Judge Douglas and the Democratic Party.
An article which recently appeared in tbo Wash
iogton Statu with reference to the condition and
prospects of the Democratic party, ia exciting a
good Seal of interest among the political quidnuncs.
As straws show which way the wind Wows, we may
determine pretty accurately, the direction of Judge
Docolas' sympathies and feelings, from the views
and opinions of his organ. The Washington cor
respondent of Uio New York Tribune toys:
" Douglas's organ in this cily, The Stales, whose
editor, Mr. Pryor, was Douglas's confidential advis
er in the recent difficulty with Mr. Filcb, declares
this evening that there is no longer Democratic
party, and cttca, in proof of its assertion, the dis
sension between President Buchanan and Secretary
Cass on the question of Squatter Sovereignty, be
tween Buchanan and Floyd on the question of the
Focifis Railroad, and between Buchanan and Ccbb
on tho Tariff question- It ssys thai on no single
issue is there concord in the party, and aeserts that
the confusion of Babel was not eqoal to the present
discords of the Democracy. The Slatet being un
derstood' to express the views of Judge Douglas, the
article attracts great attention.'
Jtidge Douglas expressed on the floor of the Sen-
ate last winter, while engaged in his treacherous
efforts to break down the Democratic party, the
same sentiments which here find him repeating
through the columns of his organ. We may there
fore conclude that he has abated nothing of his hos
tility to 'the Administration, and that he is deter
mined to merit the self-choscn epithet of an " un
conquered robeh" We feel perfectly willing that he
should wearthe honors that he claims. If he pre
fers1(jJsfigTjtjjSfider therebel flag, we certainly rould
deprive hTmrbf none of the dignity or renown that
may attach to the glory of his achievements. Ue
can inflict no greater injury on the Democratic party
in his character of an insurgent, than he has U
ready done while following the Black Republi
can Standard. If he can tarn more distinction
as a' free looter than by mirchtng in the
ranks of the enemy, we are not disposed to complain
of his choice v
Nor are) we alarmed at the dark forebo
dings of himeelf and his organs. They hate
been predicting deetruction to the Democratic
party ever since they placed themselves in opposi
tion toil. Theyhavesecn nought butdangerand
darkness in the future, since the administration re
fused to listen to their counsel on the Lecompton
question, and abandon its policy and iis principles
in obedience to their wilL We remember how elo
quently Judge DouotAS warned the parly of the
evil consequences of the course it was pursuing,
and we remember, too, how faithfully the Slatet
echoed his sentiments. The Senator and his organ,
both prophesied speedy perdition to the Democra
cy, if they passed the Lecompton Bill. We are not
astonished that they should attempt to convince the
country that their predictions have been fulfilled.
Their reputation as prtphets, depends on their
success in this undertaking, and we may expect a
series of just such mournful musings as those
which we find in the columns of the Slates. We
anticipate a periodical repetition of tbee melancholy-utterances.
Whenever Judge DoucLas finds
lis fortunes growing darker, and his influence in
the nation becoming weaker, we shall be favored
with another strain of his prophetic inspiration and
another rehearsal of his dirgo over the death of
the Democratic parly. He will soon become a con
fii jicd hypochondriac. He will be as melancholy
'as the knight of the broken vow and worul visage.
His lamentations will be as incessant if not as musi
cal as those of Obpmus sighing forhislott mistress.
Math os meditating in hta exile amidst the ruins
of Carthage, or Asdbew Jackson Doxkisox mourn
,iag over the corruption and decay of the party
which he had abandoned, are the only historical
examples to which we can compare tho banished
Senator, and his discontented followers. They
console themselves iri their desolation, by deploring
the destruction of the Democratic organization.
They luxuriate in their grief and delight in their
anguish.
The only drawback to their melancholy joy, is that
' the occasion of tlivir grief is entirely imaginary.
