They must learn the policy and the purposes ot

this crusade against them-and properly to do this
they must keep an eye on the Free-so press, and

either to comprehend his own true interests, or
properly to maintain them. Unmoged and unde-
tered by such clamors come from what source
they may, or prompted by whatever motives, we
intend to keep the Southern people advised of the
real position of the enemy: and to do this we
know of no better way than to give them full
survey of the hostile camp and sight of the field
orders of its generals.
One of the most striking and significant of these
we append, from the New York Tribune Of Mon
day las--calling especial attention to the passa-
ges italicised. The article is evidently written
with great care, and presents programme which
will probably indicate the course to be pursued by
the Free-soilers in the event Of the continued ac
quiescence Of the South in the operation Of the
spoiation bills or the delay of action on the part
of Il aresuitrtc and ready South CaTO11na. The
Tribune editor has evidently prepared his article
after careful perusal OF the ''g lorious Union
speeches of Mr.. WEBSTER and the F'Whig i'd
7isaistration 10 whom he piously returns
.thanks'' foa Cheating the South on the main
question the introduction of new slaveholding
States.
He also declares the threat of dissolvng the
Union to be ga senSeless warning even as those
gentlemen, and their Southern satellites, Wing
and Democratic, from COBB down the descending
scale FooTE, and from TooMBs lower still to the
to regard it.
This coincidence of sentiment-this holy horror
of disunionists, and wholesale abuse of them by
the great Abolition organ of the North, and the
submission leaders of the South, is worthy of re-
fection, If not OF comment.
1t is one of the most pregnant reasons why GER
tain Southern politicians so strenuously urge the
impropriety of republishing the articles contained
in Abolition papers, for therein, as in mirror,
h. Of he
of their own doctrines and policy. The fraud and
folly of the submission stage thunder about making
the repeal of the Fugitive slave law test question,
and an issue for resistance, are also exposed by
the admission made by this chief of Abolitionists,
that ''that law is destined to remain the statute
book and the reasons given are conclusive in fa-
vor of such pelicy the part of that faction,
and conhrmatory of the assertions we have made
so often on that subject.
Referring our readers, therefore; to the whole
scope and tenor of this Free esoil manifesto, which
is well worthy of their closest scrutiny and most
serious reflection, we append the summing up of
It's conclusions the close of its article, condensng
much into small space:
"And noW that tbs agitation is substantially
over for the present, at least We may express our
conviction that 1t has been a most usefuI thing. 1t

From the Neac York Tribune Of Monday last.
RUNAWAY SLAvEs.--It has lattery been said
again and again, that the South would dissolve the
Union if fugitive slaves were not sent back when
called for. On the other hand we have heard,
rather indirectly than directly, indeed, great
deal of large party at the North which would
dissolve the Union, at least, do everything pos
sible toward it if they were sent back. Neither of
these assertions or implications is true Let US
| look at the facts.
We presume there are great many honest
hearted and weak headed gentlemen IN slave States
who are in condition of intense nervous excite
ment about slavery, who in fact, are ready to faint
when the word is pronounced with the accent OF
froebarn lins These gentlemen regard the end OF
tbo uorld as close at hand, and no doubt hurry on
