| DIsUNIoNIsM. - In his speech at New
Orleans, last week, Mr.. Douglas, abiding to
! the election of Mr. Lincoln, spoke of him
always as an Abolitionist. This is the kind
of oil which the Democratic party of the North
has always poured upon the troubled waters
of sectionalism. To-day, while alarmed with
the prospects of serious trouble, amounting,
| it may be, to disunion, the Democratic party
of the North, which is responsible for the
excitement and danger. madly and criminaly
persists in its calunnies concerning the Re-
publcans, and is adding fuel to the flames
which it has ignted. Senator Douglas,
standing among the men who, acting under
false impressions as to the aims and objects
of the Republican party, are intiamed with a
quiet the storm Of disunion by Performing a
simple act of justice toward the Republican
party and toward an old acquaintance and
friend, whom he knows to be as honest and
true patriot as ever lived, deliberately con
tributes to the disunion tarore by maligning
and disappearing the character of both.
Until the Democrats of The Northern States
cease their attempts to give a sectional and
fanatical reputa ion at the South to the Re-
publican party, they must not only be held
responsible for the disunion excitement and
its results, but they must be classed as allies
of tn traitors. If they are, as they profess
to be, alarmed for the safety of the Union, let
them commence at once to remove the danger
not by endeavoring to pull down the Repub-
lican partyi in the Northern States by attaching
to it responsibilities connected with disuuion
which never have and never can belong to it,
nor by destroying its moral power at the
South by exaggeration and falsehoods calcu
lated to excite passion and retaliation, but let
them treat the Republican party and its prin-
ciples truthfully and impartialIy. Let them
disabuse the people of the South of the false |
Impressions which they have imbibed con-
corning the designs of the Republican party
If they are patriots, if they really desire peace
and harmony, they will lose 70 time in quell-
ing the present ex itement. The cry of
" Abolitionists and Negro Equality" is
becoming criminal as we'll as foolish.-Peeria

A FAIR HlT.-The South Carolina fuss
makers already begin to talk about not being
coerced to stay in the Union. The "fear !"
probably grows out of desire. This anxiety
to be coerced is of the same kind as the strict
propriety of the single Kentucky female. who
had single beau. After sitting up long
time, at a respectful distance, she suddenly
squawked out, ,"Quit seueezin' mep Tho
startled Kentuckian exclaimed, az hain't
touched you" "Well," said she, "you're
going to, amt your" SD.

The MASSACHUSETTS PERSONAL LIBERTY
LAw.-The Springfield Republican says the
present Personal Liberty Bill of that State
was passed by the Legislature of 1856, over
Gov. Gardeners veto. An act to repeal it was
in progress the next year, and on test vote
had majority of fifteen in the House, when
the news Of Brooks assault on Sumner
arrived, ard the repeal was defeated. In
1858, several sections of the act were repealed
by suggestion of Gov. Banks, and it is from
these repealed sections that Gov. Brown, of
Georgia, quotes as evidence of the notification
of the Constitution by Massachusetts.
New York, Indiana and Iowa never passed
personal liberty laws; so that the complaint
ofthe South against these States is unfounded.

Messenger, published at Hyannis, Mass, by

Who IL Responsible z

1t the existing panic and tightness in the
money market is owing to the dissatisfaction
Of the Southern people with the election Of
Lincoln, we think it will be found, upon
examination, that Democratic orators and
presses are blameable for the difficulty. They
have studiously misrepresented to Southern
hearers and readers the Republican party and
the people of the North As " Abolitionists,"
warning against the South, instead of peace
ably and fraternally bearing testimony against
slavery As an evil which ought not to be ex.
tended over the Territories. We instanced, q
few days ago, the fact that Iowa has been
published all over the South as one of the
States having law to punish with fine and
imprisonment any person who shall assist in
the return of fugitive slave. Indiana is
placed in the same category, as also other
States which never contemplated the passage
Of an act of that nature. Such misrepre-
sensations inhame the Southern mind and
fan to blaze the spirit of disunion so long
rife in that section. The misrepresentation
Of the recent Kansas difficulty will have q
tendency to revive this unfortunate state Of
feeling. We observe in the Davenport Dem
oerat, (Which, by-the-way, has the sordid.
ness to speak of the recent decline in stocks
and grain as the cost of Lincoln's election,
the following statement:
Taking advantage Of the starvation cry
in Kansas, the willing tools of Black Repub
icanism have travelled through the East anG
the North, and under the garb of sweet char
ity-under the pretense of soliciting supplies
of food to protect the vitals Of men, of thei,
wives and their innocent, suffering children
from the sharp fangs Of famine and death by
hunger-have collected unerring rifles, vii
famous gunpowder, murderous revolvers and
keen bowie-knives, to place in the hands o.
mon OF their own persuasion, to murder theil
fellow-men."
Now when such statements as these ART
believed by the people Of the South, is it
wonder their fears are excited and thel
enmity aroused to the point of declaring wa
against the North? At this time, whel
these same Northern Democratic Journal
and politicians are laboring to throw tn
responsibility Of the present troubles upo,
the Republican party, it is we'll enough tina
the public should reflect and enlighten them
selves as to who is really responsible.
