ee AREER TE EIS AH TESS DRT OE ————— FRIDAY MGWNING, DEC. 21, 1860. Le Gi. Pusow up Acais.—The celebrated Gen. Pillow has beén brought te the surface by the secession movement. Gid. is sure ‘the country is in danger this time, and Gid. is certain thecrisis dermands his statesmanship’ to extricate the hope of mankind from the breakers, and te tenders it witlt a heart full of puttiotisnr, Wnfortunately the chivalric’ general folfows lis ging the ditcl on the wrong side of the old system of dig-. to pe + ee ‘We notice with pain the dictatorial demands of the South in the present crisis of affairs; because, if persisted in, the North must retire in dishonor from the position she has taken or the Union is raptured, or the South must withdraw her claims and prove false to her professions, or the same great calamity must follow. When we speak of the South in this connection we meéun the’ voice of that section as thus far expressed. Ther¢ is a’ still, small voice yet heard whieh may silence the clamors. What are the demands of the South? and brenst-work. His plans of saving the Un-. are they reasonable? The’ voice’ uttered in ion admit of no compromise.

Such is the position assumed by all who have thus far spoken on the Southern side of the question. Mr. Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky, is explicit on this point ; Gov. is equally so. Thesame appears to be the position of all the cotton States. Stephens, of Georgia, in a Inte speech insinuated the same thing. Such Pill Firet.—A Revexve Law—By the pro-. we may safely assert is the forward voice of Visions of which all goods manufactured in the Northern States, and all goods imported through Northern ports, shall be taxed for State purposes, and to the points of prohibition. Pill Second.—Let eaeh Southern State raise, organize, arm and thoroughly drill, ten, twenty the entire secession element. It is plain these views are not entertained by a majority of the people of the Union. The Republican party asserts, and not withor thirty thousand volunteers, and provide an . out the authority of the Constitution backed ample supply of arms and munitions of war of évery kind. This the States also have the ConStitutional right to do. Pill ird.—Let the Southern States all deman¢@ of the Northern a National Convention, for the reconsideration of the question involved century, : eae in the present issue between the North and the . right to legislate for the Territories. South. Let this demand embrace an amendmeat of the Federal Constitution, Pill Fourth.--That no law shall ever be passed by Congress in any way affecting the rights . of property in slaves as it now exists in the Southern States of the United States, except by concurrent vote of the entire Senate. Pl Fifth.—That the common Territories of . the United States now held or boreafter to be Acquired—shall be open to settlement by the . ¢itizens of all the States—that their property of . every species—slayes included—shall be pro. tected by the Federal Government—that neither Congress or any Territorial Legislature, shall . have pewer to pass any law (except to protect . such property) affecting the rights of property in slaves therein—so long as such Territory shall . remain under a Territorial organization. But . that when the people thereof shall form and adopt a Constitution, preparatory to their admission as a State into the Union, they may, in such Convention, settle the question ot Slavery . for themselves as they please. Pill Sirth—That no amendment of the Federal Constitution shall ever be adopted by which any of the rights therein secured to the slaveholder shall bo affected in any way; and that if any Sich amendment shall ever be adopted, it shall be ipso facto a dissolution of the Union of States, thereby remanding each State to its original sovereignty as an independent nation. These taken with a good deal of excellent advice are supposed to be able to work a cure; butif they fuil, Pillow is ready to draw his mighty sword and amputate the diséased Northern member and throw it to the dugs. Analyze the above pills and it will be seen they offer no very palatable or coustitu. fional remedy. They are compounded of} the same ingredients found in all prescriptions made up by the fire-eating quacks, and are revolting to Northern stomachs. Pill First, if administered, would surely impair the Constitution, which does not allow the taxation by one State of the products of another. Pill Second, does not agree with that part of the Constitution Which prohibits a State from keeping up an army and navy except by the consent of Congress. A State may train its militia, but when such training is coupled with a proposed definite warlike object, it becomes another thing. Pill third, demands a ConYention of all the States to settle the issue between the North and the Sotth. Let us stand by tlre compact: we now hare kefore éntering into a new one. Pill Fourth, isa bread pill, given to pander to the prejudices . of the igaorant. There is no party in exFstence that proposes to interfere with slavery where it exists, Pill Fifth is rejected by the entire North “vith s¢arcely an exception, No compromise on that basis can be entered into. It ptoposes an entire submission of the question at issue to the absolute dictation of the extremests who are in a woful minority. Pill Sixth, and last, proposes the establishment of slavery by the General Government—an