SUBMISSION


=, 10 showthat the pictures Of ruin an
= desolation TO the South, which th
:, submi,sionists TO Black Republica
: domination were 50 continual
= drawing, to fright us from ou
). propriety," Were unreal and false
We propose now to reverse the pic
: turo, and to show what will prOba
: bly be tho consequence of n sub
mission of the Southern States, 4
the rule of Abolitionism at Wash
ington, in the persons of Messrs
Lincoln aud Hamlin, should tael
be elected ~ the Presidency an,
Vice Presidency ofthe United Sta ;.
i. The first effect of tho subm
sion of the South TO the mstallatiol
of Abolitionists in the offices ofPrcs
idcnt and Vice President of tn
United States, must be n poweriu
consolidation of the strength of tn.
Abolition party at the North, Sue,
cess generally Strengthens, II, af'
terall the threats of resistance and
disunion, made inCongress and out
of Congress, the Southern States sink
down into acquicsccncc, the demo-
ralization ofthc South will DO com,
plcte. Add the patronage resulting
from the control of ninety-four
thousand offices and the expenditure
of eighty millions of money annual
ly, and they must be irresistible in
controlling the General Government.
2. To plumber the South for the
benefit of the North, by new protcc-
tive tariff, will be one of their first
measures of Northern sectional do
minion and, on the other hand, to
exhaust the treasury by sectional
schemes Of appreciation, will be q
congenial policy.
3. Immediate danger VII be
brought to slavery in all the frontier
States. When party is enthroned
at Washington in the. Executive
and Legislative departments, OF the
Government, whose creed it is to re-
peal the Fugitive Slave laws, the
underground railroad will become
an ovcrground railroad. The ten
urc of slave property will be felt to
be weakened, and the slaves will be
sent down to the cotton States for
sale, and the frontier States enter
on the policy Of making themselves
free States.
4. With the control of the Gov
crnment Of the United States, and
an organized and triumphant North
to sustain them, the .Abolitionists
will renew their operations upon
the South with increased courage
The thousands in every country,
who lcol< up to power, and make
gain out of the future, will come out
in support of tho Abolition Govern
ment. The Brownlows and the
Bolts in the South will multiply
They will organize, and from beinga
Union party, to support an Aboli-
ton Government, they will become,
like the Government they support,
Abolitionists. They will have gan
Abolition party in the South, of
Southern men. The contest for
slavery will no longer be one be-
tween the North and the South. 1t
will be in the South, between the
people of the South,
5. If, in our present position of
power and unitedness, we have the
raid of John Brown-and twenty
towns burned down in Texas in one
year, by Abolitionists--what will
be the measures Of insurrection and
incendiaryism which must follow
our notorious and abiect prostration
to Abolition rule at Washington,
with all the patronage of the Fed
eral Government, and a Uuion or
ganization in the South to support
it? Secret conspiracy, and its at
tendant horrors, with rumors of hor
rors, will hover over every portion
of the South; while, in the language
of the Black Republican patriarch
-Giddings-they twill laugh at
your calamities and mock when
your fear cometh.
6. Already there is uneasiness
throughout the South as to the sta
bility of its institution of slavery
But with submission to the rule
of Abolitionists at Washington, thou
sands of Shareholders will despair
of the institution. While the con-
dition of things in the frontier
States will force their slaves on tho
markets of the cotton States, the
timid in the cotton States will also
sell their slaves. The general dis
trust must affect purchasers. The
consequence must be, slave proper
ty must be generally appreciated
We see advertisements for the sale
of slaves in some Of the cotton States
for the simple object Of getting rid |
of them; and we know that stand
ing orders for the purchase Of slaves
in this market have been withdrawn,
on account of an anticipated decline |
of value from the political condition
of the country.
Z. We suppose that, taking in
view all these things, it is not ex-
travagant to estimate that the sub
mission of the South to the admin
istration Of the Federal Government |
under Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin,
must reduce the value in the South,
one hundred dollars each. 1t is
computed that there are four million
three hundred thousand slaves in
the United States. Here therefore
is a loss to the Southern people Of
four hundred and thirty millions of
dollars. on their slaves alone. OIL
