Other organs Of the Know Nothing party continue

On the other hand the Northern Democratic jour-
nails are boldly standing forth as the champions Of
the South and the defenders of the UnOn. They
are maintaining the rights of the States and the
/ equality Of the sections. They are deaouuoiog the
foss Of the South and utfering such sentiments as
these which we copy from the Boston Posi publish

While the Northern Democrats are courageously
struggling against these fierce assaults The South
the Nashville Banner deliberately 6slerls its sym~
palhy with Black RcpnblieaniSm in the following
language:

success Of the Republicans"
No wonder that the true hearted and patriotic
Democrats of the North who Sighting like Spar
tan heroes in the cause of the South should cry out
against language aud conduct like this. No wonder
they should feel the sting OF iDgratnde when they
find Southern journals thus siding with the Black
Republicans and cffering them aid and encourage
meat No wonder they should hurl back rebuke
TO their Southern azsailans in words like these from
the Philadelphia Argus, a Northern Democratic
organ.

Ii is not wonderful either il view Of the truck

SEWARD should e1clsm, in speaking of the citizens
of the South, "TREY ARE sUBDUED IN SPIRIT" nor
is it wonderful that he should boast of The growth
Of Black Repubicanism in the South as he does in
the following extract from his speech at Rome, New

Mr. SEWARD vas right. The opposition has orS
ganized as he predicted, and the Black Republican
party controls that organization.
We may consider the gauntlc! thrown down TO US,
then. A powerful party has resolved to crush and
subdue US We are deied and insuIted and ordered
TO yield ourselves to the mercy Of the 'prOud and
prosperous North"
single question now remsins for Southern men
to decide VIII you unite with those VINO counsel
submission and call it conservation? VIII you fol-
low BELL, and CRITTENDEH, and Boris, in their
tame and cowardly policy of concilia;ing our enc
mics by yielding up the substantial rights of the
South7 viii you act with party whose organs and
leaders openly aYoW their sympathy with the Black
Republicans even while they are finging their de-
iance in our faces? VIII southern KuoFNolhiugs
allow themselves to be bound by their leaders and
delivered ever to these insclen rufaus who declare
that they will NOT cease to war upon Shareholders
until they are subdued and submissive to their
power? CT viii you rather lay aside your preju-
dices and your auimosities against the Democratic
party, and unite with to preserve the rights and
vindicste the honor of the South against outrage,
insult, and Iavasion? The choice is for you? There
are but two parties in the connby, friendly
and one hostile TO your interests Whioh do you
prefer?
