Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1859-10-26

AelrS VIII lOll the majority oi the JHl0t Olce re-
spOnsihie for the blood and the types for the crazy
negro would never have dared the attempt Of nsur
rectiOn but for the innamatory writings Of Major
Eastman ami the rest We believe the Union Office
would assist in hanging the crazy negro next
morning; and we believe an Overwhelming majority
of the Republican party even. would gladly help TO
hang Brown and his abettors.
Probably a majority Of the people who vote the
Republican ticket in elections would Ideprecato the
course of Brown in raising an instruction. and yet
that party is responsible for the late instruction,
because it sustains and elevates to Office men who
incucate violence against the institution of slavery
1t cannot be denied that the recent terrible events
Harper's Ferry stand in strict connection with the
whole teachings of the Republican party from the
commencement. \ long and steady incubation of
system of doctrines will infably lead to CORES
pending practice Out of enthusiastic teaching will
arise earnest belief and earnest belief is ncompat-
BILE with a mere quiescent abiding in the realms of
theory. During the FREMONT campaign, not only did
the Republican papers TEEN with incentives to sec
tiOnal anmOsity, but the Republican pdptS re-
sounded with bitter denuneiations of the South, and
eIhortatons reasonable disregard Of the sacred
compromises Of the Constitution. These teachings
eliminated in the incendiary Rochester speech of
WILLIAM II. SEWARD in which the co-existence of
slave and free labor in the United States was de-
clared impossible and the social constitutions of the
North and South proclaimed eternaIy and irrecon-
BILE forces, one of which must ultimately oxtingush
the other. so Incompatible are the two systems .

We propose still further to show the essential
character Of modem Republicanisn, and its Danger
Gus tendency, by quoting from weIl-known Republi-
can leaders and organs.
The first extract we shall give is the call for the
frat Republican National Convention:
+" Resolred, That we recommend that a convention
of delegates from the free SteS, equal in number to
their representatives in Congress respectively be
held at the city of Syracuse. on the Ith OF july
1856, 10 dominate candidates for the Presidency and
Vice PrsSdcrcy Of the United States for the next
Presidential election
H. Stewards VIEWS.
d" 1t slavery can and must be abolished
and you and must do it. ID" Correct your own
error that slavery has constitutional guarantees
which may not be released and ought not to be re

" There is really union now between the North
and South and he believed no two nations upon the
earth entertain feelings of more bitter to-
wards each other than these two nations Of the Re
public. The only salvation of the Union therefore
to be found in diyesting it entirely from all
faint OF slavery

When DENx,soN. the Republican candidate for
Governor. was at Middleton, Ohio, some little time
since he made use of the following language:
