The Nue* of the Rebellion.
It is not true that Slavery was, in any
proper sense of the word, the cause of
the rebellion t as is alleged in the Aboli
tion platform. - On the contrary, it was
------ mtletd - by - ther iwpv. Lills.o I, •
and sectional axitations of the Abolition
party, and their fanatical coadjatatore in
the North. • For more than three-fourths
of a century elavery 'had existed in va
rious States of the Union, as it had ex,
ibted b •f we the Union was formed, and
yet peace and pros - perity attended; the
onward progress of our historg. This
lame Abolition party, in their Chicago
platform, now only four years old, de
city
these worthi: "That'to the Uttioit of the
States thiseation owes its unprecedented
;scream in population ; its surprising
development of material resources ; its
rapid augmentation of wealth ; its hap
piness-at home, and its honor abroad,"
yet all this while slavery existed in
'many of the States of the Union. No
rebeilion, no treason, or other national
crime or calamity resulted from it. It
.•-ad not slavery that caused the secession
of the Southern 'States, but actual or
o ,, prehencle I interference with it on the
pert of the Abolition party, and in vio
lation of thationtsitutional bond of the
reion. For a long time Northern agi
tators had been engaged in. fomenting
se , r9.,nal hatred :and strife, and in de
predating upon the Constitutional rights
of the slave holding States. Their lig
gr‘asors berante more and more agrivated
and °Tem.'s , t, until at length perfecting
a strictly sectional organization they put
fn namination. and subsequently elected
• a 'ectional candidate for President of the
Usit,tl Status—ono who for a long time
had been urging on thin sectional strife,
and who stood pledged to 'put the insti
tution of slavery "in course of ultimate
extinction." This party had, been, over
and over again, warned by distinguished
and patriotic statesmen of all the old
political parties, that such an event as
this would result in a distnemberment of
the, Penn. But they heeded not the
warning. Reckless of the consequences,
Maddened AO blinded by fanaticism,
and godied nn by a supreme desire for
power, they pressed Misrard with ihvin
cible seal until their end was attained.
When it was attained, the predictions of
all the wise and discrete statesmen of the
l•sn I were realism!. , Tho •Union was
broken into fragment's,
Instead ,if admitting their just re
sponsibility for this deplorable result,
like the "pursued thief who lustily. cries
"stop thief'," they try to shift the burden
of rispomibility upon the innocent object
of all their evil and wicked machinations.
Oh no; 4t was-notr-their-importiniest in
terference with slavery, it was slavery
itself that caused the disaster! Slavery,
which lad existed without detriment to
the - country for so long a tittle, which
only-asked its Constitutional rights in
• the land, which only asked to be let
alone by thest . fanaties is innocent of
any der'enieganiut the own, or of any

Tree, if elavery!ha l not existed, pro
pee;ea by the broad aegis of the Consti
tution, it could not have been the object
'against which the Abolition fanatics laid
their Plots,. agitated the public mind—
which they held up to public reprobation

