There is a true view Of the difficulty
bet ween the North and the South on
he slavery question which we would
that the honest people of the South
we'll understood Could they see the
state of things as it actually exists
and could influential Southerncrs see
where the blame of the animosity be-
tween the sections Of the Union main
ly lies. ~e. apprehend That speedy
return of fraternal feelings might be-
expected.
We fave at the North handful Of
kbolitionIsts, rat I'd fntermeddlers in
other mems affairs. Politically they
areof no consequence. They rare
y, fever. elect their candidates, and
# let alone would die out or soon be-
come of even less consequence than
ut present. They bear TO proportion
10 she bulk of tbc population and
gain nothing in numb crs. or compare
lively nothing, year by year. Local
causes sometimes conspire to swell
che vote for one of their candidates
for once, but the real number Of the
simon. purs .Abolitionisis remain
about the same. Occupying for the
most part obscure rural districts. where
contact with the living, moving world
is limited, the chances of modifying
their opinions are small. The leaders
who enjoy an acquaintance With man.
Kind at large are strongly attached to
theory to the exclusion Of practice.
They are aSrasked with bitterness and
arouecl,hey seek for arguments to use
and in time become adroit in the use of
ihose"glittering generalities" found in
rhe Declaration of Independence
They become powerful orators among
theorists and theoretical philanthro-
pists. These few men, Democratic
presses in t be interests ofthe South en-
aeayor to make the type of the people
efthe entire North. The free States are
held responsible for their existence
The North and her people are reviled
and abused fos allowing them to live.
Southern BULLDOGS, bark over the
clothes Inc at every body who has
not Bateher-knife in his hand and
sworn TO exterminate the fanatics. A
fellow feeling arouses the puppies OF
the North to yelp in concert. So long
as this state of affairs continues the
irrepressable conflict must 60 on. So
hong as the Democracy of the South
persist in stigmatizing the majority Of
the Northern people as enemies to
Southern institutions, and cause the
South to believe and actupon The i'm
preston thus created, there never can
be concord in the Uuion.
TIE time was when the demands
of the South for the determination Of
northern fanatics we're eomplied with.
We remember When VIM. Lloyd Gar
rison was dragged through the streets
of Boston with halter about his neck,
when Beriah Green was mobbed in
tho streets of Urea, when Lovejoy
was murdered at A lton. and when
Pennsylvania Hall was burned to se-
cure peace in the American family
and please tile South. Did the reme-
dy ansxsra No; the more the Abe&
iitionist were oppressed. fhs more
they multiplied. The North learned
a lesson-that force cannot overcome
error-that abuse is not a sovereign
panacea for false opinions. She ceas-
ed prosecutions, and fanatacism with
cred for want of its proper stimulus.
Peace was returning to the sisterhood
Of States in spite Of the barking of
Southern bulldogs. The compro-
mise measures of 1850 produced some
commotion but even the fugitive slave
hw was aequieseed in by large ma
jority oftRe North. But in an evil
hour, in time Of quiet, without eause,
when wise craftsmanship should Rave
foreseen the consequences, the Dem
ocrarie party opened the flood gates
of strife by the repeal oft Missouri
Compromise. and now stands howling
in terror at the storm it has produced.
Like the bear in the mill, it has lifted
the gate and knows no way of stopp-
ing the machinery but by hugging
the saw.
