THE NATIONAL ERA WASHINGTON D. G., SEPTEMBER 49, 1859

What grand auxiliary to commerce and civil
ization have we here, then, in this bold enter
prise What miracles may not be accomplish
in the colonization of the sparsely inhabited
portions of the earth, from those which are
overrun with population The crowded IN
habitants of Europe can be transferred IN
few days to the fertile but neglected fields of
Virginia and Carolina by thousands and tens
of thousands; while their slave population can
with equal facility be conveyed to the congenial
regions of the tropics. The intercourse be-
tween Europe and America and China and
India will become as easy, as common, and as
mutually beneficial, as that between the UNI
ted States and England; thus disseminating
civilization and Christianity with rapidity
never before known, and tending to the reali
zation Of those higher and holier dreams of
prophets and saints, which assure us Of the
universal reign of peace and good win among
men on earth

THE DEsPoTIsM OF PARTY.

A Western editor makes the following frank
confession of his slavish submission to party
"Whenever the Democratic party, through
the medium of properly constituted conven-
ton, shall adopt any measure as its future poll
CIV, the Examiner will then be bound to recog-
Mise that as the policy of the party but pre-
vious to any such conventional action in refer
ence to certain questions now agitating the
public mind, it holds itself at liberty to make
such suggestions, and to express such views, as
it may think proper"
The editor of this paper claims to be a free
man, and, We presume, would have the world
think him honest and independent; yet he is
ready to abandon his pr lciples, and fight like
Turk against them, whenever the Demo
cratic party, through the medium Of a properly
constituted Convention" shall override him
This editor lives in the s. we State of Missouri,
but his slavish spirit is n, owing to the imme.
date presence of the peculiar institution; for
we had occasion to draw attention to a precise
ly similar avowal made by Democratic y
paper in Maine, few weeks ago. There car
be no doubt that the tendency of party organi
cations in general is to re.)ress individual indie
pendence but the Black Democracy, above al
other parties, requires the most slavish obedi
ence on the part of its partisans. Doubtless
this peculiarly tyrannical characters ic is due
to Slavery. The Slaver.f ohgarchy is an or
ganized despotism, and if will listen to no hest
tation or scruples on the part of those whom i
has suborned into its support. Who can b.
surprised at the prostitution, the corruption
and the despotic creed, of party which exact
such humiliation of its newspaper organs az
that avowed in the above extract from Mis-
souri, newspaper? Is it not time that the peo
pie should be aroused to the danger which
threatens their liberties, when despotism and
corruption are thus bold and impudent in re
quiring implicit obedience from the public
press This editor, and q thousand like him
in the country, is ready to defend coup d'etd
by military despot, as he is now defending
the gradual, but sure, transformation of our
Government from a limited Federal Republic
into a central despotism, whose great object is
the universal spread of Slavery.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1859-09-29