Neither Mr. Dcuolas nor his friends can convince
themselves that the Democracy U less powerful than
when the Senator himself led its forces in the Con
gress of the United States. They of course fail to
convince the people of a fact which they do not be
lieve themselves. Tho State may point in triumph
to thediversity of opinion among leading statcsmn
In Washington, but the Slatet it aware that these
divisions do not extend to the masses of the people.
who guard tho principles and direct tho destinies
of the Demoeratio party. Judge Docolas may de
clare that ho is a "victorious rebel" but Judge
Douglas knows that he has not conquered tho
.strong, deep, Demoeratio ecntimeut of the country
though he may have defeated the Administration in
its efforts to admit Kansas into the Unicn. He has
read political history to little advantage if he con
ceives that the distentions of office holders cr office
seekers about Washington can permanently disturb
the hat mony of the Democracy of the nation. He
has learned little from the past if he thinks that his
success in Illinois will break down the Admitiijtra
tion or seriously embarrass its policy. Gen. Jack
- sos's Cabinet was torn by faction, and finally broken
up. But the party was never more powerful and
united. Jous C. Calhoun, while Vice President of
the United States, resigned his office and raised tho
flagof rebellion ia South Carolina. Hetoo was vic
torious; he returned in triumph to the capitoh and
hurled his defiance in the face of the Administra
, tion. But tho Administration was successful and
the Integrity of the party unshaken. And so it will
be again. Politicians may wrangle over office or
' quarrel about the best meanB of carrying on the
government; but the people constitute the Demo
cratic party and they will not be false to its prin
ciples.. A Democratic Caucua Important Action
on tlie Tariff.
Special Dlipatrh tff the Cincinnati Garette.1
. Waiuimoto:i, Jan. SO.
The Democratic United Slates Senators have had
a aucus on the proposed tariff emendmcnts, when
action was taken adverse to any increase of duties.
Mr Hunter offered a resolution declaring it inex
pedient to increase the tariff, owing to a revival in
business, which promises aa abundant revenue.
Mr Bicleroffercd a resolution declarwg,the reve
nue insufficient, and, therefore, an increase in the
tariff, necessary. ...... j
Mr Siidell said the Government had belter reduce
the expenses, and not increase revenue
Mr. Bigler's resolution rejected, ana Mr. Hunter e
tras adopted by a large majority. ,
Wc are greatly rejoiced at this action on the part
of the Demoeratio caucus and tinccrely hope that it

How hopeful is this champion of the Bepublieaa

let that he has the nucleus of a party there now.
Will he bo so kind as to tell us who is so trecher

the Fouih mav vet achieve a s'lll nobler destiny
AVnat would our power, as a nationr be to-day, ifit
had not been for this principle of expansion, so
dear to the great Democratic heart!
Whan we come lozlance at the map of our terri-
torial acquisitions, the iajusiice and inequality to
which the South would have been subjected, and
from which it was pania'ly 'eaved by the policy of
the Democraiic party, U startling. In order to
comprehend raoro fu'ly the etotmlty or northern,
selfishness, see the Old Dominion-tho mo-hSr cf
great ideas and great deeds, in the prodigality rr
her munificence, and in the virgin purity of her
patriotism, with a moguinimity to which thehiiory
of tho world furnishes no parallel, cede to theNorih
the Northwest Territory, an empire of itself, com
prising tre States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, and Wisconsin. For thismuuificent donation
a froe-will offering lo theso people-thcy i-end to
this Congress some Representatives who affect to
scorn what they are pleased lo aVneniinate the
slave oligarchy of Virginia. Well may this venerat
ed old mother exclaim,
"Iloir sharper than a aerpenfi toothith
To hare a thanUe&s child."
And yet, when the wise statesmanship and fore
cast of Jefferson seized upon the lucky moment lo
wrest the Louisiana purchase from the grasp of Na
poleon, this tame northern party denounced him as
a propagandist and usurper. There was a splendid
acquisition, the richest in soil, the most splendid in
production, the most delightful in climate, and the
mott fruitful in resources of any land beneath the
sun; with the noblest rivers, embracing the great
Father of Waters, upon whose bosom navies might
proudly flcat Whoso insane who so struck with
judicial blindness as to regret the free navigation
oMhe Mississippi river, wiihout whieh tho South
must have ever been a blighted province, shorn of
her commerce!
