Wegivo below an article from the Green
vile Patriot, which, coming from that quar-
tor, is of no little significance. Its tone is
something new for that Journal, aud we
cannot but congratulate the Resistance mon
of the State, that the "Patriot," heretofore
the head and front of Uniousm, has began
to count the cost. 1t finds that there arc
greater evils than even separate State &c
j. tion, and that it is time for the South to
''put her household in order, that she may
not die, but live, as a separate, independent
Republic, in che possession of her rights
and property"
HoN..T. 6. GREENS SPEECH
We have just finished reading this most
able aud 'mastcrly speech, seut us by Judge
Evans. 1t is, indeed, most triumphant
argument, in reply'to Judge Douglas on
the admission of Kansas. We have seldom
read a speech more in conformity with our
views. 1t cannot be answered, and is con
elusive on every point A mathematical
demonstration cannot be more so to our
mind, The.aittle Giant is Aoorcd for
once in his life, and placed in no cnviable
position. Itdoes seem that Judge Doug.
las is about to prove recrent to his party,
to the cherished principles of his life, to his
country, the Soutli, tho Constitutions, and
his own great fame and illustrious, states
manship. We deeply lament aud mourn
itas great public calamity. lie Is going
to undo all that he has ever done on the
subject of Kansas. IF the Chicago Demo
crat is correct in its statement of the future,
Judge Douglas is going, like 6lach tSai-
tor, into tllcranks fthc Black Republicans,
and become the standard bearer of that
odious and fanatical, unprinciplcd and mis-
erable party, We dc not wish to believe
1t, for Judge Douglas has been, for years
past, our beau ideal of great and noble
Senator; and we have looked forward with
feelings ofpride, to the period when he was
to be called by the great American people
to fill the chair of Washington. It is said
that his purpose is to get the Black Rcpub-
licans to ignore slavery under the guise of
popular sovereignty and with this brighter
motto inscribed on their banners, accom-
pish their purposes and win theirvictories
over the South aud the Federal Constitu-
tion. We hope and earnestly pray that
this may be.a foul SANDER. No one has
exposed the foul pollution of the Black Re
publicans more than Judge Douglas 1t
is not creditable that even so corrupt a par-
ty as the Black Republicans, will permit
one. to be their standard bearer and their
Presidential candidate, who has exposed so
often and So eiiectually their rascality and
treason. Should Judge Douglas unite with
the Black Republicans, he will sink as low.
'a the estimate of every honorable man as
Aaron Burr or Benedict Arnold
Nothing has occurred during our politi-
calElife which gives us greater pain than
this disafection and detection of Judge
Douglas. 1t will give rise to thoroughly
organized sectional parties, in which the
South will be in, hapless minority, and
will have to put her household in order,
that she may not die, but live, as separate,
independent Republic, in the rosscssionrof of
ller rights and her property. We have
fought our whole lifo against sectionalism,
for we know thatit must inevitably accom-.
plish a dissolution Of this greatand glorious
Confcdcracy when once permanently estab-
lished. We have fought this banefill prin-.
ciple at homo and abroad in the South, and
atthe North wherever it has been seen
to raise its hideous, selfish, contracted, and
snnpatriotic featWes, We have honored and
gloricd in being associated with the Dem
ocracy--the National Democracy of the
North--under the lead of Judge Douglas
and others, They were a broad, national,
patriotic party, wllorepudiated sectionalisn,
and held on to the Federal Consultations,
the equality of the States and the union of
the States. Whenever this Northern par
ty embraces sectionalism, 1t win be the
dcath-k of tho Union and the destruc-
tion of the American Republic
