SOUTHERN VIEWS,

nls",-thc Democrats themselves, who re. |
opened the agitation OF slavery, caused the ciyil
WAT in Kansas, and sowed the seeds tbat pro- |
duced Old brown mud the uarper's Ferry
s'Htuie.
The Richmond Enquirer, the leading South
ern Democratic paper, demands thnt there shall
be Intervention by the Federal Government for
tue protection Of tlo,pecuiar institution. Slave-
~, it says, must be protected by Federal law,
rot only in t1< I:srssosit+ but in tie Stat; The
slave in Virginia must be held in serritude by
tue direct iuterposition Of Federal power, and
unless the Federal Government will abandon
its theory Of non Intervention, and ncknow1-
edge its obligation 10 interfere for the protec-
tion Of slavery in States as well as Territories,
there will be no more Democratic Sationul Con-
vcntions, aud 1.-The dar Of disunion will speedi-
ly dawn"
Tic En4uirfr declares that in nil the north.
crn counties Of riEginia, slavery has already
been virtually abolished l,y the mere failurc Of
the General Government to afford adequate pro-
tection to the institution. "Non-iuteryension,
says misleading organ, :. has practically Iber-
atcd the slaves Of one tntir< tit7 Of covnt;@. in
1iryinia." The principle Of Intervention
''y the Federal Government, it adds, a. is prac-
'ically aboltionizing Virginia, and gradually
but surely undermining the institution"
That p" if the negroes ut IIarper's Ferry did not
rally to Browns standard, It was because nom
Intervention Ind already rendered them frce;"
that thus, in Northern Virginia, " The authority
Of the master does not exist" that the negroes
rf 41,n$s A.
suits them to rcmuin," and that the enforcement
Of authority or labor there ''resul!s in the GER
tain loss Of the slave' On the other hand, it
appears THAT when this unrestrained liberty
becomes insuffcrab1c to the white. the negro is
converted into money, and thus white labor
gradually undermincs the institution" Of slavery
in the Old dominion; that not only Northern,
but Western virgin,n, has. practically, become
free soil, and TINT the feelings Of the white in-
hnbitants, arc gradually becoming alicna,ed TO-
wards the slave holders and the t' divine insti-
tuition" Of the State.
We are told that in ''the days Of ua.per's
Ferry tmeutes We want the enforcement flaws,
aud not their uegation,' that protection Of
slavery is demanded by the blood Of slaughtered
cstizens;' that the Southern man who dares
dens 'h's r1sht Is cTen more criminal than tho
inmates \" the chaFlesfown jail, aud that this
Fisfit 10 federal protection comnrehcnds ''pro-
lection To slavery IN the States and Territories
To render this remedy effective, the ways and
means must be provided by Congress for
more satisfactory enforcement Of the Fugitive
o'ase Law IN the Northern states, and special
coIc Of laws must be missed I,y G.onrras1 for
the projection OF slavery in tue Territories
while they remain in the territorial condition.
and, unless this be gran'ed we are again mcna-
ced win dissolution Of the eonttderacy.
