u-.s-s:s.aed spread sgd thecon ae1uenty increased
pernaneoce Vf the institution. There is no peace
for this Union on the basis OF the extension of
Slavery and the perpetuity Of Slavery. The hrst
point has awakened the existing uproar on the sub
iect and the agitation Of the second will only make
things wore.
The Pxistinz generation msy patch up truce on
the subject, and probably WILL if Kansas comes in
az a Free State; but unless the South shifts its
ground or Nebrskaism is conquered in m tons con-
test, who can doubt that the wedge is slre.dy en-
tered that will sever the black torpid mass Of South
ern barbarian from the fOurishing intelligence Of
Northern civilization Who can doubt that the

There are two results Of the establishment Of this
idea Of Slavery in perpetuity, or Nebraskaism,
which viii be directly upon US as It's fruits One ia
The spstera Of 0bsent.tism in the plantation States
and tie other ia rev and disgusting phase
of the old rotten-borough system. Social safety at
the South is 10 longer compatible with even the ex-
istipg number OF slaves. This is attested by the
late and present wide spread apprehensiOns of in
surrectOns among them. Thus wherever the
ability exists families will be taken from among
this dangerous class, until directly the lower South
ern country will be left mainly in the possession OF
the plantstiOn slaves and their oyerseers. This
leaving of extensive districts of that country to the
negroes will present this curious spectacle. These
swarmDg millions covering and blackening the
plantation states, tnOugn Lnere may De no more
whites among them than just enough 70 act as
police force and living in garrison, will be never
tbeless entitled to representation. Their masters
will accordingly come to Congress, or will send
their sgents and be representatives of nothing but
these vast black borOughs. Ten millions of these
enslaved barbarans will be entitled, under our
present ratio of representation TO over one hun
dred representatives in the lower House Of Con-
gress
A rotten. borough system ike this puts every
thing Of the same character in the old world, past
or present TO the blush. Yet on the existing plane
of national progress which our modern states men
have laid down for this country, this is the goal
that lies before us. Shocking as such condition
may now strike us as being, we are nevertheless
well persuaded that if we could be allowed TO APP
proach it under the soft Establishments of the Ad-
min;strat0n scheme of a "no agitation" and mon
Intervention" policy, q numerous host Of dough-
faces would by the time that blissful period comes,
be found in Congress from the North ready to
swear that the highest duty Of our Government
would be to protect the rotten boroughs and keep
the modern Ethiopia from rising.
But the prospect is not likely to be realized The
genius of modern democracy will IN all probability
either expel the barbarism from our system. or
sduelch it, 1t seems to us that expulsion is the
best process for all concerned. The best for the
Free States certainly; and if the excision is be-
friended by the Slave States, we cannot see why
the tine should not soon come when the passionate
osarrels of North and South over the negroes
should cease and come to an end without either
war or bloOdshed. s.P.
