 We have, in the north, two classes of pests, whose joint labors bid fair to involve the coun- try in anarchy and civil war, which must result in the dissolution of the Union, or a consoidat- ed despotism. These pests are the FANATICS and the DEMAGoGUEs. The first are crazy upon the subject of negroes and slavery. They are mere lunatics, or rather monomaniacs acting without sense or reason. They have conceive ed an immense affection for the dirty and filthy ne. groes of the south; and have fallen into the hal Inclination that those negroes are as capable oi civilization, and of establishing and enjoying the institutions of civilization, as white men They shut their eyes to all the facts of history concerning that abjcct and degraded race. They forget that, from the first dawn of historical light, the negro has been the same, physically morally, and intele5tualy-that 5000 years ago, he had woolly head, flat nose, a thick lip, crooked shin, and long heel; that, dur ing that long period he has been a slave, either to race more civilized than he, or to his own sable compatrots W hich was great deal worse and that, he has never progressed in civihza- ton or christianity, except when he has been in subjoction to a superior and civilized race.
 And these monomaniacs, too, forget the facts surrounding the origin and birth of this repub- lic They forget that, then--at the Declara- ton of Independence and the formation of the Constitution--evcry State held the negroes in bondage; that when our farefathers proclaimed to the world, the abstract truth that 'al men are born free and equal" they did not set the negroes free; that they did not appoint them to oifice-dId not make them generals nor sena- tors, nor recognize their right to hold office of any kind; that they did not admit negroes, nor Indians, to citizenship; thus making color the distinction of citizenship; a distinction carried out in our naturalization laws, which admit only white men to citizenship; and in our post office laws, which permit no negro, or colored man to carry the mail of the United States These monomaniacS forget all these facts, so significant of the true intention of our patriotic forefathers in founding the Republic.
 They go farther. They contend for the ab- surdity that the "nigger is as good as the white man''-in other words, they contend for his political equality with the white man in this republic. This hallucinaton on the part of the class of men of whom we are now writing, is, however, more theoretical than pracical; for most of those negrophillsts, while they contend so lustly for the rights of the black man, will not admit him to their parlors, their dinner tables, to associate with their children to marry their daughters, to train side by side with him in military company, nor sit side by side with him in a jury box thus denying practically the doctrine of equality between the negro and white man, which they are constantly preaching.
 And these mOnomaniacs avow their willing ness and determination to subvert the govern ment and destroy the Union, if they cannot otherwise enforce the popular recognition of their absurd and impracticable dosmas. But, no danger to the country could result from the follies and absurdities of this class of fanatics per Se They are comparatively mere hand lul even of the people of the north, and are confined mainly to the followers of Garrison, Wendell Phillips and Abby Folsom.
 But, the fanaticiSm of these poor monoma nacs is seized hold of by class of men who are rational, and who know what they are about. They are the political DEMAGoGUEs, and in clude the Stewards, Glasses, llales, Wilson's, and the rest of the wicked and reasonable crew whose machrnatious threaten the overthrow of the republic These men really care nothing about slavery in itself They would not, if they could, Set the slaves free to morrow. They have 10 faith in the doctrine of the moral, in. tellectual or political equality of the negro ho nestv advocated by their co-laborers, the fana- tics. The emancipation, improvement and well fare of the black man, are really no part of their aims and ends. Their great purpose is, POLL TICAL AGGRANDIzEMENT, the achievement of political place and power, and the enjoyment of poliica honors These are the second class of pests which infcst the republic, and really con>pire against its peace and its very existence.
 They understand something of human na- ture They have found that sympathy, pre- yDfr I judgment sway very considerable portion of the human race. They know that the north ern mind, more from the climatic mpossibiltv of maintaining slavery here than from any aver sion to it from principle, is opposed to slavery. We make this remark because every old north ern State has tried the institution,'' and aban- doned it, because it could not be made profta- ble. The men to whom we allude, also know, that much of the religious sentiment of the north, for the very reason that the rigors of eli mate have banished the "institution'' from our midst, is thoughtlessly and without reflection, arrayed against slavery where it now is. And these DEMAGoGUEs, with no more love of the negro than other men, and no more true reli- gious faith and principle. and with not so much real regard for the white man, or for their coun- try, are constantly appealing to the prejudices, pdSSlOUS, ldS0 ScItItlltilto anu Sy I'll pathies, to which we have alluded, and inham- ing the classes of people influenced by such sentiments and sympathies, to hostility against our brethren of the south, ot tue same hnae turn iag tue achole thing to political accoul.-to their own political promotion and emolument And they do these wicked things with the full con- scousness, that they are thus putting in peril the existence of the Union, the independence of tb 70, +b
 These are the really dangerous men, the true pests of the republic The FANATICS are of no account, except as instruments in the hands of the DEMAGoGUEs, who are the really dangerous men. And we hesitate not to say, that, if the people of the north do not soon awaken to a consciousness of the real state of things-to the actual and truly formidable dangers which menace the peace and integrity of their country from the intrgues and machiuations of the DE- MAGoaUEs, who are filling this section of the Union with prejudice and passion, by their art ful and niiamnatory appeals,-they will ere they are aware of their danger, be startled from their dream of security, by the crashing of the pillars of their beloved Union about their ears.
 It is time for rational and patriotic men to cease to countenance this senseless and unusti- fable crusade against their brethren of the south, and to put down the treacherous and dangerous demagogues who are preaching it up. It is time for them to awaken to true sense of the relative rights of all the members of this great confederacy of sovereign States, under the constitution, their common bond of union. It is time for them to inform them. selves of the true history of the negro; his ca pacities; his necessities; and his true relations to his fellow men. They should conscien- tiously study the will of Providence with re. gard to that degraded race,-to realize his abject and miserable condition in his native country; his improvement in connection with a superior and civilized race; and what immense blessings and benefits he confers upon the hu- man race; and how much he promotes the civi lization, comforts, and happiness of mankind
 by the necessarily subordinate union of his physical labor with the intellectual guidance ol the white man. Let them bear in mind, that if this connection between the labor of the black man, and the guiding intellect of the white man, were to be dissolved, almost every cotton
