':South" and an enemy to Slavery renders
multtudes utterly incapable Of comprehend.
ling southern opinion and southern motives Of
action. The truth is, they are inseparable-
the South is slavery" and "slavery" is the
Southland every man opposed to one is nee
essarily an enemy to the other. The :South''
is composed of eight millions of white citizens
and four millions Of subordinate or subject
negroes the first are naturally superior
the latter naturally infeiior-the human law
Is in accord with these fundamental facts,
and whatever the domestic and social defects,
the le1 loci is adapted to the wants and best
interests of both races, for it is in harmony
with their natural relations. Legal equality
is the normal condition Of the white citizen
ship, for they are naturally equal, and 'isla-
very''or suhordination of the negro is the nor
NAL condition of the negroes, for they are
naturally subordinate. A change in the
status Of these negroes would, therefore, nee
essarily involve a change in the condition of
the former or if the normal condition of the
negro were overthrown, it would, of necessi-
ty, involve or carry with it the destruction of
the normal condition of the white citizenship
In other words, the abolition of the negro sub
ordination involves, of necessity, the abeli-
ton of white equalty-in short: the abolition
of slavery" is, to the white men of the South,
the abolition Of their own liberty. All know
this instinctively, and feel it in the profound
est depths of their nature even when incapa-
BILE of reasoning it out to their own satisfac-
ton, and therefore every southern man,
whose instincts have not been corrupted by
northern or European education, feels that
the "anti sla very' men Of the North, con-
sciously or unconsciously, is the deadly cne-
my of his own liberty.
Briefly, then, the election of Mr.. Lincoln
was regarded by the South as the signal of a
deliberate and fixed design, on the part of
the North: to take permanent possession OF
the common government, and to WELD it as
an instrument for their destruction. and as it
would, in short tine, have possession of the
Legislative and Judicial, us we'll as the Exec
utivc Department, and the South, with the
principle of self. government stricken down,
wou4a bc utterly helpless in the grasp of its
deadly enemies, nor was the time for resist
ancc, and before they were bound hand and
foot, and at the mercy of those who loudly
and universally proclaimed their design of
inn;c.ing ~ doom on them or their children
more terrible than death itself. .-

THE SOL U L | o N i.

Mr. Lincoln was elected by party whose
organic principle was hostslity to the South
or to so-called slavery. A man might be
bank or anti-bank. tariff or anti-tariii, in
decd, might hold whateyer opinion he pleas
ed on any subject, if he were only hostile tC
slavery or to the existing order of of south
ern society," and was willing to make such
hostility effective by cmbodying 1t in the gov
crnment. MIR. Lincoln would appoint to Of
fee mono but those enlbodyng this sentiment,
and as the secession left him unrestrained by
the Senate we are to presume that every Of
fetal connected with Executive Government
is hostile to the South. The Legislative ma
jjorities are equally pronounced in their hos
tility or anti-slaveryism thus, except the Ju-
dicial Department, which, under the clrcum-
stances, is unable to restrain the powers that
be, the whole Federal Government is rs alb
solutcly in conflict with 'slavery" as is the
government of Massachusetts,. The military
forces are quite the reverse of the civil tunc'
tlonarics The rank and file are wholly ma
tional, and probably do not differ in (abstract)
sentiment with the military masses liz conflict
with the government The general officers,
mostly educated at West Point, the Genera
in.ch,ef and the distinguished gentleman at
the head of the Wsr Department.; arc doubt
less entirely national in sentiment, and desire
to preserve southern society or so.called sIa-
very as we'll as the outward integrity OF the
Republic. But the military power is subor-
drnate to the civil, and il the President still
embodies the principle on which his party
was organized, and harmonizes with the leg
islative majerties, it matters little what may
be the abstract sentiment of the former, and
for all practical purposes, it is just the same
to the people of the South as if every soldier
Of the Republic was a furious Abolition
| ist. 80
If these forces are overwhelming, and
crush out all resistance in the South, and the
southern people are, forced to submit to the
policy Of an .'anti-slavery" government, with
its inevitable consequences. then the end may
be seen with absolute certainty. 1t assumes
that southern society is wrong, that the exist
ing relation Of whites and negroes it the South
is immoral, that it should be abolished, and
regarding whites and negroes as entitled to
the same freedom within the Federal juris-
diction, it hopes, by casting the weight and
prestige Of the Federal Government against
! the existing order, that the States will some

"This retrograde movement has pro-
foundly disappointed and mortified our
people and dashed the fond hopes thoy
had formed of liberating Kentucky and
Tennessee. We had reasonably expected
from Briggs magnificent army something
more than an incursion to the Ohio river
We had anticipated something more than
boastful orders and sounding prociam ma
tons. We had formed exalted hopes of
the great expedition which he led nearly
up to Louisville. His delay ut Tripole,
his hesitancy at Chattanooga, his tardy
advance into Kentucky lad shaken pub
lie confidence, but few were willing to
condemn him. 80 long as an opportunity
remained for the contamination of the
grand objects of the campaign. 1t is all
over now. The Kentucky movement, in
the hands of Bragg, has turned out to be
simply tizzle. 1t has been from the be-
ginning TO the end, a brilliant blunder
and magnificent failure"
