The South made great mistake when u snap
ped so eagerly at the bait offered BY Northern
demagogues, and by the repeal Of the Missouri
compact made slavery permanent element in
national politics. The more eagaci0us OF south
\ ern Statesman have must foreseen the result in
some measure. But there were very few, South
or North, who could have predicted ut the time,
what 10 likely soon to be made evident to all,
that In its rebound no more deadly blow ever
has been, or could have been, aimed ut the
| system OF American slavery than the repeal Of
i the sacred compact by which portion of the
national territory had been perpetnally reserved
to free labor. Out of this seeming evil, and
| real crime on the part of its perpetrators, the
retributions Of Divine Providence will educe
paramount good, in the exposure Of the true
spirit and influence Of slavery and is the over
throw of its political supremacy. We are con-
i fdent Of this, not only because We believe in q
l Providence that superintends and directs the
affairs Of government and politics, as we'll ne Of
individual life; but because Of the forecast sha-
dows Of coming events that begin TO show dis.

pact Of 1920, has awakened at the North cor
i resp0ndingly aggressive spirit against slavery.
i 1t is not in human nature that IL should be 9th
erwise. We feel, and justly, that the South has
no regard for coMpacts and compromises, except
SO far they subserve its own peculiar interest.
And the general feeling at the North, even
among those who were once ranked among the
i most conservative classes, now is that we will

/ the Missouri lcOmpact had not been broken
down, slavery would quietly have taken pos
session Of the territories south of the Missouri
line, and the whole country would hrve silently
acquiesced. Now the determination Of the free
