The Atlanta (Ga.) Southern Confederacy,
one Of the chief organs Of the Dou(1nsites in
Georgia, and edited BY are eating disunion-
list like Herschcl V. Johscn, gives the fol-
lowing reasons for supporting the Douglas
ticket:
/. Because the Union must be preserved
by electing him, but not BY the choice Of ann
other man. The pretence 10 too transparent
to afford even decent disguise for . rank
sdisunionist.- We give the exact language
used by this " Southern Confederacy'' news
papsr-ths very name Of which b s;eniAssnt
Of its principles:
We believe BY the election Of Stephen A.
Douglas, that the present Union would be
perpetuated through oil ftime n and witAOwt
he election tkst e sciN srsms6b fste ssoN
particle. Therefore, We desire his election.
3. From hostility TO the Compromise
Measures Of 1850, (which H. ". johnson
xealously opposed,) and the belief that .
strictly southern policy would be inaugurated
by Douglas If elected. E1
We quote q before:
We believe that tho neutrality laws, tie
comproniss nseasssrss Of 1850 and all sss6se-
quc,st compromises, scsvv xajwst 70 IL South,
and that by the election Of Mr.. Douglas a
policy ell b iH0wour0tsd by which the
South viii be placed upon an equal footing
with her sister sections. Therefore, We ID.
vocate his election.
8. Because Douglas was instrumental in
repeating the Missouri Compromise, thereby
securing, q he himself boosted last winter. a
large accession Of Territory to S1ooeyy, north
Of that compromise line. This ID the Ian.
guage Of his Georgia organ:
Mr.. Douglas saw the injustice Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise to the South, hence
through his instrumentality Il was repealed,
and slavery ectsndsd from So degrees 80 n,;,s.
utss, to the SSH parallel NORTH latitxde.
4. From desire to secure tie re-0penin1 Of
The AFRICAN SLAVE Trade. On this point
we quote at length this same Southern Con-
federacy, Mr.. Douglass jealous Georgia or
gan:
W. arc for tks repeal Of tie rsstsist;os
upon tie african 6t0Os Trade, reQ0rd2as If
its Construed iapolicy By NortAsvn fanacios
and Southern su6Ssissi0nists.
This is our cherished article. We are an
out-and-0ut advocate for the re-open;ng Of the
we had more negroes the South could now
and then admit new slave States, and We
would hear less about Squatter Sovereignty,
auu IucIS WOulU O6 no O0x0S0O l0T pfOteCJlOO.
Besides, another very great reason Why we
are for repeating oil restrictions upon the
African Slave Trade il, that under the exist
ing statute stakeholder is stigmatized IS .
pirate" when these very "pirates'' not
only feed, clothe, and christianize q heather
race, but from the products arising from the
labor Of the slaves owned by these pirates
the world is clothed and fed. Commerce,
the arts and sciences flourish. An, al, we
say, from the impetus Of slave labor. And
should, the shareholders of the South, or their
ancestry, who were slave traders, be denom-
mated "pirates :" We believe in the states
manship of Mr.. Douglas, his forecast, his
Judgment, and that By Ais election, jHstice and
equity ciU b nssted out to Ssery sectioa.-
Hence zoe adrOcdte he election.
These are the grounds alleged At the South
for supporting Mr.. Douglas, and they are in
strict accordance with the doctrines Of his
associate on the ticket, H. V. Johnson
Every voter in the Free States should read
these frank avowals, and understand the sort
of Juggling made use of in favor of Douglas.
