Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1858-08-27

to unite with the Black Republicans We quoted
passages from the Journal distinctly announcing
that while the Democratic party remained in power
the South would have too much influence in eontrOll
ing the government, and declaring that the North
must and would have tie "preponderstiOg voice"
in the party which the journal proposes to organize.
We republished extracts from the Journal pledging
70 the Black Republicans Of the North the sympathy
and support Of Southern wings, in their warfare
upon those patriotic men who voted with ihe South
in the last Congress. We think, we exhibited pretr
ty clearly that the object Of the Journals plan was
to weaken the Slave ststes, aud build up and
strengthen our enemies We shall offer further ox@
tracts rom the Journals article, in order that our
rssSsrs may fully understand the objects which the
Journal desires TO accomplish by this fusion with
aboIitioaists The Journal argaes that the Ameris

and continues:

This necessary aid they most certainly cannot obs

are the aims which the Journal proposes the Wings

Justly thinks the AbOlionists may accomplish their
aims, and with this view Southern men are invited
to unite with them. Now the editor of the Journal
is, aud has always been, an abOlitiOuist. He has
since be first set foot on Southern soil ceased
his warfare upon Southern institutions. He has
nursed in secrecy and silence feeling of dark and
malignant enmity against the South, even while
seeking that support at the hands Of its magnani-
nous and generous sons which he had failed to re.
ceive in his native New England. But grown strong
from the bounty which be has received from our
people he thinks he may now safely indulge his deep
and long cherished hatred against the interests of
the section which has sustained him. The soOth-
cred fires of his hatred have ct length burst forth,
and he now openly adFocstes the organization Of
party which has for its object the overthrow Of
Southern institutions. He dares to propose to his
benefactOrs coalition with their enemies which viii
be fatal 70 their interests and degrading to them
selves. He attempts to betray those who have
trusted him into the hands Of his secret allies at the
North, and to bind them down OF the footstoOl of
sbolitionism in a bondage at once absolute and
humiliating. We hope that the men from whom be
has received 50 many benefits and, whom he now
treats mis- vassals, viii spurR the impostor ana
the traitor, as he deserves to be spurued. We hope
they will teach him thai there is virtue enough left
even in those who contaminated By his assoeias
ton and influence reject the base proposal and to
despise the mean and pusilanimous spirit which
conceived and suggested it.
To show the feelings with which the Journal re-
CARDS The Black Republicans and its desire 70 give
them strength and serve them, We conclude with tbs
following significant passage from the article in that
paper from which We have before quoted:
The great need Of the Republicans is a ssUor ofaa-
tioRqiy There is Disgusting the fact that 1t is
viewed by large majority Of the nation as purely
sectional party. That 1t was what caused its de-
feat at the late Presidential election Ths ii is that
will insure its speedy defeat, though fer once
il should temporarily succeed. Considerate, dispas
sionate men, even at the North, dislIust aud dis
counienauce purely sectional party. No Temporal
