thus armed and nrtayed against what they do
not understand, aud the Southern slav choller

moral uglincss fitted for insult and abuse and
even death. For proof of this, look at the SER
mons Of Rev. Mr. Checver, Beecher, and many

10 bring the matter right before the savelol-
der let him look thinkingly at the Massachusetts
scheme of coonizing Virginia, by free white la
borcrs. This shows action-certain evidence of Il
commencing crusade against the institution of
slavery as existing in this State.

will pursue this further rs we go on.
When we look on the action OF the Legislature
of New York and Ohio, we have unlnis,akable
evidence, what the intentions of the people of
these States nre towards the Southern slavehol-
der. Every breeze That comes from the East,
North, and West, is tainted with abolition and
treason, and like purifying carcass, gets worse

Our object is 10 examine and expose the lala.

of the saveholder, and point out the prospect OF
the future, for and against him. We will then
iurther notice the scheme of colonizing the South

Were this the only scheme of these restless
meddlcrs, it would need but lite notice, for the
slave States have been always open for this kind
