Daily national Democrat., 1860-06-05
They will not be- supportet..

the Southi will be without avail, and the
people viii rally in the coming Presidential
campaign to the support Of the Democratic
principle Of noulnterv ention in the domes-
tic affairs OF States or Territories The Alb
olitionists will rave on in the North with no
more effect than heretofore, while the sece-
ders from the Charleston Convention will
meet with the same fate as those dIsorgan-
izers, from the Democratic ranks, who in
1850 undertook to lead off the Southern peo.
pie into the path of disunion, and were so
sigually overwhelmed at the polls. The
South is not ready for disunion, and those,
who urge it, most grossly misrepresent the
sentiments of the Southern people. The
raid of John Brown, in Virginia, has been
met with very little sympathy in the North,
considering the bulk of the population as
compared with that fanatical portion who
sing p@ans to his name. Nor is the sympa-
thy and fellow feeling with Sanborn, who
made such hero @ Of himself in resisting a
deputy of the United States Marshal, who
Harper's Ferry Committee of the Senate
very extensive. The greater portion of the
Northern people fully recognize the right ot
the Senate to require the presence of wit
ness before them, and, If he be contumacious
to order his arrest, because the Supreme
Court of the United States have decided
that the Senate has such power. They
laugh at the idea of Sanborn's making a
mock hero Of himself, by appearing in the
presence of an assemblage of fanatics, with
syIrbolieal manacles upon his wrists, and
reminding his auditors of the spirit which ac-
tuated the revolutionary fathers when they
declared that resistance to tyrants was ODE
dienee to God" as though his petty case had
any parallel with the grievances Of revolu-
tionary times They despise the man and
the occasion. Gov. Banks, of Massachusetts,
the strongest Republican State in the Union,
where negroes sit upon iuries with white
men, to try white men for their lives-res-
poets the Constitution of the United States
as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the
Union, and refuses to approve a bill of the
Massachusetts Legislature, providing for the
enrolment of negroes in the ranks of the
militia. Gov. Banks would have theSupreme
Court reconstructed by the appointment of
Republican Judges, but, until that time ar
rived, he would submit to the decisions of
the Court as the Supreme authority in the
Interpretation of constitutional questions
The feeling of the vast majority of the peo
pie of this Union is of obedience to the
Constitution of the country, as expounded by
its rightful interpreters. They will vote for
a true, conservative statesman, and no sec
tional man, standing upon a mere sectional
issue, can be elected President in the coming
campaign.
The next news that arrives from the South
erD States will show that the people have re.
pudiated the action of the seeding delegates
from the Charleston Convention, and elected
delegates in their place to proceed to Balti-
more and there represent the Southern De-
mocraey
Why, even in South Carolina, where the
name of John G. Calhoun is reverenced like
that of God, a large portion of the people
refuse to follow in the lead of the Yancev-
ties, who pretend to be the disciples of Cal
houn and the executors of his policy. A
portion of the delegation in the Charleston
Convention refused to retire with the seced-
ers. but remained and participated in its pro
ceedings. The fact is, they know we'll that
the Yanceyites go a great deal farther than
ever did John G. Calhoun. He was not for
violently overthrowing the Constitution of
the United States, but for peaceably remod-
cling it He believed that, under the Con-
stitution, as now existing, the rights of South
were not sufficiently protected and the only
remedy, in his view, was to change the Con-
stitution. He advised the South therefore to
contend for dual Presidency-for a form of
Government in which the Free States would
be represented by one Executive and the
Slave States by another, the consent of both
being necessary to give validity to any Con-
gressional enactment The Yanceyites are
contending for no such thing, but demanding
a violent construction of the Constitution ac-
eording to their own Interpretation, with
threats of disunion, if that construction is
not conceded.
The Disunionists, both North and South,
will be thrown overheard, and the ship of
State sail on, with the flag of the Union at
her masthead
