Abolitionisss are the enemies of the South
and Of the quiet and well-being of the whole
country; and We verify believe they are the
seorst enemies % the happiness Of The negroes.
They are noisy and pestiferous at dis
lance from US; and mostly pestiferous where
| they can be noisy. Hence Northern society
suffers. And yet we must admit the liberty
of speech is guaranteed to them. as it is TO
| others. The temple of liberty must not be
viole;.tly pulled down, or one of its pillars
removed, as a means to crush out a pestileft'
/ fdnaticism. Do not ask that mob violence

rous madmen. sTIe
| No people, no community, North or South,
did ever gain permanent advantage, in feel
| ing, sentiment, character or condition by
mob violence. The force and dignity Of all
| law, the power of moral sentiment. and the
| safe guards of rights of person and rights of
property are all outraged, when private eiti-
zens. arrogate to themselves the right to adj
judge and punish individuals by them deemed
offenders or obnoxious. -

Messrs. Editors we shall trespass too far
upon your space, if we give vent to our feel

eign to the subject; the necessity or propriety

Either number can be had in this State at
moments warming and will promptly
fall into ranks. and can dare and do all
there is no present or prospective necessity,
(Gen. Pillow himself being judge). to call
ior either number named by him.
Who has attempted to sum up the absolute
loss in time, money. equipments and pa
rades, within this State, during the recent
Presidential canvass ?--and there are other
items to be taken into the estimate, which
are of infinitely more Importance than dollars
and cents. These belong not only to the
science of morals, but must be carefully con-
sdered by every patriot and legislator.

That p:ovocations have been given, and

men know, but we believe that the remedy |
is not to be found in secession, in threats, nor
in Southern military organizations.
