long before the people of the South had
thought of making a struggle for that
Territory at all. When it berame evi
dent that to plunge this country into eiv
il
war and deluge the land in blood
would probably abolish slavery, this par
ty hesitated not to do it The answer
of those who. had any conscience was
that the end jtistifies the mean.:

which are declare) by their own be•t

Theo could nut commit a greater ciiiiie

The vain protest of 'etch men as A. K
111rCLuttg againNt it but proves what we
before asserted, that the impurity of the
fountain corrupts the whole current. It
is thodght to be a measure necessary for
party success, and it is adopted. Hun
dreds of honest men are at this day driv
en into Courts of Justice in an attempt
to regain the most sacred rights of free
men, and are told that the Outlaw) Leg
i•dature is higher in authority than dr
Constitntion of the country. Let this
doctrine be well taught and believed and
. there is an end at once to freedom. If
a Legislature, has power over the elec
tive franchise, then a corrupt" body of
men may do,tranchise all who will op
pose them and perpetuate their own
power forever. Let, the people once
loose faith in the ballot-box, and we
envie at once to the issue of arias. Men
who have enjoyed the blessings of free
dom will ngtvbe deprived of their rights
without'aetruggle a and if the ballot is
no longer free, if" the opinions of men
may not in that wae.be fairly and freely
expressed, then we must use the potent
ariument to maintain our rights which
our fathers used to gain them. The peo
ple of this eountry have displayed a won
derful degree of patience under the most
flagraet wrongs. Letnot those who have
wronged them flatter themselves that
they may always &Mtn with impunity
- Theepirit so long bowed down 'Till only
he the more terifie in Itarecoil. So long
as the people believed that they had a
fair chance at' the elections, that those
'elected were the free choice of a majori
ty, they were willing to taibinit tq al
most anything as the work of the very
' people who shared the evils which were
upon us. But when laws are passed
and enforced preventing this free expres
sion of the will of the peoplc, we are not
far from a concluntoo which may shake
the whole fabric of our government.-
-. 4 lVe mention these things, not to 'stir up
discord, but to call attention to the inev
itable tendency of the doctrines advoca
ted by the Abolitionists. The idea that
Kuceess was a virtue and that to attain

have originated anywhere but among
infidels, and crazy fanatics. The Cam
that it is being carried out by the people
of the whole North, Ifut prove, that •`a

ask him to bestow his blessing upon the
new one, in which Hakim , of our breth
ern are to

and all tin! laws of Nature are to be in

smile upon that which it has eternally
decreed to be wrong !. Or, how dar,e,.we
attentnt to charge Jehovah with the re
sponsibility, for the evils which Aboli
tionism, in conjunction 'with the devil
hai wrought in this country !
Rather let us repent, in sackelotlrand

knowledge our wickedness and seek to
do better in the future.
We do not believe that God orders
and directs' political affair! We, do not
believe that all the variety of flarms of
government in this world are , the works
of His hand, for undoubtedly many of
them contain more of evil than of.good,
and surely lie is not the author df evil.
We believft that all menAas indiyiduals,
are accountable to God for all that they
do, and that He judget, neither them nor
their works collectively. We could cite
thousands of-imitances from Holy Writ
to sustain our hosition; but these will
readily be recollected by men of com
mon sense who have read the Bible.—
We believe that the moral &remanent
of GA is closely and intimately connec
ted with his physical government. If a
single man or a vast body of men do any
thing which is in accordance with His
moral laws, it must, of neomnisity, flour
ish physinally. If Hie 'moral laws are
riolatteeby_poingle individual, or by
any number of individuals, it is latterly
impossible for their work to flourish, for
the laws of Heaven work eternally, and
if violated, inflict their own penalty.—
The condition of Heirs in,,,thia country,
the strife and discord, the murders, the
suffering and thlerfears of all men for
our future, prove to us that God's laws
haye beep broken ; and we cannot bring

—and it, was a question they forced upon

the so-called Constitutional amendments
should be adopted or not. The fight
was to carry three fourths, of the States
