and every faculty must be exerted, in order
to extricate ourselves from the peril. A
revolution in our government is on foot.
and we must prepare to meet it. Aboli-

greatest of all evils. religious fanaticism.

their thousands of attentive listeners thew

They are more destitute of charity and
christianity than the widest savage that
ever danced around the flames that wasted

the most benighted heathen. does not teach
him to slay his brethren. They never call.

Spirit. They never gave. in charity. in
struments of destruction to their famishing
brethren. ALI heathen of whom I have
ever heard or read. were devout christians
when compared to the Beecher-ites and 9th

Of view, they are no better. Not content
with starving the unfortunate free negroes
who have been so unlucky Is to fall into
their hands. they must follow the proscrib-
ed race into their com fortsble homes and
essay to force them into the land of misery,
unblushing shame. corruption and irrelig-
ion. They are not contented with the thou
sands of white men. women and children,
who perish at their cruol hands every year,
but they must seek new victims in another
country. Their bawdy-houses, noisome aud
fetd cellars are not yet full enough Of crims
and pollution. Instead Of attempting to
alleviate the suferings Of those who cry
daily in their strests for brad, they must
follow the .Assr falsehood :" into southern
