NARPER'S FERRY RIOT.
About one year since, William H. Sew
ard, the prince of traitors, boldly proclaim
ed at Rochester n. Y. in the presence of
ten thousand freemen, that between the
north and the south, there was an SIRE
pressible conflict" There he avowed that
the entire country must be either free, or
slave, declaring that there must be no
peace on this subject, until all is either
the one or the other.
Joshua r. Giddings, another traitor to
the American Union, in language less
wary than that of Seward, declared that,
slavery has no rights; and we will on
cede it none; we war not against its erten-
sion, but against its eristence."
Scarcely a Republican in the land but
would sooner his right arm should pal
sy," han that he perform the duties
required of him by the plainest provis-
ions of the Constitution of the .. S., by
act Of Congress to enforce these proyis-
ions, the former of which by the supreme
tribunal, is construed to have reference
to slavery, and that the latter is sin strict
keeping with the Constitution.
And though they are unceasing in their
assaults upon the executive of the nation
whenever, and wherever he shall attempt
to preserve order and enforce the laws of
the country OF protect the property and
preserve the lives Of its citizens, still they
have the audacity to assert that they love
the Union.
Now we hold that there is no UNION,
but such an one as was formed by the
patriots and Statesmen of the Revolution,
and that was a Union, if not of slave
States, in which they held the ~preponder-
ence.
Then if truth dwells upon their lips
they love slavery. But their Professions
are most false; the glorious Union ofcon-
federated States formed by our patriot
fathers is despised by the arch traitors
who follow in the wake Of w, H. Sew
ard.
Aye, here we see them in this instance
organized to execute the most dangerous
purposes, regardless alike of the perils to
human life, and of dangers to the insti-
tutions of our country.
Our readers are by this time fully &C
quainted with the particulars Of the dis
graceful affray. And further they are
aware that the traitors leading this dam
gerous rebellion, had gone so far in the
road to instruction, IS to make actual
provisions for the establishment of a pro-
visional government, on the ruins of this
Republic. Yes, acting at the bidding of
such men as Seward, Greedy, Giddings,
Chase, Banks, Sumner, Lincoln, and hosts
of other Republican leaders, they had
actually promulgated and published a
plan for a military despotism, more
shocking than the black code of France,
and more despotic than the dictator Of
Mexico.
And we ask for what is this horrid
destruction of private property, this sac
rifce of the lives Of twenty five millions
of whites to be made, if necessary, to
their purposes!
Simply to give personal freedom to less
than three millions of beings who in the
best possible condition that has yet been
formed for them, are as much the slave
Of the white race, as the negro upon a
southern plantation. r,
But we shall expect to see the entire
Republican press of the country endeav-
or to palate this disabolical attempt to
revolutionize the country, and in vain
will they struggle to extricate themselves
from the position in which a practical is
sue upon the teachings and principles OF
their w men, has involved them.
But enough; we shudder in contempla'
ting the magnitude of their purposes, and
