Northern honor to be sustained by men in
the pay and keeping of those who would
weaken and reduce US. In the ordinary
business of life we never trust the faithless
and dishonest | can imagine no reason for
engaging such as sentinels over our entire
fortunes. Just SO long as our Custom
Houses, Post Offices, Navy Yards and MINIS
shall be stocked with thousands, selected
virtually by those who are in banded oppo-
sition to us, and whose principal business,
we are instructed to believe, is compound
ing politics with per6dy, it will be impos-
sible to render our condition better than it
is. These leper-yards must he cleansed,
Their occupants load the air with a con-
tsgious corruption
Throul ut their bodies and their souls
they bear the marks of distemper, with
which the aristocratic pollutionist has
touched them. I risk but little in saying
that, at this very hour, this mighty phal-
anx, scattered throughout the eighteen
Northern States having a common and
powerful bond of Union, are devising meas
ures to despoil our industrial classes by
combining them in densely crowded fields of
labor, or forcing them to enter into compe-
tition and companionship with ignorant anC
brutalized bondmsn. They all, yes all,
| have been brought to believe that the doc

are but stereotyped lies; that the founders
of the nation had but sorry conception of
inalienabe rights; that the Constitution
which they framed was intended as an in
strument of cruelty and crime; and that
the farest feature of free republican asso-
citation is a union of States peopled with
the lowest grade of slaves. Am l right
What is the trouble against which we have
to contend? Is it not the steady influence
of what may, with propriety, be called po-

mind, and faint the public heart? Is it not
an Administration blackened with treache-

weight of its depravity, using all the pa
tronage of Office, and all the destinations of
position, to utterly destroy us, by making
the Territories of the country but garrisons
for the enemies of freedom, and the labor of
white men degrading and fruitless, beyond
the limits of the present States? If | am
in error, what is the correct Interpretation

years?

of redress for existing abuses will be de-

resistance. In studies of the fundamental
doctrines of our common charter, and in the
dispensations Of the favors of Government,
we should never know North, South, an

others act as if they thought differently.
trust we shall be always able to command
the exercise of such a patriotism and conf
