TnE srufID MASSES IN THE SOUTH.
/ IL is expected that tho stupid and scquacious
masses, the white victims Of slavery, will believe
and, as Il general thing, they do believe, what.
ever the shareholders tell them; and thus il il
that they are caiued into the notion that they
arc the treest, hnppiest and most Intelligent
people in the world, and are taught to look with
| prejudice and disapprobation upon every new
| principle or progressive movement Thus il IL
that the South, wolully inert and inventionlcss,
has Jagged behind the North. and ID now wclter-
ing in the cesspool of ignorance and degradation
I We contend that many years of continual blush.
inS and sererp penancc would not suffice to cancel
or annual The shame md disgrace that Justify at
tacles to the South in consequence of slavery
the dircst evil that e'er befel tho land-thut the
South bears nothing like evena respectable a prox-
imation to the North in navigation, commerce or
manufactures, and that, contrary to the opinion
entertained by ninety-nine hundredths Of her
people, she is far behind the free States in the
only thing Of which she has ever dared to bost-

THE NORTH MUST SEIZE TIE RICHES OF THE SOUTH.
Nature has been kind to US in all things The
strata and Substrata of the South are profusely
enriched with gold and silver, and precious stones
and from the natural orilces and aqueducts in
Virginia, and North Carolina flow tho purest
healing waters in the world But of what avail
is all this latent wealth OF what avail will it
ever be, so long as slavery is permitted to play
the dog in the manger, TO these queries there
can be made but one reply. Sluyery must bv
throttled The South, so great and SO glorious by
nature, must be reclaimed from her inflmy and
degradation our cities, fields and forests must be
kept intact from the unsparing monster the
various and ample resources of our vast domain,
subtcrraneous as vol as superficial, must be de-
vcloped, and made to contribute to our pleasures
and the necessities Of the world.
REVOLUTION MUST FREE THE SLAVES.
The great revolutionary movement which was
set on foot in Charlotte. NIccklenburg county
North Carolina, on tho Goth day of May, l775.
has not yet been terminated nor will it be, until
every slave in the United States is freed from tho
tyranny Of his master Every victim Of the vile
Institution, whether white or black, must be re-
invested with the sacred rights and privileges Of
which he has been deprived by an inhuman
oligarchy. What our noble sires Of the revolu-
ton left unfinished it is our duty to complete.
To this principle the North has adhered with
the strctest fidelity. How has it been with the
South HAS she imitatei the praiseworthy ex-
ample of our illustrious ancestors No She has
treated it with the utmost contempt; she has
been extremely seliish-so selfish indeed that
she has robbed posterity its natural inaiena-
bic rights From the period of tho formation of
The COVE rnment down to the present moment
her policy has been downright suicidal, and, as
matter of course, wholly indefensibe. She has
rugged viper to her breast her whole system
ias been paralyzed, her conscience is scared, and
still holding in her embrace the cause of her
hame and suffering, she is becoming callous to
very principle of Justice and magnanimity Ex-
ept among the nonslaveholders, who, beside be-
ng kept in the grossest ignorance, are under the
estraint of all manner of iniquitious laws, patr-
