We append a few OF the extracts con-
tanned in the circular, that our readers
may have some idea of the character of
t is book, gotten up for the express pur>
pose of melting rebellion in the South,
and exasperating the fanatics of the
North. That it is Republican scheme,
the fact of its being endorsed by SIXTY
EIGHT r publican members of Congress
sufficiently attests:
THE NORTH MUST SEIZE THE RICHES OF
THE SOUTH.
Nature has been kind to us in all
things. The strata and substrata of the
south are profuseiy enriched with gold
and silver, and precious stones, and from
the natural oriticcs and acqueducts in
Virginia and North Caroln ma, flow the
purcst healing waters in the world. But
of what avail is all this latent wealth !?
OF what avail will it ever be, SO long rs
slavery is permitted to play the dog in
the Manager? TO these queries there
can be but one reply. Slavery must be
throttled; tho south, so great and so
glorious by nature, must be reclaimed
from her nfAmy and degradation; on,
cities, fields and forests, must be kept in
tact from the unsparing m ,ns,cr; the
various aud ample resources OF our Vast
domain, snbter,aneuus as well rs super
fetal, must be developed, and made to
contri5n,e to our pleasures, and to the
necessities of the world.
REVOLUTION MUST FREE THE SLAVES.
The great revolutionary movement
which was set on foot in Charlotte,
M-cklcnburg, North Carolina, on the
Goth day of May, l775, has not yet been
term'"ateh, nor vii; it be, until every
slave in the United States IS freed from
the tyranny OF his master. Every VIC
tim If the vile institution, whether white
or black, must he reinvested with the
sacred ghts and privileges Of which he
has been deprived by an ,nhumau oil
gsrchy. What on noble sires of the
revolution left unfinished it is our duty
t. complete.
+" tn principle the north has adhered
with the strlcIest fidelity. How has it
been with the south Has she initiated
the pra seworthy example Of our illus
tr,ous ancestors! No! She has treat.
ed t with the utmost contempt she has
been extremely selfish-so selfish, 10
deed, that she has robbed posterity Of
its natural inalienable rights. From the
period OF the formation of the govern
mcut down to the present moment, her
policy has been downright suicidal, and,
as q matter of course. wholly indefensl.
bic. She has Rugged viper to her
breast; her whole system has been par
allied, her conscience is scared, and still
holding in her embrace the cause of her
shame and suffering, she is becoming
callous to every principle of Justice and
magn smimity. Except among the non.
Shareholders, who, beside being kept in
the grossest ignorance, are under the
restraint Of all manner ofiuiquitous laws,
patriotism has almost ceased to exist
within her borders. And here We desire
to be distinctly understood, for we shall
have occasion to refer TO this matter
again. We repeat, therefore, the sub.
stance of our averment, that, at this day.
there is scarcely grain Of pure patriot
ism IN the south, except among the nom
shareholders.
THE NORTH TOO sCRUPULOUS-TnET THO.
RY THAT JOHN BROWN PRAcTICED.
With regard to the unnational and
demoraliziog system of slavery, we be.
heve the majority of northern people
are too scrupulous. They seem to
THINK that it is enough for them to be
msre freeso'lers, to keep in check the
oifusive element OF slavery, and to pre-
vent 1t from crossing over the bound.
within which it is now regulated by mn.
nicipal law. Remiss in their nat;ons,
aat'es' as we contend, they make no DOS.
lhve attack upon the institutions in the
southern states. '''
LA they not, in s'the days that tried
mems souls" strike as hard blows to a.
cure the independence of Georgia "A
they did in defending the liberties Of
Massachusetts,, and is it not notoriouslv
true that the toryism of South Carolin.
prolonged the war two years at least I. :
Is il not, moreover, equally true that the
oligarchs of South Carolina have been
unmitigated pests and bores to the gen.
