THE lINION-TAE CONSIITUTION-AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
HARRISBURG, PA
Saturday Normtut, February 1,1502,
IDLE IMPRESSIONS.
One of the pretexts which has been used by
the northern dough-faces for, many years,. to
Impede and interrupt the dissemination of a
inet sentiment on the subject of negrolslavery,
is, that all men who oppose
or..
are aboli
tionists, emancipationists or. fanatics. They
allege that the northern opponent of slavery is
in favor of the immediate emancipation of the
slaves of the south, a - Measure Which no man,
however blindly he may be in favor of aboli
tionism, cm fail to discover, would result in
disaster to all sections of the country, slinply
because the sudden change and disrupturit of
satiety which would follow such a , moveirent,
must drag down with it forms and principles
now essential to the permanency of the Union.
In this war, particularly, those whoare opposed
to slavery, are bitterly denounced as abolition - 7
isle by those who have no other means of showl
tog their sympathies for traitors.
The abolitionism which has taken hold of
the public heart and animates the army, is that
which contemplates the disfranchisenient" of
slavery. Republidan principles deny the right
otany class of meri. in a Republican , form of
government to exercise or wield, privileges and
porter which prejudice any inte:est or principle
relating to other citizens of that ilepublio. In
its, political bearing and influence, no man will
attempt to deny that this has been the ten deny
of slavery, at least so tar as its enfrariehisethent
is concerned, because the power thus vested in
the hands nfi a few men in the .south, outbal
awing and overshadowing the same numb or of
free white men in the north, has lad to the ar
rogance of the slave driver, the engendering
of an aristocracy, and the rebellion which they
now wage to usurp all the authority of the fed-
eral gorenunent. When we abolish the fran
chises of slavery, we will have achieved a. po
litical victory which will shorten the road to
the moral, individual and social acne lioration of
showy. It is the fear of this disqltuchisereent
ttui t t ;has . aroused . thesiaveholdei .ni the south
Aertaame
la not themere lost financially in the institu
tion which hap caused relmition, but the fact
tbiro`tAai;c4 is"bounci to, loose Ile prestige in
political power. '
TREF BAYONET 18 TR,E27112V19
A person who was present at the :battle of
Buena Vista, and afterward wrote a desotiption'
of it, said that when the American and kreil
can 'armies were drummed up face to face in
battle array r imil.before.the fighting had com
menced, Gen-. Taylor rode - slowly along.in front
of his men, saying some encouraging word to
eaoh tionipany as he passed it. "Old Rough
and thisdr utt saiwiesa9 on his hsrSe.., with
onaltiot in the Stirrup and the other leg hang
ing over the saddle on the same side, and as he
passed the spot where the miter was . standing
he . iuticl: 'The hayonet, my hardy cocks, the
bayonet is the thing. - , Secretary Stanton's re
cent general order shows that he holds this
weapon in equal esteem. "In the prompt and
epirited movements and daring at the battle of
tdillliprinEut,” he says, with stirring eloquence,
"the nation will realize its hoOti,' and the
people of thee Vatted States will rejoice to honor
every soldier and Officer , who proves his courage
by 4:sigma:poi& Oa bayonet and storming entrench
ments, or in the blare of the enemy' ,fire." '
There can bo no doubt that determined
charges with the bayonet are the highest feats
of personal daring, and the best proof that Sol
diers can give of their bravery. When their
courage is equal to this , it is equal to any de
mands that can be made upon it. The stirring
appeal of the new Secretary will make thous-
ands of our brave fellows eager for oppor
tunities to distinguish themselves in this way.
Esumurn 1s SATISIIRDI Satisfied with what?
This is a grave question, full of meaning, but
as the English press and their American cotem
porarieti join in the cry that England is satisfied,
we must accept the assurance as the certainty
of peace, until England again becomes dissatis
fied, which will be the moment her rapacious
and jealous ministers of state imagine that
they havilomul another pretext on which to
base some preposterous claim or arrbgant de
mand on this government, then they will
only be satisfied, and through them the satisfac
tion of the English people, established by another
overuddming argument ~of the federal administration.
