NORTHERN FANATICIsM.

NORTHERN FANATICESM.
In our last number we endeavored to show the
course of Southern Uliraism; its effect upon the
country the peace and perpetuity Of the Union That

public, and the utter destruction of all the hopes off
the friends of liberty throughout the world On the
other hand there is of misguided fanatics at the
North, whose very nature is faBaticlsm. 1t Is the
food which has nurtured them. II is the diet upon
which they live They made up of Socialists, In
fdels and theoretic if not practical Imagination
lists. They in favor of holding all property in
common, repudiate the Bible, talk of humility and
meekness, yet denounce the precepts of The Man of
Sorrows " preach the doctrine of equality among the
races, and declare that white man is good
niger, if he behaves himself well. This is the
root from which Northern Abolition has sprung. 1t
originates in the infde principle, that the Almighty
is incapable of protecting the work of his own hands
Into this church has been drawn many honest sincere
and confding Christians-men whose hearts are filed
with the milk of human kndness-and that kind of
universal philanthropy which would elevate the Hin
doo the Hottenot, and the Bushman from the interior
Of Africa to the level with himself in the social and
political world, and who honestly believe that as God
created the lower orders of the human Species to de-
nv their equality is to mady rush upon the ''thck
bosses Of Jehovah's buckler." With this latter class
we rather sympathse than condemn them. But there
is still another Glass; the disappointed politicians,
who conceive that they have been neglected by their
party. Disappointed ambition has ranked around
their gangrened hearts, until, blind with fury, had

sought shelter within its walls. This party was at
first a small insignificant faction headed by William
LLOYD Garrison of Boston. In 1910, they cast few
votes the Presidential election. In 1874 they had
a regularly organized ticket, with James g. Birney
of Michigan for President, and Thomas Morris Of
Ohio for Vice President. In l64S they had great
cessions their party from the ranks of the two
great political parties that had existed from the oun
dalton of the republic; the federallsts modern
wings, and the democrats. Wings Disguised and dis
appointed at the nomination of Gen. Taylor, and
Democrats who had never supported the Administra-
tion of Mr.. Polk because he had supplaned Mr.. Van
Buren, who had for four long years been nursing their
wrath sought occasion to separate themselves from
their brethren, and to rush into the arms of Northern
AbolifiOnism-not for the purpose of succeeding in
the coming election but to crafty their malignant
yenge, and it'll their impious hands pull down
that which they had helped to erect. The portals Of
the church were crowded with new converts. Lloyd
Garrison who had been the big dog in the pen was
completely oversIaughed and he and few of his fol-
lowers quietly sneaked out. But the thnned ranks
were soon more than filed BY new accessiOns. This
motley crew assembled at Buffalo, and laid platform
broad and wide upon which wings and democrats, alb
olitionsts and land reformers Liberty men and mig
gers could all stand This great gathering nominal
ted Martin Van Buren, for President, and Charles F.
Adams for Vice President Into their great political
ark they invited ''both of fowl and cattle. and oi
beasts and of every creeping thing that creepeth up
on the earth, and every man." Under the spacious
and high sounding motios-'free speech, free soil
and free men, they went into the conflict; and the
only result produced the one they desired, the
election Of Gen. Taylor, Shareholder of Louisiana
TO the Presidency. Freedom is a beautiful word. i
