The Funeral sermon Of Black Ilepubii.
~ scanijAn.
One Of the most dangerous and alarming
questions that ever agiiated the county grew
ont of The interGesSsce by Congress with thu
domestic institutions OF the Territories, and
the desperate attempts which have been
made to enforce through Congress laws pro-
1 bibitihe slavery in them, inslead OF allowing
4 the people of the Territories 10 settle this mat
ter, ss they decide al others, for themselves
The question Of Congressional Intervention
formed leading issue of the late President
campaign. The Democracy Of the county
By the passage Of the Nebraska Bill, planted
themselsssinton high and lofty Constitutional
ground. Believlng'ifs Missouri restriction
uLconstita,ional, they repealed il. Believing
the people Of lie Territories as capable Of
self-gosernmeps as those Of the States, Il was
resolved that they should enjoy that privilege.
By thus discharsins plain, clear duty, and
giving vitality TO grsa. principle, storm Of
fanatieai feeling, never Before surpassed in
the history of the country, was raised. A
thrss-.housand parson power was Goneenira.
ted TO crush rs. Ministers Of the GOSPEL,
who understood the prophets much beatiet
than they did the law, preached new cru.
sade against the Constitutional Democracy,
aud light-hsaded, raving orators snsersd with
whitening contempt q. the cogent reasoning
which had gained the sanction of the Demo.
cratic party to the Nebraska. Kansas Bill, and
which commended tina. measure 10 ,s earnest
support. As usual, the noisy clamor of the
opposition drowned for while the voice of
justice and truth, ane many men who read
and knew just enough about the matter 10 be
very strongly convinced that the wrong side
OF the question was the true one, were mar.
shalled into their ranks. As the Presidential
election advanced, the firors OF Black Re.
publicanism grew intense, and the mad zeal
which inspired its devotees blinded them 10
the political fate which was to overtake them.
The election of MIR. Buchanan was death
blow 10 their hopes. Against the distinctive
measures Of their organization nearly two.
thirds Of The American people were found ar
fayed in the great trial for November. The
general sstisfac ction aiaplayed by the country
at The elevation OF Mr.. B., even by thousands
who had not voted for him--,he sense OF re-
lief everywhere evinced at Fremopt's defea,
--the happy tranquility and restoration Of
confidence, the efs-eslablishment Of nationality
OF feeling, which has followed the decision
OF the American people; the re establishment
OF peace 10 Kansas the advancement Of the
general welfare of The country, ell combined
to crush out from Black Republicanism nearly
all IFS vitality, and the startling exposures Of
the Corruption Committee, and the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Buchanan, destroyed what little
was len, and nothing remained of the party
but it's black corpse. Having thus been killed,
il was bnt right that 1t should have funeral
sermon preached over It's remains, and this
has substantially been done by the delivery
OF the late decision of the Supreme Cout Of
the United States In the DRED ScoTr case.
So far as the action of the Court on the great
question of the iimes, the consti,utionslity Of
the Missouri Restriction, is concerned, Il 90.
CURED al peculiarly oppqtune moment--~
The American people had given their verdict
in November and II has now been ratified
and confirmed blythe highest legal tribunal
OF The couniys The policy Of Black Repub.;
lieanisn is auih&itativeiy pronounced 10.
constitutional. The judgment of the Demo.
cratic party is affirmed. The fine spun the.
cries OF the opposition are annihilaled and
destroyed. They built their house upon The
sand, and the rainNeame, and the winds blew,
and it was washed away, while the grea,
Democratic party having founded their gu.
persfuc!ure upon rock of Constitutional
truth, il has wilhsIood all the tempesuous
war thai was waged against ii, and now shines
forth more resplendent than ever, from the
very assaults 10 which Il was subjecsed., The
theories OF the Black Republicans have been
Tried and weighed both in the populsr and
Judicial balances of the nation, and having
been found wanting, stasd condemnsd.--
Black Republican doctrines cen no longer
have any considerable influence upon The
country. They are doomed--upconsii,u
al-and therefore as totally impracticabls as
the establishment Of monarchy, ,,or the crea. !,
ton Of titled orders, Dukes and Barone,s,
among US. ANY future attempt to sdvocate
them as practical measures will be but arrsns
demagogueism, which win excite the con.
tempt Of every sensible man. The Cohs.itu-
ton, as expounded BY those whose decision
is final and binding. brands Black Rspubli.
canism as Incompatible with its provisions.
He who advocates the latter does i, in Sefi-
ance Of the former. The two cannot survive
together. ore must perish. He who stands
BY the Constitution opposes Black Republic
oanism. He who adheres to Black Republi-
canism opposes the Constitution. VIVA. pa,
trioi, who loves his country and her institu-
tions, and who desires TO preserve the bond
whioh has made Us great and powerful ma
tion will hesitate IN selecting between the
Charter OF American liberty and greatness,
and the otten platform Of rotten and delunct
partys