The advantages of that territory can scarcely be
computed. Every farmer who lives within the great
valley of that noble river, has cause to bless the
American progrefs of the Democratic party, with
out which-that immense empire would hate been
to day a French colony. It was the Democratic
party that gave ycu Fljiida witli ils health-giving
breeze. And when tho lone star of Texas, currus
eating with the glories of San Jacinto, veered from
the rrt.it of its nationality, and settled amid the
American galaxy, this same anti-slavery party of
the North, had their hearts not quailed them, would
have quenched it in blood, and blotted it from the
firmament of Stales. Annexation was opposed by
the old Whig rarty in the South; but only aa a party
move, which resulted mott disastrously to its pros
pects and future. But the national democracy in
Bribed the honored name of Texas upon their ban
ners, and bore her triurcphmtly into Iho Union.
Who, now, but an abolitionist, will gainsay the wis
oom of that policy! There she lies upon our south
western border, like a huge giantess slumbering in
her strength, who, if the bloodhounds of lanatictsm
approach too nearly, will arouse lo tho most deter
mined and desperate resistance, We can no more
do without Texas, than the moon can do without the
lustre of the ttars that smile in her face a3
" She walki In beauty through the night."
Where is the enlightened statesman who will ad
mit that Mexican territorial acquisitions the
ctowning glory of that most succesful and bril
liant administration of the model President, were
inexpedient end unwise. Since the mines of Cali
fornia and Nlw Mt-xico have been opened up to
American enterpripe and industry, evcty depart
ment of human pursuit throughout our whole coun
try has been quickened, and the whole commercial
world strides alone upon a more exleiided scale.
California gold is silently producing revolutions in
the commercial and financial world that contradicts
all calculations of the political economists, and up
sets the best established theories of the wisest
statesmen. Sceptics may doubt and sneer, but they
are confounded at the amazing results it has pro
duced in the progress of human thought and action.
Energies hove been aroused and latent efforts put
forth which had lain dormant throughcut the long
ntght o: ages past In the whirl of prosperity and
sudden fortune which has broken upon us, men'
can scarcely believe their senses. In a word De
motrucy has acquit cd every foot of territory that
has been added to the nation, and has taken every
s'ep in the march cf American progress, while
the opposition parlies have resisted and opposed our
expansion preterring rather American repression.
That mission is not yet fulfilled; the dim vista
that separates the present from the future, but hard
ly conceals from the view still grander and nobler
results.
The time may not have arrived when we ought
to acquire other territory, but it will come. Desii
nv farces it upon ue trAaf it lo be vrill be, and hu
man power cannot prevent it. Yau can no more
repress iho energies of this people than ycu can
check the headlong cataract or turn the course of
the mighty river. Cuba, rocgh diamond in the
Spanish crown, will some day dazzle the eye.bright,
polished, and sparkling in the diadem of American
States English diplomacy, nor Frenoh bluster,
can wrest from the American people this gem of the
ocean wave, colored as it is, with the blood of tho
lamented Crittenden. It is ours, geographically;
commercially, naturally, ond the very sovereignty
of America, tooccr or later, requires its annexa
tion. There is not an inlercstin th's country that would
not be beneficially affected ly the acquisition of
tbis island; but more e-pecially would it contribute
lo the interests of the people inhabiting the valley
of the Mississippi river Every description of pro
duce nor raised in that fertile valley would be en
hanced in value by finding a market in Cuba; while
the great staple cf that island, sugar, under Amer
ican culture and by free trade, would be supplied
lo us at greatly reduced rates. The people of the
United Stales would save, annually, millions in the
simple article of sugar But the island becomes
doubly important to this country in view of our
hundreds of millions of commerce between the At
lantic and Pacific shores that past beneath the
Spanish guns. A people so near our own shores,
and long weighed down by tho iron yoko of Spanish
despotism, awed into submission to the most tyran
nical laws by a hireling soldiery, it is not unnaiu -ralthat
they should seek deliverance from a Govern
ment which, instoad of affording them protection,
operates as an engine cf oppreesion. American
prosperity and Cuban independent alike suggest tho
necessity of cariy action.
