II has long been matter of lust re.

loving citizens of the North that they have
| paid but little or no attention to certain vital
political interests, the importance of which is
daily becoming more and more apparent. Thus
the brutal and bloody manifesto put forth at
Rochester by Seward, although condemned by
all right feeling men, failed to receive the full
measure of obloquy to which it was richly en-
titled. This proclamation was followed. as n
logical sequence by the attack upon Harper's
Ferry, which, though it took the country by
surprise, might and ought to have been expect
ed. Our people are so busily engaged in get
ting rich, and they are accustomed to treat the
operations of politicians SO contemptuously.
that they quietly abstain from participation in
political affairs. They seem to think that the
government has sufficient vitality, not only to
60 on by itself, but to resist the efforts of the
conspirators who are endeavoring to break it
down. Holding to these views, the Harper's
Ferry affair was looked upon as the insane
freak of few fanatics-an attempt hardly
ryor,, oil the fuss that has been made about it.
But regent vents would seem to show that
some of the leaders o. the Seward faction were
more or less implicated with old Brown. They
hoped, by sending the old man and his follow
ers to Virginian gibbet, they could influence
the North against the South, and make capital
for purely sectional contest for the Presiden-
CT ia 1860. This is the game of the republican
ler.uers, but the question as to its success Is
still doubtful one.
There is still another scheme on foot, started
by the politicians, and looking forward to p"

which will shortly be published. This latest
| abolition scheme is to be carried into effect
with Northern money, and this city is expected
to furnish the larger amount Of the disunion
capital. Bitter incendiary and reasonable
attacks upon the institutions and people of the
South are to be printed and distributed as cleo
tioneering documents to affect the result of the
next Presidential election. One of these docu-
ments puts the South in a terrible crisis, and
proceeds to mark out way Of escape from the
dilemma. That way is for the North to demand
the immediate and unconditional abolition Of
slavery, whether the shareholders like it or not.
The North is to say to the South, we are richer,

fore you will please iberate all your slaves,

rabid howlings Of Seward and his imitators are
gathered together into the choicest of treasona.
BILE bouquets. The Southern people are called
'the stupid and sequacious asses-the white
victims of Slavery" and the South is told that
it is "weltering in the cesspool of ignorance
and degradation The reader is continually
reminded of the "demagogical maneuvrings Of
the Southern oligarchy," of the "contempti-
BILE insignifcance of the Southern States
their humiliating dependence upon the
free States" their infamy and degra

heSroes; Dut upon poor Wnlte men, the lmpO
vershment and degradation of the South, and
much more to the same purpose The remedy
ior all this, according to this brochure, must be
applied by the North. Slavery and slave
holders, as natural consequence, must be
throttled.' This is to be done by "rrea,
revolutionary movement" by which every vic
tim Of the vile institutions of the South Is to
be freed from the tyranny Of an oinhuman
oligarchy" In the meantime, shareholders arc
to be deprived Of all political, social and re
ligious privileges. They are to be strictly and
thoroughly tabooed, out-voted, bullied, Gu
and insulted by non-slaveholders, North ant
South. And finally, whatever the South ma,
say or do, its institutions are to be at ono
abolished, and its social system arranged upo
Northern models.
