humble writer knows to the contrary the adventurous
Northwest" received his superior Enlightenment
II however, "Northwest" 10 . friend Of the Union
and Of the Republic let him cease to wound the feelings
and derogate from that class in the South Of whom he
speaks in such contemptuous terms BY such course
Of conduct the part OF those who as matter OF right
have nothing do with State affairs instead Of
citing the jealousies and lwil between the different
classes alluded to- he may insult BOTH flor both classes
alike slandered and thereby unite them in feelings
Of hatred and hostility to the noble North Let him re
member that the wronged and insulted South
is Of the strongest and most durable sheetanchors
Of the Republic
In the Southern States we hear nothing Of the n-os
or the strikes for higher wages We hear Of no appeal on
the part Of the poor aborng classes to capitalists owning
not owning slaves for the removing Of any wrong or
disability the effect Of which to degrade put down
the poor things" amiably alluded to by "North-
vest The elements composing the Southern States
by Of disordery character. There is to say
the least, much quietude harmony and goodwill TO
be found even to include the ensayed African II let
alone by mschieyous Intermediates from abroad can
be pointed in any Of the Northern States and
all Of us here of every class know the fact that
general and almost universal rule, there is not an every
day aborng population within the bounds Of their know
ledge earth who better fed or better taken care
in youth and in old age in health and in sickness than
are the ensayed Africans Of this country. This is the
natural result of the deep interest Of the owner in their
weldoing interest which is not felt toward the poor

pecunary interest the worst and most to be dreaded
of all the different systems Of slavery 1t to be hoped
that the friends Of freedom and of what they call human
rights in Northern States will be able to guard the
poor laborng white population Of their own respective
sections against such slavery as this.
A few words more in regard to the condition Of the
poor laboring whites Of the saveholding States What

marriage Of his beloved daughter to young man OF merit

of suffrage because he slaves Is he not elig
BILE any of the Offices of honor Of profit known
to the Constitution Does he not in fact FILL to say the
least in fair and full proportion, any one Of those ofces
to which his aspirations may lead him? Does he not sit
in courts of justice, civil and criminals magistrate
bery-before whom the and anti slave owner
bring disputed pecuniary settlement
Does he not fill the Offices Of Representative in the Legis
ature of the State in the Congress Of the United States
We find him in high command In the militia and military
SERVICE in all the various executive offices, to the first

raj rule he is directly connected by marriage otherwise
with the slave-owner his family He knows that in
this country he will be cherished respected beloved
coring to his merits. And whenever the day arrives
(Which God forbid that he has determine whether to

free SOIL matter where from, they will be found in solid
and patriotic phalanx side by side with the owner of
slaves in support Of that emanaon of virtue of WISDOM
