fthe right and principles of freemen, than
obtain success by fraud and falsehood.
In one case, sustained by vigorous vi
rality. we should rise fresh and strong !; in
the other, after totter;ng along with IN
certain step, we would faint and tall from
our own weakness and corruption. am
not for an available candidate-l an tor
a candidate who will lead US on under the
banner of the Const:tution-our motto,
Union and Liberty, or 10 Union at ALL
My hope, my prayer is, that when mo-
narchial power sis concentrated and CEN
and daggers may pierce the heart Of the
first crowned villain We should remem-
Der that eternal vigilence is the price of
liberty" bid you, beg you watch -
Seize your trumpets. and at the first alarm
ing moment, send forth the words Of warn
ing. What, sir, is the condition of our
country? Over, above, and pressing down
on our national burdens, We poor western
serts are crushed to the earth by our fac
tory masters, by Lowell lords and shoddy
ladies Peasants and heroes of the West,
You are but tenant vassals tor the nabobs
OF the East! Eat, slice? and be happy! l
say awake arise, freemen of the West,
y
sloth, or your day OF resurrection may
never dawn!
Editor Of The Crisis "ag:tate." If we
cannot have our glorious old Union, let
us have God and Natures Union Let US
follow the brighi sparkling waters OF the
Ohio, down to the Father Of Waters
down to he ocean Of Peace. The greatest
and grandast valley ia the world claims
ur fnr her lot OBJ hnr
claim. If SO, I will divide the honor with
member Of the Cabinet. He said to
Orestus A. Brownson ; 81 am tired OF
Southern slavery ); 1 will have nothing
more to do with slaveholders-1 am in tor
Northern Confederacy." My parody
on that>s
Il am very tired of working for Yankee
taskmasters I hate their selfish mean
ness and therefore, / am in favor of a
W Western Confederacy. l have paid trib-
pte long enough to the looms and spindles
OF the East wish no longer to be the
political packmule of New England."-
They have taught me that when the bur-
den becomes intolerable, / have right
to throw it off. They have invented
word secede, and they have inculcated the
doctrine that an oppressed people are JUS
titled in separating from their oppressors,
''peaceably if they can, torcibly if they
must" :.
OF course, dear Crisis, my proposition
is predicated on the fact that the original
Union is dissolved. No man is fool or
fanatic enough to doubt it. Not even the
Arcadin Nightingale of the White House
can any longer sing fhe song Of the Gun
ion and the Constitution" The master
minds of this nation, who are determined
to rule Or ruin it have presented the alter
native to the South Of ''subjugation or
miscegenation % What ! freeborn A
merican people become subjugated, Or
descend to the lowest depth of human de-
gracation by mingling the blood OF their
daughters with that Of their slaves
The Union is dissolved. From the mo-
ment the confscation laws, the proclama
ftion laws, were published, from that mo-
ment the Union ceased to exist.
With sadness and sorrow, bat not en-
tirely without hope.
/ am your fellow sufferer,
W. MARSHALL ANDERSON.
