well prepare to bow in craven submission to Its be-

equality, liberty and sefpreseryaton The century
will not be notched with many more years before the
practical enforcement of the above plan OF operations
will be attempted Should Senator Seward be elected

It will be seen that all further compromise is ex-
peitly repudiated that the cold fashioned systems
of gveand-take, concession, etc., as are presented
by the question of the extension or restriction OF
slavery, cannot any longer be maintained cih safety
to The Union that the thefts, the abuses the uncon
stitutional practices and monstrous denunciations
upon and of the Southern people by the Northern
people, are beginning to ALLEVIATE the latter and pre-
vent " cordial, mutual understanding without which
the Union cannot possibly proftaby exist; y that
the people of the two sections are yearly growing
apart instead of yearly growing together :; that the
cause of this odious severance is the institution of
domestic slavery; and that the North, in one
steady, unvaryng cry" says to the South: Between
slavery and the Union choose land you shall choose
the Union"
We have read some impudent productions in our
day and generation, but the above pronuncamento of
the Times surpasses any and all in downright impu-
dence. Suppose the people of the North and South
are alienated from each Other and are becoming more
and more alienated every year. What then? Why,
the question at once naturally arses-what was the
cause of this unfortunate alienation. The cause is not
be found in the institution of slavery in any act

exclusively. 1t originated in the North, and Adolf"
tonists and Freesoilers were its originaors. They
apply the basest terms in the language to US, and
wonder if we become indignant. They steal our pro-
perry and are surprised if we are not animated with
kindly feelings they spit in faces, and expect us
to return thanks as would for favor: they tram
pie upon u.s. despiteuly use US, rob of consti-
tutional rights threaten with all kinds of frghtful
treatment in the future and then, because their own
horrid conduct has led to natural result-aenaton
of feeling between the two sections-turn round and
declare that slavery is the cause of all the trouble
that slavery must be throttled, oldfashioned sys
tens " to the contrary, notwithstanding-and that
they will choose :" between slavery and the Union,
and that ,re -" shall choose the Union"

the good will of the sons of the man he had murdered
as well might forger burglar or counterfeter assert
his title to rank respectable citizen, for the

and origin of all the difficulties between the NORTH
and the South and that slavery is.
The next thing we expect to hear of is that they
will be blaming us because they steal our negroes Il

If the Freesoilers really desire to bring about re
turn of an era Of good feeling, they can easily do it

Times Between slavery and the Union tce choose