irrepealable law, like that of the Medes and Persians, not progressive but retrogressive in its character. Such safe guards as the Constitution now grants to slaveholding all good citizens irrespective of party are bound to sacredly regard. But the temper of the public mind will allow hothing more. The propositions of Gen. Pillow can never be aceeded to, they ask an absolute and unconditional surrender by the majority, of the points in dispute, and the indorsement of doctrines the North deems abhorrent to the Constitution as our fathers made it and to the spirit of the age. The North will make any compromise Which will give the people of all sections of the Union the same rights they claim for themselves. The only propositions yet by the words and actions of those statesmen who made it, and the uniform practice of the Government for more than half a that Congress has the power and The Republicans, therefore, deny the assumption of the secessionists, and they are not alone in the denial. The Douglas wing of the Democratic party asserts the right of the people in Territories to make their own laws. If honest in their professions the Douglas Democracy are as much opposed to the demands of the South as the Republicans. Besides these two parties thousanda of the Bell and Breckinridge supporters in the Free States do not sympathize in the doctrines dogmatically asserted in the cotton States. The aspect of the controversy is that of a handful of men, a very small minority, demanding what is regarded by the vast majority of the people irrespective of party, as not granted in the Constitution. The demand is made by the few in the face of the party platforms and professions of the many. Can these demands be honorably acceeded to? It is impossible. The Republicans cannot submit to the dictation of a few while the recognition of the power of Congress over slavery in Territories lasts. The Douglas men will not so stultify themselves as to allow one man to destroy their favorite doctrine of popular sovereignty when the people have declared their wishes with regard to slavery. How, then, are these demands of the secessionists to be met? Is there any common middle ground on which all may come harmoniously together? We confess our inability to see it if any such exists. The Constitution and the laws of the land should be executed at any sacrifice. While the Fugitive Slave Law remains upon the statute books of the nation it should be observed, and all restrictions upon its execution by the individual Staies should be removed. This much the Republicans are willing as a perty te concede. But how they can agreein the teeth of the party principles to allow a lone slayeholder, in defiance of the people and the prohibitions of climate to take his offensive property into Nebraska and force the Government of the United States to protect him there in his so-called rights, we, for one, cannot see. Neither do we expect the stultification of the Douglas Democracy necessary to permit so wanton an assumption. It cannot be. Great as is the attachment of the Free States to the Union, and frequent as have been the submissions of the North to the demands of the South in the past, we have yet a better opinion of the section from which we came than to belive there is again to be the basest of all surrenders. Wherever there is right let it be maintained.— Not indeed in trivial affairs need there be extreme punctillio. But when great principle are at stake, let our motto be—“ fiat Justicia, ruat caclum.” Against the principles of Mr. Lincoln we would not make a siggle concession. He is for the vigorous execution of all the laws of the United States; he is not pledged to the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law; he will not intermeddle with the institution of because . slavery where it exists; he would admit a new slave State into the Union; and is not, while believing in the right of Congress to legislate for Territories, unwilling to allow the people to make their own laws in all cases where the interests of the nation are not to suffer, These principles ought to be satisfactory to all sections. We have the faith to believe that with the exception of the discontented spirits who are to be demade by the South for an adjustment of prived of the spoils of office, these princidifferences require conditions to which the people of the North cannot conscientiously submit without a virtual surrender of all their rights in the Territories of the United States. There was once an understood division of the Territorics to satisfy both sections of the Union. The South repealed the Missouri Compromise, broke the compact and now demands a sovereign voice in the share given to the North; What assurance have we that the next step will not be a demand fer the protection of their particular property in the Free States of the Union? One encroachment forebodes another. Way witt ye Lis, O, Housz or Israrn ?— It is reported that an agreement existed between the Republican electors to send Pico, one of their number, to Washington as messenger, earrying the vote of the State, but on meeting, Washburn and Weeks made an agreement.to divide the spoils,and Weeks was sent instead of Pico. Who owns the lie. ples which are to form the basis of the policy of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration will be satisfactory to all when the sober, second thought shall be taken. Sov. G.

