More Slave State Home Truths

The st. Louis Evening News" pub
lisbed in Slave State. which, thanks to
fearless independent press and such pa-
triots as Frank Blair, Edward Bates, and
Grs,z Brown, is fast becoming Free, ut
tero the following startling and warning
truths in the ears of the Saveholding and
Slave supporting Democratic journals
South and North. Let Northern Dough-
faces OF all political professions "read and
Iinwardly digest"
The MADNESS CT DEMOCRATIC ORGANS
-s5owING THE SEEDS OF lEsURRECTIoN.--
Tie insanity of Old Brown in suppo ing
that with nineteen VIII lie men anG five ne
gloeS he could overthrow the United
States Government, liberale all the slaves
in the South, and establish Provisional
Government, with himself and cabinel
of equal fanatics at the head of affairs,
was desperate beyond all human expert
ence. But dep o'able and desperate as his
folly was, ii is even exceIled by the foolish
madness of the Editors of those journals
| published N the sta0e.holding St0tes that
are uying TO make it appear that the Re
publican party the country is RESPONSE
ble for Old B.own's deeds, and that they
sympa hize with the failure of his mur-
derous aims!
AS we observed, the other day, the Re-
publican party polled in the late Presiden-
tlal campaign over 300, 600 votes. The
party has steadily increased since, and
would now, no doubt, poll 100000
votes. IT. is unquestionable; and the re-
turns to the next Congress indicate it,
that every Free State in the Union, save
two or thee, has sided irrevocsbIy with
the Republican party, and there is no eJb
to The tide that bears public sentiment IN Tie
Free Stat s toao"rd The principles Of the
Republican party, the oniy ole of whtch
affecting Slavery is tkat ii shall not be
extended into Ierrit0r,es or Suites already
free.
Not single organ of the Republican
party has yet Jailed to condemn and exc
craze the reasonable madness of Old
Brown. No member OF the Republican
| party, from cne end of the Union TO the
other, has spoken word of sympathy for
his mulderous designs. Such being the
fact, potent TO all men, we ask, what but
the most amazing madness on the part OF
Southern paltIzans and Southern newspa-
pers, can lead them TO charge the RDpub-
] lican party Of the country. and its million
and half voters, with the horrible crimes
of in direction, treason, rape, arson and
,,mard rs Does not every member of the
Republican party know in his heart, that
this charge is an accursed lie; and will
the million and half voters of iha. party
be SO complsisant as to change their poll
tics or quit voting because of these base
libels on their character by Democratic
parilzan prints? We know better than
this. The world knows better. And the
result will prove that party when aggra-
vated by insult and contumely is rendered
far more formidable than when lulled to
pc scefulness by the just dealings Of an
honorable and generous adversary.
What will be the end of these insane
I iDels, circulated tnroeSh tne SiaVeholu-
ing States by Democratic prints? Why
this: They will not conven The Republi-
can party. They will not stay its present
triumphant march. They will not pre-
vent its ousting the National Democracy
from Federal power, and installing, we
trust, a conservative statesman like Bates
or Bel in tbs Presidency. But when this
happens, what shall we see in those slave
holding communities where the insane IL
bells of these Democratic prints have cir
culated? The newspapers will have told
the sldoes that the triumph of the Repub-
lican party viii be the signal of their de-
liverance from bondagel They will have
assured the servile race that the arms and
power Of the United States Government
will, in Republican hands, be used in then