rights of the States to regulate matter purely
local, in their own way.
Can it be that Messrs. Stephens, Toombs,
and Forsyth, understand that this will be the
policy of Mr.. Douglas, and hence demand him
as the candidate of the party for President
Since writing the above, we have met with
the following strong confirmation of the views
above advanced. The article below is from the
Mobile Register, edited by Mr.. Forsyth. 1t will
be seen that, like ourselves, he argues that MIR.
Douglas cannot consistently oppose the repeal
of the laws against the slave trade. His whole
theory of popular sovereignty is spoiled by
the continuance of those laws upon the statute
! book:
| e One Of our Reasons.-The New Orleans
| De1td, in paying us handsome compliment on
our advocacy Of Senator Douglass claims to
the nomination for the Presidency, takes oc-
casion to express some surprise at our course,
considering Git says) Mr.. Douglass avowed OPP
position to our favorite measure, the reopening
of the slave trade. We have always deprecated
making this question political or party issue,
at least for the present, and we heretofore dis
cussed it, and shall continue to discuss it, as a
question of economical policy and commercial
| legislation. But we can inform our friend of
the Delta that Mr.. Douglass position on this
important subject is one Of the reasons Of oar
aoaYm support Of Mr.. Douglas. While such
exteme Southern men as Houston and Wise
grow vehemently eloquent On the immortality OF
the slave trade and vie with Abolitionists in
denunciatory defamation against it, Judge
Douglas has neoer uttered one ICOrd against the
morality Of the SldUe trade, no more than against
SIaoeyy itself Even though we are not pre-
pared to endorse bis opinion that the suppress
sion of the trade is one of the compromises OF
the Constitution, we heartily rejoice that be has
placed the question precisely where we want il
to be placed-on purely legal grounds. Laws
may be abrogated, Constitutions may be amend
ed. Judge Douglas himself is the champion
foe of compromises sohich sacrifice the rights
and interests of the aceakeT to the strong. Wha
compromise was ever deemed SO perpetually
binding or so impregnable as the Missouri
COMPROMISED Yet, boldly battling for great
principle, he attacked, aud, to the wonder o.
the world, destroyed it. Moreover, his very
doctrine of local selfgovernment is the radiea
principle, the vital essence, of State rights, in
| their fullest sense. Carried to its logical and
inevitable deductions, it is the only hope We
have in the Halls of Congress for the abroga
ton of the piracy laws. Slavery, and all thing,
connected 10Th .SlaUe,y, are matters of State
legislation exclusively. 1t is not then for Con
gress, but for the South, to decide whether
there shall be importation of foreign slaves Oh
not. This is one of the reasons why we, con
sistly with our oft-expressed views and policy
are earnest supporters of Judge Douglas"

LINES FOR A VILLAGE FESTIVAL.

The Persian to his altaIs bore
Sweet blossoms fresh with morning dew,
And yelled the old false worship DER
With beauty borrowed from the true;
Around Palemon's lowery shrine
Their maze of grace the maidens wound,
And wove the wreaIhs of Isthmian pine
Wberewith the victors' brows were crowned
And we to- day, amidst our flowers
And fruits, have come 10 own again
The blessing OF the summer hours,
The early and the latter rain;
With msnhood's strength and maiden's glance,
To lend our Christian holiday tH
The beauty of the Persian dance,
The vigor of the Grecian play;
To see our Fathers hand once more
Reverse for US the plenisous horn
OF autumn, filed and running DER
With fruit and flower and golden corn.
Once more The liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stores than gems or gold;
Once more with harvestsong and shout
Is Natures bloodiess triumph told;
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among the garnered sheaves;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her forehead gay with autumn leaves.
Oh, favors old, yet ever new
oh, blessings with the sunshine sent,
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discomfort
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on;
We murmuF, but the corn ears I'LL
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts il shines behind us still
God gives with our rugged soil
The power 10 make il Eden-fair,
And richer fruits TO crown our toll
Than summer welded islands bear.
Who mumurs al his lot 10 day.
Who scoms his native fruit and blooml
Or signs for dainties far away
Beside the bounteous board of home
Thank Heaven, instead, that Freedoms arm
Can change a rocky soil 10 gold;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold
And by these affairs, wreathed with flowers
And piled with fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.

LESLIE THE SwINDLER.-We are gratiied to
learn that Leslie, the swindler of the young
ladies, has been convicted and sentenced to
the Penitentiary. We find the sentence as fol,
lows, in the Philadelphia papers:
"Judge Ludlow said: l regret extremely to
be obliged to pass sentence in this case. That
regret is based upon the ground that the de.
PENDANT is convicted for an offence of a con-
temptible character. pity you because man
should be guilty Of such an offence. l would
sympathize with you if could hope there
viii be no one to sympathize with you while
you are in prison, because hope the law will
be carried out to IFS fullest extent, and you will
receive your sentence to a very letter. Nothing
now remains for me to do but to cousign you to
a cell, where reflection, hope, will enable you
to see how you have destroyed the confidence
of the community, and how you have even
shamed your manhood. You have, by your
adroitness, made yourself amenablc to law
upon only one charge, which l am sorry for.
viii now sentence you to the extreme penalty
OF the law. Sentenced TO three years in the
Eastern Penitentiary, at hard labor"
