The most thorough exemplifcation oil
the hypocricy of the abolitionists, we have
yet seen, is the madcap scheme to COLOMBO
Virginia with an army of free laborers.-
Amid all their professions of veneration for
the principle of equality and of sympathy
for the oppressed race, settled, mercena-

self With them philanthropy is but more
delicate synonym for avarice. 1t is and
has been, the meat and drink which Sus-
tains and cherishes the leaders, and per-
petuates the fanaticism which pervades
the North. Ofice-seekers and presses are
moved by the wild lust for gain, and the
deluded rabble rally around them with des-

debased propensity, Greedy has built up

Emboldened by their success, they have
pushed their attempts to the very door o

depth of infamy where they will stand the
recognized peers of the most renowned BAN

as a body, are or will lend themselves to
these dsgraceful schemes; but there is q
large party which has no higher aims for
its ambition, which it is as necessary for
the sound men of the north to crush out, as
it is for the south TO oppose.
