Ihaunily. beyond its sphere Of mischief.

IA Whilst the motives of those who com
Epose the coalition harmonic in the over
Throw of Democracy, their next step
must array them in fierce antagonism to
ii each other. The. Black Republicans
wish to circumscribe the South, in or
der that they may employ sectional pref,
udice to secure perpetual monopoly o.
Federal spoils and abolish the institution
| ofslaverv. The friends Of taxation and
expenditure, on the other hand, are de-
sifous to increase the tariff, open the
sources. Of appropriation, and reconcile
The Southern States 10 this sectional poll
Icy by seductive appeals % their patriot
ism, OF sophistical arguments addressed
to their interests.
This mercenary faction will no more
consent 10 circumscribe9 the South, or
discourage It's labor, than the nomadic
robbers OF the East win permit, che far
mer to be disturbed in cultiyating the
CROP Of which be is destined only to re-
tain as much as shall afford him an in

I1 When the next Congress shall assem-
| Bile, we may look for aid effort upon the
part Of one wing Of the coalition 70 renew
Tie strife Of Kansas. and TO embody their
favorite doctrine in the Legislation ofthe
country.
From the other we may anticipate q
system Of appropriation which viii
speedily empty the Treasury and create
the Necessity for an increased rate OF tax
atom We may, also expect the discour.
Iagement ifnot an open opposition to the
continued agitation Of i question which
must make their Southern subjects rest
less and ungoyernable.
We have recently expressed the opin-
ion that the question 81 taxation is as
much sectional question as that Of sla-
very, because the commercial North re-
ceiyes more from the Federal Govern
ment than it pays. whilstthe agricultural
South pays more to the Federal Govern
nent than it receives.
The South then stands In the un(ayor-
able condition that both these great sec
tional interests have combined against
her. It issonly from the discordant pur-
poses of these enemies that we can hope
for safely, as q captive is sometimes res
icued BIZ conflict between those of his
captors whoythirst for immediate slaught-
Ter, and the more provident, who prefer
This present services, with the chance Of
future ransom. The South, then, has a
llchoice between being "butchered 10

ed AS the mental drudge Of a mercenary
taskmaster.

party has erected, both BY Legislation
and adjudication, and because ofIthe diff.
