ton. Their scheme is a great Southern Con.
federacy, rolling in wealth, based upon d
monopoly Of cotton and negroes, and event.
ually including Cuba and Central America,
with lively direct trade with Dahomey and
other cheap slave marts.
Another scheme of secession includes those
politicians Of the northern slave States who
are satisfied that they have exhausted their
last resource to retain the power aud ad-
ministration OF this Government in their
own hands or for the special benefit OF the
slave power. They feel that the result OF
the recent election secures tho admission or
Kansas as free State, and they despair
henceforth of being able to rule the country
under the Constitution Of our fathers. Fiji.
teen slave States con no longer rule nine.
teen free States with double their white
population, and therefore the confed
u.
ed on basis that Will secure the power 10
the minority. Hence Senator Hunter rro-
poses to dissolve the Union and recopstruc,
it with q double Executive head,-tha. il.
with two Presidents, one from the North and
enc ffem the South, each of whom shall
have veto upon the action OF Congress
and upon each other. Such is the scheme to
secure the power Of the minority.
The third scheme is that OF Gov. Letcher,
OF Va, which proposes to secure the equoli-
fy between the North and tho South BY
sloughipg eff the six New England States
And the northern part OF New York, thus
giving the preponderance to the South By re
dneing the number Of free States 10 the
Union.
hilthese schemes contemplate the destruc.
tion OF the present Constitution and Gov.
eminent, and the establishment OF a new
one on the human property basic.
Then there is another diminished section
OF Shareholders, represented by Crittcnden,
who are simply dissatisfied with our present
Constitution as our fathers made it, and pro
pose to amend it in such manner az utterly
to subvert the idea OF its trainers, who care
fully excluded the term slave and would mt
on any consideration recognize in it's pro.
visions the idea OF property in man.
But whatever scheme we consider
whether of total and permanent separation
and reconstruction, or Of COMPROMISE on
amendments to the Constitutions the idea
OF Slavery, and the desire OF the extension
and perpe,uation of tho slave mower to a
greater extent than is practicable under the
Constitution Of our fathers, il at the bottom
of it.
