This makes a pretty showing up to the
country Of Southern clanishncss and sec
tionalism. By cottoning and suglring to-
gether in Congress and Convention. the
South, by 4 unity of action, melted by 4
unity Of interests, have 50 far controlled
Presidents and party issues, as to put the
Democracy of the North, East and West
in false positions before the people. The
result has been to drive the Democrats
from the Free States out of Congress, not
being able to stand on Southern platforms
and cope with Northern OPPOSITION
Every man of the Southern thumb-screWs
upon the Northern Democracy has decinat-
cd their numbers. until now, so far as the
Democratic party is concerned. the South
have undisputed control in both branches
of Congress.
In invciglcing Old Buck into his Lc-
compton policy, the South would have bio
ted out the Democratic party North. but
for the powerful and timely interior
nee of Senator Douglas. As it was, it
made 4 slaughter-house Of the Free States,
carrying every one over to the enemy save
one, and that one was where the defiant
leader of the Northern Democracy resided
and carried on the campaign in person
against Buchanan, Black. and the Black
Rcpublicans-akiaS the World, the Flesh
and the ID.
1t tore down 4 towering Democratic
majority in the House. it has nearly oblit-
Grated the Democratic majority in the
Senate, a majority that has stood triumph
antly against all opposition for near fifty
years. Lecompton sent Senator Jones,
Senator Wright. Senator Shields, and Sen
ator Pugh into retirement, and substitut-
ed Black Republicans in their places. 1t
viii soon end the days Of Senator Bigler,
and Fitch; and viii leave Douglas
the last Democratic Senator in that body
all the Free States, the sole survivor
Of his race" No new Democratic Senator
can ever be elected from any Free State
who in any way. endorses that fatal meas
ure. Douglas is the last Commissioned on
the list, and if the present Southern dynas-
ty is to be perpctuated, in '64 he will be
the only Democratic Senator representing
ing portion Of this great Contederacy
Aorih Of Mdson and Uir0n'S Line. At
present the South have the President,
Vice-Presidcnt, and Cabinet. Does any
,ne doubt that? The South have a ma
iority of the Supreme Court. Docs any
one deny this? BY their late action in the
Senate they have the control Of our foreign
Relations, our Commerce, the Post Oii:e
Department. Territories, Naval Affairs.
Judiciary, &c.
And still, this same South arc threaten.
ne to dissolve the Union because they are
/ prosecuted people. The little State of
florida, which has not onc-half as many
-otcrs as Hamilton county, is honored with
he Craftsmanship of two Senatorial Com
Post Offices. and Naval Aflirs,
Ohio with more voters than Florida.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas
nd Georgia put together, has nothing
yet it is the South who are continually
against ~sectionalism.
oh that s"inA power ihs gilt woull give Us,
To See "ursrlve, ~ Others So us" q
1t is in vain to look to Congress for the
DIRECTION of this most glaring and most
evil. The Press and the People
lust apply the correction. The Charleston
convention is the tribunal before With
u~estions must come and be tried. There,
lie people who make Presidents, Cabinets J
nd Congressman. speak directly through
leir delegates. Let the country press, too,
lroughout the North-w west AM throughout Q
lc Free States, be heard on this subject, /
ID the sooner the better. Unless this t
.cti5nalisn is done away with. the DEM d
party might as well disband at once. v
he people Of the North Will stand no such a
lssalage as this. l