European diplomacy is endeavoring to entangle
us with our southern neighbors, but American pro
gress must cut the Gordiaa knot of Mexican mis
rule, aud Central American deepotitm, and rebuke
the unwarrantable intervention of the English
Queen and the French Emperor. These countries
mutt and will be Americanized; in spite of the in
trigues of foreign despots, by tho moral power of
our great example; if not, by the terrible vengeance
of the sword. To such an alternative we have to
come; I would prefer not, but sooner thau see those
transits cloecd by the armaments of the Anglo
French alliance, to intercept our commerce and our
free passage tothe Pacific chores, and thus laugh to
corn, our boasted American principle of tho Mon
roe doctrine, I would counsel and appeal to the ar
bitrament of the sword, the last argument of na,
lions. Sir, I am not of that Fchool of politicians
that would repress the application of the great prin
ciple of liberty and justice to classes or to States.

a nootter more terrible than European guns, the
infernal spirit cf ami slavery, who blood up in all
his effrontery and opposed her just and constitu
tional demmd, and thrustcd in her faco Wilmol
provisos. But the Democracy, with true constilu-"
tional devotion, denounced all such unjust discrimi
nations ngainet any portion of this Confederacy,
and proclaimed the principle cfnon intervention
and popular sovereignty. It is True that, lo the
genius and statesmanship of the illustrious sage of
Ashland, moro lhn any other man, is the honor of
that triumph due; but, it must be remembered, that
he had been set aside by the Whig party for the
availability of General Taylor, and that the grpat
Kmuckian was without a parly, and had to rely
upon the willing support of tho Demoeratio party
And, again, in 1854, who but the Democratic
party stood Up for the stmc great principlo in the
Kansas and Nebraska act? The great body of the
Whigs in tho Sanih, who loveJ principle moro than
they did parly, gave the measure their hearty sup
port. Again, when Konas. with a leeally-made
conslitu ion, knocks at the door of the Uuion end
asks that she be allowed a teat in tbis great eisler
hoed of States, the is indignantly tefused by every
Abolitionist and Black Republican, because she
has rccoznised domestic sHvery in her constitution.
The South, in this instance, as in 1854, furnisfcei a
crrporal's guard who vte ar.dactwtli the anti
slatcry parly. But no southern DennoiQt, am
proud to bay, is found upon tho list ; ha', to a man,
with more ilian haU the southern Americans nip
perl the measure. And where si ami j the northern
Democracy in this test of their fealty to the can
stiiulional rights ot tho South! Of tho nqrthern
Democrats in the Senate, only three volcdseftinsi i';
while In tho Hnuse, from tho Norn, only twelve
Democrat arc.fouud to finally iecord their vole with
tho Opposition.
Thus you see, after all the hue and cry cf Iho di
vision in the ranks of the Democracy, there ere bat
a very for who stood out finally But it is urged
that the poliey of the Administration upon this is
sue has been condemned in the recent elections in
the North The Democracy, in the last northern
elections, for the first time, had to contend against
the complete fusion of the Black Republican and
Know Nothing parties. And even against tbot un
holy alliance our strength, as shown by the popular
vote in each of tbreo great States, New York". Penn
sylvania, and Ohio, is larger thau it ever was before;
showing, conclusively, tbat Iho policy of the Admin
istration bai been opposed liy the honest masses
of the party. Bu'. wherfc is the man of any oth
er party in the North who stood by the South in this
contest! Echo answers where! But how has the
pul.oy of the Administration been received in tho
States South where elections have taken place! The
popular msjoiities hae been largely increased In
Missouri, where an effort has been made to introduce
the emancipation q-ieelion along wito anii-Lesomp-ton,
the Administration parly has been eustained by
tho uprising of the people by unprecedented majori
ties Democrats and Americans have united and
swept anti-Lecompton and emancipation from the
soil of Missouri.
