We will not insinuate that there is any understanding
or concert between northern and southern fanatics TO the
effect that they are to cooperate in their efforts to accom-
plish the object of dsunion On the contrary we VIII not
dispute that the hostility between these utraiss is as Bit
PioNiT'N-
at the same time the less true that they are ma
king their respective ultrasms available for the purpose
which is common to both-he overthrow Of the federal
Union The southern fanatic dwels upon the violence
and the bitterness the aboonst for the purpose Of ex
citing the southern people hostility against the North
and in that way TO build up purely sectional an-nort
ern party at the South The northern aboonst resorts
to similar means of swelling the ranks of the ant-southern
that whilst northern ana
southern fanatics find language strong enough to
express their detesaon of each other yet they cooperate
as eectuay in their warfare upon the Union as a their
movements were the results of concert and consultation.
Amongst the northern journals which have sought noto
rety of late by the violence their denunciaons of the
South the New York Times would be prominent but for
the inherent inpotency of its attacks 1t has the WILL but
not the ability make itself competitor of the New York
Tribune and the Evening Post in the yruence with which
it abors ember the people of the two sections against
each other late number of the Times contained the fol-
lowing which is as infamous anaiicsm any thing that
ever dseraced the columns Of the Tribune:
owe have spoken if blood nust be shed the ground
Of Kansas We do how it be avoided Our New
England and northern who have quietly settled there
brawers they do not love the night But they nave
the blood them which poured like water on Bun
ke Hill in defence of the feemans rights to choose his
rulers. They will rally around the ballot box against the
bue party their fathers did against the sol
dier Chareses and Georges And they not
when once contest easily give it up. this yran
nica usurpation proceeds there bereconoa cannot
be helped Every eeState in the Territory is begin
ming to Them those wild, distant prares, near
the forest will be fought again the old battle
between freedom and despotism- slavery and
American freedom will have the first hostile meeting. 1t Is
an awful thing to doto meet brethren with the bloody
hand; but be done for The of
the free States be driven from the inaenable rights
it; We informed that
from northwestern free States brave pledged
forth and stand by this little vanguard Of freedom
II the thing blows Such contest horrible to
would be fearful for the South TO light the fires
internal their borders would endanger slave
property, wherever it is held.
aLet us hope that wise couases and returning Of
Justice may prevent any such collision and that Kansas may
be left to work ont its own destiny"
When Senator Sumner in of his speeches in Boston,
had exhausted himself in his appeals to those feelings an
prejudices passions of Massachusetts audience cal
culated to excite them TO violence and boodshcd, he
sought shelter himself from tie iniamy Of his counses
by hypocriically reminding them that he connseled
resort to force The Times follows his cowardly example
After excrng all its ability to excite the northern and
southern people to the fighting point, it whmpers out
Let hope that ise eounsels &c. may preuen any such
collision" Our hope is that such reasonable appeals as
the foregoing will impress upon national men everywhere
the necessity of combining their strength for the averng
Of the dangers to the Union indicated by the existence Of
fell spirit Of disunonsm that which must have die
the article in the Times from which have quoted
1t would not surprise us however those journals at the
South which desire disunon should quote the same
ticle proof that the whole North cnertans similar feel
ings of hostility to the South 1t is in this way that the
two play into each others bands for the promo
ton of sectional agitation and enmity eecuay as
if there existed between them corale perfect
and about as natural as that between England and
France.
The Times has sheen informed that from all the north
western free States brave are pledged to come
forth and stand by this little vanguard of freedom

of bringing things 10 bows could be resorted TO than

hostile collision between the North and the South, the
result of collision in Kansas is renewed in manner
which leaves doubt of the dsunion purposes of that
journal II undertakes to frighen the people Of Missouri
into Submission the aggressons of aboltonism by

the Sssourians decide to take part the side Of the
dominant party in Kansas eve have good evidence that
they will meet very intelligent class of people, who
