The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1859-05-25

The Buchanan democracy, after having been
faithfully served by the south, are making an
ARRANGEMENT TO strike bargain with the aboli-
tionists of the north This We have long sus-
pected; but now know from circumstances, and
certain intelligence from Washington. The
reckless and unprincipled leaders OF this school
of politics have discovered that in the north
they are utterly without strength; and that, IN
less some new combination can be made, the
Offices and the treasury, with its manfcent op-
portuniles for plumber, will pass away from
their itching grasp. Such result is utterly
irreconcileable with their patriotism! 1t is to
be arrested at all hazards. They now propose
to the aboIitionists Of the north to unite again
with them. OF course, a consideration for the
bargain must be offered. 1t has been offered.
And it is nothing more or less than the be-
travail Of the south-the total sacrifice OF her
interests. The Buchanan democracy of the
south propose TO the abolitionists, that, If they
will unite with them, and sustain them IN the
north, they will unite with the abohtlonlsts IN
refusing to the STAKEHOLDER protection IN the
territories. In pursuance of this programme,
Mr.. Magofin, of Kentucky though admitting
the power and the duty Of congress to pro-
:ect slave property in the territories, declares
that congress ought not to exercise the power,
or discharge the duty, because il would be i'm
politic In other words, he fatty advocates
the refusal by congress to the Shareholder Of
that protection to which he admits that he is
entitled o, shame! on this degeneracyl why
is it impolitic? Because unless the Buchanan
democracy of the south submits to this humili-
alton, and thus betrays the south, they cannot
receive the aid Of the abotionists in the next
presidential contest. Now, men of the south,
behold the Judas bargain by which you are
to be sold for thirty pieces Of silver. Will you
save yourselves; or. like bound victims, fall
into the snare of the betrayers?
Editorial notices have become so common
and fulsome-lavished upon every thing, how
ever WORTHLESS, chat it has attracted the atten-
ton of the dgnifed portion of the press. An
editor stoops indeed, when for the sake Of a
few dollars, lie gives character to a thing he is
utterly unacquainted with. This is wrong.
He should recommend nothing to the patron
age Of his subscribers, that be cannot youch
for, as many conceive an editorial notice as a
real recommendation. Mr.. r. Brenkerhof, in
addressing the late Ohio editorial convention
after depicting the error Of putting every thing
thus alludes to the right Of being compensated
for editorial notices-many papers he said, ex-
acted double price for all such service. and
added, there is still another matter which should
not be neglected by advertisers. editors and
publishers. Editors are men with like pas
sions with you, and are subject to the same in
fuences. They have also power and posi-
ton which may be welded for or against you
As the circumstances may direct. If you treat
them hberally-it is human nature to do So
My observation teaches me that editors, as a
class, are generous TO a fault. and they never
fail to reciprocate aproper lioeralily. In fact,
ninety nine times out Of hundred, an editor
repays favor with compound interest.
Every one kno,7s that an editorial notice Of
a dozen lines is worth a column Of ordinary ad
vertisng, and yet there is only here and there
a merchant who procures it. Those who do,
acknowledge the advantages derived from this
course. We must say in behalf Of the people
Of this section of country, that they patronise
the newspapers liberalIy-it is only the "str-
kers" who want their advertising and putting
done for nothing.
