A dav or two ago printed an extract
from an article written by the redoubtatle
JAMES WATSON WEBB, for his paper, the New York
Courier and Enquirer in which the most outrageous
and insulting threats are hurled at the Southern
States. Our object in printing such articles / to
show the minus of the Black Republicans towards
the South The Courier and Enquirer is one of the
leading organs of that party in the great State of
New York and it is due to the Southern people that
they should know the spirit that acuaes the leaders
of a party that has endeavored to establish a sec
tional rule over them, in order that they may act
5 understandingly.
Occasionally we read in the Northern papers
badly concealed attempt at Cancellation and policy,
by declarations that the Republican party desire to
protect the rights of the slayeholdng States. If
such declarations were not on their face hypocriti
cal, in view of the volumes of calumny and denun-
citation that have been INDUCED in by their orators
and speakers, they betray their own lnsincerity by
the Interpretation their own authors never fail to
give to their own words.
Senator TRUNBULL tells that Mr.. LINCOLN will
protect the rights Of the Southern States How can
any man of common sense trust such general
promise, when it is known that Mr.. LINCOLN was
elected by party avowedy hostile to the interests
ana Ol luOSG AS uON pAOAiAsSS pAOeSSA-
When Mr.. LINCOLN himself has said, in the most
emphatic language, that this Union cannot perma-
nently remain half slave and bave free, and that
house divided against itself cannot stand. Protec
ton, indeed! Such protection vultures give to
lambs
No tyrant ever enforced his DEGREES without en-
deavorng to exact his tyranny to the plea of right
The British Government, in the American Revolu-
ton, claimed to be the Protector of the colonies.
The same Government now claims to be the Protec-
tor Of ireland. Austria but the Protector Of
Hungary when she murdered her citizens by thou
sands and when her brutal and bloody hangman led
her most patriotic citizens to the gallows. What
tyrant ever dared to proclaim his despotic and
unriglIUeous purposes towards his victims? OF all
the apologies that have been made for Mr.. LINCOLN
and his party none so insulting, both to the man
hood and the intelligence of the South as the paltry
pretence that he intends to project her constitutional
rights-that he, the chosen chief of hostile and
sectional party is the best friend she has ever had
the chair Of GEoRGEW WASHINGTON ANDREW JACKSON and
THoMS JEFFERSON. And what are the constitutional
rights of the South Mr. LINCOLN and hsparty I'M
dcrstand them. Aye, there's rub - They may be
found in the Chicago platform, in LINCoINs various
speeches in the speeches of SUMNER, WILSON and
Hale, in the editorials of GREELEY, WEBB, RAYMOND,
and long JOIN WENTWORTH. Is there any portion of
the people of the South, who such fools as to be
deceived by such soft, unmeaning words as these
If so, let them read and learn. The following
raving gasconade is taken from the Chicago DanO-
crat edited by WENTWORTH. We do not believe that
all the Republicans endorse his open expression Of
these views uOc Many of them may not endorse
them at all But WENTWORTH has more influence
than CoRwN, and therefore think the larger por-
ton Of the party is with him:
Thus the people Of the free North say to the
slave oligarchy, We Will endure your insolence
suffer your tyranny bear with your assumptions,
no longer, We have listened TO your threats, as in
sutmg as they were cowardly, Of what you would
do if We dared 70 carry out convictions of right,
at the ballot box and elect lrhO 1rJld not 6OJU
the 1lee to yO and 1cbo c0,d place yO'T GccTSed IN
.hfion Of sldueT7 JcEere the public mind 1Codd rest IN
the belief that Il loo,ld become finally CrtiHct. You
have sworn that if we dared to elect such a man
Won would dissolve the Union. We have elected
him and now we want you to try your little game
Of secession. DO it, if you dare! 80 long as you
remain in the Union, peaceably and decenty, you
shall enjoy your constitutional rights. But every
man of you who attempts to subvert tins Union
which we prize so dearly, will be hung as high as
Hannah We viii have no foOlIng about the matter!
By THE ETERNAL THE UNION MUST BE PRESERVED
such is the lecture read by the people OF the
North to their Southern brethren on Tuesday. And
now what viii the chivalry do about IT.
