How i. was Accomplished.


The Republican journals denounced the dis
union threats of the Southern Democracy in the
event Of Fremont's election as mainly an cleo
tioneeriug trick TO frighten the tinidity Of the
North into the support of Buchanan. And here
we have the confession that such was the fact,
companed with characteristics boast of its sue
cess
"ouR REMEDY HAS SuccgEnED Our rally
ing cry will be disunion Disunion whenever we
are threatened with such fate. The danger for
the present Is passed. Our remedy has succeed
ed. We will preserve and cherish the remedy TO
be used whenever similar dangers occur Rich

What is this but an additional instance of the
custom, followed from time mmemoral, by the
Southern politicians. to browbeat the North into
aequiescence with their demands In the time
Of the passage of the Missouri compromise, ohm
Randolph well expressed the idea, when he said:
We have black slaves at the South, and white
slaves at the North, The latter of whom (styled
doughfaces.) we manufacture at viii, just enough
to enable as to accomplish our purposes" And
the means resorted to by the South to manufac-
ture these tools Gustly held in contempt by all
honorable Southern men, while they gladly
cept the fruits of Northern servility,) is just
after the pattern delineaied by the Virginia
gau of the Buchanan Democracy, above.
In 1850, the Southern I" remedy to secure the
passage of the fugitive slave law, was the same
stale cry Of, :. the Union in danger" the result
of which contingency they averred would be the
ruin of Northern interests, we'll knowing that it
would be the death of their darling institution,
but knowing, at the same time, that the dssolu-
tion of the Union was thing impossible to be
brought about by the Shareholders, while they
briudshed over our heads the threat of it to
frighten timd and doughface Northerners into
compliance with their demands. Well, by such
means, they got the might've slave law, making
many vote for it who loathed all its provisions
from the very bottom of their hearts, as sincerely
and earnestly as Franklin Pierce denounced it at
New Boston, in the spring Of 1851 But the
tempting prize of the Presidency induced Gen.
Pierce subsequently to eat his words, at the die
tation Of his Southern masters, and he rode into
the Presidency in 1852 on the strength of his love
and admiration for that iniquitousftatute, we'll
as his sworn oath to "protect" all the other
slavery compromises Of Congress, including that
OF 1922. 1854 came around, and another still
greater, and almost unprecedented demand, was

The fundamentally resorted to for the accom-
plishment of the object soughtth repeal of COM
promise the South had forced upon US, and reap
ed the fruits she could get from it, is described
by her leading newspaper organ, in the extract
quoted above. 1t was the same thread.worn old
bugbear Of "a dissolution Of the Union" as if the
South had any serious idea Of lifting finger to
bring At about. On the contrary, she is trembling
in her shoes this very instant the fear somebody
besides few "Garrisonian fanatics" at the North
may agitate such a movement. In case of such
a movement being seriously contemplated, the
great Southern Remedy" delineated by the
Richmond Enquirer, to which the slavery exten'
sonists resorted in order to bring about the cleo
tion of Buchanan, would prove Of no avail and
'.J0hn c. Fremont, if the Republican candidate
in 1860, would be trlnmphanty elected, and no
obstacle be in the way Of an administration of
the government on strictly constitutional and
truly democratic and republican principles mod
elled after the principles Of J fferson, as EN-
bodied in the Declaration at Independence and
the immortal ordinance of 1857.
