APPROACHING ERA OF COOP FEEI.INc.


times are propitous Truth is mighty and will
prevail; and truths are bursting in from every
quarter on benighted and misguided world. New
and unexpected facts and circumstances and predic
tons, and anticipatons, disappointed and falsfed,
must, slowly but surely, produce and different
public opinion.
half century ago, and all Christendom believed
that we had only to hberate the negro in order to
elevate his social, moral and intellectual condition; !;
and, moreover, that when liberated, like the libe
rated white serf of Europe, he would become
cheaper, moro efficient, and more Industrious labo-
rer Then all men, North and South, were aboli-
toniss, or Observation-Disclosures for the most
ative were dazzled with the glorious exploits of Ja
cobnical France, and somewhat infected with her
anarchical heresies.
But now the experiment of negro emancipation
has been made, and we are reapng its bitter fruits
which have proved everywhere sad, fatal, and dis
astrous. The liberated negro is fast becoming an
idle yagabond or Pagan savage, and the white la
borers throughout Christendom are forced to do
double work for haf-pay. Nay, worsel the market
for their manufactures has been narrowed and
restricted by the wholesale emancipation of the West
Indies, Mexico, and South America that they are
thrown out of employment to starye; and French
men have adopted the horrible dirge, Du rfrTe au
raradnt on morir au eoabattant as their watchword
and rallying cry; and all western Europe, from her
garres and her cellars, from her fields and her fac
tories howls in unison like pack Of starving wolves
just starting in quest of prey. And in America
fifty thousand unemployed white laborcrs in New
York, in the midst of d winter more rigorous than
that which felled the hosts Of France mid the
of Russia repeat in solemn resolves the fact and the
sentiment, and send it re-echoing across the Attain
TIC And Garrison and Greeley, Smith, Parker, Phil
lips, and host of Others the abrcators of the ruin
they and those like them, who have made savages Of
the negroes and paupers Of the whites, who have
taken the fctcr from the African and imposed it on
the limbs of the Caucasian-they, with hypocritical
cant, pretend to be the especial friends Of the poor
and incte them to social rebellion
No political no social change, wiz feed and clothe
the hungry and the naked Of Europe and America
No such changes will supply the deficiency Of cotton,
Of sugar ofrce ofclasses ofcoee and other slave
products, which deficiency abolition has oceasoned
The white laborer, because of abolition, has to pay
these prices for these articles whilst tho
that enhance the price of living cut him of from
market for the products of his industry, and throw
him ont of employment, to starve. But negroes re
turning TO the savage state and white men starving
by the Million but part of the horrible niquities
of bleeding philanthropy part Of the newlydis-
covered facts on which rely to change public
opinion on the subject Of abolition Europe must
have the slave products Of the South; and to COM
pensatc for the loss of Hayti, France seizes Al
giers England deluges Asia with blood and finds or
forces her way into the Celestial Empire whilst her
citizens and those Of America in defiance Of law and
the penalty Of DEATH and in tho face Of three allied
fleets carry on the slave trade with crnelsy great
IL aggravated by the vain attempts to suppress il
Worse than this Abolition has made the demand
for slave labor SO great that new traffic in human
flesh trsnscendng in its horrors the bloodiest tale q
fiction, has been added to the regular slave trade
we aude to the cody trade, AMI refer the reader,
for proof Of our assertion TO Report Of the Secrc
tary Of State to the Senate made and ordered to be
printed August, 1856"
The mere facts on which we rely TO dispel the alb
clifton mania have but recently been admitted and
divulged; and even now France and England re
luctantly and but seldom, confess their phanthropiC
blunders and abolitionists in America sturdiy deny
the very facts of history But Truth is mighty and
viii prevail" The people will learn the true state
Of the case give up all abolition opinions, and visit
with rcprobation the pretended phanthropists who
have misled betrayed and welLnigh starved them.
As abolitonism disappears, the other isms that
disturb society will depart; for they are all the out
growth and offspring Of abolition, and are sustained
and kept alive by it, 1t is historically true that men
who begin life as anti-slavery become anti
marriage men, anti-church men, inndels, agrarians
and socialists of every hue. They find the principle
of subordination involved in every institution and
relation of society and the objections to those insti
tutions and relations similar in character to the OBJ
iections to negro slavery. People, once convinced
that negro slavery is right will readily that the
dominion of the husband and the parent, Of the cap
tain and the general, and that dominion which prop
erty gives to its owner are also right and expedient
We are quite confident that all the pestilential
sms which now disturb and distract will ere long
pass away, and usher in era of good feeling.
