enterprise. This morbid ambition Of forming .
southern republic, consisting Of two classes
masters and siaves-iikc Europe under the bar
Ons With the cities left out, 10 tie fruitful source
Of al our troubles. Slavery was put into the
disunion programme more a. means than an
end because Il wn found that slavery was the on
y interest with which the entire South was iden-
titled. The necessity Of keeping the real de
sign back, pushed slavery into the foreground,
which has consequently become the 0yefshadow-
Ing question Of our politics. II should be re-
membered that the making Of this issue was an
sfter,hought; and that the conspiracy first plant
Cd itseli npon free trade, and subsequently
changed IL ground more than once before IL
settled down upon the niger - the most poll
tic expedient. The task 70 be accomplished vas
the overthrow Of the union, and alter several
trials, the slavery question vas found TO be the
only lever strong enough for the work and the
eeasAssn planters determined 70 make ne mig
ger do that - we'll - everything else.
To use and sbass the Federal Government Tor
the promotion Of its schemes has been leading
feature n the policy OF the conspiracy. when
those schemes ere ripe. or when the government
can be no longer made subservient 10 them, the
Union must be dissolved. There Is no further
use. for II. The New Orleans Delta believes the
hour has come; the Charleston Mercury thinks
the election Of Buchanan should postpone the
event for four years, TO make the final even,
more certain; Gov. Wise sayshis election would
merely insure a brief period Of peace and prep
sration. 1t seems to be admitted among them
selves, thatit would be better to wait If Buchan-
an should be elected, In the hope that his I'D.
ministration would be instrumental in strength
ening their power and multiplying their resour-
ces; but as Fremont's administration would be
against them. IL he should be elected, the toe
sin must be sounded At once.
This theory reconcilcs every contradiction
and unlocks every mystery. It explains every.

The dairy record of the press bears testimony
to the truth e these allegations In late is.

the New Orleans Ddta, from which We take the
following paragraphs. We must presume the
entire article has the sanction of tho Leader
since it accompanied its publication by no edito

"such being the social and political value o.
slavery, its diffusion and extension are of the
