SENATOR HAnFmoND's FREEsOIL EN-
nORSERS.


n Senator Hammond's two speeches-the one at
Beech Island, and the other at Barnwel South Caro-
lna--have not fallen satisfactorily upon Southern
ears, one thing is quite evident they have rendered
him excessively popular with the Abolitonists and
Freesoars Of The North if we can attach any mean
ling to the words they utter.
The New York Tribune hrstrate, unimpeachable
Abolition neutrality-suspicious. the South Carolina
Senator as man Of sense, sagacty and discern
ment, 9 says it likes him, and concludes somewhat
lengthy review Of his speech in these Words
]. The North Gin the opinion of Mr.. H.) has never
united long on any policy 2, In his opinion the
Abolition agitation is on its last legs both in this
country and in Europe But, however that NAV be-
will be best think not to build too strong hopes
thereon. The question between the North and The
South has ceased altogether to bein fact it never
was at any tlme--a negro question. The question is
and has been-Shall these United States be ruled by
little aristocraey OF some $4,000 Shareholders rs
sisted by as many Northern Doughfaees, mereenary
oiGeseekers, and Irish bullies, shall the country
be ruled BY and IN the interest of the great massand
vast majority OF ifs free, selfworking laborers
That has been, and that is still the question to be de-
cded. Till that question is completely and perma-
nenty settled, we are rather inclined 70 think that
Mr.. Senator Hammond will find the North quite as
united as the South.
"a little aristocracy Of some $4,000 sayehoiders
Such words and statements are not uncommon in the
columns Of the great organ Of Black Republicanism.
And we must do it the justice to say that it consus
the Federal census with commemorate industry, and
that its figures are usually correct. The other day
it informed the public that there but sixteen
thousand and forty shareholders in Maryland out Of
white population of near half Million and argued
with much force and FEASIBILITY, basing its argu.
ments upon the statistics cited that the institution
could not long exist in that commonwealth We fur
nished our readers, as they will remember, with the
figures upon which the Tribune relied, and com.
mented thereupon appropriately.
The New York Courier and Enquirer which, a few
days since nominated William H. Seward for the
next Presidency, styles Senator Hammonds Barnwell
speech as abe,n manly and practical IN
deed, it is quite full of compliments to the dstin
guished, anti6re.eatng, South Carolinian. We
quote
His tHammond's) review Of the Kansas question,
and Of the folly of those who repealed the Missouri
Compromise and sought to force Kansas into the
Union as slave State is worthy Of all praise and
almost renders him as good Republican as T1iiiam
H. Se,card
There is more " truth than poetry" in the above
extract. # Senator Hammond is not almost as
good (Black) Republican as William Fl. Seward"
one thing assure In his Beech Island speech wherein
he eounselled the Southern people to submit to a
reelection of an Abolition President before they ven
lurea upon measures q resistance, he csuselessy
ptoposee surrender more IMAM seward or any other
