The North the Original Agxrexsors and the
Real DIsunionIsts.
The only disunion party this country now has or
ever has had, is the Shareholders party. The only
political communities who have ever threatened to
dissolve the Union, or secede from the Union, are
the slave States. The only State that ever threat
ened and undertook rebellion against Federal au-
thority was South Carona-a slave state. Inc
only party in Congress who now talk about break
ing up the Union is the proslavery party.
IN. Y. Tribune.
The above extract is on par with the dsin-
genious sophistry peculiar to the Abolitionists
of the Northern States. They make persistent war
the South and her Institutions nullify her con-
sttutional rights, and deny her all legal remedies
for the security of her propery-nay more, trample
upon her honor, and even invade her territory for
the purpose of melting servie war. And when
the Southern people demonstrate, and point out the
inevitable result Of continuance in such policy
when we show them that it must lead to disrup-
ton, bloodshed and civil war-we are told that it
is the South that threatens disunion; and that it
will be the South upon whom will rest the respon-
sibility, if such deplorabe event takes place.
| Nothing could be more unjust and untrue than
that the pro-slavery men are disunionists. No
communities are SO loyal to the constitutional it
came from the hands Of its inspired trainers, than
the slave communities. The constitution guarantees
to us all that need, and all that we desire-and
if the Union is maintained on its broad basis, the
| South never will listen to dsunon or secession
But if the Northern States by their State Legisla-
lures, or by the fanatics1n and violence of their
mobs, override that constitutional they substi-
tute another basis of union for that sacred com
pact, and wish to be steadfast to confederacy
in which original position peers and equals
haan che fpc inf dam plara an1i
feriority-then the people of the South will be
compelled to withdraw. Policy and self-respect
forbid their longer continuing under government
whose leading idea is their prostration and debase
ment Should such contingency arise will it be
Just to charge the South with the guilt of producing
it? Does not the responsibility rather rest Hpor
that section whose aggressions and hostility to The
South have made secession necessary.
If, then the Tribune and its Republican co-parti
zans are not DESTROYS of seeing dissolution of thu
Union-f they are really loyal to the Federal Con
stitution in its integrity-let them counsel their fol
lowers to cease their mad crusade upon the institu
lions of the South. Let them repeal the State law
that nullify solemn act of Congress; let then
abolish their underground railroads for facilitating
the robbery of Southern property let them clos
their ears to crazy and reverend revilers of South
ern character-in short, let them deport them
= selves in such fraternal manner as to render
: possible for the South to live in harmony wit
them and maintain their self-respect. If their Ill
II lawful and wicked acts render the Union intolera
Bile to the South if their policy makes it impossibl
: for the slave States to remain in the cOnfederac
except upon conditions disgracetu and ruinous-
the guilt of the separation, with the responsible
for all its train of misfortunes and disasters
S which we believe must fall principally upon the
: own section-will weigh upon the North. TIL
l. sophistry of the Tribune cannot hide this grea
= truth.
