ore preparing for a terrible onslaught at the
next Presidential election, which BODIES evil to
the South. In this belief we stand not alone.
Able men and influential journals, in the South
and all parts Of The country, entertain the
same opinion, and an action on The part Of the
Southern people, to meet the avalanche that is
threatened, has beeG earnestly ard warmly re-
comtnendpd-a Recommendation which low

known TO themselves, but one which The pa
triotic ia this section Of the country will gen

on the heavens, and when clouds give indica-
ton of a storm, be prepares his vessel to meet
the force of the tempest. a journalist who
citizens, and who loves his country and its
constitution better than The insignificant isms
Of party, cannot fail to advise what sails should
be carried, what precautions observed, when
the ship of State, or any portion Of its struc-
ture, is threatened by Northern gales. And it
is an incoDtroYertible axiom, that he who de.
rides warnings Of approaching danger TO a
people, which are warranted by established
facts and the evidence of his senses, is making
himself, ID fact, an auxiliary Of the enemy

conduct of such men arises either from selfish
ness or a direct antipathy to the!people among
whom he lives. But as long as the world
stands, men will be found who will sell their
country for a "mess Of pottage."
The determination by a party of the coun-
try to abolish at all hazards (f they can get
the control of Government) an institution
guaranteed by the constitution as one of our
just and inaIienable rights, is but little better
than treason in the outset, and merits whatevs
er action which the Southern people may think
| proper and judicious to prevent such a fanati-
cal ascendancy in the Government. The mo-
raj effect of a union of Southern hearts and
hands upon this subject, cannot well be esti-
mated. To the national men Of the North it
would give an assurance of success in 1860
(and therefore have a corresponding infuence)
which could never be felt were we divided by
insignificant party issues, or the lingering pre-
JUDGES of former political enmities.
There is no danger to be apprehended from
the Black Republicans, say they who speak in
contradiction to existing facts. and to glaring

their intentions, together with remarks upon
it by an able contemporary, and below we give
the declaration of what is intended, coming
from WIN. Lloyd Garrison. He says:
We ~reiterate our former declaration, that
the object Of the society is not merely to make
liberty national and slavery seetionai"-nor
to prevent the acquisition of Cuba-nor to re.
store the Missouri Compromise-nor to repeal
the Fugitive Slave bili--nor to make Kansas
Z free State-nor to resist the admission of
any new slave State into the Union-nor TO
terminate slavery in the District of Columbia
and in the Northern Territories; but II is. pri-
marty, comprehensively, and uucompromising-
ly, TO effect the immediate, total and eternal
overthrow of slavery wherever it exists on
American soil, and to expose and confront
whatever party or sect seeks to purchase peace
or success at the expense Of human liberty
Living or dying, our motto is: mo Union with
shareholders, religiously or politically
No danger from the Black Republicans,

say you, when such are theix declarations!-
No danger, when in 1860 they will have
