THE TERRoRs OF SUBMISSION.
A few days since we endeavored to show
that the pictures of ruin and desolation to
the South, which the submissionists to
black republican domination were so con-
tinually drawing, to fright US from our
propriety," were unreal and false. We
propose now to reverse the picture, and to
show what will probably be the conse-
quences of submission of the Southern
States to the rule of Abolitionism at Wash.
ington, in the persons of Mr.. Lincoln and
Hamlin, should they be elected to the Presi.
dency and Vice Presidency of the United
States.
l. The first effect of the submission Of
the South to the installation of abolitionists
in the offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States must be power
full consolidation of the strength of the abo-
lition party at the North. Success gener-
ally strengthens. If, after all the threats OF
resistance and disunion made in Congress
and out of Congress, the Southern States
sink down into acquiescence, the demorali-
cation of the South will be complete. add
the patronage resulting from the control of
NINETY four thousand offices, and the erpendi-
ture q eighty millions Of money annually,
and they must be irresistible in controlling
the general government.
2. To plumber the South for the benefit
of the North, by new protective tariff,
will be one of the first measures of North.
ern sectional dominion; and, on the other
hand, to exhaust the treasury by sectional
schemes of appropriation, will be congo
NAL policy.
3. Immediate danger will be brought to
slavery in all the frontier States. When a
party is enthroned at Washington, in the
executive and legislative departments of
the government, whose creed it is to repeal
the Fugitive Slave law, the underground
railroad will become an overground railroad.
The tenure Of slave property will be felt to
be ,oeakened; and the slaues will be sent do,vn
to the cotton States for sale, and the frontier
States enter on the policy of making thsm-
selves free States
4. With the control of the government Of
the United States, and an organized and
triumphant North to sustain them, the
abolitionists will renew their operations
upon the South with increased courage.
The thousands in every country who look
up to power and make gain out Of the future
will come out in support of the abolition
government. The Bro,cnloacs and Bottses
in the South ,0iu multiply. They aoiu or.
ganiSe; and from being a Union party, to
support an abolition government, they will
become, like the government then support,
abolitionists. They will have an abolition
party in the South of Southern men. The
contest for slavery will no longer be one be.
tween the North and the South. 1t will be
in the South, between the people of the
South.
5. II, in our present position of power and
unitedness, we have the raid of John Brown,
and twenty towns burned dow in Texas in
one year by Abolitionists, what will be the
measures of Instruction and incendiarism
which must follow our notorious and abiect
prostration to abolition rule at Washing
ton, with all the patronage of the federal
government and Union organization in
the South to support it? Secret conspiracy
and its attendant horrors, scith runaors of
horrors, soin hover ouer every portion of the
South ; while in the language of the Black
Republican patriarch, Giddings, "they will
laugh at your calamities, and mock when
your fear cometh."
6. Already there is uneasiness throughout
the South as to the stability of its institu-
ton of slavery. But with submission to
the rule of abolitionists at Washington,
thousands ofslaveholders will despair of the
institution. While the condition of things
in the frontier States will force their slaves
on the markets of the cotton States, the
timid in the cotton States will also sell their
slaves. The general distrust must effect
purchasers. The consequence must be, slave
property must greatly be deprecated. We
see advertisements for the sale of slaves in some
Of the cotton States, for the simple object of
Citing rid of them and ace knov that stand
ing orders for the purchase of slavss in this
market haze been withdrawn, on account of
an anticipated decline If valxe from the poll.
tical condition of the fountry.
Z. We suppose that, taking in view all
these things, it is not extravaganza to esti-
mate that the submission of the South to
the administration of the federal govern.
ment under Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin
must reduce the value of slaves in the South
$lOO sch. 1t is computed that there are
100000 slaves in the United States. Here.
therefore, is loss to the Southern people
of $430 100000 on their slaves alone. OF
course, real estate of all kinds must partake
also in the depreciation of slaves.
8. S1dpe property is the foundation of all pro-
perty in the South. When securitv in this Is
shaken, all other property partakes of its i,atabI
Y: Banks, stocks, bonds, must be influenced,
Iimid men will sell ont and leaveAe South. Con.
fusion, distrua and pressure must reign. -"
9. Before Mr.. Lincoln and Hamlin can
be installed in Washington, as President
and Vice President of the United States
the Southern States can dissolve peaceablv
1--WE know what we say their union with
the North. Mr.. Lincoln and h;s ahol; +.'r,
cohorts will have no South to reign over
Their game would be blocked. The foun.
datlon OF their organization would he taken
away; and, left to the tender merc;eo
OF a baffied, furious and troubled North thew
would be crushed and crushed, as the f3ao;,
tlous cause OF the disasters around them.
But # we submit, and do not dissolue our Union
,osm the North, 'os make the triumph of o,nr obo.
luton complete, and enable them to conaol;,. nnd
s''eld to the po'oer Of the North for our destruction.
