the following from the Richmond Enquirer
SHALL THIS CHARLESTON CONVENTION SoMI-
U NATE HENRY A. WISE
d The New 7 ork Herald says:
The conservative men of all parties,
North and Sonth, speak highly of Governor
Wise, whose stock has gone up 1enel hun
dred per cent. since the Harper's Ferry af-
fair ~ ;5s-- 80 e. -
!. The Herald is right Wise's stock has
gone up one hundred per cent. since the
Harper's Ferry affair" Yes, Harper's Ferry
has conquered Harpers Magazine The
authority of LAW and ORDER has snpplanted
the negation of non-i1tervention.
-
What the nation wants at this time is,
laws enforced, property protected from John
Browns, both in States and Territories
The moral of Harper's Ferry teaches that
the interuenti0n of authority, both State and
Federal, is demanded as much in States as
in Territories. Intervention is not wanted
to introduce, but to protect slavery. The
average common sense of mankind, 1.-THE
Republican phrase for insurrection, is but a
Pathological expression for the negation of
law-non-interUention Upon the Charles
ton Convention will deyoive the duty of
drawing line of demareation, broad and
distinct, in platform and candidate, from
Black Republicanism. No compromise scil
be entertained. ~ az
The South knows its rights, and Harper's
Ferry teaches she must MAINTAIN them.
Should the Union surVi0e the approaching
Congress, the Charleston Convention viii de-
eide its fate. If the South is permitted by
an existing Union to meet the Northern
Democracy in Charleston, the consultation
will be calm and deliberate. The first men
of the South will be there assembled. No
scheming, plotting politician, seeking an
opportunity to barter rights for public plum
der, will be able to crafty his reasonable
propensities; but, in firmness and with Dig
nifty, the doctrine of Intervention for pro-
tection will be insisted upon by the South,
and the representatives of the Northern De-
moeracy will decide the issue. Hfor inter
vention, the nomination will be proceeded
with if against Intervention, there will be
a leave-taking, bidding adieu, separation,
a disunio,l, secession that will not only
prognostic, but potent-a shadow of COM
ing events cast warningly before to inform
and deter. The Democratic candidates must
be presented to the people of all the States
upon the nltimGttns of the Constitution as
understood and decided by the Supreme
Court. If there are not conservatives
enough at the North to elect conservative
candidates, there will scarcely be found con-
servatives enough at the South to save the
Union. As honest journalists, in Il position
which enables us to know Southern opinion
and to see and understand all the move
ments upon the chess-b board of Southern
politics, we calmly warn our Northern al
lies Of the danger. 4@
IL
correspondence ramiies the Southern States
that " The Enquirer" is received at 1892
postoffices, is read by phlegmatic farmers,
as well as fiery politicians that our ex-
changes embrace almost every paper in the
South, and that from the tone of the South
ern press and the tenor of our letters from
our correspondents and subscribers, we do
not hesitate to say that this winter will be
one of discomfort, and that glorious summer
will not dispel the clouds that lower upon
our house.
What matters " the rise of Wise's stock "
the bubble may be pricked by the last
words of 1Ipnatic lean-witted fool P'-
another howl of Abolitionism, that will rise
upon the execution of John Brown, may
cause the FALL not only of Wise's stock"
but that of every law-loving law-abiding
man in the South Northern conservatism,
about which SO much is heard and so little
known, must show GAME and reveal the
power it SO long has boasted. We must
cease to compromise with abolitionism; it
must not sttempt to defeat Southern repre-
sentative men because they are representa-
tive men, and as such, distasteful to North
ern fanaticism. The South must know at
Charleston that devotion to her rights
and interests is no longer to be the reason
for Withholding honor from her sons.
