Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-09-22
False to the South" /"

The opposition papers are full of denuncia- tons ot the democratic party as haitors to tue S0uh They have been repeating the charge for years, until the people know by heart, all they have to say on the subject And vet, the south has rendered an overwhelming verdict in favor of the democracy. Even intense AmerlCanism" is insufficient to bind southern CTS to the opposition, and these democrtc traitors to the south have been steadily increas- ing Tn southern strength, notwithstanding the flood of light thrown upon their vllainies by the darklantern luminaries. What a set of political asses the southern people must be- in the opinion of the aforesaid lumnaries. Heed- less of all the warnings they have received they are every day becoming more and more anti American and anti-southern-more and more disposed to trust their interests to the keeping of the tratorous "locofoco' party.- Truly, southern Samuel's disinterested efforts in behalf of southern rights are but poorly ap- preciated by the people south of Mason and DIxon's line. In such an awful prcdcament- almost sthed with pent-up southern patriotism --where ShaN Samuel go for aid and com fort? Gan he not in some other aud more enlighten- ed latltude find kindred spirits to assist him in protecting the south? Such, 1t seems, is the 1 happy idea which has struck him with immense | force, as will be seen by the following extract from the Richmond Whig faithful S which deserted the parent party from which it took Its name, and said to Samuel" whither thou goeSt l will go; thy people shall be my people," etc. Hear its intensely southern | propositions:
 "A~, therefore the slavery question will be practically st tied and out of view by the close of the next Congress, are in favor of con- bning all the elements of the opposition to the democracy in one compact and powerful organization for the Presidential campaign of 1860"
 Again the same paper says:
 But, as we have sail, when the admission of Kansas shall practically conclude the whole controversy on the vexed subject of slavery, neither we nor any southern man could then | nave the slightest hesitatian in cooperating with any man or set of men at the north, upon platform made up of other issues and new measures. For example, in the matter of a astnbution of the public lands among all the States, would we not be justified in standing shoulder to shoulder with any ybody--even with those who may have been known heretofore as the rankest and most uncom promising of black republicans? We surely would; and so in re. gard to any other measure or principle which has no necessary or legitimate connection with any proJects or designs against the constituti- onal rights of the south."
 Said Samuel unto Sambo, "embrace mel With our left hands upon our stomachs and our right hands extended towards the spells of office, we will swear to wage a war of extermi- nation against the locofoco party, which in the free States Is an infamous saveocracy, in favor of the extension of slavery; and in the slave States Is composed of traitors to the south" Such s the source from which southern in- stitutions and southern rights are to receive their protection, so soon as the democracy as- sent to the surrender of the political power of the country to the guidance of Samuel Ssmbo | 3 Co.-Ky. Statesman.
