LABOR AND BRING INTO CONTEMPT LAW AND
RELIGION.
The defendants the Puritans here ON good old Cape
Cod and the moral and enlightened people of Massaehr-
sets generally would do well reflect upon the enden
cies Of aJoaonisn and koc-nongism TO degrade labor
and break up the old landmarks Of religion and law The
former has been at work as political element for twenty
five years, and what has il brought 10 passi Bitterness
and ashes Not line of progress toward the emancpa
ton OF the slave It's highest ambition has been to curse
the South steal few negroes and get up mobs to resist
the law for delivering up fugitive Within year Il has
engendered hnoe-noiagssH, begoiten Of inhdeiy ans
bigoy and fused together the ra has been the iegisla
ture of the last winter Of men, majority, without
intelligence, principle practice, law, or religion who
proved themselves just reckless and abandoned IN car
ryng their hatred and bieoy toward the South and
the foreign born the rufaDs who compose the Kansas
legislature have done in carrying out their insane hatred
of abolonists and Yankees Both have alike violated all
principles Of freedom and personal rights, love OF consul
tuition Union, for religion respect for law,
to carry out their selfish ends
And what remarkable you win but reflect on IL the
ee-soors of Massachusetts, ard the ruians of Missouri
your Sumner and their StrDgelow both meet and work
on the principle-viz both deny to the people OF
Kansas the right for themselves both send ennis
saies and recruits there interfere With the actual settlers
and both repudae heprincpe Of the Nebraska BILL which
gives the exclusive control their domestic relations TO
the legal voters
Behold then the fruits Of twenty five years of political
aboliionism ye Christian people of Massachusetts, when
you find in this Puritan State hundred and twenty-five
members of the legislature like French inhdes voting Tor
for chaplain do their praying who believes that
the plays Of Shakespeare much inspiration the Cos
pei of Christi
Behold the fruits of haow-nohingism ye Temperance people
of Massachusetts, in the drinking committee sent round by
lly ipto
violate the sancty Of home destroying the first principle
of liberty thai mans kouse his castle voting for pro-
hibition and swallowing brandy and champagne at the
charge of the State
Behold the fruits decent men and of Massachusetts,
who would have yonr children brought up IN personal
purity in the abandoned proaacy of men OF that essa-
who under petext of visiting nunneres to detect the
icentousness of Catholic priests with them prost-
their companions and make the State treasury pay
for the foul expense
Behold the fruits of these twin monsters, ye men la
Dor and daily toll who seek to elevate yourselves and your
chldrcn What is there for you in this negro worshp
and fbreign-born batting? Instead Of the white working
man, the colored absorbing all the religious and
political Of the fanatics and hypocrites, who cry out
against the burdens of the slave while they do not so
much lift finger to help the poor white man. but fat-
ten themselves upon the Of his brow. Nay they go
further and by driving out foreigners they seek to de-
grade the white and of Massachusetts to the
menlal condition of the slaves at the South
This the end and aim OF the joint abos Of abolition
ism and knownothinglsm and will prove it to every
capable of comprehending common principle in po-
litical economy. Let consider the point Here it s
The lowest order of menia labor inevitably depresses the
class who compelled its drudgcry. 1t does SO be-
the compensation for mena labor is everywhere but
bare subsistence and there is time to caltiyate the
mind. The child has time for instruction, the
time for reflection 1t is toll toll just to eat and live.
But somebody must perform this menal labor
The rich will not do it. because they hire it done The
intelligent mechanic laborer will not do it, because he
can get higher and intellectual employ that
qnres brains as well hands Who then must do the
work that requires only hands and snews with the head Of
another direct it At the South the slaves do this
NAL work Hence the white there is less the slave &
toll and if lie labors all it is in higher because
profitable calling Out Of this grows of social equal
iy between the whites at the South than exists at the
North and this condition of society leads southern
the mistake of eulogzing slavery domestic ela-
ton to elevate the whites
Now class Of free labor at the North must perform
the menia toll there which slave labor driven
do at the South-the driven by the lash the other
driven by want the necessity and desire of sesuppor
The great difference in the social economy is this that the
slave labor the South be elevated but the free
labor at the North however hard and low its toll may al
ways elevate itself 10 higher and lighter grade This
free States At home, in the mines the highways,
der the drains in the quarres and the workshops of
England and Europe, he has hope of advancement He
tolls on and ony tolls and starvos till he dies goes
the workhouse. The here starts with the pick
axe the hoe the hod and goes into the and fields
and digs and dclves but if be have anything but
muscle he rises and year by year others and
take his place to raise him up 10 higher labor and honor

the laws Of naturalization they now exist have sprung
up railroads and internal improvements and the

wealth. The emgrants have done and doing this and
because they do it the natve american does not have do
it but he strikes higher and is mechanic builder an
inventor oyersee and his progress right up the
dignity Of labor without its depression down mere To-
copotive power where the toll Of the muscles Of
counts than the muscles of horse.
So stand with these a,sms crushing the dignity
of labor Abolitionisnl--ngro worship-woud make the
white change places with the negro and degrade the
former in order elevate the latter as in its social
suits TO change white into black and black into
white. Know-nohingism joins in and goes step fur
ther in degrading the native American by driving out the
emgrant who digs in the dirt and does the menal work
in mines and Kitchens and substituting the sons
and daughters of soil 10 do this labor mere
clean the sewers carry the hod and work the substra-
tum, if the industrious emgrant is driven off? Does this
help American labor drive foreigners away and let the
native go into the mud and dig for the lowest day wages
No The labor of the emgrunt in the cities and in the