It may enlighten some who are exercised about the course he intends to pursue when he comes to power: “ You Democrats greatly fear that the success of the Republicans will destroy the Union. Why? Do tie Republicans declare against the Union? Nothing like It. Your own statement of it is, that if the Black Republicans elect a President you wont stand it! You will break up the Union. That will be your act, not ours. To justify it, you must show that our policy gives you just cause for such desperate action. Can you deny that? When you attempt it you will find that our policy is exactly the policy of the men who made the Union, nothing more, or nothing less. Do you think you are justified to break up the government rather than have it administered by Washington, and other good and great men who madeit? If you do, you are very unreasonable, and more reasonable men cannot and will not submit to you. While we elect a President, it will be our duty to see that you submit. Old John Brown has been hung for treason against a State. We cannot object though slavery is wrong. That cannot excuse violence, bloodshed and treason. It could avail him vothing that he might think himself right. So, if constitutionally we elect a President, and therefore you undertake to destroy the Union, it will be our duty to deal with you as Old John Brown was dealt with. We can only do our duty. We hope and believe that in no section will a majority so act as to render extreme measures necessary.” A Dank Knieut.—the papers say the Queen of England has conferred the honor of knight hood upon a Jamaica negro. named Edward Jordan, the son of a man who kept a swectmeat and pickle shop.

ee AREER TE EIS AH TESS DRT OE ————— FRIDAY MGWNING, DEC. 21, 1860. Le Gi. Pusow up Acais.—The celebrated Gen. Pillow has beén brought te the surface by the secession movement. Gid. is sure ‘the country is in danger this time, and Gid. is certain thecrisis dermands his statesmanship’ to extricate the hope of mankind from the breakers, and te tenders it witlt a heart full of puttiotisnr, Wnfortunately the chivalric’ general folfows lis ging the ditcl on the wrong side of the old system of dig-. to pe + ee ‘We notice with pain the dictatorial demands of the South in the present crisis of affairs; because, if persisted in, the North must retire in dishonor from the position she has taken or the Union is raptured, or the South must withdraw her claims and prove false to her professions, or the same great calamity must follow. When we speak of the South in this connection we meéun the’ voice of that section as thus far expressed. Ther¢ is a’ still, small voice yet heard whieh may silence the clamors. What are the demands of the South? and brenst-work. His plans of saving the Un-. are they reasonable? The’ voice’ uttered in ion admit of no compromise. Re insists or . that section is for an equality of rights, by digging the diteh just where he wants it.—} which is meant the right of a slaveholder The millions of thé North shall have noth-. to take his slaves into any Territory of the ing to’ say im the matter, but “well done” . tnited States and hold them there in spite after the work is completed.

The slaveholder demands the liberty to Wretrent of the larger army in which he. thwart singly and alone the wishes of every helda no conmmtission and to whick he has . other citizen of a Territory. This is what not been dnrolled as a private. he calls an equality of rights. He declares It is a new wrinkle in the tactics of gen-. the Constitution ef the United States recerals, but General Pillow has established a . ognizes property in slaves, and he demands reputation for originality in the art of war which wit! last body. tn pith phrase; General Pillow bas come forward with a busis of séttfément for the difficulties now existing in the Union, in a communication to the Nashville Patriot, dated only six days after the election, at Maury coanty, Tennessee. The 1emedy for the evils under which the South is suffering . Brown, of G eorgia, tay be properly styled ‘“ Pillow’s Patent Preservative Pills,” and to be swallowed in him longer than his warlike . that instrument. protection to such property by virtue of He denies the power of Congress, the Verritorial Legislature, or the people, to interfere with his rights as he undé¥stands them. Such is the position assumed by all who have thus far spoken on the Southern side of the question. Mr. Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky, is explicit on this point ; Gov. is equally so. Thesame appears to be the position of all the cotton States. Stephens, of Georgia, in a Inte speech insinuated the same thing. Such Pill Firet.—A Revexve Law—By the pro-. we may safely assert is the forward voice of Visions of which all goods manufactured in the Northern States, and all goods imported through Northern ports, shall be taxed for State purposes, and to the points of prohibition. Pill Second.—Let eaeh Southern State raise, organize, arm and thoroughly drill, ten, twenty the entire secession element. It is plain these views are not entertained by a majority of the people of the Union. The Republican party asserts, and not withor thirty thousand volunteers, and provide an . out the authority of the Constitution backed ample supply of arms and munitions of war of évery kind. This the States also have the ConStitutional right to do. Pill ird.