TIE New York Obsr;sv and Essq"sv'
or. WV. II. SswAaD's osgsa IN the city
Of New York, openly declares that, Ia
the event Of the election Of its tavor't'
20 the Prosidency, the Southern States
.h.ll be wAipped into submission. II
saws, in substance, to the people OF the
South, that unlc.s there be calm acqui-
esceace in the doctrine that might givcs
the right to tyraunise over the weaker
party, they shall "be sehipped into obc-
diencs, just ~ > sulky, or insolent, or
unr'ily school-boy il made to feel that,
when necessary, the birch will compel .
prompt il not . wiling discharge Of all
bic dutiss.' Imagining that the Repub.
lican party Of the North have nov the
power TO coercc the South into submits
sion, We have IN exhibition Of the inso-
lsnoe of that power, which threatens fif.
teen States Of this Confederacy with the
lash, If they resist the iuAiction Of . foul
wrong. There is an old adsgc, 'that if
you put beggar on horseback be will
ride to the devil" The Republican
party, 10 the foolish expectation that the
people Of the United States will entrust
to its holy keeping the fate Of this Ma
ton, thus early exposes to view a pro-
gramme of what would be its admins
tration Of the Government, if its expec,
tations were realized. The herald Of
"the irrepressiblc conflict thus depicts
the first movement which, instead Of
ending in disunion, must end in a su3ju-
CATION Of the South
Then the men Of the north awaked
from their slumbers, and hurting back
defiance, and treating them with scorn
and contempt their cowardly threats Of
dlsunion, told these reckless and dishon-
ored tricksters that not only should the
principles Of the Missouri Compromise
be restored and enforced, but that il
need be the state or states which ventur-
ed to trifle with their allegiance to the
Constitution and tho u Mon should DO
whipped into obedience, just as a sulky,
or insolent, or unruly school boy is made
to feel that, when necessary, the birch
will compel a prompt if not willing
discharge Of oil his duties. That lesson
has been very fairly inculcated and the
south now understand that if any por-
ton of this great confederacy, whether
it be the east or the west, the north or
the south, attempts to withdraw from
the Union, it will be promptly schipped
AYE, ~hipped into subsection. It is
all idle to mince the matter. The fiat
has gone forth and will be enforced. Let
Washington, Oregon, and California, at
the northwest, or Maine, New Hamp-
shire, aud Massachusetts, at the north
east, or the agricultural states Of the
north and centre, or the slave states OF
south and southwest-let any one OIL
Of them, or any combination of them
raise the banner OF rebellion against the
American Union-wc care not what
their pretence for treason-as certainly
a. there is God above, SO certain is it
that the offending states will be whippeo
into obedience, and the traitors who en-
couraged rebellion terminate their career
on the gallows. The north, the centre,
and the west-the great heart and most
efficient limb of the confederacy-are oil
true to the Union and the Constitution !;
and should Disunion raise its head at the
south, John Brown has taught the world
how much opposition from that qnarter
is really worth.
Will any sane man conclude that the
justice and liberty.loving masses of the
North will adopt such sentiments Is
theses Sentiments which point to a
Capitalization Of power in the General
Government and q subversion of the
rights of the states? Sentiments which, if
carried into practice, would re.inaugur>
ate the policy Of the Administration of
the elder Adams?
But this Union has been kept together,
not by threats and intimidation, but
rather BY the dispensation Of equal and
exact justice to all sections Of it. The
security that the Nation has for con-
tinuat'sn Of this policy is in the contiu-
ued ascendcncy Of the Democratic party
In the administration OF the Government.
The people will maintain that ascend
ency, and thereby perpetuate the
Union.
