Selections: The Monstrous Alliance--Southern And Northern De...

We happen to know ïhat the monstrous alliance, concocted in Ib3i. between the slaveholders and the leaders of , the Nonhern Democracy. liecame ín progresa of time. extreme' jr irkeeome to sóme of these very lendcrs. Within the laï year symptoms I ave been betrayed in rnany of the free States, of a strong disposition to termínate a compact so fraught -wiih ignorniny andcorrnption. The defence of Mr. Van Bunn on the Texas question. especially. gave ground for the hope tliat the parly was about to redeem itseif from vassalage to the Sorthern ovtrseers. The jreat body of the Nortliern Democrnts sympailiized with theposition of Mr. Van Buren, and no one doubted that tlieir delegntes in the Baltimore Convention wnüld sust'ain him to iho last. But ihe'se.meh proved false to their constituents. instend of representir.g the wishes of those who sent them, ihéy bowed to the mandate of their old masters. Jnstend of maintnining the riylits ¦ind the honor of the Northern '-Democracv," they passed under the yoké themselves, dragginr th-3 whole party with thcm. Once more the Slnve Power vas acknawledged the Supreme Dictntor. nnd the hosts of the so-calied Demoeracy wore marshalled under its orders. This fact we are anxious to keep before our Democratie readers, who constítute a Iarge propörtion of our patrons. We war not nguinst the principies they prvf.iss, but for the ialsifications of those principies, by men aspiring to be their leaders, but acting unuer slaveholding dicta'tipn.For the lost eight years. John C. Calhoun lias been in fact the Iiead of ilieir party: thnt he has beenits bane. they will hardly deny. But, for tour years ionger are they doomed to the sanie leadership. It will bc rrcollected ihat South Carolina sent no formal dulegates to the Convention at Baliiniire. becnnse it was supposed that Mr. Van Buien would be the nominee, and lor other reasnns sntisfaciory to Mr Calhoun; but site had her unofficial ngents there to attend to this gentleman's mieresis. And hnt was their nction. when Mr. Polk was nominnted? Straightway ihey come forwnrd. pledging South Carolina to the cordial support o) the ticket! This spenks trumpet-tongued os to the diameter of that ticket. Listen to thesoagents oí bouih Carolina! "Mr. Pickens, tipon being introduced upon the stiind, made an able address, in which he stated that akhough he was not authorized technically to oppear in the Convention as ao auihenticated and lon!Iy appointed Delégate Ironi South Carolina to cast her voie on this imponant occasion, yet, asa Democrát, as a republican, fapplanse,) knovving the man thia Convention nominoted - standing by him as he had in many a hard fought bittle, he would soy. ircdividually, that he was rendy to respond with his whole henrt nnd soul to die glorious nominaiion. vEnthusinstic applause ) Mr. P. advened to thepowerful and wily enemy the democratie party had to encoünter in Mr. Clay - e.xiolled the characrer. talent6, and opinions oi Col. Polk. and said South Carolina would give her most cordial and hcarty support to him. "Mr. Elmer wns then introduced and expressed in an el"quent speech the deep gmtification which he feit at the result of the .proceedings ol the Convi'inion. and pledged the State of South Carolina without hesitation,for the nomination." - Ohio Stnlcsvinit.The support of such a man m Pickens at once 6tainp8 upou tliat ticket, the ineffacable wand, of Culhoun, Tcxos, and Eternnl Slavery. My good Democratie brothor - did you ever read a öunous speech made by tliis same Mr. Pickens, January Sist, 1836, in the House ol Representativos of the l"nited States? We will quote n few extracta from ft, that you may esti niato the chtiracter of the support to be given to your ticket by Pickens; and obtain soine idea ol tlie nature of the monstrous nlliance again renewed by the Convent ion at Baltimore. Speaking of the aesertion in the Declarntion of Independence, thnt ''All men nrecreatcdequal," 'wtth certain inalieneble righis, &c, he exclaims: "Tkue, it is an abstract Trüth; dut like otuer merk abstkactions, it can have no aciua1. kxistknce." We have been accustorhed to regard the great truths of the Declaration of Independence, ae the foundation of our repubücan institutions. - Somhorn Democxacy begins by üenying these truths. Agnin;- "Look at the French Revolution. Thoy commenced by declaring that all men werc jcrealcd equal; nnd the next grcat solcn.n ncr whb. to decore tliere was no Gou, and that UicBibi-k WAS A LIK.'1 We areto infer from tliis, that southcrn Dcmocracy looki upon tlie Faihcrs of our lïcvolution, asapnsiles of infidehty: that the belief ïti tho natural equalijy fn rights, of the human rncc, iiivolves disbelief in the existonce of a God! AgninrLet no man proclaim universal rrpmli'y as practicallj to bc tvforctd on rarth, tm'r.s.t hv h prejmrcd to appeat lo unircrsal rtoolutim to sustuin ii." Southern Democracy descends in n direct line from the Toryism of J 776. We have n word for our Irlsh Democmts.- Theygo with the Democracy. becnusc of lts pro'essed friendship for the riglits of lbreigfíers: ? and tsaffected regard for the heroic of all hnh who are struggling against oppre?sioi).

This very man, Mr. Pickens. wns haüed with tlie utmost enthusiasm by your Democratie Convention, as being, we suppose, the impersonntion at once of pure Democracy nnd Good VVillto Aliens! And herewemay inention that what is called Nalive Amtrican'ism hnd it0 ongin among siavcholders, and prevaücd in New Orleans long befort it raiaed its head in New York or Pliiladelphia.

In our next weshall continue oiir extracts. to show the esiimate placed by Southern Deir.ocrats on Labor and Capital. The Northei n üemocracy wil be greatly edified by these disclosuj üs, anti tveask ts special atteniion. One remark tnore. The sentirr,ents of Mr. Pickens in 1836, are his sen timen ts, and tl;e sen liments of the slaveholding oligarchy, noto. They dare not disclaim thciTi, if they would. and they would not f they dared. Let no Demoerat delude htmself with ;hc ide;i that the extracts we are mnking from the speech of Mr. Pickens, represent the sentiments of an indiviaual. Mr. Pickens speaks for aclass. nnd thatclass ia composed of slaveholders. Dcmcratic as well a3 Whig. We could iill our paper with quotations from McDuflle, CjUioun. Saunders. Rhett. Stilrs, Holmes, Hammen. Burt. and other poliiiciansof the Democratie pnrty in the South, nnd from the Richmond Enqui: rer. and other lem'ing prin;s of the paily in the same section. They all hold one Iañguage', the sentiments of Mr. Pikens are thcir seiVtímcñVs; md br them the whole Doniocrntic pnrty, North nnd South, since (ho renewal of the ignoniinous compact between the serviles and slaveholder?. must bearthe responsibility.Attenií thcn D the tbllowing prqposition, Iaid down by Mr. Pickcns as universally truc.

"Let no gentlemen," said he, "at the ATonli. start at this truth. ¦ ¦ # All society settles down into nclössiflcatio.n of capimlist and iaborers.
