!. ever forbearing the people of the free
States may be, there is point beyone
which they will not submit; and the very
principle which induces them to bea,

The picture is a fearful ono But il
men will SOW the wind, it is in accord
ance with the inevitable law of cause and
effect. that they must reap the whirlwind,
and what but madness could induce the
handful of shareholders and their servile
tools, to so incense the sentiment of ius-
| tice and comfy in the hearts of the peo
| pie as to call irresistibly for the final
chastisement of their crimes? We know
full well that they rely upon their alli-
ancc with the Northern Democracy to
aid them in their schemes. But we
know. with equal certainty that that re-
lance will be in vain. That party it is
true, now sustains and upholds these
Southern extremists. But they do so
simply because the Buchanans. and
Pierces, and Douglases, the leaders of
the Northern wing Of the party, have
been able to promote their ownambition
by so doing. That the masses of the
Democratic party in the North, the ION
est free iaborers of the country, have any
real sympathy with the despotic schemes
of the desperate men who control the or
ganization, is not true. And just so soon
as these leaders find that their trucking
subserviency will no longer pay, they
will, of course, cease to fawn. That
time is fast approaching. Already, in
all the free States, they have been driven
from place and power under the State
Government, and their. only hope of re-
tanning the spoils is by the utmost abase-
ment and cringing to the slave power;
and this will be continued only so long
as that power can control the General
Government and pay them by the cor
rupt use of its patronage. But let the
people, as they soon will, wrest the Ma
tional Government from there grasp, and
the slaveholdrs, no longer having the
means in Offices and money to reward
the dough-faces, will find them their
bitterest enemies There is no honest
sympathy between them now. They
serve as mere mercenaries for pay
Stop the pay and the service will, be
withheld, and the pretended friendship
will be changed to open hate. And
woe be to the peculiar institution and
its upholders when these ssrevolted
troops shall turn in fury upon them
If the South was not blinded with pass
ion and fanaticism it could not fail to
see this. But in their blindness they
seem to think that as long as they can
purchase the Northern leaders, the hon
est voters will follow And acting on
this idea they proceed, as above. to all
manner Of outrages. eI.r Ia.;sit
# hat retribution will overtake the
perpetrators of crime is truth of which
all history is but the Illustration And
that retribution is most terrible when
God in his Providence permits evil men
to execute His judgments while they at
the same time suppose they are but ex-
ecuting their own. That the upholders
of Slavery are preparing seourge for
themselves, is as clear to an impartial OBJ
server, as if it was already written his
tory.
