Why don't they Resign ? After the
announcement of Judge "Woodward's

why Curtin and Agnew don't resign ?

Facts Tor tlie People.
We have selected a few sentiments of
Republican leaders, enunciated at differ
cnt times, which are now, substantially,
the promulgated doctrines and platform o
the Abolition party. The following ex
tracts are sufficient to convict the Aboil
lion leaders of a design to destroy this
Government and to erect upon its ruins
a centralized despotism, where civil and
religious liberty will not be ..tolerated
It
is manifestly evident, that the Abolition
asts wish to " wipe out the South
in
order to secure a majority in Congress, so
that they may hold to the usurpations
of
power and plunder the people of their sus
tenance. Daniel Webster, many years
ago, most prophetically portrayed the
workings of tliis diabolical party when he
said :
If tliese infernal fanatics and AUiition
ist ever get the power in their hands, liey
will ocerriiU tlie Constitution, set the Su-.
jreme Court at dejiance, change and make
laics to suit themselves, lay violent hands
ON THOSE WHO DIFFER WITH THEM IN OPIN
ION, or dare question their fidelity, and fi
nally Itankrujjt Vie country and delvqe it with
blood."
The people having turned a deaf ear to
the truths of Democracy and spurned the
admonitions of our fathers, can now be
hold the truthfulness of those prophetic
words of that illustrious statesman. Rut
it is never too late to do good, and the
consistent voter, when he finds that he
has been deceived and led astray will im
mediately seek the true path. It is to
this class of voters that we appeal, and
hope they may carefully read and reflect
upon the following enunciations of their
professed leaders. If after being ac
quainted with the facts and the real in
tentions of the Abolition party, they still
continue to vote and act with them, we
shall conclude that such are tired of lib
erty. Degenerated indeed, are the American
people, if they allow proffligates to lead
the way. .Nearly all the following ex
tracts were uttered by men who have
sworn to support the Constitution.
"The central idea, in our political
opinion, at the beginning was, and, until
recently, continued to be, the equality of
men. And although it was always sub
mitted patiently to, whatever inequality
there seems to be as a matter nf mX
necessity, its constant working has been
a steady progress towards the practical
equality of all men.

let us inaugurate the eood old centnd
ideas of the republic. We can do it. The
human heart is with us ! God is with
us. We shall again be able, not to de
clare that all the States, as States, are
equal, nor yet, that all citizens, as citi
zens, are equal : but renew the broader,
better declaration, including both these
and much more, that all men are created
equal. A. Lincoln Speech delivered Sntt.
lGth 185G.
" What a commentary upon the his
tory of man is the fact that, eighteen
years after the death of John Quincy Ad
ams, the people have for their standard
bearer, Abraham Lincoln, confessing the
obligations of the Higher Law which the
Sage of Quincy proclaimed, and conten
ding for weal or woe, for life or death, in
the irrepressible conflict between freedom
and slavery. I desire only to say that
we are in the last stage of the conflict, be
fore the triumphal inauguration of this
policy into the Government of the United
States." I Vm. II. Seward.

" Who wants a Union which is noth
ing but a sentiment to lacquer Fourth of
July orations withal?'' Horace Greehj.
"The Union as it was will never bless
the vision of any pro-slavery fanatic or
secession sympathiser, and never ounht
to. It is a thing of the past, hated by
every patriot and destined never to curse
an honest people, or blot the page of his
tory again. Bingham, of Ohio.
"If peaceful means fail us, and we are
driven to the last extremity, where bal
lots are useless, then we will make bul
lets effective." Hon. Krastus Hopkins, of
Jlass.
" No man has a right to be surprised
at this state of things. It is just what
we (Abolitionists and Disunionists) have
attempted to bring about. It is the first
sectional party ever organized in this
country. It does not know its own face
and calls itself national ; but it is not na
tional it is sectional. The Republican
party is the party of the North pledged
airainst the South. No act of our do we
regard with more conscientious approval
or higher satisfaction, none do we submi
more confidently to the tribunal of Hea
ven and the moral verdict of mankind,
than when, several years ago, on the 4th
of July, in the presence of a srreat assem
bly, we committed to the flames the Con
stitution of the United States." Wen
dell Pullips.
" I believe this government cannot ex

