against the institutions of particular comTu-
nifty. If the relation of master and slave ne
cessarily engendered discomfort, then would
Slavery be reprehensible on grounds of pohti-
cal philosophy. And if the negro was natu-
rally disposed to violence and characterization,
perhaps it might be hazardous to keep him in
subsection. But as slavery is the normal con-
dition of the negro, as he is not so contented
and happy in any other state, and as he habit
ually submits to the ascendency of the stron-
ger race as patiently and quietly as the OK
bears the yoke, it is idle to inveigh against the
institutions of the South, on the ground that
they want stability and security. In a pamph-
let from the pen of the late President Dew,
of William and Mary College, it is established
by the largest induction of facts, and the most
conclusive demonstration of which any moral
proposition will admit, that the social system
which rests on the basis of Slavery is less liable
than other form of civil society to disturbance
and overthrow.
The reproaches of the Courier and Enquirer
come in good time to infame the resentment
which the people of the South already feel, I'M
der the consciousness that their lives and prop
erty are put in jeopardy by the incendiary
Vaccinations of Northern Abolitionists. Since
that freedom Of intercourse which the compact
of confederacy guarantees is abused by the in
PRODUCTION of Abolition emissaries our midst, in
instigating our slaves to violence and bloodshed,
the people of the South begin to consider grave
y whether they should not demand instant and
eternal separation from the North, and prepare
to protect the security of their rights, and the
safety of their lives, if necessary, by Gordon
of soldiers from the Atlantic to the Rocky
Mountains. And, since the constitutional for
mality of Presidential election is made the
occasion of a vast sectional organization, and
furious sectional agitation, to which all the
discomfort and characterization of our slaves
are distinctly traceable since the common
Government, which was instituted for the pro-
lection of our rights, not only neglects this es-
sential duty, but affords cover for attack upon
our institutions, and infammatory appeals to
our negroes since these things are understood
by the people of the South, they do not finch
from calculating the value of the Union. Per-
haps they may announce the result of their
computation sooner than the Courier and En-
quirer is prepared to receive it.
All this talk about "Abolition emissaries !"
is wretched fummery. The vigilance and
jealousy of the South are extreme; and it is not
fastidious in its measures of selfprotection.
In nearly all the slaveholding States. there
have been slave troubles, but we have yet to see
Northumberland account OF the arrest ana
conviction of a single abolition emissary."
We must have something more than random,
newspaper assertions for proof
AS for demanding instant and eternal sep
aration from the North" and "a Gordon of
soldiers from the Atlantic to the Rocky Noun
tains," that is the language of passion, and will
awaken concern nowhere.

declaration of the "settled policy" of the
Government. The policy of Governments is
exposed to evervarying vicissitudes; and it is
no true statesmanshipSto attempt to bind mu-
table things by Interchangeable laws.
Still we impute no blame to those who sup
ported Mr.. Orr's resolution when it was put to
the vote of the House. They deserve credit
for defeating Mr.. Etheridge's very reprehensible
movement.
The Enquirer has often told It's readers that
it was Northern, not Southern men that carried
on the slave trade77-that all the latter did was
to receive the slaves obtained and imported by
the former. The resolution of Mr.. Etheridge,
if it reflect upon the memory of anybody, must
reflect upon the Northern "forefathers." Why,
then, these tears of the Enquirer?

HON. THOMAS H. BENTON.

Events seem to indicate the return Of this
venerable but vigorous statesman to the Senate
Of the United States, from Missouri, notwith-
standing the Benton State ticket was awfully
Sefeated at the August election. Still, the Ben
ton members of the Legislature, combined with
the Wings and Americans, constitute near, if
not quite, majority joint ballot; and it
only requires, at the outside, very few regu-
lar Democrats las they style themselves) to come
over, to render the thing certain, beyond per.
adventure. The question may be asked, VIII
this diversion be effected in favor of Old Boil
lion? We are inclined to think so, owing to
recent outgivings Of journals highest in the
confidence of the President elect
For our part, we have no objections TO urge
against Colonel Benton's return to the Senate.
In fact, under the circumstances we would
rather see him there than not; for we enter
tain serious doubts, take him all in all, whether
Missouri is likely to send as good a man; and
she has none that can compare with him In
experience, ability, vast and varied acquire.
ments, and indomitable industry. On many
points-politically and as Southern men--we
differ from him ; but we believe him to be, with
all his faults, an honest man and genuine
patriot. Besides, he has reached that age which
takes off the obnoxious edge of partisanship,
y a1d causes The man to seek his country's good
rather than personal or party advancement
Should Colonel Benton be chosen, be can hope
for no further earthly preierment. The gen.
ersl doom which awaits all mankind precludes
the entertainment of any aspirations of the
kind.
