Abolitionism and Know-Nothingism the
Parents of Disunion.
Cotemporaneously with the rise of the
dark spirit of secret
. proscription, which
broods like a pestilence over our happy coun
try, it is easy to observe the increasing hiso
lonee and power of the Abolition party--
The one [pretends to draw inspiration from
an exci usive.patriotism, and -yet in the exer
cise of its influence it has not hesitated -to
borrow from the past the cruel machinery
which despotism has employed for centraies
to cripple and to crush the spirit of hurno n
progress. The other bases itself upon exclu
sive and insane ideas of human petectibility;
and daily proves its incapacity to regulate
the affairs of man, by denouncing what it
calls the injustice of God. Left•each to move
in its own orbit, these evils would be almost
innocuous, but conjoined together they:may
become the most formidable adversary our
happy country has ever known. Native
Americanism was a mere local disease., - and,
like a raging fever, soon burnt itself oni.—
Abolition has been a violent and more per
sistent epidemic, but its danger_ were too pe
riodical and too public not to be effeeteally
resisted. Now that these elements have
combine4.l, however, they possess a
. vast
influence, and
,aspire to a wider range.—
Where the one is weak, the other is strong.
Where the one dare not enter, the other bold
ly intrudes. In the North, abolitionism takes
the work off the hands of the Know-Noth
ings, and captivates those whom it's confeder
ate would not dare
_hi opproaCh. In the
South, know-nothingism performs a similar
office for abolitionism, duping such southern
'Menes hate northern fanatics with a show of
garish patriotism, and carrying off a portion
of the clergy with a hypocriticalpretence'of
piety s „quite as intolerant as, the saine'pre
tence in the French revolution, and' threaten
ing to be 'equally disastrous to true religion..
The Great purpose of this league is ntvls
lON. Temporarily united itself, it seeks to
permanently disunite.-the people of our hap-!
py country. It has succeeded in sowing dis
sensions among themembers of the 'different
dericiminations of christians. It fray also
sown the seed of social crirninations and
.col
lisicins. It can boast not only of arraying all
denominations of Prodestarits against the
Catholic church, but of arraying many of
these denominations against each other.'
people
people thus torn into factions in - religion and
in morals are too apt, to become the easy
prey of , demagogues who aspire .to delude
them into the paths of pOliticar demoraliz s a.-
tiona The fearful en s g.inery erriployediti 'this
'work of War - upon, all established 'rights 'and
securities is unhappily too: public. 'On the
one hand We'see the s Bible trampled neder
foot:because it recognizes 'obedience to the
civil 'kiwi.' On the other,. Webeho s ld the civil
law discarded and denounced bei.aUS; it rec
ognizes_ private rights. Wi th bl i lid in fa:na
tion, we behold professing Christians joining -
the infidel in the cruel-hatred of the Catholic;
the northern fanatic„ with_ pious pretenses,
assailing the Slave. holder and ,excusing the
MUrrnon; and the statues, corning down to us,
sanctioned by the sacred Signature of Wash
ington nullified by intolerant assemblies who
profess to worship Washington, even while
. they quote his,exarnpleas encouragement fat
prescriPtion.and intolerance ! If they" Can
t-tot both Ag,reerin assailing the tights of the
States, they harmonize on the platform of as
sailing the rights . 'of the .citizen, and, as•we
have said, where the one fails to spread dis
aster and ruin, the Other will succeed. , -
It is certainly a mournful spectacle to see
such a combination acquiring sudden power
in such a.country as ours. If . we , did not
knoWaind feel,, however, that, thereis.a.per
mahent sentiment of attachment to our insti
tutions and to all .the, gnranteesand restric
tions of our laws deeply .rooted in -the heart
of the' Ameriican people,, : we, should regard
the progress . of this secret party with un
feigned dismay _and_apprehension; but, in the
language of a distinguished ! member of the
last- Congress, we believe tbat, s however "pal
itidianS and agitators, Nertfaand.South a may
.ripple the surface—may
,cause the wave and
the, billow to roll a —beneath there sleeps a
calm, quiet, DEEP OCEAN OF LOVE FOR THE
UNION and devotion to the constitution. Up
on that l'oVe and devotion ave_baild our hopes,
and wiil, not yield our faith."
But while this universal,attachment a to the
country
s exists, it is notorious that we have
