From all the recent intelligence we have
received from Connecticut and Rhode Island,
we come to the conclusion that it is highly pro-
bable these States will be carried by the con-
servative elements, against the revolutionary
ideas of black republicanism. II is for the inte-
rest Of the white race, North and South, that
they should do So it is for the interest Of the
black race also-for the interest of humanity
and civilization. We have every confidence in
the shrewd common sense of the people Of these
States, that they will not be led away from the
consideration of their own interests by any ap-
peal to fanaticism or claptrap cry Of the news
papers which talk of their being bought up by
New York funds. The people of Connecticut
and Rhode Island do not require to be bribed
to do what is for their own advantage-that
which will bring them more money than all
that could ever be raised for them by the mer-
chants Of this city. The New England States
are on the point Of being utterly ruined
by the nonintercourse policy Of the
South, which will undoubtedly prevail in
the contingency Of the North communicating
at the ballot box the systematic injustice and
breach Of faith which constitute the pro-
gramme of the republican party. The manu-
featuring interests and commercial relations
OF those States are already seriously affected
by recent political events, and the Irresistible
logic OF these events is that if the same causes
are permitted to operate any longer, complete
| destruction must be the consequence. lie
! religious sentiments Of the citizens Of Connec-
| ticut and Rhode Island are appealed to against
Filthy lucre"-for which, filthy as it is, none
| show greater desire than those who affect
most to despise it. The clergy, for example,
preach against it as 'the root of all evil;" but
| they get oil they can Of it themselves; and,
| like one Of the Roman Emperors who imposed
tax upon one Of the most filthy of the excre-
lions of the human body, and said the
money derived from it smelled particularly
sweet, they regard the almighty dollar as the
fairest and purest of earthly objects, and
sweeter by far than the ottar of roses With
the dollar they prosecute their missionary
schemes to the ends of the earth. and
with the dollar they purchase OF build for
themselves very handsome houses and live
like the sons of kings. Without money
mans piety avails him nothing; for if he can
not afford to pay for pew in church he must
take back seat, and he is very lucky if be
gets seat at all. At all the religious anniver-
saries, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the
last thing, is money. And what is that for
which men associate together in political COM
munities! 1t is that they may make all the
money they can. And what was the object of
the American Revolution of 1776? It was mo-
ney-to gain sixpence-to strike Off six cents
| from the price of q pound of tea. Money is
the representative of value of every kind
| piety included. And what is this question of
religion and conscience that is placed in the
| scale against the interests of the people Of
New England 1t is the worship of the al
! mighty nigger-that black President should
be elected, and some lovely Dinah do the
honors of the White House; that black Sena-
tors should sit in Congress, side by side with
Seward: that an array of black beauty and
fashion should occupy the front seats
in the Opera house, and the most pro-
minent pews in our churches; in fine,
that black men should have the privi-
lege of marrying the white daughters of the
AngloSaxon race, and producing mongrel
breed like the Spanish American colonies
Thus the whole conscience in the matter Is no.
thing more than amalgamation- deteriora-
ton Of the white blood of the Caucasian race,
and the elevation of the black to a social and
political position for which the Creator never
designed him, and for which he has no aspira-
ton himself Every attempt to pass the bar
rier which God has placed brings misery upon
the black man and curse upon the white, thus
showing that the immutable laws Of nature are
stronger than human laws, and cannot be VIC
lated with impunity.
| For these reasons, therefore, and for every
consideration that can appeal to the patriotism
and the selfinterest of the people of New Eng
land, we hope that the two elections which will
take place in few days will result in the
discontinue Of party whose platform is
fraught with destruction to the commercial re-
lations between the North and the South de-
struction to the manufacturing interests of New
England, destruction to the labor of the peo-
! pie, destruction to the value of property, de-
struction to the peace Of the country, destrnc-
ton to the Union of the States, destruction to
their present prosperity and their future
progress, and destruction to that matchless sys-
tenn of liberty invented and erected for us by
our Revolutionary ancestors, sacred temple,
whose ruins, if republican fanaticism should
| prevail, posterity will water with their tears,
| and sigh in vain for the freedom that has been
/ lost forever.
