DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.
We hurriedly alluded yesterday to the arraignment
Of Col. Jefferson Davis by the New Orleans "Dsts,"
on the grave charge of believing Mr.. Buchanan to be
an impartial patriot who is determined to do justice
to both sections Of the Union. To-day we propose
more extended notice of the article to which We
then referred. The "Deta" is, perhaps entitled to
the claim Of Leadership among the organs of the vi.
trasts. 1t certainly goes bowshot beyond most Of
them in its mpetuous zeal, and generally gives the
keynote to ts co.adjutors. But from the fact that
it is 80 outragsously intense in its ultrsism, the
"Delta" is not remarkably injurious journal. al
though breaches dangerous doctrines. It's
derate mitators are calculated to be productive of
greater evil, because they are neither uncompro-
maing nor so frightfuly furious on the subject of
Southern rights.
The "Dslta," by openly attacking Mr.. Buo.
hsnan as an enemy of the South and severely rsbu
king such acknowledged leaders of the ultraiss as
Jefferson Davis, serves to amuse the public with the
violence Of its wrath rather than to weaken the inu
of the Administration impsr the confidence Of
thecountry in its capacity and patriotism The"
is consistent in its sectionssm And but for the un.
reasonable extremity to which It always advances
its views, it nigh. be enemy to be dreaded by the
National Depoorscy. But it essays to lead where
the people will always refuse to follow. We would
not if We could, induce the "Dea" to desist from its
course of hostility to Mr.. buchanan. The conservs-
tive sentiment of the South shrinks from It, the
loyal and fearless soldiers would remonstrate against
order 10 save themselves by shooting each other
The Delta" would dissolve the Union every time
we fail to reclaim fugitive slave. The Southern
people are warned by its reckless COURSE to beware Of
the same dangerous doctrines inculcasd by it's moro
discreet, but less candid aud bold imitators. The
"Delta" deplores the serviity Of the South and is in
cned to abandon all hope Of protection to the insti-
tuition of slavery by the National Democracy. Our
New Orlesns cotemporary is censtitutionally com.
PEELED to quarrel with the party in power. His tenn
permanent is evidently eEcitable. Nothing sesms to
suit him. And indeed, we doubt exceedingly that he
would be satisfied for more than week or two, the
Union should be dissolved, just TO oblige him. The
"Delta," we are quite sure, would soon cry out for
subdivision. In concluding the elaborate article in
which it gently e1coriates JEFF. Davis for presumng
to consider Mr.. Buchanan disnterested friend oi
all sections, the "Delta' INDUCES in the following &C.
rious reflections, which, it will be observed, are re.
| leyed and enlyened with a real fourth OF July
flourish:
We are more convinced than ever that nothing can
the South but union of the South. regardless
| of old party organisations and their leaders. we
are more content than ever to see old party watch
words and shbboleths falling into desuetude-to see
the dead past burying itsdead. and making way fol
future Of action, esrRestness hope and fruitien
As for Col. Davis, we regret that he has narrowed
himself down to the eIigences Of provincial parti'
zsnship, and that he has thought 1t necessary IN or
der to checkmate Gov. Brown, Thompson, and oth
era, to kiss the very hem of the Adminlstraons robe
and speak with batting breath when it's sacred name
is mentioned. But Col. Davis is not the South nor
is Gov Wise, nor is any other single body in or ou
of place or position. Men may come and men may
! goi the stars may appear and disappear; many q
whited sepulchrs, full of rottenness, many granc
old temple peoplsd with false gods. may be thunder
riven in q night of storm TO come but we may hope
for a dawn sfterward full Of golden promise, when
fresh the morning, bright as the sun and terrible
as an army with banners the South militant sha o'
triumphant.
If our cotemporary is "more convinced than eve
that nothing can save the South but q union Of th'
South" according TO his own calculation, he is pur
suing suicidal policy. There has never been
time when the slave States we're go drawn togethe
by a common danger, when they so closely spproIi
mated unsnipity of sentiment, when the Southern
people have spoken with so nearly an undivided
voice. And the most dangerous division that car
possibly be effected in the ranks Of the South is tha
aimed at and worked for by the "Delta" and othel
ultra Southern journals of a kindred class.
Gov. Wise has been visited with the condemnation
of the "Delts" for some months past. And now, tina
jeff Davis too in the estimation Of that journal, has
fallen from grace it remains to be aeen who will come

reign of terror among the sdherents Of the Admins

destroying the Union. 1t would bring Mr.. Buchanan
to the block and the chivalric JEFF. Davis receives
an ominous mark of it's dangerous disapprobaton
The "Delts" is 80 intensely Southern, that we fea
Il will become confirmed monomaniac on the sub
