A Washington correspondent OF the MIS-
souri, Republican says:
Every voice from the South but tends to
swell the dismal cry OF secession and dis
union, That which, a few months ago, was
charged by Senator Douglas as being the
secret purpose of the seceders at the Charles
/ ton Convention, but which vas thea most
| vehemently denied By them, lie noU publicly
admitted to be so and that Union which oil
patriots have been taught TO love 10 70 Dc
shattered Mt the behests OF those Southern
National Democrats, against whom the
Charleston Convention, and the whole coun-
try, we're warned in vain.
Thus it will be seen that dsupion was the
aim and object Of the National Democracy
o. the South when its delegates seeded from
The Charleston Convention. The Douglas
Democracy would not back down nor sur
render, in view Of threats to divide the Dem
ocratic party, but the majority persisted and
nominated Douglas.
Now, in pursuance Of the plan naugurated
by the seceders at Charleston, these same
y
National Democrats propose to dissolve the
Union OF the States. They broke up the
Democratic party because Douglas, the 70.
vorite champion OF the majority OF the party,
opposed Lecompton and Slave Code. And
in pursuance OF their settled plan FOR dis
union, they now propose to sunder the Union
because Lincoln, the President elect, is, like
Washington and Jefferson, opposed to the
extension Of Slavery.
II was upon the nomination Of Douglas
for the Presidency that the programme and
first steps toward disunion were made, and
Mr.. Lincoln is no more responsible for the
disunion furry than is Senator Douglas
The success of the latter 10 the Convention
furnished the occasion for the early move
ments of the disnnionists, and the success
of the former before the people is made the
pretence for the final effort for the dissolu
ton Of the Union. The people have quite
a. good right to elect Lincoln in spite OF the
disnnionists, as the Democratic Convention
had to nominate Douglas. And there is no
more reason why the people who elected
Lincoln should quail and back down in view
OF the threats OF the secessionists, than
there was for the Douglas Democracy to sur
render to them. Dsuglas' principles are
not whit more satisfactory to the secession
ists than L;ncoIn'e, and they fought him
with Just as much bitterness before the DEM
ocrAtic Convention az they now evince
against Lincoln as President elect. Rule or
ruin was their motto then, and ii is their de-
| termination now. Resistance to their aicta-
| ton severed and defeated the Democrats
| party, and like resistance now may sever the
Union. But in any event We prefer to fol-
low the exampleof the Douglas Democracy,
and stand by our principles, trusting the re-
| suit to that Providence which has hitherto
watched over, and will still continue to d.
rect cur destinies es a people, for the ac-
/ commandment Of His eun wise PURPOSES
