men, women and Children with the ip,en-
ton of degrading them below the level of |
the brute creation. As the iqnatical OBJ |
jections urged against the negro slavery of
the South have, in SO many instances, |
been answered, it is unnecessary even 10 |
mention them here. We would only con-
,rast the condition of tie African slave Of
the South with the condition OF the schite
| slace of the North. and SHOW some of the
Inconsistencies Of Aboii;ionisln.
! We constantly see the sytnpathies OF the
aboli.ionists in behalf Of our negroes re-
corded in on. Northern exchanges. Their
ignorant. depraved and oppressed condition
is represented 10 the most heart-piercing
language that fanaticism can employ
| Hot-headed disunicn:sts don the grab Of
| religion, the more surely to carry out their
| internal designs, while contributors to
newspapers, writers OF books, and even
almanac makers. take up the woundrous
tale and unfold from their own heated and
misguided imagina,iens the most disgust
ing falsiiy that eyer disgraccd page of
white paper. So urgent and appealing is
the case Of the Southern negro, that they
for q moment, to their own cities and towns,
aye, their own homes--tc the thousands of
down-trodden poor, of both sexes-to the
thousands OF orphan children thrown upon
! l..
port. Hundreds and thousands of dollars
are expended in equiping men with arms
and ammunition to besiege the Southern
people in the peaceable possession OF their
: constitutional rights, while thousands suffer
: from hunger and the want Of suitable
clothing, some even die of starvation, a.
their very doors, but their cries are unheed-
ID and their entreaties spurned by their
Z own kindred and neighbors. There is a
), race Of re groes "way down South who
t have good masters, enough 10 eat, suthc-
Il lent clc:b;ng, are free from all care and
i anxiety Of mind and we'll taken care OF IN
= sickness-that demapd their attention,
:, rather than the unfortunate and oppressed
icbitc slttre that begs FOR work to enable
!liin TO rarn enough TO keep him from
starving OF dying from cold.
- See that poor sewing who plies
= hcr needle from early dawn iii the late
i hours OF the night, for the amount Of one
u $Alliag-cnd not unfrequently "a much
smaller compensation--to keep her and
IS her ch:ld-yes, aiipe; and at the same time
i she is spa-ned by falsely 50 called society,
:, neglected III sickness; nc kind word OF
;, sympathy is spoken. no tender hand Of her
j mistress is extended TO her relief.
Tie condition OF .he Southern slave can.
lot be worse, nor IS It as bed in many in
; ances, as tie condition OF tilc iaborirg
> classes Of the North. Abclitionis.s. those
: og-in-the-nanger-p -philantnropists, will
: neither improve the condition Of the poor
er classes, nor permit them TO do so them
selves. II u poor white man endeavors to
D draw upon their clarity they pay no atten-
: ton 70 him. be his case ever So urgent;
bu; let fugitive slave make his appear
9 ance amongst them, ard instantly The sym
pash;es of the whole country are aroused.
Fanaticism rushes into the arena to gather
) Up more thunder to huri back from whence
the fugitive esca ped, and at the same time
crushes the poor Of her oan household un-
: der foot.
When will aboli;ionists learn to improve
d the condition Of their own neglected and
: suffering poor, and let the people of the
p South take care of their own interes;s?-
We fear not until they have been taught q
lesson or two by the South upon tie sub
l. ject Of intervention in domestic affairs, the
p" necessity for which is beginning to be fell
all over the slaye-hoiding States. TIE
'e South has been goaded to fury by the
d North, or rather Northern fanaticism.--
Forbearance on our part has ceased to be
virtue. and e'er long revenge will be ti1s
only alternative.
