the late Whig party, bringing to its aid the glare of military
renown, they were impregnable and faithful to the cause of
Democracy; and why should Democrats distrust them now?
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and a host of able and patri-
otic cotemporaries confided in thema confidence never be-
trayedand why should we distrust their fidelity? We may
be assured there is no reality in these professed apprehensions.
It is another attempt at Barnumnizing, to enable its perpetra-
tors to seize the government, and divide the spoils. There
may be, and no doubt are, many bad men among the foreign-
ers in our country, and there are certainly many, as many,
comparatively speaking, as among the natives. The statistics
of crime, exhibited by the last census, show this. In casting
our suifrages or making appointments to office, the eligibility
of foreign-born citizens does not necessarily put them into
office, and no party maintains that, where qualifications are
equal, the foreigner should be preferred. On the contrary,
we all admit that the native should be preferred, and there is
scarcely an instance in the history of the government in which
this rule has been departed from. The Anierican party
goes for a total exclusion, however.high the qualification, or
virtuous the man; which, we think totally at war with the
genius of our free institutions. Leave the voter or the ap-
pointing power, when the suffrage is cast, or the appointment
made, to determine this question of preference, as existing cir-
cumstances decree, and the best interests of the country may
require. The Democratic party, following the lead of its wise
and patriotic founders, Jefferson, Madison, and others, is op-
posed to any material alteration of the existing naturalization
laws, except so far as to procure their more cautious and effi-
cient execution.
The fugitive-slave law of 185O~1, by which the federal
government took upon itself through its own officers, the re-
clamation of fugitive slaves, as provided for in the constitu-
tiona law made necessary by the refusal of the Northern
States to execute the act of 1793, to give effect to this consti-
tutional provisionis now a source of bitter controversy. By
the constitutional compact, the free States undertook, and in
good faith were bound to execute this provision, which they
100 [Eke Union dJi& Ji)awge,r& whick beset it. [Feb.,
failed to do. When Congress undertook to perform the duty
imposed by this provision, the Abolition and Free-Soil parties of
the Northern States not only refused to execute it, but resisted,
defied, and nullified it, and then prated most vociferously about
the faith of compromises and the Missouri perfidy. Judg-
ing them by their actions, they have determined to afford an
asylum to runaway slaves, protect slave-stealers and hold out
inducements to slaves to run away from their owners. Is this
honestis it good faithis it abiding the Constitution, or is it
fraternal to the people of the South?
In this sectional quarrel, in which so many of the most
exciting elements are brought to bear, all at the same j uncture
of time, and when the elements of discord have been fanned
by fanatics and traitors, into such an intense blaze, is there any
hope that the Union can be preserved? Is it not greatly to
be feared that foreign intrigue, unhallowed treason, unscrupu-
lous ambition and mad fanaticism are about to accomplish that
work of direful calamity, the dissolution of this great, this
powerful and this beneficent Union this mighty edifice,
erected by unsurpassed wisdom, ardent love of liberty and
unequalled patriotism. When we look through the vista of the
future, and see the possibility of such an event, and the weight
of responsibility which will rest upon those who shall have
wrought the mighty ruin, the mind naturally recurs to the
question: Where lies the wrongat what door the sin? We
proclaim the Sbuth is innocent.
By the Union, the South gained in her political, but lost in
her pecuniary interests, while the North gained both politically
and pecuniarily, as the statistics of commerce conclusively
prove. By the Union, we have been protected and strength-
ened, until we have grown to be a powerful, prosperous,
and free people, and promise, in these elements of greatness,
to eclipse the world. In the history of our progress, the
South demanded no sacrifice of principle or interest on the
part of the North, to their sectional views, save the compacts
of the Constitution, and without which the Constitution would
not have been made, or the Union founded. All that the
South ever demanded or now demands, is, the observance of
these compactsits national beneficence, and its sectional and
individual equalities. This every Democratic administration,
sustained by the Democratic party, always has, and now
accords. What is the course of the free-soil partythe Re-
publicans (proh pudor!) of the North? They have not only
demanded a system of measures, calculated to promote their

sectional interest at the expense of the South, but they de-
mand to prescribe to the South her moral and religious opin-
ions; to abolish Slavery as it existed at the time of the form-
ation of the government; to prohibit Slavery in any of the
territories; to dictate to any new State coming into the Union
whether Slavery shall be one of its domestic institutions; to
prohibit the sale and transfer of slaves, from one of the Slave-
States to the other; to withhold from their owners fugitive
slaves, and, in a word, to confine Slavery within its present
limits, until they have so encompassed us about, that, when
they have acciuired sufficient strength, they may crush it out
and entirely. All these purposes, now openly avowed by
the fanatics of the North, violating, as they do, the vital in-
terests and rights of the South, i~nd annihilating her independ-
ence and destroying her prosperity and safety, it is expected
of the South, and demanded, that she shall submit to, for the
sake of the Union. Let the Abolition-Republicans of the
North be assured that she will not! Her spirit of independ-
ence, her sense of justice, her knowledge of her rights, and
her stern and lofty honor, will not permit it. The Union will
cease to be dear to her, if she by it is to be provincialized,
domineered, and tyrannized over, with more cruelty than in
the days of her colonial bondaoe
If in the providence of God, these Northern fanatics, traitors,
and disorganizers shall succeed in dissolving this Union
who, or what is to be the gainer? Religion ?it will undergo
the eclipse of ages. Liberty ?she will be buried in the ruins
of the conflagration, without hope of resurrection. Free insti-
tutions ?there will scarcely be a wreck of them left. Intolera-
ble and crushing despotisn~ will be reared upon their ruins.
The North ?she will make perpetual and irreconcileable ene-
mies of a race of virtuous, independent people, who by a fair,
a liberal, a just, and conciliatory course might have been made
sincere and valuable friends. The slaves ?they will be trans-
ferred only to a new set of masters and a severer bondage.
The world ?the nations will only see the last hope of liberty
and free institutions fall into ruins, proclaiming in their fall
the incapacity of man for self-government. What calamities
will ensue? bloody, and desolating wars, waged with a fero-
city and bitterness never before experienced. The conflict of
kindred against kindred, for the sake of an inferior race. The
wreck of free 1nst~tutions, the crush of freedoms last hope
the annihilation of commerce, the extinction of civil and reli-
gious liberty, and the establishment of a swarm of unmitigated
despotisms. Whether in the long, the bitter, the devastating
