fC5> Richie was again out upon A BOLTON YES
terdsy. Il is cruel In the Southern people to D.
preeia,e 30 lightly his interchangeable labors upon
that subject. and to symps,hise so little with his
trightful spprehsnsions. The Atolitionsts are no.
'oriously declining in numbers, wranglng and di.
sided among themselves, and to the conviction OF
all wise men, are kept UP only by the notice taken
OF them. Let them alone; treat them with the con-
tempt that their numbers and fanstici.m deserve;
and few years would eonsign them to oblivion
Distinguish them " h Southern attention--honour
them by showing fear Of them-incite and stimulate
them by railing against them and there is a pos
sioifs in time, Of forcing them into something for
midable.
what can exceed the folly Of chronicng all
their mad donesl who cares il they marry NO
eroes, II such be their taste, establish Colleges,
Us 1t surely is their right, if they choose thus un.
probably to spend their money!
Why should Mr.. Richie lie so excessively bor-
nhed at Bnney ard others, eon,ending "for the in
herent siniulness Of slavery" when he, himself in
his Southampton panic, and subsequently, express
cd not very dissimilar opinions; ard when Jeff,r.
son, himself, thought "all men 10y nature free and
equal" and was strong sboliiionist os any Of
theml Tut, man--it is folly, ALL Let the Abo-
naticsl portion Of them numbers but few ,hors.
Hnds IN i6 millions of people, and We will give you
as security, Southern gallan,ry, which knows and
dares defend its rights, they shall hur, hair Of
| your head.
Like our friend of the Charlottesville Advocate
we confess ourselves sickcncd death at this eter
nal cuckoo note OF Abolition. The dose is repeat-
cd de die in diem, until the powers OF endurance are
worn thread-bare. We krow il TO lie the worst
possible policy for the South TO betrny ears which
no less disgrace its manhood than encourage the e.
forts of the Fanatics. We know, moreover. that
the hypocrisy Of the Enquirer exceeds in this matter
It's folly and weakness; for the end and object Of
this Abolition songis but to promote the views o.
party. Examine any and every Abolition dish that
Is served up in the Enquirer and the critical reader
Will discover tina, the purpose is 10 incense the South
against the Northern wings, and TO unite il in
crusade against Gen. Harrison's Administration, on
the ground of his having teen brought into power
by the votes of the Abolitonists Of New York and
Ohio. While il affects the utmost agitation and
alarm al the Vaccinations of those powerless Fa-
natics, the whole scheme is to prejudice the Wing
party by insinuatng 1t TO be in the North at least
the ally and comrade of Abolitionsm Can Their
be a iouer libel than this2 Would any other than
the case-hartened Jesuit W no conducts that uncan-
did print, affect TO identity the Wings and Abolition
lists, or TO assume that there was the slightest con.
nection between the objects and principles of the
two parties1 That there are Wings who are Abo.
litionis's, is certainly ue-but not equally true
that there are Loco Focos who are Abolitionists7-
II Mr. Slade is Wing, is not Gov. Morton Loco
Focol The grossest injustice is done by the kn-
quirer TO the great body of the Northern whss,
and none know it better than he who infcts it
Never did People in the mass behave more honor
ably or better than have the People Of the North on
this subject of Abolition. The South owes them
love and gratitude. They have frowned down the
Northumberland them down from regard for
their Southern brethren.
Let them however not judge of the feelings and
sentiments Of the Southern people, by what thew
hear through the Enquirer. 1t does not in this mat
ter represent hAHSful of the Country. Its own
readers are nauseated with the perpetual crv Of
Abolition, and sensible that il is bu, the trick of
bafied politician to create disturbance by which
he may benefit.
The North we think, may rest assured, that the
South at large are grateful for its cooperation a.
ganst the Abolitionsts, and that the Southern Peo
pie do not care hs for them or their schemes.
