New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-11-27
VIEWS FROM NEW YORK.

| commences q long article with the following para
rrap the strange revelations Of which will doubtless
astonish large number of good people hereabouts:
Nsw RI Daily an Of u.s.
spreading before them the facts which dsosS the true . S
Union til Mr. Buchanan its favoe candidate elected but
of s se o ho m e
The foregoing is so rich in-fasehood no-mstske
we mean-that it is difficult to answer it seriously
The Crescent an organ of Mr.. Sdells political sect
in Louisiana etc. Did the reader ever hear of such
joke? No. he never did! The Post has aimed at
the wrong mark For its information we will state
that although entertain very high respect for the
ability Of Mr. Slidell as man, and his fathtulness tc
his constituents as Senator, have ever opposed
him strongly on political grounds and have been some
what prominent in our opposition.
But the second proposition Of the Post far surpasses
the first in richness and flavor. It is, really, gem OF
it's kind. Says the Post "The Crescent did not be-
lieve in dsunion till Mr.. Buchanan, its favore can
didate, was elected,' etc. Now, we are the most
patient Of men we dislike difficulties; and utterly
abhor quarreling, but wish we may be tetotacl-
ously chawed up somebody says, before We"lll
submit in silence to the outrageous ISLANDERS OF the
Post. There is point beyond which " forbearance
ceases to be yrtue,' and the Post is striving to
push us beyond that point. We won't stand it! No,
we won't With coat off, and sleeves rolled up, we
proclaim that we won't! Will the Post please to
strike an attitude? We are ready. Mr. Buchanan,
the Crescent's e fayorte candidate: when Millard
Fillmore was in the field What diaboical caumny
Was the like ever heard of? Why, we entreated and
prayed and prayed and entreated with the people of
Louisiana in behalf of Mr.. Fillmore, whom we con-
sidered then and consider now the first, best and
truest of living American statesmen But the obsti
nate people wouldn't listen to us. With tears in our
eyes great deal bigger than large-sized pancakes,
we told them that Mr. Fillmore was the man, the only
man, equal to the national emergency-but they said
Buck, Buck Buck, and finally bucked us clean off the
election bridge into Salt River! This bad enough
without being msrepresented by the New York Eve
ming Post Confound the Post, fit don't make this
matter straight In this wonderful age no man can
tell how soon he will be unfortunate enough to be run
as a candidate for the Presidency. Therefore, he
should keep plain record, or try to.
Immediately succeeding the above paragraph, the
Post quotes two from the Crescent, and proceeds to
comment upon them in this wise:
undeniably true, and the question
with which the paragraph closes may be answered by saying
ports Mr.. Buchanan will find itself BADLY BEATEN aud President
elected who will represent NOT minority controlled by set Of
tension of slavery The New Orleans print mnges that sees
warning in ne-douIess with view Mr.. Buchann's edit
cuonbu Tor part We perceive no such danger II the
must bear it or if tey think o,herwise we shall compel them
to bear it. The matter must end there
There is serious matter in the foregoing, and we
shall treat it seriously On several occasions we have
warned the South to prepare for the future by point
ing to the present and past This leading organ of
freesoism doesn't attempt to disguise the intentions
Of the party to which it belongs. 1t speaks boldly
and to the point. We give it credit for maniness.
In so many words it states al enemy to the South
will be elected next President that it sees no
danger of dissolution of the Union and if the South
States unable to bear further ntoerabls ppres
sion that we (they shall compel them to bear it.
THE MATTER MUST END THERE"
The Post is mistaken. We tell it so in all earnest
ness and sincerity. You cannot compel" us to
drink of the cup you present That is impossible,
even though the wine-press of death should overflow
with human gore and if the Post thinks that South
ern gore would be the only gore that would moisten
the eagh in the event of such attempted compulsion,
or Southern towns and villages the only towns and
villages that would redden the sky with the glare Of
confagration, it makes a fatal mistake Before that
compulsory process is completed the earth will have
been unwilling witness to scenes unknown to any
eras Of her history, ancient or modern.
Then the Post after announcing the forcible nten-
tons of its coadjutors says: The matter must end
Mere.' greater error was never committed by an
intelligent journal. The matter could not end there,
as the New Workers would learn to their cost, when
too late. One hundred millions of dollars of South
ern exports would be wanting. What would become
Of their importers? What would become Of their
wholesale merchants? What would become of their
shipping interests? What would become of their
banks? What would become of Wall street? And
what would become Of their hundreds of thousands
Of artizans, aborers, etc. if the entire production
and custom of the South should be transferred to
rival and inimical hands, as will be, just as soon as
it becomes apparent that the North is determined to
compel us to servie subsection, to deprive lis of
constitutional rights, to debar from every pri-
vlege guaranteed by our oretathers and to make
condition contemplate than that of an Austrian
scrf?
Let the Post and its confreres take warning. The
elements are hardly beginning to show themselves.
Beneath an almost unripped surface, there is cur
rent flowing steadily and strong, and it is augmenting
in volume and power daily.
