B6y We have been asked what we viii do
should the Black Republicans nominate candidate
of their own for The Presidency, and the democrats
nominate Douglass and accompanying the ques-
ton liz reminder that the Harpers Ferry outbreak
must force the Opposition Of the South into the
arms Of democracy. We answer that If the OPP
position have no candidate, We shall let the Re-
publicans aud democrats fight Il out--not careing
q fred" which whips Douglass is no better than
Seward, and Seward is no better than Douglass
The election of the former may save the Union by
forcing settlement Of the slavery question: at once
and forever, whilst the election Of the latter win
further cripple and enslave the South and drive
to disunion the last hope Of preserving rights
against treason at home and aggression from the
North. We can not be forced to vote for Black
Republican but could we be forced to choose be-
tween one and a democrat we would prefer bold
and opon enemy in the North, to treacherous
pretended friend in our own camp. This Is our
answer, and we care not who knows it.

B6- 0ssawottome Brown has warned the South
that whatever may be his fate, the day Of reckon
ing Is at hand. The warning should be needed, so
far, at least, as to make signal examples of him
and his accomplices; and we hope southern
democrats will far heed it az to let the subject Of
slavery rest They now clearly see the tendency of
lie ceaseess agitation and the concessions they are
making to its northern enemies, in every Prcsiden-
tial election and for the paltry consideration of
share Of the spoiIs If slavery is to be the wedge
to split the Union, let the North drive 1t home,
whilst Il e South, standing quietly but firmly upon
It's rights, secures all the advantages Of justice on
IT, side and wrong on the side of its aggressors-
This course is far more manly and honorable than
the contemplate squabbling kept up by demagogues
for their own selfish ends. Let the subject alone
10 the South, and the North will see at once that
we are not TO be trihed with, and seeing it will lei
It alone, too.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1859-10-28

eas- 1t is gratifying to mark the tone Of the
northern press on the subject of the Harpers Ferry
and the boldness with which some of
the papers assign as the cause the "irrepressible
conflict doctrine promulgated by Seward. The
effect of this murderous conspiracy against the lives
and property Of the people of the South must be to
drive from the Republican ranks every conservative
man, consign Seward to the infamy he merits, or
in failing to do this hasten dissolution of the
Union. A continuance of the anti-slavcry aggres-
sion on the part of the North after such nantes
aon of its legitimate effects can have but one
sult-a conviction in the South that il has nothing
to hope from the justice of the NORTH and that fl is
safer and wiser to make its people foreign enemies
than to fight them as citizens of common govern
ment. The South, through the democratic party,
has yielded to the North every constitutional
and Judicial guarantee for the preservation Of our
rights and now that force is inaugurated to con-
summate what has been begun by moral treason,
the North must recede from its hostile position,
the South must take its stand as an independent
nation and enforce non-interventoh at the point Of
the bayonet. We trust, however that such an al
tentative will not be presented, and that conserva-
tism, of both sections, will at apply the remedy
to the startling evil impending over the Union
Down with the demagogues who make slavery the
sole issue, and up with the patriot statesmen who
are ready to legislate for the white man, and adj
minister the government for the common good OF
both sections Exclude from the Halls of Con-
gress every slavery agitator treat with silent
contempt the fanatics of both sections ghdicate the
majesty of the law by enforcing its provisions
maintain the Constitution invioiate, and then we
shall have peace, prosperity and kindly feelings
the one for the other. The great body of the peo.
Pile North and South, earnestly desire this state Of
things and the only obstacle to its early and lasting
attainment Is thrown in the way by aspiring poiit
clans who like ahcleab particles, easier rise &c
the surface Of fermenting mass thar work theil
way upward by merit when the political elements
are cam-the public judgement unbiased by pas
sion and prejudice. Rebuke Seward and his "irre
pressible conflict" throw overheard Douglass ant
his squatter sovregutyi come back to the Consti
tuition with its guarantees Of protection TO southern
rights and all will be well. To do these things
the people must act for themselves, and no longe
follow blindly the corrupt leaders Of party. They
must epudiate caucus nominees, and select tbei
own eandidates--not from among brawlng denaE
gogucs but from among those whose public services
ong-tried fidelity, and wise conservatism poiiS
them out as safe repositories OF political power
Do ths--we repeat-asd all will be well neglec
H. and a fool can foreGee the disastrous conseuue
noes.
