The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1861-01-17

! For several months past the so called Dem
ocratic Editors of the north, have been sowing
the seeds of disunion broadcast over this fair
and, in libellous statements of the most ineen
diary and infamous charaeter-infaming and
exasperating the public mind, both north and
south, and doing persistently, all that evil dis
posed enemies to our common country could do,
to encourage and sustain treason, and destroy
the public faith in glorious old Constitu-
ton.
Reading the "leaders" in the various papers,
| Democratic, so called and so misnamed) pubs
lished in any or all the Northern states, and the
conviction is fixed upon ms, that .here is con-
spi1acy--an understanding amongst them, to
to pursue disunion traitorous policy, until
anarchy and civil war prevails throughout the
whole Republic.
The modern rampant disciples of the doctrine
of ''Squatter Sovereignty" mad at its rebuke,
have seized hold of the pillars of ourC constitution
the palladium of our liberties = and in their
blind and suicidal rage, Sampson like, is heav-
| ing them, until the temple reels like drunken
man, threatening destruction to us all, and no
voice or hand is raised from their ranks to stay
the destructive sacrilege.
Drawing at random, frem pile of that class
of papers, it happens to be one issued in North
ern New York. Dated December IA, 1860.
In its columns Of editorials of falsehoods, it
sserts that neither the northern people, nor
the Republican party, have had any interference
from the South O and yet the Black Rcpub'
licaas' have jeopardized every interest OF the
north, and the Union ITSELF in the fanatical pur-
suit of agitation and the propagation of their
abstract ideas. All our liberties are foolishly
jeopardized, and sacrificed in pursuit of an alb
shact impracticable idea, in regard to institu-
| tions that do not concern them" etc.
The writer of this, his customary weekly ii,
re de Of untruths, well knows that the barbarous
fugitive law--the repeal OF the Missouri com
promise-the villanies and murders practiced
in Kansas (shrieking Kansas by slaveocrats
against free men, because they were free men,
and determined so to remain--the price demand
ed for the Amistad negroes-and the price offer
ed for Cuba-the expense of treas ure and Of
| life, yearly sacrificed, of our sons and brothers
in service on the deadly coast of Africa in ref
erence to that blessed(? Constitution that the
spread of 100000 of ignorant slaves, and in
definite millions more of imported cannibals,
over our free soil, to barbarize and brualize
ourselves, and our sons and daughters, is moi
all an abstraction, and that it is not so consid-
cred. nor felt to be so, either north or south
What right has the STAKEHOLDER to transport
the laws and customs of his State with his
human plumber into the common Territory, there
by driving freemen from it Will the freeman
of the north, degrade himself by working in
company with the barbarian-the unpaid-col>
ored slave 4? Lower him self to that standard {?
This is an abstraction with vengeance. Can
such creatures tell US what is practical if this
lis not,
Two or more enter into co-partne rship-one
of the partners becomes rotten with leprosy, Or
pcstifsrous with small pox, or mad with the
seven years tch-is it an abstraction to the
healthy partners, that the diseased ;member o.
the firm persists in intruding himself into the
counting house of the firm, with the intert to
spread injection?
Such papers are the abettors of Southern trea>
son and our present troubles are upon us, because
of such aid and comfort proffered to trators,by
u venal, unprincipled northern democratic press
- tory in its instincts and preclivities.
Drawing another paper from the same pile,it
bears date January A, 1861. Its editor, with
Ictvo tau1aOniac in cnaalxi IN
of the state of the country, represents it as "a
noble ship with divided and mutinous crew,
floating down the rapids - approaching the
yawing Charlottesville the mutinous leaders,
divided into factions, refuse to lift a hand to
save, and spurn all reconciliation" &c. After
drawing this picture of the wretched course OF
the Democratic party-it affects to charge all
these evils on the Black Republicans, (the term
''Black Republican" is used only six Zines in
that article,) and closes up the scunious arti-
Gle as follows: "Let the responsibility of on:
national rupture and calamity rest where it be-
longs, on the black Republicans, and let future
generations write the anathemas against the
authors and artifcers of the great Ruin"
The reasonable author Of the leader in this
paper, is so besotted partizan, as not to dis
cover that he was calling down anathemas on his
own head, and the whole vile brood that have
for the last ten or twelve years conducted the
venal press of this country.
Rivington's press in New York, in early rev
dictionary times, evinces no mere serpent malig
nifty against Hancock, Adams, Otis, Washing
ton, Ward, Green and their compatriots, than
this class Of of printing politicians now do
against the men who now pledge their lives
their fortunes and their sacred honor in defence
of the Constitution, and the enforcement Of the
laws in accordance herewith.
Again, drawing a sheet from the same pile
under date of an. / /, 1861 it proves to be a
spawn of the same reptile broot, ssued in the
great Northwest, in aid of southern treason.
The editor in labored column, false in hsto-
ry and statement Of facts, coolly and approving
ly writes, "South Carolina rated herself into
tie Union she can vote herself out The con-
sttution of the United States was ratified by
several Of the states with this express under
