"o atc naAsheu, py paipaDle deln0nStrati0n,
that by precedent we have no right to exact
isbcr and subsistence by legislation, or when
ever 1t can be established that no individual
or class has claimed and received protection
through the action of government, then, and
not until then, shall we listen to species of
sophfstry that Is as insulting to our self re-
spect as disgusting to our intelligence and
discrimination.
We might multiply quotations of a similar
character, but these will suffice. Is there q
single reader who is not reminded, by these
scenes, of the crowds that besieged the
French Convention at Versailles, in the
reign of Louis 10th, and surrounded the roy
al palace, demanding bread! That frantic
and clamorous multitude, among the earliest
demonstrations of the Revolutionary mania,
seems to have risen from the dead and re as
sembled in the streets of New York. At all
events, their spirit is alive and laundering at
the door of the Common Council and the Le-
gislature of New York Ahundred thousand
workmen in New York out of employment,
in fear of famine, and demanding aid from
the government, whilst abolition editors
preachers and party hacks in that city are
pouring forth daily anathemas upon the evils,
the expressions, the sufferings and insecurity
Of the social system of the South
At this very moment, whilst Labor and
| Capital are ct sword points in the non slave
| holding States, whilst multitudes ofworkmen
there are on the verge of starvation, and as
| Stunning an attitude which threatens to upturn
| the very foundations of Northern society;
whilst the danger from this source is one
| which must return with every return of those
| 'pressures, so frequent in the absence of q
| stable financial system, the slandered South
exhibits one vast and beautiful picture of
| universal plenty and content. Whilst the
| Park of New York is crowded with laborers
clamoring for employment, Southern slave
| labor commands higher price than at any
former period! Whilst famine broods, with
raven wings, over a hundred thousand work
men in the city of New York, there is not a
single slave in all the Southern States, who
knows what it is, who ever knew what it
was to want food and lodging; or who now
has, or ever did have, single apprehension
of future want. Financial ruin may stalk
abroad over the earth, but the whirlwind that
topples down the mighty palace is not even
felt in the lowly cabin Of the slave, or if its
inmates hear the rushing sound, it only adds
to their own sense of comfort and security.
We invoke calm and rejecting Northern men
to contemplate this picture and to consider if
the social system of the South is the unmixed
evil which they have been taught to regard
