SOUTHERN AboLiEadnSNlI$N. adn ..p.....,
! about ii..NrbraskaiSm or Black Republicanismi-
which suppose is of tbs developments Of old
fashioned nboilonisn. Many Southern nerve has
-huddarcd in fear, lest this invading foe would ere
long polu.e our resdes and deprive lis Of our homes
and rights. And while the distant mutterings nt the
storm have and then been rrhoing on the Nu-tl-
crn horizon, some have quaked and looked for the
dreaded catastrophe. This thunder had never harm.
| cd tten-this storm would never have reached them
had Southern men been true to themselves and 10
| their own interests. Had we no Southern abolition.
stS in midst, we might still rccl!ne under our
"vine and liz tree and though our enemies might
"moesI they should not "nakc US afraid. lutrr'
nul foes are all have cause 10 fear, so far Us We
are Immediately concerned. While we have been
| making grrat cXerfiOGs TO pass the .NbrdHHH dnd
| Kansas bill, aud have succeeded in obtaining on!
rights and are now excited and alarmed lest tins bill
should be repealed, body OF Northern abollt'"nstS
| aided by Southern antsiavcry men, nave uteii
| for years quietly aud rsidpusy carrying out
| principles, much at with Southern rights,
and as much subversive of slavery as the
| WilmOt Provlso, or any other scheme when
gives a Northern man rights which withheld from
Southern men. | refer to what is called the lkchaHc
EnIon, an association Of various trades, whose Ope-
ration extends over Virginia, aud possibly other
Southern States. The mnn design of this society is
To prevent the employment OF slave labor IN some ot
the mechanic arts, SUCH for instance, ~ Moulding and
| Iron manufacture. As have understood, from one
of its members, every man who has served his ap-
premiership, t0und solemn oa, not to work II!
any establishment where slave labor is employed. -
Should any moulder, whether member oi the mon
or not, consent to work with save, rather IN q
shop where slave is employed, he is placed under
the banDf prescription, and Is actually liable 10 per-
sOral violence, unless lie leaves the premises. Now
srs what is this but Black RepubllcanIsm practical
ly carried out in our very midst Is II hot rank ah-
oiition.n in another of its developments spawned in
New England and hatched in Southern States 1t II
not mere bravaIo-it s not the false hre bel wh'ch
you know the fanatic delights in, that he may gioat
over the they inspire, but 1t Is living pactca
| nbouuisul, in q worse shape than the New lOrk
Tribune, which our laws declare lncchoiary. IL is'
therefore, to be feared
You pass shops daily, OF your streets where These
principles are atwork, overlooked tits hoped) or sane.
TONED By the proprieors. | hope, for consistency =
sake, YOU have been ignorant Ot Their EXISTENCE
| Now srs if il is the right Of Southern men In re.
| move TO new territories on fair terms, and 10 ENJOY
equal rights what principle can Southern men oe
forced to employ their labor only Ill restricted limits
! If they submit 10 this i'll instance, where VII!
tIry be free II we submit tancly to DC oasted out
of one kind of employment by this spirit OF Southern
abo!itionism, where can We hope 10 Walk untrhni
nelled when the leaven has fully work kcdi You
know that fana;ic5n Is pr"gressive-it, Ike iiiG
'hurse leech cries enoagh. After restricting
our labor in this channel-ntter saying another an,
another trade shall be sacred from the tonch Of Doilu
ted slavery We must be forced at last to basey sur
render, because slavery has become a burden tn'
n-huutcd buffalo, to destroy ourselves TO Gci RI,
of our puruers. Depend upon il, airs, vou who san'
uuon the watch- TO herald the coming of tit
| foe if you only watch the distant enemy, and hce'
not the assassin who turks i'll darkness, you ar,
not doing your whole duty, if you shut your eyes Il
evils such ~ these. When an enemy approache'
with open 'front.' or, when we hear the booming 0i hi'
| approaching cannon, we all can see, We all can hear
we all who are patriots, and lovers Ot home and 0u
nearest aud dearest, will be ready and waiting to meet
th. nvader-but, when incendiary ana dangerous rs
socations are secretly undermining The foundations
society; when no one gives the ALARM the cahk"i
will secretly corrodc tho poison will inStl, un'l!
when the contest day at last. The lran hnrst
will be within our walls, the arms OF Ssinson VIII O'

Several wears since your city boasted Of a South
rrn Rights Association, whose Object was the promo

socn,iuu lave been fully carried on :" far rs manu-
fac;ureS are cunccrned, what advantage would nave
accrued 10 Southern iaborl II Southern labor be- c1
cuded from manufacturing, what would we sun p'
doing but supporting and aiding Southern abolition
is,s-,he only Abulitioniss which will ever polu
