and political conflict which this programme inau-
gurates
| We call il q brutal and bloody programme, for
| il is nothing more than the announcement of a
fierce war that is to be made upon the social and
political organization of the Southern States
| The pretended alternative, that the North mus.
| give up its rye and wheat fields to slave culture
If those Of the South are not given up to free ne
| groes, is al humbug. Such an alternative can
never by any possibility occur. We have all the
life all the energy, and all the intelligence that
belong to an unmixed race and a homogeneous
population. Ina national point ofview we have
all the activity, all the trade all the education.
all the wealth, and the greatest part of The ras-
cality OF the country. The idea therefore, of the
South ever forcing its institutions or its niggers
upon us is perfectly prepos!erous.
But We can make war upon the South and il
the North is united in so doing ii must succeed
And this is what Mr. Seward wishes to attain
We must not only retain the rigAt Of self 20
yernment for ourselves, but we must insist upon
attaining the right of governing the South &C
cording to our ideas and not permitting them
to govern themselves according 10 their
own. AT our behest the entire organization Of
society in the Southern States must be changed
Ii must be made homogeneous, like our own, or
like that of Saint Domingo and Jamaica. At
present they have no defence against our forcing
them to effect this, if we have the will to do So
other than the Constitution. But the Constitu-
lion can be changed by two-thrds vote says
Mr. Seward; and if we Northerners do not change
il and make it free Constitution the South will
go on annexing territory, and will eventually
make slave Constitution Of it. We must, there
fore, make q savage war upon the South aud
win the victory in 1860. Such is the programme
of The republican party; and they will endeayor
to carry it out.
1t, therefore, behooves our merchants and our
manufacturers, our farmers and our mechanics
our men ofwealth and our laborers to consider
well what would be the result upon themselves
and their own interests If this brutal and bloody
programme should succeed The interests cfthe
North and the South are bound together by in
dissoiuble ties of sympathy. What Injuries the
one must perniciously affect the other. Our com
merce, cur manufactures our railroads and great
ways Of inteicommunication. depend in large
degree upon the untrammelled markets of sup
ply anu consumption in the South and upon
those depend The value of our labor our lands
ana possessions, all our material Interests and
the Development Of our moral powers. No
great injury can be done TO the organization OF
society without destroying its power both Of
duct and Il
zation Of the South may be compared to piece
