REM MARKABLE-

Or, we should rather have said not Remarka-
BILE, that nearly all the in6dels of the land are
in the ranks of the Black Republicans. All
nounce the God of the Bible are among the
most noisy, inscriptions and habitual falsifers
of that party. They are men who suck sub
stance from dupes all around, but who af.
soul to any one.
These reverends have abandoned the teaching
of their focks, the holy precepts and examples
of the Saviour; they have ceased to inculcate
charity and brotherly kindness, the loving Of
our neighbor as ourself; they have ceased to
warn themselves and their people to cast out
the beam from their own eye before railing at
the mote in brothers eye. The sermon on
the Mount is no longer heard in their churches? /?
Bnt in their stead fierce and unrelenting hate
towards unoffending brethren is daily preached
by those "dogs in foreheads bat deer in heart" !"

and ct ii omne genus. For Bibles, Sharpe's
rifles are substituted, and for psalms and
hymns, doggerel instigating sedition and discord
have been substituted.
What crimes or sins has the South com.
mitted, and Of which the North is innocent,
that a warfare should be carried on by the
North against the South with such unsparing,
relentless malignity, yillifying and slandering
the South, its people and all their institutions.
Weplacea truthful picture before our readers,
and leave them to judge how far the South is
justly subject to csnsure and such virulent hos
tility from the North; Of the propriety Of the
North passing sentence of unmitigated con-
demnaiion, and of wresking its utmost ven
gesnce regardless. even Of the agis Of the Con-
stitution.
THE CASE STATED.
During our subsection TO Great Britain as
colonies, the South then as now, we're without
shipping. Then, as subsequently, up to the
period Of the abolition Of the slave trade with
Africa the importation Of slaves from Africa
was made By the English and the North.
Upon these, and these alone, does the ,ohole
stigma Of African slapery IN this country rest.
The South is pholiy exempt from reducing
.fTeemen 10 slarery.
The North is stepped 10 the eyes, crimson.
dyed ,cih this enormous gull.
The North has received profits from this
guilty trade, which, being invested as received,
now exceeds the enormous sum Of two thou
sand millions of dollars.
With this enormous fruit Of its guilt in its
pocket the North sits in judgment on the
South, making itself accuser, witness, Judge,
and executoner.
The offence charged upon the South is this
that the North having violently and wickedly
reduced many hundred thousand freemen to
slavery-having packed them, like herring, in
holds Of ships, where nearly one-fourth died
from suffering, and having brought them to
this country, offered them for sale to the South
as slaves for life, they and their posterity until
the will Of their owners should emancipate
them. They furnished bills Of sale guaran.
teeing all this, and each northern man, with bis
own sign manual, gave receipt for the con.
sideration. The South, finding the negroes in
acknowledged, perpetual slavery to these north.
ern men, who gave guarantee that the right to
hold the negroes and their posterity in per-
petual bondage was indisputable, purchased
and paid the price for the guarantee.
With this admitted state OF the case, the
North not only refuses to restore these slaves
thus purchased when they escape to them, but
seek BY every tbieving, sneakng and dishonor.

people who they themselves first enslaved and
then sold into slavery, but also do this in de-
