uentS IN ADDeVlile, In response W quoHi0o
heretofore noticed. We have not room
for the whole letter:
II ask in the name of common sense, is
there any more proof wanted by any
sane man as tc what are the avowed pur-
poses of the, Black Republican party.
But, says the Union shrielSers, we will
wait for the ocert act. Time enough yet
to talk about dissolving this Union, when
Congress passes q law abolishing slavery
in the Territories, or in the District OF
Columbia, or in the Forts and Arsenals
: of the slave States, or attempt to inter-
dict the slave trade between the slave
States You will never see these orert
acts put into law. The leaders OF the
Black Republican party are shrewd and
cunning men. They know full we'll, that
were they to attempt such direct leglsla-
ton, the South would be aroused from
her supineness and lethargy, and would
to man resist such assaults upon their
property. No, this will not be their
mode of attack. They will first lull into
false security, by an outward show Of
protection to our property, and an adhe-
renee to the Constitution. Our fears be-
ing quieted, they will then commence in
stilling their insidious poison by distribu-
ting the $50, 100000 of treasury literally
to our people in the way of Offices at
home and abroad by putting men Of
their own stamp into our Post Offices,
and on our Post Roads. They will hunt
out all the mon in our midst who have
sstender ,consciences" upon the subject of
slavery, and ply them with promises Of
Office and position, until they yield them
selves willing instrument in their hands
to carry on the hellish work in our midst.
''Our people in this way will become SO
familiarized with these small acts of ag-
gression, that in short time men in our
midst will begin to say it is not such
bad government after all-if other States
can stand it, South Carolina ought A
few more years men will be found, who
have taken care in the meantime, to sell
their negroes and pocketed the price Of
the blood to talk about the right which
a master has to set his negroes free if he
desires, and that the law now prohibiting
it, ought to be repealed. In this way will
be formed parties in every District and
county of the slavcholding States, sustain
ing this dominant party. These small
parties will increase under the auspices
and patronage Of the Black Republicans,
until District after District, county after
county falls in their power They willso
circumvent and surround slavery with a
Gordon of free States on our North and
West and with the Atlantic on our East,
and the Gulf on our South, they will
make slavery stink in our nostrils.' To
save ourselves, our wives, and our chill
dren from the contaminating influence Of
the insolent and reoellious negro, are acM
be made to abolish Slavery ourselves. They
will not do the ouert act that some Union
men are waiting for. Not they But
they will bring to bear the whole force
and power of the Government upon
the South, in such away that abolition
will be far preferable than the attempt
to hold the negro in slavery, with such
influences acting and melting him to ra-
pine and murder.
"This, You say, is impossible-it is an
overwrought picture Of the workings of
the Government in the hands of the Black
Republicans. Then, for proof point you
to the city Of st. Louis-one of the lar
gest cities on the banks of the Mississippi,
and the emporium of the State of Missou-
ri, which has slave population of 10000 |
Who would have thought ten years ago,
aye, five years ago, that an avowed Black
Republican could be elected in that State
1t has been done within the last five
weeks, in the person of F. P. Blair, Jr.,
and more reckless and violent Aboli-
zionist does not live North of Mason and
Dixon's line. Let me point you to the
present excited condition of Texas Look
at the burning Of her cities, towns, villa
ges and houses; and the poisoning and
numbering of her mon, women and chill
dren that was contemplated Whose
work is this? 1t is the ''irrepressiblc con-
fict" already commenced, before the par
ty is in power. If the Abolitionists can
thus destroy our property and excite our
people by merely sending their agents
