Gus to Free institutions and obedience to Laws
and Consritutions-and that if we would now
put down treason, SO that the next generation
may enjoy in peace Republican form of Gov
eminent, we must strike fatal blow at the
black Fury by whom the whole yelping pack Of
disunion ours are whelped.
And we cannot say as we regret that the " IT.
repressible conflict has been precipitated at
this time. The antag onism between free civ
lizatlon, and civilization based upon negro
Slavery, was becoming more apparent every
day. Freedom was demanding every new field to
which the Flag was carried, as soil upon which
to SOW the seeds of free institutions, blessed and
strengthened by intelligent g terprise and Ia
Dor. Slavery resisted this demand. While the
conflict was at the ballot box Slavery general
ly prevailed. There it was strong and gaining
strength till it made its incomprehensible blum
der at Charleston. While it resorted only to
the arts of diplomacy, and was content to let
its triumphs be heralded as the trlumphs of the
people, it was nearly invincble. But when it
lusoleutly ueuduucu tHoV ito uOAOso "s 0ho oe"A0
lot-bo4, and its campaign banners should bear
for their motto, " Slavery or dsunion,' it
split the Democratic party into two fragments,
and saved the country. And, as if the judicial
blindness which led to the division at Charles
ton and Baltimore was not enough to irrevoca-
bly, seal the fate of the doomed institution, 1T
capped the climax of its madness by attempting
in arms to tsar down The fabric of our Govern
ment.
Slavery seems to have been made stark mad J.,
that it might be utterly destroyed. No wonder,
it stands appalled, at the unanimous uprising of
the North 1t has severed with the sword, the
last link of sympathy that bound to it a single
northern ally and when it did that it might
as we'll have hanged II milestone about its neck
and plunged into the Gulf of Mexico. When it
next hears from the men at the North, who
have, at the ballot-box fought its constitutional
and peaceful battles let it" stand from under"
Its fate is certain; and though in its death
struggles it may rend and destroy much that we
would gladly have spared, yet the end will be
permanent peace, and u we'll ordered, free Gov
erament.