In the Trent affair, the British government
were determined to be dissatisfied—resolved, if
possible, to provoke a war withthe American
States, but failing in this, and' discovering
that the claim they' had made waif the recogni
tion of a policy this government had long.in
sisted upon and advocated, the British aristoc
racy were.glad to escape the dilema and the
shame which their owd inconsistency had
brought upon them in the eyes of the world,
by aeserling a satisfaction which, is as hypo
crititial as all their former professions of friend

OUR NORTHERN ALLY
The alliance which is generally formed by
treaty, is as generally of very little force, effect
or importance, because nations have little re
gard for their word when selfish wisdom inter
poses to tempt them to do wrong. Very few
treaties that have been formed, since diplomacy
combined the art of lying in order to deceive,
but have been violated or diiregarded, when
it suited the purpose of the nation:thus derelict,
or when it had the power to outrage interna
tional law atits commaii'd. The British gov
ernment, for instance, has indulged in more
diplomatic covenant of peace, and comity than
any other nation in the world ; and yet the
enormity of its violations of these compacts,
has more than once filled mankind with shame
and the wolld ,with indignation. England, is
ever prompt plight - Int filth when Prosperity
promises to greet its progress ; but the moment
profit and gain vanish from its vision, its
potentates and' ministers forget their pledges,
deny their covenants, and abrogate their Com
pacts. The shore§ of every ocean and sea in the
universe attest the outrages of these violations
—bleeding India has proven them in her sighs
and groanS 7 tortuted Mina illustrates them
in her opium victims —while, wherever weak
nese had an"interest or a resource, or ignorance
the possestionnf a terrain" , which excited the
cupidity, o Great tritain,, in that Virec ine its
diplomats directedtheir arts and their cunning,
nntil,:they could procure a treaty of alliance,
which English hypocricyat once violated, while
British force and arms:insisted on their viola
tion at the expense of the lares and the
property of the innocent and defenceless. .
We believe that the government of the Uni
ted Stay* has never isjr - treaty, entered into as
understanding of alliance-for offensive and de
fensive operations with anTnation in the world.
Our means of information none does not afford
us the intelligence to be Positive on this point,
and yet we feel ctrtaie that, withithe exception
of the alliance with France during. the war of
the revelutien, the government of the United
States haa steed eleof from•treatiett of alliance
for belligerent purposes , .with any nation in. the
world.- Obseriation taught our rulers that such
written understandings were as uieless as ropes
Of sand,: And, 'yetpwe have an ally—a bold,
powerful, and.almost invincible• ally--advoca
ting and maintaining principlai directly the op•
posite and' the extreme ' of o ur own'system of
government—with a people scarcely possessing
an interest in common with• our vwn—with
laws that admit of no appeal and a - monarch
who is absolute—westill.pbssesa the unwritten
liance.in the sympathize, the prayers and the
admonitions of Risers..
During the late embarrassing condition of
our relations with England, when the rotten
aristocracies cf the world, regarded our position
with a sneer andreplied to our arguments with
a scoff, the Runtan governmmt simply intima
ted to the administration at Washington a line
of policy which after developments proved to
have been a singular and happy acquiescene in
the very , policy which Prcieldent Lincoln had
adopted in the Trent issue. , Brassia,'unlike its
neigh boring dyn oaths, had no word of sympathy
or encouragement for Great Britain. Despising
all dissiMuiatien, and contenting himself—v/1W

NQ ! Is it to advance civilisation and religion?
NO. Well may the world then demand to know
this Object for,which this immense treasure is
expended. And well may we answer that it is
to prevent a few thousand slaveholders from
destroyirig this government. It is ,to pill an
end to the rebellion of these slavehiOiders;
backed and aggravated by the misrepresents,
