Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-05-11
Abolitionists and their Allies in the South.

1 emancipation party. The Missouri Repuohcah some weeks since said that the approaching 1 election in thai State would hinge upon the question of slavery. or to use the words of that paper, .the only question involved in that cleo ton would be that of direct war upon the in- stitution of slavery in Missouri" The Repub- lcan says that it did not anticipate that the op- position would confess it, bat one of the St. Louis free-soil papers, more boldor less cunning 1 than the rest, frankly avows the object of the party in bold and interruptions language. As [ it is important, we copy it that our readers may | see what the democracy of Missouri are con- tending for and whom they are contending 1 against:
 | fThe August Election.
 1.-The Republican, in its article of yesterday 1 under the above head, acts as though the late city election had first opened its eyes in respect to the true state of political affairs in our midst IL croans forth to its readers that the approach ing congressional election, as well as the elec- ton for the general assembly, and even for county officers in this county, will be fought on the anti-slavery platform; and that Mir Steven son had declared in Franklin county and Mir | Richardson in the southwestern district that the republicans had forced the emancipation i question upon the State, and that it were useless to attempt avoiding that issue, and not even prudent to do so, if even it were possible
 We can hardly believe that the Republican means thereby to establish a reputation for as- | tuteness, in publishing what every body knows, and what we never will put in dispute, but on 1 the contrary must be our next aim, and the very next consequence of our victory at the late | charter election.
 But how will the Republican astound after | August next when it will learn, what tremen- i dous progress the free labor movement has made ID the whole country! when it will learn l that our people will no longer be intimidated l by slave owners in casting their votes; when it | will learn to what extent the Kansas election frauds have opened the eyes of every free man respecting the objects of the national demo-
 cracy; how the defeat of Mr. Buchauan in 1 Congress has even opened the eyes of the most | timid; and how the obstnacv and the despotc l principle of southern slave-h holders have changed l public opnon in Missouri.
 How wlll the Republican astound, when l its everlasting howl, in reference to the fifty millions of slave property, which is sought to be ! destroyed, will be made to hush up, as though never uttered, How will 1t astouud, when the | response will come from every quarter of the | State, that fifty millions are mere trihe in comparison with the sudden increase of the value of the whole property of the State. on the day when Missouri will declare herself free S.atel When it will be told, that the worlds history of the great wars of liberation mentions
 instances, where thousand millions were not cousdered; that England, at the time of the ' rlsig Cf lta +la of the Roman church property, regarded the ht!f of the property of her citizens as nothing
 n comparison with the Magma Charta and the victorious triumph of protes antsm; thaf, by means of the revolution in France a ten-fold larger capital changed hands in the latter country and that iNapoIeon |, whom the Americars choose to worship as a demi god, protected the new possessors by means of his laws and the force of his unlimited power.
 Fifty millions of slave property in comparison to the increase Of the value of our property in one year, And who prevents our slave owners | from selling their property south, where we are every day told slave labor is so much sought after, even to re-introducug the African slave trade! Who prevents them at this time, when they and their head, the Missouri Republican, even now foresee the inevitable result, from embracing the proper means to secure them selves against damage? Who indeed, has told ! them, that seek more than our profit more ! than the advantage of the majority of our white l population? and who says that we deny them J the privilege to dispose of their slave property 1 where they may see fiji?
 | Our endeavoriti is to ce'fceimy-ma | t,ey look 10 the ways and means of getting rid ol their slaves!
 1 The Republican has guessed aright, and it ! ought to learn from history that when people ! desire to carry out a principle, important con- l sequences ars ever disregarded it ought to learn | from every days experience that the farther a l stone rolls down a mountain the more difficult it becomes to restrain it's force; and the nearer 1t comes to the inevitable abyss, the more 1t will be enabled to give is party more shrewd advice than that of obstinate, ridiculous and dangerous resistance against gigantic, irres!stl- ble power"
 h Arkansas, with the exception of one or two instances of preteudcd preachers belonging as they sad to the northern branch of the Methodist Church, who attempted to preach aboIitioniSm but were promptly checked, the abolitloni3ts have never dared to show their hands But, if there are any, they will now be disposed to show themselves, as the know nothing press of this State have indor8ed the treason of Bell and Crittenlen and seem disposed to follow them into the ranks of the opposition.
 The leaders of the black republican party have set down as part of their programme the establishment of an anti-slavery party at the south
 The Washington Star thus notices their con duct in regard to the vote on the Lecompton- Kansas bill:
 Never in the course of our extensive poli- tical experience, did we witness so exutant joy on the part of the abojtiofists of Con- gress as is just now being manifested in their newspapers as in the conduct of those of them in Congress over the vote of Messrs. Humphrey Marshall & Co., the minority of the South Americans-on Thursday last upon the Kansas State bill They declare, in the excess of their joy, that they have at length established GoIn file anti-slavery abolition party at the south; that they have enlisted in the cause of aboitionism these men, of suffi- cient standing and influence to get into Congress by the suffrage of southern constituencies They point with proud confidence, indeed, to the votes of the six southern representatives who dl0 tner WOrk on thursday last as evl- dence of the truth of their expectations and calculations in this connecticut"
 The American party is dead, worse than dead, for it is merged in the anli-slavery party The editor of the Kentucky Whig know nothing, organ acknowledges that
 :" In the north, or free States, the Americans as mass, have undeniably joined the Doug las anti-Lecompton party beyond the hope of rallying them again upon the American issues as distinct party organization. He who does not conccde this must be blind to facts"
 There are but two parties; the democratic
