Southern seoessionists and their North
ern Allies.


II is a fact in our political history, that there
.xists strong affinity between the secession
SITS Of the South, and he Democratic party at
he north. Originally, they are brethern Of
he same political parity national Democratic
conventions, have repeatedly resolved, that
he party north and the party south, are one
and the same. The Democratic party north,
las in years past been teaching its breatheIn
south. that the Republican organization, was
specifically designed to procure the overthrow
their institutions and set free their slave popuN
la.ion. These northern teachings, have been
go long and so faithfully persisted in, that it Is
not strange they have been widely accepted in
The south. And now since some cf the states
Of the south are acting upon The presumption.
that tho north is about to interfere under the
incoming Administrations with their internal
affairs, what have the u+thern Democracy to
.ayl DO they give couutananeo to the disunloa
movements ofthe South?
The tone Of the Democrot.cj oumals noTthn-
dicatcs fully where the sympa.hies Of The par
ty ore. It is true but few northern Democrats
openly approve Of secession, nevertheless they
continually magnify the grievances ofthe south,
and profess to believe that southern rights have
been most unwaraptly invaded Indeed mos.
of cur northern Democratic papers profess to
believe, that there Is a good cause iorsoeossi2",
and iy constant repetition Of tho charge Oh
Republican aggression, encourage the treason
able projects Of the south. The northern Dom
ocracy therefore, having first succeeded j..
placing the Republican party in false position
before its Democratic southern allies, now pom
ders over tue dismjon sentiment, by pretend
ing Republicans have been guilty ola great
wrong, in not electing pro slavery President
All these matters of history teach, that the
modern Democracy in the northern states, has
become as thoroughly pro slryery rs IN th'
south Republicans have declared against sla
very extension, whereat the northern Democ
racy are greatly exercised and distressed, ano
affect to believe South Carolina and othel
States. have cause to be offended and feel insult
ed. The practical teaching Of the modcra de
mocracy--both south and north-comes to Thu
one conclusion; spread Slavery far and wide, an'
the Union will stand imprcgnablci otherwise sla
very, and the Union loses its Vitality, become
weakened and liable TO fall into decay hea'
the Democratic journals Of Wisconsin, or otan.
, other northern State, and see if this be not th
the legitimate CONCLUSIONS for what do the.
charge as the cause Of our National difficulties
! excep. that freedom has had the audacity +
vindicate its superiority slavery The burden
of the Democratic amentation is, that tho inter
ests Of Slavery have been iuiringod upon, an
its design Of expansion defeated. What 9th
er construction can possibly be put upon tn
: complaiuinss and iault-Gndiugs, with which th
columns Of the pro-slavery journals, both nortl
and south, arc burdoned2 Secession at tn
South, finds its natural allies in the Democrati
party,
1t is a fact not to be lost sight Of that ever
threat Of dissolution, during the past fey
years has come from the Democratic side. Dr.
ring the session Of Congress previous to the pres
ent, hardly day passed on which disunion sen
timents were not uttered. The journals {
/ Congress fail to show single Instance, wher
any Republican uttered language Of disloyalt
to the Union. The men in Congress now, VIII
encourage the breaking up Of the Union are a
Democrats; the same is true Of men out ofCon
gress-they claim to belong to the same politi
cal faith.
