spokesman in the Treasury Department, will lis
ten TO no such thing but strives to pull tho ne
gro's wool the eyes Of the President, so as to
blind him to the facts and conclusions Of his own
speeches delivered years ago in the Senate of the
United States. Pennsylvania will therefore suffer
on to the extent Of millions more--ber iron works
resembling the appearance Of extinguished volca'

to be, aud really is, the Presidents master. Thou.
sands and thousands OF families are eating the
bread Of idleness and Of penury now, because a
contemplate squad of negro driving oligarchs con.
troll the Government Of the United States, and re
fuse to give to free labor the protection which it
demands. The North good natured descendants
of the tribe Of Issachar, cheerfuly pay 80 per cent
more for Southern sugar than they need pay for
the West India article, merely to fill the pockets
of few hundred sugar manufacturers in Louisia'
ma. But when we ask in return that the iron IN
terest of the North shall receive protection why,
that is horse of another color.
In the halls of Congress, the negro-his servi'
tude and his freedom, is the staple of three.fourhs
of the speeches delivered. The negro BULLS up
and plucks dOwn--makes and unmakes political
men at will. 1t was the negro who occasioned the
attempted massacre OF Sumner upon the floor OF
the Senate Chamber, and then occasioned the pre-.
mature death Of Brooks and Butler, the guilty
principal and accessory to the assault. The negro
sentenced to political death and damnation the
most of those public men who broke down the
Missouri restriction and passed the Kansas Ne,
braska Bill and he has just begun to wreak his
vengeance on Senator Douglas, the leader of the
gang. There was time, not long ago, when
Douglas could have made his peace with the ne.
gro, and brig ghtened the prospects of both for the
future But he knew not the day fOf his visitation
lie started his southern tour preparatory to his
triumphal entry into Charleston ia 1850, as he
supposed. But,in the midst of his glorifcation on
that fatal night at Memphis, where he began to
curse lead the Republicans for their late services
in securing his reelection the Senate he saw the
finger of a black hand writing against the can
dlestick on the plaster Of the wall these fear,

Does an American wish to relax his features
stihened in the pursuit of business, by an hour
hearty and recreating laughter, he goes to see
Sandford Il Chrystie's Opera Troupe where Sam
bo convulses his audience with negro wit. Does
he wish to regale himself by hearing the tones Of
exquisite music, he listens to the far.famed negro
melodies, which, strange to say, constitute the on.
iy american music We have. The daughter of the
New York millionaire sings "Old Folks o. home"
in her fathers gilded saloon, to the music of a
thousand dollar piano. And ooh, carry me back
to Old Nirginny," and "My old Kentucky Home"
are heard at eventide in mary a happy cottage
beyond tho Mississippi, when the labors of the
day are over. Not only has the negro engrafted
his minstrelsy upon the taste of the American peo.
pie but he has given his dialect to bis oppressors
In all other instances, he,conqueror enstamps his
style of speech upon the conquered, as was the
case with the Norman and the Saxon. But here
it is just the reverse. The Southern members of
Congress. if they were blaokened and disguised
like the performers 10 Sahdford's Troupe, might
pass for improved specimens of their own negroes
