" have svowed tn mselses open advocates Tor the
" abolition Of Slavery" He goes on to reason that

Others Of tbst boay would cast the saUe vote In
view of this dreadful seduction, he asks: What
are the expectations Of tbs South y Nov IL
would have saved US q great deal Of trouble, If
Jsmes Pinckney Hambleton, after ashog this To-
terestpg question, had taken just q little more
trouble, and had answered it.
We know very we'll what the South once OK
pecisd. A dumb Northern pulpit. syc"ptaosic
Northern merchants, awning aud fase Northern
press volunteer Northern catcbpoles--tSese were
not merely the "eIpectatons" but the realiza-
tioDs Of the South. And more than these tney
looked for, and more than these they got
There was a time when the South expected"
Northern members Of Congress to be biodly ODE
dent; when the South expected unneasured
difference and urques'ioniDg compliance, add ~ss
not disappointed; when the South flung the petit
lions of Northern constituencies under ths table or
out of the window; and hardly anybody had pluck
enough to whisper protest; when the South Eek
"pecied" that this delightful condition of affairs
W uld last forever WeIl things have cbaoged.
With COMMON prudence, these arrogant coitoo-
planters and tobacco-eIo Ters in view OF the macy
blesrpgs IesullDg from cotton and tobacco, might
have domineered a little longer. Bat theS were
tnomoyed Of pewer; and they found such luxury
in lasbing, that they wefe not wise eoougd to leave

that it was lot dependent upon TIE human iotrlect
for its solution. 1t began to appear that radi-
cay faIse system could not give to this country or
to any country the stability aud prosperity OF tede
one. And above all, it grew clearer AID clearer to
all eyes that saw at ALL that while the moral wrong
of Slavery could not by the sharpest tongue aud the
most sensitive nature be exaggerated, the political
ard economical wrongs were equally intoleiabe.
The folly Of tho Southern States accelerated all
these conclusions. If Northern men were disposed
to be quiet Southern politicians cnuboed them into
Indignant Queries Nobody could get low enough;
NOBODY could eat dirt enough: nobody could fa@n
humbly enough. The consequence has been that
TIE Northern people, weary Of fruitless aeques-
ceDce, and regardless of the feelings Of james Puck
pey Hsmblet0n, baoe determined to try another
course. His remedy for this outrageous iudepend
ence is t. hang somebody Toe rope is in truth tho
great Southern Remedy, though burDiog alive has
its advocates, and there those who stl adhere
to Adhesive tar Bent thus upon hanging as he is,
1t beeomes matter Of interest TO knew who Is to
be bur @ by Hsmbeton. He informs us thai I" Abo-

troe ks no delay. There are, he sa,s, forty of
the &c Abolition assassibs' in Atlanta. "Let our

IiDelesd.rs that infect this community by a gee.

" unnecessary to erect a gallowa, bat swing them
" like dogs from the most convenient place"
This is tolerably savage; but james Pinckuey
Hsmbleton goes considerably further. He vOun- |
teers to be the hangman. He promises when the |
time for action ,come., to point out the victims add
to turn them off with his own hands. Aa an ANA |
teur haDginaD he objects 10 the OF ropes. go We
% sie," he ssys, opposed to hanging an Adolf
&c tioust with d rope. We prefer something that's
indigenous to the SOL of the country. Hence we
" suggest tough grapevine" Having taus shO sn
the evil and proposed the remedy. Mr. James
PinckDey HombletOn concludes as follows: "The
" Abolition and incendiary scoundrels must be
driven from this city very sOOn or else assassins-
I" ton and murder Will DO the consequence"
Now, there are some penple who will say: This is
fool; he does not mean what he says; why not lei
him aobe' Undoubtedly he is tool; but the
trouble is, that he and men of like savage stripe ere
dangerous fools, murderoas fools, mad fools When
they have reused their wrath TO sufficient altitude
when they haze filled themselves with whisky |
when they have talked themselves into deliriam,
The trouble is that they actually DO the things they
threaten to Co. ssmadmen will. We can suppose thas
thu James E,Uckney HsmbloiOp, tor instance, is
man who, without any particular personal courage, |
would, if backed up by his neghbors, do deeds for
which in civilized countries he would be sent TO the
pentcnliary, or perhaps to the galo@s. 1t is pos
sible that if Unrestrained by law-and in At |
lanta, Ca, there is no law worth mentiOnng--he !
would subject any man against whom he might have |
q grudge, to any mean iniigttIes which ms mean |
oature might sugge.t While pretending to keep |
the peace, and 10 have at heart the quet of che |
town, be- proposes 10 con mt wholesale murder and |
to be himself The Who'll sale murderer Here is |
legitimate of Slavery. 1t creates just such ami
mails az Hambleton-cruel, co sardy, Overbearing, |
iDeqDiIable parodes Of man; animals to be AVOIDED, |
of course, if possible. They have ust reason )ugh
to be dangerous; and just Intelligent enough not
to be slut W. Here is village of them, iull of
risk for civilized man 10 enter as any hamlet in
