Here are the several pictures. Look at them all.
First: the happy condition Of the negro in the
Southern States. Second: the miserable condi-

are factr--stern, incontroyerthle, and undeniable
fixed facts. This is what the negro now IL.

arms, and see this work begun in our
midst! What are the designs of these men
To have immediate emancipation, OF disunion--to
incite the negroes of the Southern States TO rise
upon their masters, TO butcher them in cold blood
to violate and their wives, and sisters and
daughters, a. the innocent victims Of negro brutal
ity TO scatter fire, rapine and murder all through
the South. The interests, the prosperity. and the
happiness of the South tied up in the destiny of
New York and the North. Her safety, her securi-
~, is part of our own. Her white men, her white
women, are cur own flesh and blood. In ten
thousand cases they are our fathers, brothers,
husbands sons, mothers, sisters, wives, daughters;
and if they perish by the mad acts of fanacisn,
our heart-strings are cut too.
Now is the time for New York to express an
opinion in favor of the Union and the constitution.
Let whole population turn out and declare their
devotion to that instrument Let the merchant, whose
fortunes interviewer with the South leave his
counng-room or his store, and 60 forth in sup
port of his rights. Let the mechanic, the laborer
and every honest citizen who values the honor Of
the city and the safety Of his race, leave his work
for two days, and devote them to his
country, TO humanity, and the safety of his fellow
man in another section. Let the mad fanatcism
which would cover this country with blood, be re-
buked and silcnced, 10y the force of manly, or
DERBY and peaceably expressed public opinion. AT
this crisis, the voice of New York could breathe
calm and peace upon the troubled waves that are
rolling over the South, and which, in their rclux,

them-that we will not permit any set of men
in our mids, incte their slaves to instruction,
TO murder, 10 rapne, without opposition and re-
probation. Let the Union be preserved, against the
threats and madness of all black, all mulatto, all
colored, all white conventions of disunionsts and
traitors TO the constitution.
NICARAGUA NEGOTIATIONS AND SIR HENRY L. |
BrLwER. This publication of Sir Henry Balwere
