Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1859-05-01

We cannot too often too warmly express tho
admiration feel for the sound, national tone of
the Democratic press and speakers at the North
The following rebuke of the seditious and unc on
stitutiOnal purposes of the Northern Opposition is
from the New Hampshire Patriot which it is need
ess te say is a sound Democratic paper:
Senator Seward distinctly admits that the Demo-
cratic party is the only barrier the success of his
reasonable and revolutionary scheme of war of
extermnstiOn upon slavery in the slave States He
says that, in order to accomplish his object the
Democratic party must be permanently dslodged
from the government" and the reason he gives is
because that party :" is inextricaDly committed to
tho designs of the slayehoders." HI boldly declares
that all the States must be either slave or free
that they cannot be permitted to decide, each for
itself, whether they will be slave or free, but the
friends of freedom must settle the question: and
must make them all free. This is the sum and sub
stance of his platform, and the leading black organ
in this State cordially responds to his sentiments
as follows:
He seward feels what every sagacious friends prn
cpes feel that the question settled, except
by the complete triumph OF freedom over It's sworn and eYerlas

We thank Senator Seward for his speech We hauk N that

''Such being the bloody issue invoked and the
unconstitutional purpose proclaimed, mark the ad-
mission that the Democratic party is the only barrier
to its success. A higher compliment never was paid
to that party even by its enthusiastic admirer
1t admits that the salvation of the Union depends
upon the success of that party-s fact which we
have long labored to impress upon the minds and
hearts of our people, and faet.which, when fully
established in their minds will ensure the complete
and permanent success of that party"
The following is from speech delivered by E. D.
BEACH, Democratic candidate for Governor in Mas
sachusetts, on the 1lth of October, 1863 Speaking
of the Opposition party he said:
They say they intend no insult to the South and
no reproach of their institutions; but they brand
them as ian Odious institution to be loathed and
abhorred"
.'Fhey profess to desire peace but they invoke the
demon of discord.
"They aver that they love the Union and will
preserve it; but they join hands with those whOpray
seven times a.day for its destruction.
81 know these men rant of aggression by the slave
power and load the South with reproach in every
form. Every offensive act and every crime in the
criminal calender is charged upon the institution of
slavery. They assign to the South influence and
power she never possessed, and then make her re-
sponsibe for acts she committed, is no foun-