—Let the Southern States all deman¢@ of the Northern a National Convention, for the reconsideration of the question involved century, : eae in the present issue between the North and the . right to legislate for the Territories. South. Let this demand embrace an amendmeat of the Federal Constitution, Pill Fourth.--That no law shall ever be passed by Congress in any way affecting the rights . of property in slaves as it now exists in the Southern States of the United States, except by concurrent vote of the entire Senate. Pl Fifth.—That the common Territories of . the United States now held or boreafter to be Acquired—shall be open to settlement by the . ¢itizens of all the States—that their property of . every species—slayes included—shall be pro. tected by the Federal Government—that neither Congress or any Territorial Legislature, shall . have pewer to pass any law (except to protect . such property) affecting the rights of property in slaves therein—so long as such Territory shall . remain under a Territorial organization. But . that when the people thereof shall form and adopt a Constitution, preparatory to their admission as a State into the Union, they may, in such Convention, settle the question ot Slavery . for themselves as they please. Pill Sirth—That no amendment of the Federal Constitution shall ever be adopted by which any of the rights therein secured to the slaveholder shall bo affected in any way; and that if any Sich amendment shall ever be adopted, it shall be ipso facto a dissolution of the Union of States, thereby remanding each State to its original sovereignty as an independent nation. These taken with a good deal of excellent advice are supposed to be able to work a cure; butif they fuil, Pillow is ready to draw his mighty sword and amputate the diséased Northern member and throw it to the dugs. Analyze the above pills and it will be seen they offer no very palatable or coustitu. fional remedy. They are compounded of} the same ingredients found in all prescriptions made up by the fire-eating quacks, and are revolting to Northern stomachs. Pill First, if administered, would surely impair the Constitution, which does not allow the taxation by one State of the products of another. Pill Second, does not agree with that part of the Constitution Which prohibits a State from keeping up an army and navy except by the consent of Congress. A State may train its militia, but when such training is coupled with a proposed definite warlike object, it becomes another thing. Pill third, demands a ConYention of all the States to settle the issue between the North and the Sotth. Let us stand by tlre compact: we now hare kefore éntering into a new one. Pill Fourth, isa bread pill, given to pander to the prejudices . of the igaorant. There is no party in exFstence that proposes to interfere with slavery where it exists, Pill Fifth is rejected by the entire North “vith s¢arcely an exception, No compromise on that basis can be entered into. It ptoposes an entire submission of the question at issue to the absolute dictation of the extremests who are in a woful minority. Pill Sixth, and last, proposes the establishment of slavery by the General Government—an irrepealable law, like that of the Medes and Persians, not progressive but retrogressive in its character. Such safe guards as the Constitution now grants to slaveholding all good citizens irrespective of party are bound to sacredly regard. But the temper of the public mind will allow hothing more. The propositions of Gen. Pillow can never be aceeded to, they ask an absolute and unconditional surrender by the majority, of the points in dispute, and the indorsement of doctrines the North deems abhorrent to the Constitution as our fathers made it and to the spirit of the age. The North will make any compromise Which will give the people of all sections of the Union the same rights they claim for themselves. The only propositions yet by the words and actions of those statesmen who made it, and the uniform practice of the Government for more than half a that Congress has the power and The Republicans, therefore, deny the assumption of the secessionists, and they are not alone in the denial. The Douglas wing of the Democratic party asserts the right of the people in Territories to make their own laws. If honest in their professions the Douglas Democracy are as much opposed to the demands of the South as the Republicans. Besides these two parties thousanda of the Bell and Breckinridge supporters in the Free States do not sympathize in the doctrines dogmatically asserted in the cotton States. The aspect of the controversy is that of a handful of men, a very small minority, demanding what is regarded by the vast majority of the people irrespective of party, as not granted in the Constitution. The demand is made by the few in the face of the party platforms and professions of the many. Can these demands be honorably acceeded to? It is impossible. The Republicans cannot submit to the dictation of a few while the recognition of the power of Congress