both sections up To IA pitch OF mutual eN-
element and hatred, in which one or the
other, would commit an aggression that
would "precipitate a revolution, and endin I
! disunion. The conduct of the fre-eatcrs |
{ has for years, justified this belief. They |
4 have not been contending honestly, for the
preservation of what they supposed were
the constitutional rights Of the South; for
I their legitimate rights they have known
were in no real danger. The purpose near
est their hearts has been disunion and a
Southern confederacy, in which they could
be the leading spirits. The masses of the
/ people Of the South are anxious iorthe pre-
sersation of national party at the North,
on which, in case of real danger to their in
stitution, they could rely for justice and
right. They have been led to look to the
Democratic party for this protection. Bus
the politicians of that section who are dis
unionists array themselves with that party
only to use il TO perpetrate some outrage
like Lecomptonism in Kansas--that shall
exaSperate the North-excite civil strife and
bring ON ultimately dissolution. This
was their programme in the Kansas plot;
but i; did not quiet reach the point of sec
tional strife necessary to accomplish then
wishes.
They adhere to tie administration and Its
supporters only to use them as instruments
TO bring about events that will serve "to
precipitate the Cotton States into revoIu-
ton" They don't care how corrupt and
proligate the party becomes the more de-
graded ard mercenary its members the fit
ter tools are they for their purposes. The
more anarchy and corruption is introduced
into the Government, the more easily the
people will be detached from the Constitu-
ton and the Union. They seek no posi-
: ton nor emoluments for themselves but
> such as will give power and opportunity to
:. promote their schemes. They give the
n bauhes of foreign missions and the chances
d of specializing upon the public treasury.
c The spIcntlors of an English or French En-
i bassy does not tempt them from the field Of
If these reasonable labors at home.
d They have no desire for truly national

n jealousy and hatred The South alone can

Il perdtion against the North; so these disun.
