ABOLITION APPEALS no THE LABoRfse GLASSES
We feel al loss oftcntimes for terms fitting and appro
PIRATE 10 characerize the low and nsidious schemes
which the political fanatics OF the North are daily resort
ing for the attainment Of their selfish and ambitious de-
signs We believed them sincere in their loud
long protesatons Of sympathy for the poor slave
We have believed that their hideous shrieks for
freedom anything less than false and hollow
hearted demagogsm, used only by Inscriptions men for
the purpose Of If there had been any
doubt in the mind Of any candid and intelligent person as
the sincerity Of these schemes the readiness and
with which they pass from one ism into another would
have furnished ample evidence Of their hypocrisy With
reckless mpudenee they deny to-day what yesterday they
preached with all the fiery zeal of bgots in close
munon day with and parties whom the day pre-
ceding they have denounced and yhed without STINT
their whole history made up of Inconsistencies contra
dictions, and perversions
The most remarkable instance Of this readiness to de-
any position party which they have lately exhibited
was on the occasion of the appearance of President Per
last annual message, which, among other sound and pa
trioc sentiments couched in the simple and eloquent Ian
guage of truth and sincerity contained the following par
agraph: rs. r...-..a
q If the passionate rage of fanacsm and partisan spirit
did not force upon attention. it would be difficult
believe that any considerable portion Of The people Of this
gAnea country could have surrendered Themselves to IA
aacql deuooa the supposed insrests of the relatively fec
Afrcans IN the United States totally to abandon and ds-
regard The of the tety fire millions Of Americans
rampe under foot the nuncons Of moral and constu
tonal obligation, and to engage in plans OF yndcye hosu
y against those who associated with them In the enjoy
ment Of the heritage of national institutions
Mark how this plain and simple statement works upon
these fanatics At once all aboiondom is in blaze Of
Indignation Orators and organs loud in their denun
Citations of the stupendous ignorance" which would at
tribute to them any sympathy for devotion to- the
supposed interests of the relatively few Africans in the Uni
ted States" They nothing The negrOi II is for the
poor and oppressed white of the South
that their sympahies aroused With these professions
and recanaons upon their tongues their presses at
once made to with loud long, and achrymose wall
ngs for the fate of the poor whites whom the negroes
and their owners are grinding into the dust Not only
this but thousands upon thousands of pamphlets scat
tered throughout the land-North, South, East and
Westfed with the grosses lschoods the most di,hon
est attacks upon the people of the South and their ns
tutons ... sa.a
The two principal pamphlets being circulated
are entitled aTHE Poor WHITES OF THE SouTH" and
q SOUTHERN SLAVERY REpuoEs NORTHERN WAGES The
FIRST is cowardly and unprncpled attempt to engender
l-bood between the Shareholders and the nonslavehod
ers of the southe latter of whom in the language of
the New York Tribune care exposed BY (sapy) 70 terri
BE hunaons and degradatiOns growng erery day

TO emerge By any Efforts Of their oUn'
1t has been generally least by those if there
are any, who believe Greeley and his coworkershat the
negroes monopoized all the sympathy of the friends
~ psta of
poor blacks who are entitled TO their deepest sympathy
and commse ration" Verify if there the least
bance of truth in the following pictures by Mr. Weston
the author of both Of these pamphlets there might be
some show of truth in Greelsy's statement:
"AH the capital enterprise and Intelligence Of the State

ploraby ignorant and induced ih great difficulty and only

Again:
Georgia. It seems like South Carolina and under the
influence Of the same great cause her poor whites de-
graded haed halelothed ,rit9 mental HOra iasrHe-

1t be the real object of these fanatics to create dscord
and l-w between the stakeholder ard the nonsavehold
by such inscriptions and absurd sehoods then they
most deporaby ignorant of the true character OF both
classes and stand greatly in need OF Of
ghtenment But IL their designs be- doubt not they
are to weaken the bonds which hold together the
Union and finally to destroy the Union then have they
chosen well their weapons Of warfare; for surely
the night follows the going down Of the SUM- surely will
such assaults bring about this dircful calamity.
In the South these attacks only have the effect to
the bonds Of union between the STAKEHOLDER
and the non-saveholdcr TO increase the scorn and
tempt which both alike cherish for the whitelivered
traitors who would FIRE to the altar itself TO serve their
own selfish aims. II is consolation TO know that how
ever low in the estimation Of abolitoniss the poor
whites" of the South may be- in truth they too nte
gent deceived and thousand times too honest to be
allured into counteuancng, by word deed either the
traitors or their We took OCCASION on the first
appearance Of the article on The Poor Whites" 10 de-
nounce as an insult the South and an outrage on all
truth and morality We desire to speak moro par
cuary of the second pamphlet which intended entirely
for northern consumption.
The title statement of this pamphlet Is itself falsebood
and Of consequences all Of the arguments that contains are
false SOUTHERN SLAVERY DOES NOT REDUCE NORTHERN
