Ii is known To the readers Of these columns thai
at the request Of Committee Of gentlemen Mr.
Helper was to put in form for wide and caer
circulation the substance Of his larger work, "Th'
Impending Crisis" The pamphlet before us is TIE
result of this labor. We believe, for reasons jus
limited az, that it will prove TO be document which
will work great damage to the Demo cratic party.
1t cannot fail also, to be of great use to that party
with which We are identified Herein nevertae
less, is not its chief value. Mr. Helper argues ia
HIS own way, and draws bis own conclusions from
the facts which he has SO laborously aud 50 inge
nousy collated, and which he has placed
in their true relations to each other. Ba:
nobody but himself lis responsible for these argu
meDts and conclusions. He erects no platform 70:
any political party much less for one of the NORTH
He speaks as a Southerner; ho speaks as moo
stakeholder; as a wronged man, he appeals 10 D
countrymen who with him have suffered, for geu%
RS ions these stHpendOus wrongs. He insists upa
redress; with strength Of language, with posa
a Al q -,
felicity OF expression. which no mere culture ofns
intellect could give, but which have their root deep
in the heart, OvertlOwing with the sense Of wrou
aud the love of right be demands that TINS %
preston of his class shall cease. He invokes h
moral influence of the North; he asks that The
party which has 80 long reoiced in being a'
drivers 10 the oyerseers may be forced TO drops@
lash, aud that the party may come into po"d
which, though politically helpless TO apply
radical cure to the evils under which the poo
whites Of the South have 50 long suffered, will d
least be able to prevent their growth by eKtensoa
and Will compel the slaveholders ~ meet tho ine'
table consequences of Slavery within ceraii
confined limit. But this done, and there Is NOR
to do and this he relies on the non's'a'eho%
eu and the rational and good men among tn
shareholders themselves to do. He recognizes %
remedy but abolition and though Republican,
not necessarily an Aboitionist, as Republics
indeed, can have no opinion upon the subject, ~
very properly and very legitmately be may gl'dP
spread knowledge Of these facts which, wlats'f
msy be their final consequence, are the jusihcau"
of Republic snism, aud the cause Of its existence
