The Liberator

DISUNION AGAIN.

The Richmond Post, an organ of the Nativists, thus taunts the North with its want of courage, and with its devotion to the interests of trade:

The North never had any sympathy for the South, nor for anything else but the "almighty dollar." If it keeps within the bounds of the Union, it is not because it has any affection for the South, but because it knows that the South is its best customer. If the Union is to be dissolved, the South will have to do it. It will never be done by the North. The Yankees will sit down to count the cost, and by the time they have finished the sum, will "calculate" that it "costs a tarnation sight too much money, any way you can fix it."

So we set down all this vaporing for what it is worth, and that is just nothing at all. When were the Northern States ever known to have any generous sympathy for any portion of the Union, or for any class of people? This very nigger-loving mania is a matter of speculation. They hope, by keeping up the excitement, to get a preponderating vote in Congress, and thus get all the power and all the plunder in their own hands. If there has been civil war, it is due to the emigrant aid societies. If no more slave States are to be admitted, then the Union is at an end. That is all. We shall have to dissolve it ourselves. Yankeedom makes too much money by it ever to undertake the job herself. But we are not afraid of any such catastrophe. The South has the North in its breeches-pocket. It means to have more slave States. It will have them, and the Union will not be dissolved either.
