We beg the attention or conservative patri-
OTIS to the following impressive exhibition OF
Republican affection for the South, and espe.
| cially for the Border States. II IL an extract
| from a speech, which the Globe has given to
| the world, OF Hon. ID. E. SoMEs, member OF
| Congress from Maine:
| at Is true. the North has been condesceudlnp
| aud generous towards the South, and have no
donbt viii continue 10 be, SO long as the Onion
shall last II ~ natural for intelligent nd homes.
communtties 70 De more generous Than Just espe-
cially towards the reas and erying; but when
their crimes shall be endorsed. instead Of beins
pardoned, think 1t is rather more than they iii
consent 70. And although a few members OF Con
sLoss, representing generous people, may be in =
duced to stand god fathers to traitors nd become
Sssessores TO treason after the fact, feel conf
aent mat the'r constituents will hang them higher
on tho tree OF public scorn than Hannah or Judas
hung. y
Let me say to gentlemen of the border slave
.tates, II you would be protected by the Federal
Gevernment against -ipsurrections.if you would
have slavery still tolerated, and your re-sides
Tcesed-n you would escape the torch and the
sassin knife, beseech you, in all candor and
irankness accept the aid and cooperation OF your
the cotton States fight their own battles Acknow-
ledge the rightfuIness of the doctrine Of fDdom,
education and elevation which now obtantfn all
the Tree States dsenchant yourselves of the in :
huence OF that " high, In your hearts, you would
gladly be rid Of, aud the North will assist you.
GeDtiemen may scout the idea of emanc ipation,
bta u Is soon 10 come. God and humanity have de-
creed it; Empty compromises cannot prevent it
If the Shareholders are honest in declaring that
they are afraid that the people o. the North will
Interfere with slavery, ana destroy it altogether
aud that these fears are founded ON the Increasing
anti slavery sentiment aud political strength of
the North, would IL not be- well for them TO treat
this Northern power with confederation, and
would 1t not be wise TO conoiliate II ?'
These are the allies whom somemembers or
ba VIRGINIA on ion To CO,
States, and these the terms on which they can
secure that alliance. The understanding, ;"
the "tolerating,' the protecting North
will for time spare the fireside., the daughters
wives and children of the South, if they will
hasten to conciliate the Northern Powers
Oh, men with mothers, with wives, with
daughters, how can You leave the homes of
Virginia and all she holds dear ex posed to such
an enemy?
But Mr.. SoMss goes farther, threatens the
South with bloody retaliation if they do lot
permit abolition emissaries to travel unharm-
ed in their midst, and thus spur up the bor-
der advocates of compromise and coneilia-
don:
"And now | warn the South that nIsss It re-
tracts at once frsm its reasonable operations and
commences system of Cancellation toward the
North, it may make up its mind that slavery in
the States W Ill date its downfall from he day the
hrst act OF treason was committed, and in a few
years II Will so out in blood. | warn you not to
TAKE the hlnsy compromises which some few gem
tiemen on this side of the House would offer you.
They do not represent the sentiment of the North;
me North Will repudiate any compromise such as
has been proposed, and the party that makes it.
Lei US LOOK this question squarely in the face, and
graphic with it as 1t is. Let not attempt to de-
celve ourselves or cheat others. In a crisis like
thls we should be men. do our duty, and take the
consequences"
Mr.. SohEs then proceeds to show the pre-
else system Of Cancellation, the exact kind of
concessions and compromises which will sat-
isfy the Republican States. Here is the plan,
Set forth with commendable frankness and
distinctness:
VS. :" The Border States are between two fres.-
W nat can they dc to eXtricate thems elves from
this dilemma? l repeat, conciiiate the tree
states. First, by consenting to the abolition of
slavery IN the District OF Columbia, the dock
yards, and arsenals, oa basis which shall be
OF gradual emancipation in the Border States, and
allowing your people, within your own borders
the right which the Constitution guarantees
them-to discuss the subject of slavery
Consent TO this, and the North will aid you In
any reasonable eudeavor to protect yourselves
ana your property, and the whole civilized world
wan applaud you in SO humane an undertaking.
Will not advise you as to the particuIa mode Of
emancipation. Free discussion among Yourselves
VIII lead to peaceful and equitable solution Of
the whole subject
Mr.. SoMEs is a truthful exponent of the
public sentiment of his party, and the above
Is IN strict accordance with the programme of
anti slavery agitation, which was laid down
twelve years ago by Mr.. SEWARD, and which
mas been contaminated in the triumphant
election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN
