WRONGS AND REMEDitS OF TIE S0UTH-N0RTH

We cannot have the truth too deeply impressed OIL
our minds that both the aniisavery sect of the Nort
stand on one and the same uDsOund platform. There
difference principle between mfr ngements Of tn
Federal Cons tuition, in State Territory only
and in al; wiz. without murder, on the one hand, o.
perjury the other between the nulifying Repuhli
can, and the nultying Abolitonis between the trans
gressor, who pungng into flood o. guilt, would hal
IN the midst, nd is more dirng companion who dash
es throug.
But VII may be the comg garaive grade of crime
far, far more dangerous 10 the peace d ait the out
rage practsed and defended by he dominant sect thar
he srey possible repetition OF another insane invasion
by their bOlder associates Ii the achievements OF the for

Suppose that the Southern people yielding 20 the per
suasiye tongues or other still more persuasive weapons
of the Reiormers should resolve on general uueond
tional emancipation. Four or five millions OF black pau
pee are turned loose to compete with the more numer
white paupers OF the Union, native and ioregn lo

every class especially of the lborug class would delnu

Another short illustration:

brother and attended by old woman, who had nur7eC
her when a child One day Northern gentleman whose
acquaintance they had made, called to see them H'
whispered bis surprise at the apparent familiarity oil The
old servant with her master and mistress and at their call

YOU full permission Odd lady, tell me would not YOU

Nanny said her mistress, speak your mind you are
as free here as am" All, msSis wish TO God wa

love between the Abotonis. aud the slave will never COS
much ioy at meeting, nor many tears at parting

require coercion We shall be referred to the example of
other nations who take the power of compusion from
