the society around him, all speak for Freedom
There is no auction block or barracoon, within
sight of the village church. Field lnborers are
not driven to their task by driver. The mo other
does not leave her babe for the day. and bend over
the heated sands. No Cufie-gangs 20 by, sold to
II distant land, like cattle.
We scorn the northern apologist for slavery
loatho him. There is no good and honorable rea-
son for his conduct He is treading remorselcssly
upon the vitals of a race, Who have known nothing
but wrong at the hands Of the white. lie would
pcrpctuGtG these wrongs, and add new and more
CALLING links to the chain which gnaws into the
body and soul Of the bOndman. Womanhood must
be pros.ituted manhood brutali2ed and crushed
and innocence itself reared to degradation and
shame rather than stand up in the dignity OF chris
tian ireemen and speak out opinions favorable to
Justice, Freedom, aud Truth. To hate wrong and
denoUnCe the means and measures made use Of to
iastcn it still mOIc aldugly upon our land, and
down troddon people Is pronounced fanaticism.'
To look for Il day when the stigma Of American
Slavery shall be wiped from country is to en-.
danger the Union of these States, and the institu-
tons OF our fathers! ! a thought or a prayer for
the bnndman, who lives and tolls, and dies chat.
tel. is treason to the Union
Treason let it hc then and God prosper IL 1t is
the treason which throbs in every heart the treason
Of nature. 1t is that treason which has ever see.h
ed under the bloodstaincd structures Of hoary op-
preston. The same spirit launched tie Maynower,
and hallowed Plymouth Rock 1t burst into flame
at Bunker Hill, left the pow to rust in the iurrow
ut Lexington, and marched to the music of cannon
and musketry, along the battletelds Of II seven
years conflict. 1t sacrificed the ten in Boston
harbor, and burned George III in ofigy in New
York, In every cline where freedom has mot des-
potism with fautng flag and battlo-brand, and
wrested for upon the slippery sward, this trea-
son has ncryed the Ecro's arm. 1t lives FOR aye in
the human heart 1t viii 1.-Two when oppression

The northern people have writhed long and pa
tiently, under the shameless aCgrossions Of sla-
very. They have been too patient-have borne
too long. Aggressions far less ggrayating ON the
part OF England, led to revolution The i'm
prcssment Of American citizens upon the sens
went like electricity along tho veins Of American
people. Yet, to-day, oithern citizens are insul-
ted, arrested and lyachcd, for being suspected eyen
of lavoring freedom What citizen Of the North
dares to speak like freeman, south Of Mason's &
Dixons line? Save the Union, is the canting
prayer of northern serldom. Yet, the shadow Of
that Union will not protect the lJeuy,life prop
Crty of those who love freedom more than slavery.
Even woman is brutally driven from the land Of
vaunted chivnlry, and the torch applied to her
buildings and 81 | eco offered an appeasing sacri-
fee to the power of the lash and thumb-screw
Let us alone, is the constant cry of the South
Why then do they madly presist from one year 5
end to another, in tanning into flame the deepest
hatred of the Moth? Had the South aimed to in
suit, outrage, and trampe upon all which the
North loves and vennrates it could not have been
yoked the Storm, and now charge the North with
being the author of the mischief. And thcre are
recreants among u.s. who strike hands with the
slave power, and turn Indignantly to smitc free
dom and its friends.
= God ,cW prosper The Right! The South is
mad and will rush upon the rock which will split
her darling institution in fragments. There are
