THE YANKEE BLADE.

{ The last Yankee Blade notices the opposition man
iested to the Fugitive Slave Law in Boston, and says
the people there ought to submit to the law while
it stands.'' Without quoting much of the Blades
article, il is sufficient to say that that paper is deter
mined stand by the law, but it is evident from its
that it would like to see it essentially modified
or repealed. After hitting the Georgans (kngh'
and Hughes) on one side and the Abolitionsts the
other. the Editors says:
But let do better. Let get up subscrip-
ton to ransom this refugee, should he really belong
to those who claim him. This will show our love of
the slave and hatred of slavery emphaticay as
il we had spat in the faces of mistaken brothers
of the South. and broken up the Union. Let US not
be mistaken in saying all this. NE hale the siaUe

We would not have slave to till our ground,
| To carry US, to fan while we sleep,
And tremble when wake. for all the gold
That sipews houg int and sold have ever earned.
We argue this matter as We do, not that we love
the slave the less, but that love America more =!

Out at last We have been observing the Blade
for time, and generally it has /" behaved itself"
reasonably we'll this Slavery question but the tide
of Boston hatred to the South has at last moved
upon its edge,'' and it cuts" its Southern patrons
most unkindy'' If the Editors of that print hate
the slave system - 'deeply," they ought not to
count on Southern money earned by thHse I" sinews
bought and sold. The cause of the South is just.
and we want no chickcn-heared, sentimental friends
like the Blade. Let him quote Cowper and (" hate "
Slavery much as he pleases, but let him do it on

Southern patrons of this concern will once pay up
and STOP Cut him off, he that is for is
against u.s. The man who gives US Cons,tu-
tional rights grudgingly, whose sympathies are
with escaped slaves, deserves neither conf
dence or patronage. f.t-l.

The South has been driven back inch by inch, on
this question until she stands with her back to
the wall. She acquiesces in what has been done,
because she is devoted to the Union ii ought 10 be,
and because she still hopes chow faint hope!) for
better feelings and better times. She acquesces also,
