Frenchmen quartered at New Orleans and
at the Chesapeake, and the South would

and fertile country, while our railroad

every quarter snapped like SPIDERS web
be the hurricane of civil war. And while
the strife between England and France is
impending for the mastery of both sea and
land the armed millions of Europe would
look on with breathless anxiety, while our
once happy and peaceful land, but for the
Abolitionist and negro. would be the scene
of civil war, the most deadly of all wars
knife to knife, face to face, steel to steel,
brother against brother, father against son,
mother against child, and this fair land
would bleed at every pore. Better far,
that the whole African race should be an
initiated, and all the silly white race de-
stroyed, and our Union and our liberties
perpetuated.
If the course which has been so wick
edly and wilfully pursued by the fanatics
Of the North is continued, the result will
be as | have portrayed it. and your wailing
for your fallen country will come too late.
Palefaced poverty and dismay will stare
you in the face at every corner. Your
manufactures will cease and your starving
thousands will fly to more productive and
less fanatical land for bread. But should
the South be unable to make an alliance
with either England or France, think you
she will tamely submit to Northern insult
and domination? No, never She will
command the commerce of the Mississip-
pi river and its tributaries, and should the
North, after years of bloodshed, be sue
cessful in the contest, it will cost the North
more than the price of all the negroes twice
told to possess the land and the life Of ev-
cry white man that has soul. The South
fer thousand miles holds the outlets of
the Fathers Of Waters, and will dye them
and it's swamps with the blood Of thous
ands, both sons of the soil and its enemies
While there is lucifer match to burn your
bridges, or a stone or log to obstruct Jour
commerce, the vengeance of the foe will be
upon you. In turn you can do much to
desolate and destroy; but you cannot dam
up the Mississippi. nor dip it dry. Swamp
foxes will be upon you at every bayou, and
even the alligators will be your enemies.
Pause, then, sir, and lift the veil of the
future, which is just before you, and stay
the fanatical hand now lifted to strike. If
you do not, like Macbeth, your own sleep
will be murdered and the sleep of thous-
ands. You shall NIGER wash the stain of
the blood of your reistives from yours own
hands, the hands of your wife or the hands
Of your sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe
Call round you Senator Seward, Wendell
Phillips, Joshua r. (iiddings and Fred
Douglas, and visit your first victim in the
lunatic asylum. Gerrlt Smith, of New York.
Call prayer meeting and pray Old John
tory, perhaps from hell, where all of you
should have gone before. Ask God to for
give you for your wickedness, wash your
filthy garments, go thy way and Gin no
more, sin no longer against your conscience
and your country's constitution. No long

and make niggers your equals, while you

gro husbands for your daughters.
Your knowledge of national history can
but convince you of the truthfulness of the
best authorities, that there is no identity of
origin, no equality in mental or physical
organization, and that the negro has been
what he is for four thousand years, and will
be the same for four thousand years to
come. The white man has scarcely prov
ed the problem of self-government-th
NEGRO never has and never can.
If your honor is engaged. and your con-
science smites you, and you find that the
records of your country implicate both
Old and New England IN the introduction Of
this. unhallowed traffic. who stole them
from Africa and sold them in bondage to
the South; and you wish to pay the pur
chase money back, with the interest of the
debt, and do not wish to steal and sell them
acain, we would ask, where is the money
to pay for them? Where is the seven hun
dred millions to buy them? Where is the
money to sustain them as free people?-
Paw first the interest upon yonr railroad
debt of eight hundred millions before you
borrow more to buy negroes, One of these
two propositions must be pursued; either
to eyterminase the white man and give the
soil to the negro, or purchase and trans
port the negro, either of which is wholly
impracticable. But while you teach them
to murder the white man, and violate the
white woman, you will never teach them
the religion of Jesus Christ. with all your
bahbling preachers. The boast of the peo-
ple of the North that they can overrun the
South is bravado. In every mountain
pass they will meet Jackson, Taylor. or
a Leonidas, and Marion iD every swamp.
The Swamp Fox of the Pedee and Santee
