The Council Bluffs nonpareil., 1860-09-15

within ito Jurisdiction. The great fact
is now fully realised that the African
race hsss 10 . foreign and feeble sie-
nepts, like the lndiass, incapable Of es-
similstion, bst not the less, therefore, enti-
tied to such care and protection - the weak
every whore may require from the stsse8
that it Is pitiful exotic, unwisely and un-
necessarily transplanted into osr 6eids, and
which it 10 Improbable to cultivate at the
cost Of the dcsolation Of the native vine-
yard.
Nor will the argument thai tho party Of
slavery Is national and that of freedom sec-
tional, any longer avail when il is fully un-
derstood that 90 far as il 10 founded in truth,
it is only result Of that pervefsion Of the
constitution which has attempted 10 cifcus.
scribe freedom and make slavery universal
throughout the Republic. Equally do the
reproaches, invectives and sat'res OF the
advocates Of slavery extension fail. since Il
is seen and felt that truth, reason and hu-
manisy can work right on without fanaticism
and bear contumciy without retaliation. l
counsel this course farther, because the
combinations Of slavery are broken up, and
can never be renewed with success. Any
new combination must be based on the prin.
cipie OF the Southern Democratic faction,
that slavery is inherently just and bene6cent,
and ought to be protected. which can no
longer be tolerated in the North; or else on
the principle Of the Northern Democratic
faction, that slavery is Indifferent aad un-
worthy Of Federal protection, which is insult
ficient in the South, while the national mind
has actually passed far beyond both Of these
principles, and 10 settled in the conviction
that slavery, wherever and howsoever il
exists, exists only to be regretted aud de-
plored. counsel this course farther, be-
cause the necessity for return to the old
national way has become at last absolute |
and imperative. We can extend slavery
into new Territories and create new Slave
States only by rc-opening the African slave
trade; a proceeding which, by destroying
all the existing values Of the slaves now
held in the country, and their increase,
would bring the North and the South into
complete unanimity in favor Of that return.
WHAT LINCOLN WILL DO.
Finally, counsel that return because
states man has been designated who
possesses, in an eminent and most satisfac-
tory degree, the virtues and the qualifca-
tions necessary for the leader in so great
and generous movement; and | feel well
assured that Abraham Lincoln will not fail
to re.inaucurate the ancicn. constitutional
policy in the administration Of the govern
ment successfully; because the Republican
party, after ample experience; has at last
acquired the courage and the constancv ne
ccssary to sustain him. and because ! am
satisfied that the people. ut last fully con-
vinced Of the wisd, IN and necessity ef tic
proposed reformation, are prepared to sus-
tain and give it eff CT.
But when it shall have been accomplished
what may wc expect then; what dangers
must we incur: what disasters and calam'
ties must we suffer-? answer no dangers,
disasters or calamitics. All parties VIII ac
quiescc, because it will he the net cf the
people, in the exercise Of their sovereign
power. in conformity vi h the constitution
and laws, and in harmony with the eternal
principles Of justice. and tho ben!cnant
spirit Of the age in which we live. All par
ties and all sections will alike rejoice in the
settlement Of controversy. which has nsi
tated the country and disturbed its peace 50
long. We shall regain :hc respect md good
will Of the Nations, and once more consis.
tent with our principles, and with cur an
ciens character, We shall, with their free
consent, take our places Mt their head. in
their advancing progress, towards higher
and more happy. because more humane and
more genial civilization.