Lincoln.
" Our Legislatures. State and Federal

" The Union is not worth supporting

" I am willing, under a certain state of
circumstances, to let the Union slide."
Gen. X. P. Banks.
"In case of the alternative being pre
sented, of the continuation of slavery or a
dissolution of the Union, I am for disso
lution, and I care not how soon it comes."
Rufus B. Spaulding.
" I detest slavery, and I say unhesita
tingly, that I am for its abolition by some
means, if it should send all party organi
zations iu the Union, or the Union itself,
to the devil." II. M. Addison, of Vie
American Advertiser.
" By all her regard for the generations
of the future, by her reverance for God

Anoti i ek O ctka g e. On last Friday,
Beale II. Richardson, and Stephen J.
Joyce, proprietors and editors of the Bal
timore IlepiibUcan, were arrested by order
of General Schenk, for publishing a piece
of poetry entitled the "Southren Cross."
They were ordered South, and were sent
across our lines this eveninfT.
They were allowed no time to arrange
their business affairs. The office of the
paper has been closed by order of Gen.
Schenk. Individual malice is believed to
be at the bottom of the whole affair,
which has caused much excitement in the
community.
Below, we publish the poem alluded to;
and also a " loyal" poem from the New
York Tribune, in Order to show the license
Abolition papers have over Democratic
journals. While the editors of the Bal
timore Republican are exiled for publish
ing, as a matter of news, a song of the
Southern flag. Greely insults the Ameri
can people and curses the flag that pro
tects him. We make no comments on
either production, but leave our readers to
decide who are the most deserving of in
famy and censure, the editors of the Re
publican, or Greely of the Tribune.
The despicable creature Schenk, who
made the arrest and ordered the banish
ment of those men, has several times vio
lated the sacred rights of American citi
zens ; and should deserve the . odium of
every patriot, and receive a just retribu
tion fur his proffligacy and tyranical acts.
Tlie Southern Cross.
From the Ealtiinore Republican.
O! say can you see through the gloom and
the sturm.
More bright for the darkness that pure con
stellation 1
Like the symbol of love and redemption its
form,
As it points to the haven of hope fur the
nation.
How radient each star, as the beacon afur,
Giving promise of peace, or assurance in
war !
'Tis the Cross of the SuCTH. which shall
ever remain
To light us too freedom and glory again !
How peaceful and blest was America's soil
'Till betrayed by the guile of the Puritan
demon,
which lurks under Virtue and springs from
its coil
To fasten its fangs in the life-blood of free
men.
Then boldly appeal to each heart that can
feel.
And crush the vile viper 'neath Libertie's
heel !
And the Cross of the South shall in trk
umph remain
To light us to freedom and glory again !
'Tis the emblem of peace, 'tis the day-star
of hope,
Like the sacred Labart-m that guided the
Rman ;
From the shore of the gulf to the Delaware's
slope.
.Tis the trust of the free and the terror of
foeme-n.
Fling its folds to the air, while we boldly
declare.
The rights we demand or the deeds that we
dare !
While the Cross of the South shall in tri
umph remain
To light us to freedom and glory again !
And if peace should be hopeless and justice
denied,
And war's bloody vulture 6hould flap its
uuicK pinions,
Then gladly " to arms," while we hurl in
cur pride.
Defiance to ttr a nts and death to their
minions !
With our front in the field, swearing never
TO YIELD.
Or return like the Spartan in death on our
shield !
And the Cross or the South shall tri
umphantly wave
As the flag of ths free or the pall of the
brave !
A lojal" Song.
From the New York Tribune.
ODE TO THE AMERICAN FAG.
All hail the flaunting Lie !
The stars grow pale and dim
The stripes are bloody scars,
A lie the vaunting bymn.
It shields a pirate's deck,
It binds a man in chains, yokes the
captives neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the flaunting lie !
Half-mast the starry flag !
Insult no sunny sky
With hate's polluted rag !
Destroy it, ya who can ?
Deep sink it m the waves !
It bears a fellow man
To groan with fellow elaves.
Furl the boasted lie !
'Till freedom lives again.
To rule once more in truth.
Among untrameled men.
Roll up the starry sheen.
Conceal its bloody stains ;
For on its folds are seen
The stamp of rustling chains!
