have no faith in the doctrine of the moral,
intellectual, or political equality Of the
of the negro honestly advocated by their
co laborers, the fanatics. The emancipa-
ton, Improvement, and welfare, of the
black man, are really no part of their aims
and ends. Their great purpose is, POLL
TIcAL AdaRANDIzEMENT, the achievement
Of political place and power, and the en-
joyment of political bonors These are
the second class of pests which infest the
Republic. and really conspire against its
peace and its very existence.
They understand something of human
nature. hey have found that sympathy,
prejudice, and passion, instead Of reason
and sound judgment, sway very consi-
derable portion of the human race. They
know that the Northern mind, more from
the climatic impossibility of maintaining
slavery here than from any aversion to it
from principle, is opposed to slavery. We
make this remark because every old North
ern State has tried the institution" and
abandoned it, because it could not be made
profitable. The men to whom we allude,
also know, that much of the religious sem
timent of the North, for the very reason
that the rigors of climate have banished
the "in stitution" from our midst, is thought
lessly and without reflection, arrayed against
slavery where it now is. And these DEM
AGoGUEs, with no more love of the negro
than other men, and no more true religious
faith and principle, and with not so much
real regard for the whte man, or for their
couutry, are constantly appealing to the
prejudices, passions, false sentiments, and
religious sympathies, to which we have al
luded. and inf ming the classes of people
Influenced by such sentiments and sympa-
thies, to hostility against our brethren of
the South, at the same t.me turning tie
whoLe Thing to political account--to their
own political promotion and emolument.-
And they do these wich ed things with the
full consciousness, that they are thus put
ting in peril the exis ence of the Union, the
independence Of their country, and the
Liberties of the people.
These are the really dangerous men, the
true pests of tl. Republic. The FANATICS
nre of no account, except as instruments
in the hands of the DEMAGoGUEs, who are
thc really dangerous men. Aud 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 meuace
the peace and integrity of their country,
from the intrigues and Vaccinations of the
DEMAGoGUEs, who are filing this section
of the Union with prejudice and passion,
by their artful and infammatory appeals,
they will ere they are aware OF their
danger, be startled from their dream of Sc
curity. by the crashing of the pillars of
their beloved Union about their ears.
1t is time for rational and patriotic men
t, cease to couuteaanee this senseless and
unjustifable crusade against their bre,h-
ern of the South, and to put down the
treacherous and dangerous demagogues
who are preaching it up. 1t is time for
them to awaken to true sense of the rel
ative rights of aai the members of this great
Confcderacy of sovereign States, under
the constitution, their common bond of
union. 1t is time for them to inform them
selves Of the true history of the negro; his
capacities his ueccssities; and his true
relations to his fellow men. They should
cousre0tiously study the will of Provi-
dence with regard to that degraded race

tion in his native country; his improvement
in connection with superior and civilized
race, AID what immense bles ings and
benefits he coniers upon the human race ;
and how much he promotes the civilization,
comforts, and h ppiness of mankind; by
tie necessarily subordinate union of his
physical labor with the intellectual guild
ance OF the whit man. Let them bear in
mind, that, if this connection between the
labor If the black man, and the guiding
intellect of the bl ck man, were to be dis