people to their sectional and -anti-patri

justify the Southern States in their

had existed, and was in full. operation
from the foundation of the germarneet,
but it yieldedliu-sucit bitter fruits„ Rad
it been.capabtia of producinic such fruits,
surely it would long since havo,donerso..
But immediately upon the triumph of
Abolition fanaticism by the-electiOn of
Mr. ~Lincorn, the father of the "irre
pressible conffiCt doctrine, the Union was
disadre.ji l•
The Abolition party, pioperly-speiik
ing, is kffit little more than eight years
old, having been
,ushered into being by
the Philadelphia Convention of June,
185 l; but the 'incendiary abolition ole
ments out, of which it was formed had
existed and-been increasing in power and
influence in the Nerthe'rn States r Bova
ral years proceeding. It WilS essentially
sectional, in it; constitution, its location,
end in its avowed purposes. It affected
to raise other issues; bat its essential
element was hostility to the local insti
tution; of the - Southern States. The
burden of its song, at all times and in
all places, was abolitionism—uncompro
mising hostility to slavery, a subject ex
clusively within the jurisdiction of
States in which this party had no er
is , nee, and bilhiequently vht - which it
had no rightful concern. Had this been
a natiomi/ Arganization, abstained from
interfering with those • questions that
were within the local jurisdiction of the
sovereign States, its existence and sue
c,,,ms could not have resulted in a dis
memberment of the Union. It has been
in existence for eight years, and has
held sway in the e land for nearly four
yt;ars. The rosult is, a dissolution of the
Ifinlifit7 a ei v - ar or, gl
Lions, a nation•tl debt more than half as
large as that of England, and the over
throw of all the Constitutional guaran
tees of liberty to the citizen. .Tht so
have followed In consecutive order, and
and are the legitimate fraits of this
party organization and its stomas for this
short period.
Slavery vs: Republicanism.
IS slavery hostile to the principles of
Republican Government? So the.Bal
timer° platform a ffi rms. But it is diffi
cult to discover wherein that hostility
consists. Human beings sustain various
relations to each other in society, into
some of which they enter voluntarily and
into others they enter without any voli
tion of their otrn ; but each .of these
relations imposes the right to govern on
the one part, and the duty of obedience
on the other. It is so in reference to the
relation subsisting between husband and
wife ; parent or ohild ; guardian and
ward', insister and servant. pit because
of this subordination of the servant or
slave to his master that this relation is
supposed to be incomputable with Re
publicanism? For the 'Fame reason then
the relations of husband and wife, and
parent and child would be anti-Republi
can: Is it because the relation of master
and servant is formed without the voli
tion oe-the servant? So is the relation
of parent and child. This reasoning, if
it pro've anything, proves too much, and
therefore proves' nothing to the, purpose.
There is no objection that can be urged
against slavery tending to render it anti-
Republican that cannot with equal pro
priety be urged against some other
udmitedly legitimate human relation.
In fact slavery is as legitimate, as
natural as any other human relationship.
That there are evils' connected with it,
as there are with all things humaii—all
things on earth—is doubtless true. Bnt
from the beginning of time, from the
earliest organizations of human society
of which vo have any kno .. fvledge. sla
has existed, and if we may .beligve the
prophetic work it will continue' to exist
to the end of time. Moreover, its ex
istence has met - with the expressaanction
of the Almighty. It is as clearly a di
vinely establishedifultihntion as any other
htnnan relation. The right of man and
wife to be one flesh is not more clearly
I ' - extablistret - thin is - the - fighTfelniiss of
the relations of muter and servant.
And with' joist as much propriety might
it be alledged that matrimony "mint b
always and 'everywhere hostile to the
principles of Republican government" is
that glavery is so hostile. Indeed the
"freo
„lovers" and "wtossen's rights so
cieties" do alledge this.
The Government established by our
Constitution was evidently mad, for the
white, or Commotion race. Neither the
negro nor the Indian were intended to
be embeaced in its franchise of Citizen

The Itteength of the Reballan..
We have shown_in a formex article
that slavery was not the cause of the.
rebellion. Nor is there much more
truth in the. assertion that Slavery is
"the strength" .of the rebellion, as is
also asserted by thWAbolition platform.
Doubtless it is one element of strength.
Dotit tires slavery does imparrt strength,
stability, and firmness to any gtwarnment
in which it exists, and where, from peJ
of_an'i and aIiMRM% '
cl'es of labor can be profitably einple3ed.
But bow strangely does it seem that
this argument should come from the
Abolition party. It is in direct antago
nism- With - th - eir — fo - rmer most eif'ecfiie
argument against that institution. They
hale always heretofore told us, and made
it their mast overwhelming argument,
that slavery Ileit i s source of weakness—
that' its inevitable tendency was to weak
in which it existed. What has become
of all their fine spun arguments, their
carefully prepared statistical tables to
slemonstrate its enfeebling effects upon
the South? Then it sapped the very
life's blood of the States in which it
existed—exhausted their resources,
tramped their energies, enervated their
powers, and spread mildeos, blight, pov
erty and wretchedness all over the land.
But now—prmin; it is the very strength
of.the rebellion. We congratulate them
upon a very slight return of common
sense, upon the fact that:the inexorable
logic of facts, and the rapidly recurring
events of history are benevolently at
work exorcising -the f demon of abo
lition infatuation and lunacy from-their
minds. An yet, howirrer, their vision is
exceedingly imperfect. The scales upon
their mental optics lavej." been loosened,
admitting faint glimmdings of rational
ligfit. ; 'fheyuce,lis it' were, in 'the dim
and misty distance, the giant outlines of
men, as trees, walking.' When the same
inexorable logic of events shall have
fully dispossessed them of the more than
legion of demoniacal tollies and phantoms
which have so long haunted and possessed
them, we may hope for better. flume—
for more rational action. - • ,
In the meantime what is it that con
stitutes "the strength," or chief element
of strength to did rebellion. It is not
slavery. That and their other, material
resources, and the wonderful skill of
their generals must doubtless be• taken
into t"e account in any correctinventory
oitheir strength. But what, more than
every thing else, more than official skill,
more than their vast material of war and
sustenance, aye,, more than slavery it
self. gives stability and strength to their
organization and smoiements, si the ea
t:stance; and domination of the' Abolition
party in the North I
