Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1859-10-29

That the brutal and bloody teachings of
VIM. III. Seward and other leading abolition
lists are the true causes and incentives of the
| reasonable acts of Brown and other crazy
adventurers, is logical and conclusive. The
| one is the complement OF the other and both
together constitute the irrepressible con-
| fict" proclaimed at Rochester. Such con-
| fct cannot exist in theory alone. nor can its
practice come before the existence OF the
| idea. Bat to assert that the whole republican
party pray. with the Tribune, that John
Browns epilaph shall not yet he written. or
| join with Seward in believing that the fields
of the North must be given up TO slaves II
| these are not driven from those OF the South,
| is absurd in the highest degree. Every man
of sense knows that such is not the fact. There
are hundreds of thousands of men in the
ranks, and scores among the leaders of the
| republicans, who do not affiliate in any way
with the traitor t, achings of Seward and such
black republican organ the Tribune. Times.

But let every democrat look around with

as he himself claims to be. Men who oppose

Herald
We commend the above extract from the
Presidents New York organ to the serious
consideration of those Southern democratic
journals which are striving to impress their
readers with the belief that the whole OF the
republican party are enemies of the South,
and supporters of the :. bi utal " doctrines of
SEWARD, and his peculiar disciples. In the
opinion Of the Herald the allegation is alb
surd in the highest degree. EUery man Of sense
knotrs that such 1, not the fact. There are hun
dreds of thousands of men in the ranks, and
scores among the leaders OF the republicans,
who do not affiliate in any way with the
traitor teachings of SEWARD" Now, this is
the truth; and the Herald does itself credit
by proclaiming it, 1t is such truth as the
whole South ought to recognize and appre-
ciate.
What good end is to be subserved by de
ceiving the Southern people into the belief
that the Republicans are all enemies of our
institutions, willing to see them visited with
destruction by fire and sword 1t surely
cannot strengthen the affections Of the South
cru people for a government which links
them in brotherhood with deadly foes. 1t
cannot strengthen their confidence in the
stability of the Union, which shelters both.
1t cannot augment the number OF real friends
of the South to be found in the non-slave-
holding States. No, its effect is evil; and
evil only. 1t would be better for all if the
real truth were adhered to and told at all
times. That the state OF things i'll the North
should never be msreprcsentod. The South
would then know when her enemies prepon-
derate in the North--when there is real dan
ger; and how to prepare to meet it.