9ut some AmerioanB of the South complain thit
the South has lost Kansas, as a slave State, and that
squatter sovereignty has been substituted for popu
lar sovereignty. At the same time that these parti
sans make these complaiuls, they Bustain moat en
thusiastically the very men who vo'c 1 aztlnst the
repeal cf tht. Missouri compromise; the very men
who voted to keep Kansas fne territory, and who
opposed her admission as a flare State. Beautiful
consistency' Complaining because Kansas is not a
slave State, and yet hurrah for the very men- who,
by their votes, would net give her even a chance to
be a stave Stale; and denounce those who did give
her the opportunity lo have slavery 1 These same
consistent patriots affect to be wonderfully horrified
at the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. They cry
out squatter sovereignty, and at the same timo de
nounce the Administration which is oppoeed to that
odicus doclri c. They are down on squatter sover
eignty, but they are ready to excuse anybody (but
a Democrat) forcnlertaiuingthe heresy. They do
nounce squitter sovereignty, but sus'ained Millard
Fillmore, who sustained congressional intervention.
They cry cut sqnatter sovereignty, aud at the suns
timo sustain their leaders, who voted and acteJ with
Free-Soiltrs in the territorial organizati- n act cf
Kansas and Nebraska, and who were in open harlo
try with the Abolitionists against the admission of
Karsas, because sho had slavery.
Nor can they say that they are ignorant of the
Block Republican tendency of this party. Have
net some of the South American journals recently
baldly declared their williDgne'ss to fuse wiib the
Black Republicans! And is it not understood in
this city, that efforts, unceasing efforts, ore con
stancy made lo bring about a harmonious coalition!
Do not the Journals of Congress tell tho tale too
plainly, that there is a party in the South acting,
not talking only, but acting with the Black Repub
licws, with the view to overthrow the Democracy!
And waSnot this Northern American party politely
bowed out of the late New York State Black Re
publican convention, after it had become demoral
ized by a proposition to fuse, and after it had low
ered its tUg and tubicribed to the anti slavery
plank of Seward's platform! I say bowed out, for
they were indignantly refused a voice in the nomi
ua ijn of the ticket. Did not tho Sena'cr fron
New York, Mr. Seward, during the great debate
of tte laststsaior, congraiuia-eii'S party, that their
prospects were brightening, and Inat even in tlie
South a party was forming, upon whose aid he
cculd confidently rely! To whom had he refer
ence! Of course to those who think and vote with
him upon those ere at Issues of southern riehts As
a member from Tonnessee, it was with deepmortifi
ca'.ion and regret that I heard the gentleman from
Mastachusetis Mr. JSarlinsramc I eulogize a ten
nessce Senator, Mr. Bell, knowing as every one
dors, the invetertte hatred which the Massachu
setts Representative bears the institutions of my
Slate.
The Richmond Whig, a leading aati-Lecempton
American journal, having argued that the slavery
question is settled, siys:
" There U now, therefore, no reason under heaven why tlie
Opposition, North and outh, l?ast and Vest, may not unite in
sup)iO' t of the same policy, and the same candidates, in teC9.
And nego tor such union, wiui all our neart ana (oui.
The Louisville Journal has been for a year or two
advocating the election of Bltck Republicans over
sound and national Democrats! "
"In view of the existing slate of thinzs, the ne
cessity for a recors ruction of parties is apparent,"
say Bomeof the American papers of the bouth. lhe
signs of tho times very clearly indicate that the dis
cordant elements of the opposition are going
through another smelling process, of which Black
Republicanism, northern Know Nothingism, and
Anti Lecompton southern Americanism, constitute
the component parts. And the honest mis3es will
soon be called upon by the professed patriots of this
new organization, to unite with them in putting
down lhe time lionoicd Democratic party, that has
stood the shocks and changes that have swept over
the country from the days of Jefferson down to the
present moment. What is to be the name of this
new party is, perhaps, the most difficult and per
plexing question connected with its parturition a
parly traveling about in search of a name, like Ja
phet for a father. Bui, judging from those who
have kindly offered their services to stand at the
baptismal lent as god father for the foundling, it is
very evident that the South will find as little sym
pathy from it as from the bitterest of her sectional
foes. The same pen with which Horace Greeley
and James Watson Webb invite William H. Seward
and Henry Wilson lo a Black Republican jubilee,
over the defeat cf the Kansas Lecompton constitu
tion, indites, in terms of warm commendation, let
ters of invitation to distinguished South American
Senators.
