New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-09-28
TALKING PLAINLY.

Gle. al The Register has been 50 long the accredited
organ Of the Democracy Of Alabama that our memory
runneth not to the contrary we take its language as
language Of political moment, and shall extract and
comment oouespondingly. And, en- PasSant, we will
briefly allude to conjunction of rather significant
circumstances. The erstwhiIe editor and part pro.
prietor of the Registration. John Forsytt--is now
United States Minister to Mexico The probabilities
are that he will soon return to this country and
resume his position as edtorinchief Of an influential
journal. According to our impression, Eve may be
mistakenly, he has not been treated well by the pres
ent Administration There is nothing inexpIicable
about this as he has always been known as strong
Southern Rights man, and an ardent sym1athizer
vita such noble spirits as Qaitman, Brown, MeRae,
and others, who have taken the liberty of think
ing speaking and acting for themselves, without
consulting the Administration or any Of its tools.
Quitmau, as we have reason to know, was virtually
ostracsed for voting against the English Kansas
ugge. The late speech Of Senator Brown, at Halle
hurst, Mississippi and the address of John j. McPae
to the voters of the Filth Congressional District of
that State, will do anything but recommend them to
the smiles of the White House or the favor of the
Cabinet. Hence, we presume we are not trenchng
upon reasonable imagination when we arrive at
the conclusion that these gallant gentlemen, with
many other associates, will be all acting in conoels
ere long, and that the Administration embai. sed
as it is all sides, and getting into the mire of diff
Guilty deeper every day, will not have particularly
agreeable or PR porous time during the next session
Of Congress.
But to the Res t2r's article, asking, Is the Con
ference Act to be Respected?' The Register in view
Of the alarming and ominous indications Of dis
position and design upon the part Of the Northern
Democrats who were parties to this solemn covenant,
to disregard it, and to vot for the admission Of
Kansas should she apply before she has attained The
Representative ratio Of population y in view of The
fact " that many Of those Northern Democratic Rep
rosentatves who supported the Conference AcS have
publicly avowed this purpose )" and in view of the
late extraordinary ground taken by Mr.. English, Of
Indiana, says Is the South tOl betrayed, wronged
and outraged by the violation of the compromise to
which she was indeed at a serious sac flee OF Der
just demands for the sake Of peace, to yield, in let
ting the critical controversy upon the Kansas ques-
ticn?n and then proceeds IN this wise" However
10th we may be to believe that the Northern Demc
cratic members of Congress who became parties to
this covenant could be capable of the enomousrefdy
apprshended the Indications force us to the conviction
We quote again:
In view Of this probable act Of bad faith treachery
and outrage, it becomes question of grave and ab.
sorbing import to the South, what course she will
feel herself called upon to adopt, should her rights
and her honor be thus violated and insulted. viii
she submit to this gigantic wrong Will her repre-.
sentatives with whom the Northern Democrats in
Congress solemnly plighted their troth and support
to the compromise agreed to between them, tolerate
its violation by the party with whom they coyenanted
at so great sacrifice on their part? For our part,
we have no hesitation in saying that if the South
submits to the admission Of Kansas regardless and in
violation of the provisions of the Conference Act of
last session, she will stand irrepaably degraded
below the level of her constitutional and honorable
equality with the North ID the Union and will have
been etectualy reduced to the condition of subord
nate and submissive dependence upon the mastery
and sutierance of the North She will have kissed
the rod and passed under the yoke, and can never
after stand up within the Union and assert and feel
that she is the equal Of the North.
We haven't room for the Registers argument
showing WIN Southern Senators and Representatives
consented to the Conference bill, but we will give
the gist Of it, Here il isl Kansas as a slave State
was virtually excluded from the Union 4 the re-
maniing the Lecomptou Constitution but as q com
pensaton for this essential concession on the part Of
the South, in case Of the nonratcation Of the Con
sttution it was stipulated that the Territory should
not be admitted TIL it had population Of $4,000"
The Register concludes thus:

guessed in the Conference act have reason to he in.
