real. That many of our Democratic editors
cordially unite with him in accepting and Defend
ing and maintaining tho institution of Southern
negro slavery as the ittcst system of society for
the negro man." And with this sentiment other
men of other parties also sympathizc aud are
fully entitled to share with Democratic editors the
sweet morsels Of his commentators Indeed We
think the editor cannot himself place much stress
upon the distinction he points out, else ho would
not have come North to establish and seek sup.
port for his own paper, with its ultra pro-
slavery views.
SLAVERY AND LIBERTY BOTH NATIONAL
In the following paragraph the Monitor states
its views of the relations of the North and South
to Slavery:
Every one who has parents, children, or kin
bred who has anything valuable to lose, or any
thing desirable to hope for, should rally without
delay to the rescue of the Union. We must 90
back TO first principles, and abide by them. We
must sustain the Constitution as it is. and the
Union as it was. Let him who is opposed to
slavery, own none. Lot him who desires to pos
soss them, have his will. Slaves are property.
Both freedom and slavery are national. Royal
charters, which fixed the boundaries of the Col
onios, never to be altered without their consent,
made slavery lawful. Horses and sheep
are not made property by statute. Slave
property existed in all tho Colonies. Slaves were
levied upon and sold for debt, in ovei Y one of the
original thirt zen States. But the Northern people,
through their representatives in their State Legis-
latures, agreed to dispense with that description
Of property. They had n right to do so. But
they had no right to lcgislate for other States and
other people. Nor have they any right to exclude
other people with their property from the republic
domain"
The Union thus making slavery national, the
Southern Monitor is consistently the friend of the
Union. 1t adds:
"The Constitution IS the Union. One cannot sur.
vive the other, and their destruction leads to
inevitable war. The Black Republican Legisla-
lures are battering down the Constitution and
even now the Union is sinking under their blows.
The Abolition party must be destroyed, (Dlenda
est CdTthd9O) or else there must be q Dissolution.
This sectional strife has run into excuses, that no
power on earth can prevent a full and final issue.
In vain would be a resort to counter-irritants.
And he who says there is peace, is well aware
there is no peace. lie is either weak in mind, or
no friend of the Union"
We most cordially agre with this advocate of
Slavery, that abolitionism is the enemy of the
Union. But it is hard that the Republicans after
all their clamori in favor Of the Union should be
set down as its enemies. If their party was an
abolition party tho charges here made against
them would be true. But as they disclaim that

as friendly to the Union as the Monitor itself, But
it is not for abolition. On on page of this South
ern Monitor do we find that in decidedness of pro-
slavery or in devotion to the Union it excells the
following declaration of Massachusetts Republicans
written in song and set to music. A song OF
which the following is one stanza was sung at n
Republican meeting in Boston to elect delegates
to q State Convention to be soon held in Wor-
cester:
IT'S the will of all the North,
From it we'll not finch,
No more soil for slavery,
Not another inch
We ask not Southern men to Weld
A single right they hold,
Or to give up q single slave
That they can sell for gold.
uurrah IIurrah the Union
We swear that it shall stand
Preserved by Freemen shall it be,
A great and glorious land.
The Southern Monitor must wake up it's genius
or its Republican pupils will soon be beyond the
reach of its suggestions. Its vocation will
be gone.
LUZ tiC uOHttO VII ITuucuI foresight, con-
templates the possible attempts of Northern fanat-
les upon that bulwark of Slavery, the Union. and
looks about for its means of successful resistance.
And here is its inventory. Verify its strength is
but weakness, as here set forth, and truth will not
permit its improv ement. How ridiculous the
~braggart threats of the South. How contemplate
the services of the North who stink into
subservioncy before such threats.
WHAT THE SOUTH WOULD DO IN CASE OF
AN ABOLITION INVASION.
And there would be thousands and tens of thous-
ands of the sons Of the South, sojourning among the
abolition propagandists, who would return to their
native land, or at all events oppose any demonstra-
ton against their kindred. Nevertheless, should
the conquest be attempted, and an invasion be eff
fected, what would be the probable result? The
Southern States would not have many cities to be
pillaged, nor many factories to be consumed.
Their wealth consists in vast tracts OF land and
millions of slaves. The first could not be removed,
and the last would be kept at a safe distance from
the advancing wave of Black Republican aggres-
! sion. The old men and boys would command
them, and cause them to build Notifications, con-
struct arsenals, collect provisions, DC. The rest
would face the enemy. Would they not? If they
D fought for glory on the plains of Mexico, what
: sort of a stru gle would they not make in defence
{ of their hearths, their sacred affairs, and the graves
of their fathers? They have never neglected
their militia training and hence the NUMBER oil
D military titles among them. And they have more
: leisure than the New Englanders for they have
never been accustomed to daily tasks. Their
!, crops are always growing while they sleep and
the time consumed in successive campaigns
! would not be to them n heavy pecuniary sacrifice.
3 But every fanatic usually has some regular en-
%ployment and as a common laborer earns larger
+ wages than the pay of soldiers, every day spent in
" the work of conquering the South, would be a loss
S to the conquerors. And as the tide of war flows
C and GIBBS, the wave of Black Republicanism wonld
recede in turn. Then the reiuent course of retri-
;. butive slaughter and destruction would leave q
scene of desolation behind resembling the path of
=" a hurricane.