For the want of a better nlatform. onnosition to
the Kansas policy of the Administration', and sup
port of the Crittenden-Monip-omery substitute, has
been suggested as the basis of union; hoping in the
course of time and the progress of events, that they
may be able to insert oihcr planks, if the American
leaders dare Tick going further in tbat direction
before their southern constituency. That portion
of the American party whose patriotism rises above
the love of party, and who have stood firmly by the
Democracy from the beginning of this Kansss epi
sode, seeing tho irreconcilable divisions that exist
between themselves and the northern wing of tbat I
party, and those of the leaders of toe oeuth, who
shout ia ils train, and who, through the pride of
ambition and hatred to Democracy, would bargain
away our dearest interests, have no alternative lef
them but cither to disfranchise themselves, or act
al once with the Democratic party in resisting the
storm of anti slavery that threatens to desolate the
South in 18C0. You will either have to vole for the
Demoeratio candidate or Black Republican candi
date in the next Presidential election. "Chooso ye
between them." Will they longer blindly follow in
tho lead of such suppliants at the footstool of Abo
litionism! From every city and hamlet the indig
nant and patriotic shout comes up no 1 never 1
k "It Is abase abandonment of reason to resign yourright of
thought."
The American party is totally demoralized. Its
northern end is abolitionizcd, while the southern
wing of it is disintegrated. With this deplorable
pictore staring in the face the honest men of i hat now
defeated and disbanded party, they must decide to
what flag they shall rally; they must either march
in the ranks of that rarty which 't carries the flag,
and keeps step to the music of theConstiltition and the
Union," or they must range themselves under the
black banner of sectionalism and ab litionisrr,
upon which ia written " eternal hatred to the
South." Are you ready lo be lied hand and foot,
and handed over to the embittered foes of your sec
tion! If you would not, I charge you, by the riehts

rebuke and Biience all (pposit cn to the nortnern
Democracy. They Have .fallen like grass; before
the fovlhe in defense of ourr ght" ; and can wo ex
pcot Ihem to ootiMuuc lo offer themselves in the
breach if we will not defend ourselves! But, wllh
the fiotith united, we- will have friends enough in"
the North to meat the fierce contests of abolition
ism in 1800. ncd once more roll lack the tide cf
battle upjn their discomfited and flying leghtssj
Let the uiolto be Written upon your banner, "The'
union of the South for the stke of the South and
for tbe sake of tho Union,"
And nlibongh the Democratic paily Isbeleagurtd
upon the one band in the North, as evidenced in lhe
late elections by a fusion of Republicans and Amer.
