Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1858-11-20
The Plos rhickens.

We quoted on yesterday extracs from Southern
Know Nothing journals inviting and soliciting a
Union with the Black Republicans in the next PreSi-
dental campaign We called attention to the fact
thas the o-gsns Of TIE two parties we're engaged 10
solemn conferences concerning the best means OF
bringing about q complete fusioa Of the opposition,
and hus carrying forward "the great cork Of Tgsn-
Grating The eoay" We referred to the late speeches
Of VIZ. II. SEWARD, The embodiment and exponent
Of Black Republicanism, and asoertained frOmthem
what this s'great work Of regeneration" is We
ouOisd his declaration that slave States and free
states cannot exist in the same republic, chat slave
p must be abolished in the South, and that this
must be accomplished by the States themselves, 'ia
co operation Nth The FEDERAL GoDsnmsnL" We copied
The Mandatory language Of the Louisville Journal
c6unsnting on Mr.. SEWARD speech, and pronoune-
ing this odiOus and revolutionary sentiment ''a per-
stly Innocent proposition" We adverted to the fact
that abolition journals we're spriDging up in the
South, and an organized effort vas being made to
dfFuse anti slavery opinions among the people We
found the opposition newspapers in sieve States at
tempting to sgkstsDask Black Republcauism and con-
vince their readers that it is Patriotic and eonser-
vstive organisation. We observe their efforts to
ooucliste the leaders Of the opposition by folsome
as,terv and trucking subservieDey their diets-
zion. We find them yielding, one BY one, those
s.plaius and castles" which Mr.. SEWARD says must
be won back from the South, and Offering to unite
With freesoilers in the "greal work Of regeneration
which they propose. We csnnot be mistaken in the
Imposition that ell these things parts Of great
scheme, Of which SEWARD is the head, to effect the
abolition Of slavery by revOlutiOniziDg the send
meuts Of the Southern people through the agencies
ne have deseribtd We DO not believe all Of those
who sre actually cooperating in the scheme, are &C
arainted with the purposes Of those under whose
direction they are lsboring To their eyesthe mys-
teries Of The plot have not been unveiled They are
used as mere instruments 10 the hands Of the cum
ming craftsmen who devised the scheme.
Some Of these intrigufrs, like Mr.. BELL, are led
on bysmbition ard the hope Of future hORors 1t
may be part Of the plan to elect Southern man
20 the Presidency IN order to gain appearance Of
nationality ard conceal the ultimate design of the
movement. But wboever may be elected, should the
.itiou be successful ne will be the nominee Of
VIZ h. SEWARD, will be elected by SEWARD's Black
Republican minions, and win be pledged to carry
out his purposes. In the article Of the Louisville
Journal to which we have referred the writer, after
making labored effort to convince his readers that
sEwABD's sentiments, warmly urges union Of
the entire opposition upon Southern Wing or Anne
ricsn. The insidious abolition emisssry who con
ducts that journal knows full well that II the De-
moorsev il once broken down and the opposition es-
tsblished il power, the institution OF slavery ana
the soualv Of the South ere as sFectually crushed
with Mr. BELL or Mr.. Boris or Mr. CRlTrENDEN IN
the Presidential chair as with SEWARD or WILSON IN
the same position. They would be controlled BY
the power that created Them; they would be govern
ed by the will of the great political HieraTch who
byealbsd The breath Of official life into their EOS
tr1s Tbev would enter the white house with Sc
Wards cellar on their necks. They would be bound
down At his footstCol-tbe creatures and the instru
,,ents of his power. These men have already shown
how they can debase themselves before the enemies
If the souih.-hOw subssrvient they can be to
their dominion They will serve very well for BE-
vans purpose Through them he designs to sub
iuosre the South. He Esys we ''Grs already SUD-
dasd" But when he has succeeded in establishing
the opposition in power, in securing fer the Black
Republicans the control Of the Government then
he will strike that final bios for freedom and CON-
plsle that .great work of regenerating the country
Of which they speak
We have said We do not believe that many OF thos'
in the South engaged in aiding the schemes OF th'
abolitiOnists, and building up their power, arr
aware of all the consequences Of their own pohey
The secrets Of the inner temple have not been re-
vssIsd TO them They are the dupes Of q deep laiC
scheme. They have been led blndfold into the IN
holy place. and forced to kneel before an IDOL Whos
bideous features have never been unveiled TO them
Butlet them beware of the insidOus leaders whom
tbsv follow. Let them beware that in their intern
perate snimosity to they Democracy they do not be
come The willing and conscious miniOns Of Blsel
RepublicanIsm, cOnspiriDg with them for the des
tructiOn Of the South.
Ills impossible to Disguise the purposes Of tn
BLACK Republicans any longer, andif our opponent
do not see them, they must close their eyes to tn
light. SEWARD has declared his purpose, PRENTIc
sspetiousd it, and Mr. Bell has signifed throug
his organ that be will accept the nomination OF 70
partv Of which SkWARDis the head. The st. Lou
Democrat, is preaching abohhOnism Ia Missouri
and Flank BLAIR is prOolaiming freesOh sentiment
on the stump.
