the BLACK Republican Programme OF
Revoiutton-Its Effect ON Northern In
terests.
The revolutionary aims which have been
clearly announced by large number of the
most prominent leaders of the black repubH-
can party should awaken the earnest attention
Of every man whose interests are involved in
the social and industrial organization of the
country, and who hopes to leave to his chill
dren the rich Inheritance we have enjoyed
from our fathers.
We published on Saturday last several ex-
tracts from book on the impending crisis Of
the South with copy of the secret circular
recommending it, and to which the names of
many men Of substance in the North and mem
bers Of Congress are attached; and to.day we
give elsewhere in our columns further por-
tons Of the same work. It's proclaimed and
undisguised object is the abolition of slavery
at the South by force, which is to be
exercised by the federal government as
soon as the republican party shall have OBJ
tanned possession of it, while the South
ern States are to be forced to manumit their
slaves or submit to a servile instruction.
If the Southern people should resist this they
are to be held in subsection by the federal
forces Of the Northern States, or driven to
abandon the Southern States to the negroes
and the white abolitionists Such is the pro.
gramme to which are affixed the names CT sixty
eight Northern members of Congress, Co
vernon Morgan, Of the State of New York;
James Kelly, Chairman of the New York
Republican State Central Committee Thur
low Weed, Of Albany; John A. Kennedy Ho-
race Greeley, John Jay, Vim. Henry Anthem,
and many others, who may be found among
the wsalthiest citizens of this city and State.
No man can disguise from himself that the
advent of party to power in this country
which proclaims such principles as these
wonld result at once in civil war that would
rage from Delaware and Chesapeake Bays to
the fartherest limits Of civilization in the valley
election of President on such platform
would produce servile rebellion in the South,
and the consequent arming Of its white citi-
zens for selfpreservation with the necessary
accompaniment Of hostile array against the
North, to resist the incendiary attacks
which the Northern republican leaders
already threaten and defend. The circular
| Of these leaders, and the book it recommends,
are the proclamation of an armed revolution
from one end Of the Union to the other. II is
not for us to view such contest in its effect
upon the negro alone, but we should first, and
above all, contemplate 1t in its reactiye effect
upon our own interests at the North, and upon
those Of the whole civilized world at large.
The entire fabric Of social organization at the
North, the value Of all our public works and
private property, our houses and lots, our
farms and gardens, our mills, our FORCES, our
manufactures, our ships and steamers, the ex-
tent of our imports for home consumption, and
our exports to foreign markets, and the
mighty throng of industry and trade that
courses along our railroads and our rivers, are
all bound up for life or death with the social
organization and prosperity Of the South. This
viii be evident to every man who will look
without passion upon the daily movements Of
