YANKEE POLITICS ALIAS LUST FOR LAND
No. II.
Northern politicians, from the very first, have
cloakcd their inordinate lust for power and land with
the garb Of compassion for the negroes, humanity 10
wards the human race, n regard for religion, and 4
desire to have the republic untarnished with the dis
graceful stain Of slavery. Hence they carry with
Them large numbers, particularly of the Church, who
become fanatics: but they are not fanatics: they know
VIVA; they are utter. But since they see thar lhe
people begin to find out, from reading their Bibles,
that their doctrines are false and their object If mo-
ury. they come out and claim the territories ~ ;hri!
right. Hence their compassion. now. IA diverted
from the black mau 70 the oppressed condition %! the
white man another cloak for rI"ir lust for territory.
The oppressed white men OF the South, now, are the
objects Of their disinierested phiisuthrnpy-the men
in the South who do not own slaves. These, sty
they, with the non-slaveholding people OF the North,
are grooming under the oppression ot q powerful aud
united rnonied sristocracy and pro.Slavery power, that
will, ultimately, subvcrt the principle of III" revo!u-
ton. And, if Fremont is elected, he will deliver ihcin
from this state Of bondage. Before, the negroes were
oppressed by their masters, hy the whites, nov, tho
porr white people are oppressed! hy IN" saves Hni

His mission is somewhat diverse from the Jewish
law Rivcrs. He delivered the lsrnelites from bond.
age To the Egyptians. Mr.. Fremont delivers tie
Egyptians from the I~sraelites. This is rather nm awk-
ward presentation for delivery, and will require Il
political midwife. of a great deal more skill than Mr
Fremont pussesses. The object of MIR. Fremont :
mission seems also to differ from tina, o; Moses. Thu
object of their deliverance was that they might
serve God-that they might have religious 10
erty. Tie object OF Mr.. Fremont II, that they may
serve Mammon. IL Mr.. Fremont proposes I"
deliver the negroes also from bondage, his
mission is still more unlike that OF the deIlverer ct
the Isrgelites. Tn. Is:aeliics had the promise that
after SO long a time. they should be taken from E.Sll
and conducted TO Csnhan The siny's in the United
States have had u" such promise. He has u" inirnc'
ullus power, either. like that of Moss, to dIrid" thr
Atlantic Ocean, if his Intention is to conduct three
million of people 10 Africa. He certainly will not 10
cate them in the Territories; for, u they are To be eX
clusively occupied by the iree-men of The North, there
| will be no place in which tn rear this great Black Re'
public, of which we have heard 40 much. Mr. FIRE.
mont should recollect that the Israe!itcs were forty
Years in the wilderness. and should he determine upon
| a route with them across the Rocky Mountains, ""
presume he would be willing enough, before the "XpI
ration of that time, to max. n compromise wan mem
and leave them either North or South Oi the Missouri
line. We might suppose Mr.. Fremont was a little
| touched with fanaticism, it we could not see so plal"iy
the object of this cunning leader of the Dark kr?nnl'
licsns-this man, whose mammoth soul compartments
| the whole human race. But We ara not ignorant m
his devices. The object is, to get the cooperation o'
the on.slaveholding people of the South-to Stir them
I'D against the shareholders, by boiling out the drlu'
sive hope of getting a plenty OF land, when the slaves
are abolished. And the more immediate object Is 10
get the votes Of the non shareholders of the South, "a
elect Squire Fremont, President; after which he w0uld
care no more about the poor people of the South ihal
a man wonld about the steps after he had seated MIN
sell in the house. But he has mistaken with a few
exceptions these people of the South. Like the peo
Pile Of the North, they are dependent on slave LABOR
They are with the owners of slaves IN sentiment; anC
If they do not own them. i; is because they are mol
able; for, the first thing they do when they get money
enough, is TO buy n negro to assist them III labor
The abolition of slavery now has become a secondary
object with the "Rrpub!icans," and the main qirsil.i
