The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-01-05

We give this week, to the exclusion
of almost every thing else, the annual
message Of President Buchanan. 1t
was received and read in'the Senate
on Wednesday last, and laid on the
table in the House to await an organi-
zation ofthat body. The general tone
Of the Message is much more subdued
than formerly, and is distinguished
for its timidity rather than any thing
else.
Politically, it treats mainly of but
two subjects, slavery and fillibusterism.
The Harper's Ferry affair is of course
alluded to, but in such a manner as to
leave one in doubt as to whether he is
"hurt or tickled most" but thinks cit
will be the means of preventing future
outbreaks of this kind"
The President congratulates the
people on the " final settlement of the
slavery question, and then puts quie-
tus to the Douglas Popular Sovereign
ty dodge in most summary manner.
He declars that /" neither Congress, nor
the Territorial Legislature, nor any hu-
man power" can prevent the extension
of slavery in the Territories.
1t will be noticed that he is " still
harping on my daughter" on the &C.
QUESTION of Cuba, which he proposes
accomplish by fair means, of course.
HIS opinion in regard to this measure
remain unchanged, and he again in
vites the serious attention of Congress
to this important subject.
In regard to our relations with Mex
leo, the President repeats a request
which one Congress has already re-
fused, that the army and navy may be
placed at his service, to enable him to
to make war upon the Mexican people
at any time he chooses, which means,
as was announced the other day by
Democratic member of Congress, in
the course of disunion speech, that
Mexico was to be conquered and slave
States made out of it." This probably
tells the whole story of the Presidents
anxiety on this subject.
We shall take occasion hereafter to
notice the leading features of this doc
ument at greater length, and, in the
meantime, we ask for it from our read
ers careful perusal.

Congress.

More than four weeks of this session
of the 35:h Congress have now been
FILTERED away in nonsensical "agita-
ton" of the Slavery question, by the
Southern disunionists and their North
ern Democratic allies, and the pros
poets of the election of Speaker and
the organization of the House, are no
better now than they were on the first
day of the session.
We believe there is only one meth l.
cd to be adopted whereby an organic
alton can be expected, and that is by
the. adoption of the plurality rule.
which will result in placing MIR. Sher-
man, who only lacks four votes of an
election, in the Speakers Chair, as was
the case at the time Mr.. Banks was cleo
ted. All other schemes and plans are
impracticable, and will result in moth
ing as has been fully proved by the
abortive and ridiculous effort of the
Democracy thus far to form coalitions
with the Southern Know Nothings,
against the Republicans.
How long this damaging and dis
graceful delay will be preserved in by
the minority, it is impossible to predict.
The Administration has the power to
bring the troubles to an end at any
moment, but, out of mere guilty fear,
refuses to exercise its influence.
This delay, waste of time and sacri-
Zee of the public interests, it should be
universally understood, are attributable
to the Democracy, who, not from any
fears as to the safety of the Union, or
anything of the kind, but from we'll
grounded fear that if the Republicans
secure the organization of the House,
the rottenness in the Democratic Den
mark of the Capital will be investigat-
ed and exposed, are determined rather
to ''let the Union slide" and to let the
interests of the country go by default,
than to give the Republicans control of
the committees.

s.AoAA SnvAu6 &NCCsAH8os
There is not man in the Republi-
can party who desires dissolution OF
the Union, or who, were an attempt
made to dissolve it, would not rally to
It's rescue. And yet the hypocritical
time-servers who are holding Union
meetings." at the North illuminate their
accusations of disunio,s against the Re-
publicans.,
The Democrats in Congress and at
the South are the only men who have
threatened to dissolve the Union, and
yet these Northern Union-saving meet
ings have nothing but praise and admit
ration for these traitors and outspoken
disunionists.
This Union-saving business is to be
engaged in by spoils hunting, spineless
democrats and such fossile remains of
dead and decaying parties as they can
bring to their aid. In New York the
leading actors in these meetings are
dealers in French Satins and home
made Madeira. These meetings are
not as some might suppose-entirely
harmless in their character. First,
they do not represent public sentiment
at the North-a fact well known to in
telligent Southern men. They know
we'll that the northern people are not
made of such kind of Timber Jacks"
as make up the staple of Unionsaying
meetings. They do not need to DE in
formed that they scarcely exceed in
number and Importance the Abolition
lists headed by Wendell Phillips.
They know that these men are not au-
thorized to speak for the North, and
therefore give to the South no idea of
Northern sentiment But these Union
Savers not only fail to represent the
Northern people, but positively mis-
represent them, and thus promote the
alarm which it is their protested de-
sign to allay. They virtually tell the
South that they and the species or
class to which they alone, of all the
North, are still faithful to the Consti-
tuition and the Union-that the Repub-
lican party is composed of Traitors to
the Union and the enemies to the
South whereas, aside from the few
Garrisonians they, from their compiled
ty with disunionists, are the only Nor
thern men not above suspicion.
On the other hand, true Republicans
with well-formed back bones, are firm
in their determination that they not
only will not destroy the Union them
selves, but that they will not permit
protested disunionists to do anything
of the kind.
So far, therefore, as these misrepre-
sensations by democratic Union meet
ings are credited at the South they ag-
gravate Southern sentiment and in
crease the danger of dissolution if
danger exists. If the democratic
leaders and paupers in the free States
really desire to calm and reassure the
South, all they have to do is to confess
their past falsehoods in relation to the
Republican party, and begin to tell the
simple truth. Whether they do this
or not, there are indications that the
time is not distant when Southern
men will see and acknowledge that
their worst enemies have been those
who have falsely played upon their
fears for partizan ends.
