hilt, in order, as the liturgy says, to "grant
peace in our time, 0 Lord" But here
comes, in our greater day, the great Pike,
Pike te nsagne, penny-a-liner to the New
York Tribune" co-negro hater of the dis
tinguished Mr.. Horace Greeley and pro-
poses to "coop IN" and slough Oft" four
millions of black people. lobe sure, Pike
afterwards says "that the African and eau.
casian in this part of the continent must
first separate, in order to establish the cor
ditions under which future union or fu-
sion of these races is possible" But
here Pike is decidedly muddy. There is
no such thing as uniting the dead with the
living, the part which has been sloughed
off with the part from which it has been
thus separated. What worse than YAM
pire he must be to propose to unite dead
negroes with living white men and wo-

We limited, last week, with deep sOlici-
tude, at the possible denaenti0 of the editor
in.chief of the New York Tribune" 1t
is but charity to hope that Pike is abso-
lutely crazy, a proper inmate for the mad
house; the only wonder is that statement
so foolishly horrible should have been per-
mitted admission even in the columns OF
that newspaper There is just one point,
however. on which we coincide with Pike.
There will be some slOugbang done in the
progress of the negro question. The men
who, with all the light of the nineteenth
century blazing upon them, with the ma
tional conscience grooming beneath them,
and seeking light and guidance in the path
of freedom and justice-we say that the
men so enlightened, and so lookedupto, who
shall yet suffer petty personal aversions, or
dim hopes of party Triumph, to cause
them to utter such dark counsels as those
of Pike, and Greeley, and Blair, and Doc
little, these men lciN be Sl0ughed of from
all that is good and true in the land, aud
will lie blasted beneath the bright and
shimmery light of a truth which they will
not comprehend, and a justice to the negro
which they are too feeble kneed to stand
up before.
Why, the Legislature of Maryland, in
refusing to pass the free negro bill, stands
beyond these men as day does to night.
Judge Catron, of the Supreme Court, in
his appeal against the Tennessee free ne
gro bill, is saint of light as compared
with these creatures of darkness And we
here warn the Republican party that there
is one in this land against which neither
they nor the gates of hell can prevail
and that is, the negro. God has placed
him here, and will keep him here. Clay
and Calhoun, McDufy and Greeley, yea,
the immortal Pike, are but individuals,
whose expressions are limited by years
three score and ten--but the negro is race,
strong, multiplying and enduring, whose
triumph will como when tt csc haters have
sloughed of and "41rgotten lie"
One word more Our brethren of the
Garrisonian faith, have plead as seldom
men have plead before, in behalf of the
doctrine of come-outer-ism, in Church and
State. They have hurled their intensest
thunder upon the false-hearted and unprin-
cipled abolitionists who remain in ecclesi-
astical or political connection with those
who uphold slavery anywhere. With
what consistency can the Secretary of that
society continue to be an employee in the
Office of the New York Tribune" which
is pledged to uphold slavery in the slave
States as long as those States will have
slavery to exist-and with what consisten-
cy can the most brilliant writer Of the Gar
risonian party continue to receive his thir-
ty pieces of silver, yoked to one who, like
the great Pike, proposes to slough of four
millions of human beings2