over slavery in Territories lasts. The Douglas men will not so stultify themselves as to allow one man to destroy their favorite doctrine of popular sovereignty when the people have declared their wishes with regard to slavery. How, then, are these demands of the secessionists to be met? Is there any common middle ground on which all may come harmoniously together? We confess our inability to see it if any such exists. The Constitution and the laws of the land should be executed at any sacrifice. While the Fugitive Slave Law remains upon the statute books of the nation it should be observed, and all restrictions upon its execution by the individual Staies should be removed. This much the Republicans are willing as a perty te concede. But how they can agreein the teeth of the party principles to allow a lone slayeholder, in defiance of the people and the prohibitions of climate to take his offensive property into Nebraska and force the Government of the United States to protect him there in his so-called rights, we, for one, cannot see. Neither do we expect the stultification of the Douglas Democracy necessary to permit so wanton an assumption. It cannot be. Great as is the attachment of the Free States to the Union, and frequent as have been the submissions of the North to the demands of the South in the past, we have yet a better opinion of the section from which we came than to belive there is again to be the basest of all surrenders. Wherever there is right let it be maintained.— Not indeed in trivial affairs need there be extreme punctillio. But when great principle are at stake, let our motto be—“ fiat Justicia, ruat caclum.” Against the principles of Mr. Lincoln we would not make a siggle concession. He is for the vigorous execution of all the laws of the United States; he is not pledged to the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law; he will not intermeddle with the institution of because . slavery where it exists; he would admit a new slave State into the Union; and is not, while believing in the right of Congress to legislate for Territories, unwilling to allow the people to make their own laws in all cases where the interests of the nation are not to suffer, These principles ought to be satisfactory to all sections. We have the faith to believe that with the exception of the discontented spirits who are to be demade by the South for an adjustment of prived of the spoils of office, these princidifferences require conditions to which the people of the North cannot conscientiously submit without a virtual surrender of all their rights in the Territories of the United States. There was once an understood division of the Territorics to satisfy both sections of the Union. The South repealed the Missouri Compromise, broke the compact and now demands a sovereign voice in the share given to the North; What assurance have we that the next step will not be a demand fer the protection of their particular property in the Free States of the Union? One encroachment forebodes another. Way witt ye Lis, O, Housz or Israrn ?— It is reported that an agreement existed between the Republican electors to send Pico, one of their number, to Washington as messenger, earrying the vote of the State, but on meeting, Washburn and Weeks made an agreement.to divide the spoils,and Weeks was sent instead of Pico. Who owns the lie. ples which are to form the basis of the policy of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration will be satisfactory to all when the sober, second thought shall be taken. Sov. G.

It may enlighten some who are exercised about the course he intends to pursue when he comes to power: “ You Democrats greatly fear that the success of the Republicans will destroy the Union. Why? Do tie Republicans declare against the Union? Nothing like It. Your own statement of it is, that if the Black Republicans elect a President you wont stand it! You will break up the Union. That will be your act, not ours. To justify it, you must show that our policy gives you just cause for such desperate action. Can you deny that? When you attempt it you will find that our policy is exactly the policy of the men who made the Union, nothing more, or nothing less. Do you think you are justified to break up the government rather than have it administered by Washington, and other good and great men who madeit? If you do, you are very unreasonable, and more reasonable men cannot and will not submit to you. While we elect a President, it will be our duty to see that you submit. Old John Brown has been hung for treason against a State. We cannot object though slavery is wrong. That cannot excuse violence, bloodshed and treason. It could avail him vothing that he might think himself right. So, if constitutionally we elect a President, and therefore you undertake to destroy the Union, it will be our duty to deal with you as Old John Brown was dealt with. We can only do our duty. We hope and believe that in no section will a majority so act as to render extreme measures necessary.” A Dank Knieut.—the papers say the Queen of England has conferred the honor of knight hood upon a Jamaica negro. named Edward Jordan, the son of a man who kept a swectmeat and pickle shop.
