Gated above, the Tribune publishes daily the most
unfounded statements Of the condition and re.
sources Of the South; and ntersperses its articles
with insulting sneers at the slave section, her cit
zens and institutions. 1t treats the Indignation
throughout the South, called forth by the raid Of
Brown, as only entitled to contempt. 1t laughs al
the fears Of the best men in the country, that q
dissolution Of the Union is impending and declares
that the South cannot, and will not secede-s that
she cannot be kicked out Of the Union;'' and in
snort, leaves no stone unturned in the work Of en-
couraging the Northern fanatics in their insane
crusade against the South. BY deceivng them into
the belief that such can be carried on with i'm.
punity. We fear, unless some means be taken to

that it's traitorous conductor will achieve the end
he has in view.
Nobody can survey the political horizon without
being aware Of the presence of threatening clouds
If this Confederacy is to be preserved in its in
tegrty for ten years longer, there must be total
revolution in the minds Of the Northern people
with respect to Southern rights and Southern
people. Abolition aggressons have been carried
as far as it Is possible for the South to permit.
Another inch in advance, and the South must
f.esist-she cannot help herself. This fact should
be carried home to the Northern people, and they
should be made to comprehend how wofally they
are being deceived when they put confidence in
the Tribune, or any other treacherous print, which
asserts that there is danger. Those papers that
talk thus are not honest They are striving for an
aim, and that aim is, the disruption of the Union

As the particulars Of the late horrible disaster
at Lawrence, Massachusetts,, are brought to light
we are more and more impressed with the Grim
inality Of the proprietors Of the Pemberton Mills
1t seems that the building in which were labtually
employed about one thousand girls when put up
some six years ago, was universally considered
unsafe. Before the machinery could be put in,
numbers Of iron braces and anchors had to be
used to make the thin and rickety walls stand up
at all, and even then, everybody regarded the
structure as extremely perilous. Notwithstanding
this knowledge, the propretors crowded it with
young girls--many of whom were the sole support
OF aged mothers, Of infant sisters and brothers
and permitted them to labor on, day after
day, in the very jaws of a horrible death, which
finally swallowed up two or three hundred Of
them! But what cared those rich proprietorsa The

find food to eat and protection against the frost of
winter, young girls must learn to live calmly and
sit at their looms without terror, while death in his
most horrible aspect, with mangled forms and
seorched flesh, is continually peering through the
cresices in the crazy walls of the factory"
We are glad to see that some of the Northern
papers are calling attention to the inconsistency of
those people who, permitting the wholesale slaugl
ter OF their own sisters and friends at home are
pretende6ly Mortified at the eraleties Of Southern
masters to their slaves! The following article is
from the New York Herald, aad it contains some
wholesome truths for Yankee digestion:
The shocking catastrophe which occurred at the
manufacturing town of Lawrence, Massachusetts,
by the falling of the Pemberton Mills will strike
every humane mind with horror. There is cir
cumstance in connection with ealamities of this
kind Which at once suggests itself as illustrative of
the diferenee between the labor system at the
n North and south. No such accident as this, with
Its appalling and reckless sacrifice of human life
ever occurs at the South. There the lives and com
forts OF the coored operatives are sacredIy cared
tor while IN the manufacturing towns Of the North
the poor white operatives are ruthessly exposed
to dangers and msfortunes of all kinds The stock
holders of our Northern manufacturing companies
have no consideration for their operatives exeent
to get the most work they can out of them; and
they care not whether they are hurried TO fright
tul death by the falling of an insecure building or
whether they perish miserably and forlorn in a
poor-hnuse when they can no longer be rendered

stroyed mills at Lawrence were insured: If so,
what matters it to the company that some hun

sneh Is the heartless system of our Northern manu-
towns.
But in the South, how different the condition of
the colored operativesl No one ever hears of six
or seven hundred of them being exposed to the
uahger OF horrible DEATH in an unsafe building
by Their masters; their lives are too precious and
their labor too valuable They are well cared for
IN their helpless youth, well fed and clothed, and
their health scrupulously attended to in their ma
.urlty, and kindly nourished in their old age and
ieerepltude, thus presenting a strong contrast to

and Northern States, for whom their masters never