icons with a party of efong sympaihizers in the
South, of which Tennessee and Kentucky furnishes
the chief exponent and leading spirits, while on
the ether hand stand opposed lo it, the extremists
of the South, who are ihroatning lo form new polit
ical sssocittions and "Leagua," doubtless with the
viaw of finally precipitating a dissolution of the
Union I mnsi be allowed lo eipressmy entire con
fi It-nco thai the national Democracy, aided by tbe
conservative, men who will naturally gathir about
it and finally eatT into it, and be a part of it, wilt
triumph gloriously triumph over nil these jar
ri.ig factions, and once again safety guide the ship
of State Ibvoug'i the tempesi.ous bi lows that would
Seem to threaten her des ruction. It has been lhe
fa. e of this cret party to meet with revetfes' al
whvs just afor a presidential triumph, and the
wiitknod timid end dis.-ati-tied spit Its, for a time,
seem to abandon ils fortunes. But there is a recu
kjrativo poer and entrjiy in the Democric
masses, am when once again they begin lo get
iu motion, as they always do when any great
crises arises, their success ia certain and over
whelming St, may we not hope llitt tho good genius thai
has fo long watched over and protected aud pre
srvedto die country the Democratic pny. may
sliSI point out tho forbidden paths and continue to
direct us in the way of truth Let no new and fatal
d-'CfriGo be engrafted upon our creed. Let us steer
clear cf gig mtic schemes lo deplete the Treasury
and bankrupt the nailou, by building Pacific rail
roads, and thus set up a monopoly in tbis country,
lo a company whose children's children would sack
(he life-blood of the Republic. Let us avoid high
protective tariffs that eat up the substance of agti
culture, and destroy all incentives to honest indus
try. Lstus return, bb well as the gro will aud ex
pansion and necessarily complicated machinery of
our great coun'ry will allow, to the utmost simplici
ty and economy consistent with the public wetl iu
tbo administration of the government. Let us
guard with a watchful vigil every tttenue leading to
or from this creat political fabric, that no rude hind
shall enter and strike a fa'al blow that will despoil
any of lis fair proportions. Let us peiforra the
high trusts committed to our hands, with a scrupu
lous regara for tho letter of our instructions, attd
return our commissions unsullied to the people
from whence they emanated.
One other wor J, and I conclude. Sir, the South
has a solomn duty lo perform; the duty of rebuking
the spritof lawless aggression and disregard for law
which we see manifested in the recent importation
of Africans to our shores. Were I to-day in favor
of repealing all laws preventing the African slave
trade, I wouid coveflhelesi be opposed to subject
ing the South to the approval of a violition or our
laws and treaties by gising countenance to smug
gling in eargoes of wild Africans I am aware, sir,
that Aboliiionism would be delighted lo make upan
issue with tbe Democracy upon this question. But
that wish will not be graiified. Much as I hate and
leathe this Abolition party, let it come in whatever
shape or form it may, whetherit comes like the dar
ing robber, or noiselessly like the canning and
stealthy approach of lhe ibicf, I declare here lo
day, as a southern man, my unqualified opposition,
as a matter of expedioi cy, to the ie-opniog of the
Africtn slave trade, could it be done legally. Not
that I have any sickly sentiments cf Black Bepub
lican negrophilism that would suggest ils immorali
ty; not that I think it shocking to humani'y and
outraging to the moral sense of Christendom; for I
believe slavery is a moral, social, and political
blessing, aud has done more, and will yet da more,
under Providence, to enlighten, civilize, and Chris
tianize the world, than any hum in institution be-ne-ith
lhe sun. Nor not that I would not as soon
purchase n slave from the King of Dahomey asfron
a Virginia plaster; but I woulddef lore.il on account
of the effect it would have upon the South it
self. If the African slave trado be reopened, northern
cupidity will land then, by the thousand upon our
southern coasts ; soon the South will be overrun
with wild ravages ; our present docile, cmtmted,
happy, and Christian slaves, will either lapse into
barbarism or bo froced to flee from their homes, to
wLich they are now so much attached. Of course
it is viaiooary to suppose that tbis trade will be
opined by any act of Congress repealing the laws
interdicting it; but the duty which tbe South has
to perform, if she would maintain her high position
in tbe cjes of the world, and in her own estimation,
is to promptly frown down all efforts that are being
made, ip. contravention of law, to that end. View
ed politically, the South cau never hope lo-regain
her lost equilibrium ia the coancils of tlie nation
.he ecepLer of power nts departed forever, tiuy,
then, make an impracticable demand, as some lew
cf our southern citizens are u.ing! sir, the South
pUnls herself proudly and fairly upon her constitu
licual rizhts ; and if she fall, she will fall in defense
of right, of tru'h.andher own spotless honor, and
not by the errtr cf ber own aggressions, liie
Democratic party contrtlsthe politics of the south
ern Stales, and it wilf tet lis face against all viola'
tions of law. let them come from any of our people,
Ncnh or Scuta. Ke-pect for law is the first duty of
a free people; disrobe it of its sanctity, anarchy
prevails, and liberty itself is endangered.
