who arc the True Disorganissrs In the Pres
ent Federal 0risisi
There is not q righs-minded, sensible indyd-
ual, or single conservative journal, in the
city of New York, which does not desire the
preservation of the Union, maintenance OF
amicable relations between the North and the
South, and the perpetuation Of republic,
whose Liberties are the pride and example OF
the world. The overwhelming majority Of the
people of this metropolis, condemn the policy
of slaveholding ultraists who would no open the
slave trade; annex, by fllbustering aggression,
Mexico, Cubs, FVslezzo!s, .hc Ccntra! American
States, and New Granada to the Confederacy;
and establish that Southern empire, which is
the Utopia OF disunionists in South Carolinl,
Alabama and Louisiana, They equally repro
bate the anti slavery propagandlsm, which has
assumed such monstrouR proportions, since
craft aud fanRti5ism irsuss ss1rated Il, twenty fvc
years ago, and loathe the monstrous and unna-
tural alliance between ambition and priestcraft,
which has reduced the country to Its present
sad condition. They have urged upon their
Representatives in Congress to grant conces-
sions to the South, which should restore the
land to It's pristine integrity. A full recognition
of the rights of citizens everywhere; certain
| needful Istipulations which Republican intole-
rance has hitherto denied; full liberty TO carry
slaves into the common territory; the privilege
of transit with bondsmen through the free States
and the universal liberation of opinion respect.
ing slavery as social institution that is grant,
ed to religious sects, are all that the South de-
mand, and they are sustained by the public
opinion Of the maeses in this city in their just
requirements. If, then, dissolution Of the
Union shall be the result of the present crisis !
if two Confederacies shall take the place Of the
one that has raised Us to the high place we oc-
cupy In the scale Of nations, the blame will rest
upon others, but not upon us. Mainly to the
Massachusetts school Of politics, Of which Wen
dell Phillips, Garrison, Sumner and Greeley are
the chiefs, and to which Seward. Wilson, Lin
coin and others orc affiliated, Is attributable
every cloud that obscures our greatness, and
every disaster with which we are threatened.
Twenty years after the Constitution was en-
acted, certain Northern States insisted upon
putting Southern institutions under the ban of
the Union, by excluding them from the COM
mon federal territory; then the right was AFRO
gated Of confscating the property Of citizens of
the South sojourning, or in transit at the

right Of reclamation Of fugitives from service,
which the constitution had expressly guaran-
teed; next, an active system of prolaga ldism
was inaugurated for the purpose Of preaching
crusade against the social institutions Of the
Southern States. The pulpit was desecrated,
and the press prosituted, to incite to insurrec-
| tion, murder, and rapine. Last of all section
al party was created, on the basis of an "irre-
pressible conflict" in opposition to those who
entertained freedom OF opinion with respect TO
| slavery, and President and Vice President
| have been elected, with view to consummate
the acts Of aggresrion which have been carried
80 far, and of "fnishing the battle, which
| shall fill up the measure of tribulstion to the
country. All this has been done by the Massa-
chuseta school of politicians, to which the lead.
ing Republicans Of the day belong, and /. ia to
their persevering and steadfast violation OF the
constitutional privileges of the South that evils
are owing, which are rapidly becoming incura-

Senator Wilson has not hesitated to avow
his adhesion to the sentiments of Carlton
Seward declared that, however he might pre-
varicate otherwise, he could "play no part and
affect no disguise" when called on to acknogl-
edge that he had "studied in tho school of
Massachusetts," "lf have ever" he said,
conceived resolution TO maintain the interests
Of these free States, / learned 1t from Massa-
chusetts." And the future intentions of himself
and his abolition friends in the Bay State, were
most clearly laid down end defined by him,
when ho was requested to do so As the dis
ciple Of John Quincy Adams, who prophesied,
in 1845, that the Union would be dissolved in
twenty years, he exclaimed, at st. Paul:
"The institutions which you desire to con-
serve are almost as ephemeral as your.
selves. look far off into the Northwest,
and say TO the Russian, ego on build up
your outposts to the Artic ocean, they
will yet become the outposts Of my own
country, to extend the civilizatonlof the United
States in the Northwest" And Great Britain
he apostrophizedt respecting st. Rupert's Land
and Canada: SIT is very well; you are building
excellent States to be hereafter admitted into
the American Union" Wendell Phillips declar.
ed on Thursday last, In Boston, that "she slave
States must be shovelied out Of the coniedera-
ton" His pupil Seward had preceded him, by
several months, in finding "seat Of power for
North America within radius not far from the |
head of navigation on the Mississippi river"
TO counterbalance that which he had previously
discovered for slayeholding confederation in
"the valley Of Mexico" "Let South Carolina,
let Alabama, let Louisiana, let any other State
60 out" he said, "and, while they are rushing
out, you will see Canada and all the Mexican
States rushing in to fill the vacuum
Itis not to be wondered at, under such cir
cums.ances, that our brethren at the South
have seized with svidity upon the idea which
has been go widely preached BY Massachusetts,
secIarians and their disciples; nor that, at mo-
ment when the Boanerges of disunion is about
to become the premier Of a President elected
upon an abolition platform, they ehould cast
around for suitable means Of aggrandzement
of their own section, in manner similar to
that intended by those who hold Iower at the
North. Between Mason and Dixon's line and
the 0rineco, they see In prodigious variety, the
materials out of which to found an empire,
which they believe will emulate In grandeur
any that the sun has ever shone upon. Thoy
count upon becoming the cotton growers and
surgar planters of the whole world. With
Cuba for on outpost, they look upon the Gulf
of Mexico as an inland lake; nor do they envy
the prosperity of the North, but avow their
readiness to live with us upon terms Of amity,
convinced that there are no disoordant interests
which should involve enmity between those who
have go many common recollections, and to
whom commercial treaties, and an alliance Of
fensiye aud defensivwould be 80 advantage
Gus. All that is not fraternal In their reactior-
ary programme has been caused by superficial
elements which ever float upon the surface Of
aociatv and for which khe heart of the Snuth.-