iii cur s midst a _class
s of politicians, North- arid
South r who seize upon every occasion and
every excitement to s fan the embers of sec
tional animosities. These politicians have
but one idea, and that . isathe,destru.e.tion of
the American Union; and while they know
that the masses of -the people a would start
With horror at the. idea of being connected
with any project looking to the dissolution
of these States a they are - crafty.aenouah to
throw themselves into any popular impulSe
which-may aid their united hostilities to, our
beloved Union.
We have an abiding, thabatina confidence
in the sentiment that controls the American
people in every crisis when the ( "union is in
danger, and we knoiv that it is - only'necessa
ry that - they•should he aroused to a sense of
:this danger to rally them in every, state,' in
one united and , enthusiastic band: Indeed,
it is' because the American people themselves
believe that the Union of 'these States is like
:a proud fortres; 'which "laughs• a siege to
scorn," that they- 'feel permitted toindirlae
at intervals in the miserable vagaries which
to often - afflict: American politics; and it is
only when they Clearly -realize that-there are
extremes in this country Which' look to the
delusion of the popular mind' as the 'best
way to accomplish the ruin of the American
-Union; that they begin to 'halt and to -test
professions by practicatresults. -; ft is . .because
- these assaults upon 'a "supposed popular cre
dulity have become more frequent - and more
serious of late years, and not because we be
lieve any contingency can weaken the al
'Most universal regard for our' beloved coon
'fly, that we have deemed this a proper occa
sion, when a new and extraordinary'excite
ment has been inaugurated and carried to
excess, to recall the public mind Co the value
of ,a vigilant and constant regard over the
blessings we enjoy.
It is a singular, fact that at no,period in the
_history of A.tnerican•people have we known
two Organizations at the- same time more
dangerous to the solid interests of the coun
try and-more plausible in their appeals to
supposed popular prejudices. This republic
of ours depends not alone. upon a sound pub
lic opinion at home, not - alone upon 'a high
-hearted hope in the future, but upon the de
-votion, the enthusiasm, and the- prayers of
the suffering millions in the old world. Blot
out from the memories and the anticipations
of The men . who stand by' rePuhlici principles
on these shores the ennobling consciousness
khat they are laboring far aetteration's in the
Old World'oppressed' and generation's
by
despotism; as_ we II as for - their - ehildren's chil
dren, and the struggle becomes almost a
hopeless struggle against despair. In the
nature of things, it is utterly impossible that
the sentiment of freedom in the Old World
and the sentiment of freedom in the New
World can ever be dissociated. We drew
the life of our infant being from the blodd
poured out against 'despotism two hundred
years ago. Every blow-struck against pow,.•
er and against prerotYatiVe planted the seeds . '
of republic which: ad pointed out to Colum
bus in the 15th century. If there had been
no oppression, no pros‘.;ription, no hvnting of
men for religion, for opinion, and for free
. doom, in the antiquated nations ofEurope,
Spanish power had here perpetuated the rule
for the few over the man!, ; and now, at this
age of the world, when the grand experi
ment of man's capacity for self-government
has been crowned with countless blessings,
and vindicated, by numberless triumphs,- how
profane-and monst runs for any party to erect
on these shores a system the boast of. which
is hostility to emigration and to the political
and social equality of the adopted and native
born citizen! When the idea, of he, univer
sal-brotherhood of the people can be•deStroy
ed on these shores, one step—one great step,
will have been taken in the path that leads
to our national overthrow
But while we wonder that American citi
zens should lend, themselves
.to the endorse
ment ,of the idea that . deprives them 'of the
sympathy and the energ.ieg r of -the suffering
millions of 'the Old World how shall we re
gard those who, content to accept•-these'sym
path ies, and energies, occupy, themselves.. by
an internal war upon their o wn institutions;
and impiously declare that there -is a 'better
state of political being. than that afforded- by
the American Union? We care not whence

..This new prescription is the most scandal

it admits him only to torture him, It com

We say, also, that when we give up our re
