THE BARBARIsN AND ATHuIsM OF ABoLITIoHIsM.
When Lord North proposed to employ the In.
dians, the North American savages, as allies Of
England, for the subjugatiOn Of the rebellious
American Colonies, the civilized world stood
amazed at the borrid atrocity Of design; and
while it enlisted the influence, power and elO-
9uence Of the greatest and best men Of the
British Empire, 10 opposition to the views Of
the Government, aud 10 aid and comfort Of those
whom the Government wished 10 subjugAte or
destroy, the barbarOus design OF the British
Premier, enlisted in defence Of the colonies, not
only the sympathy, but brought them material
aid from all the civilized nations Of Europe.
HUrrid rs IL the recital of atrocities prncticed
by different nations Of mankind UpOn their
enemies, the whole history Of baTbaFism, since
the creation Of man, sinks into comparative
humanity and benevOlence, when compared
with the malignant, hendish, HtrOciOuS, brutal
design Of the leaders Of the Republican Ab0li-
tion party Of the present day. All the inhu-
Inanity, bArbarism nnd atFUcIty committed BY
ancient or modern natiUns, have been commit.
ted upon their enemies but II has remained
for the most enlightened. refined, prosperous
aud free people that ever have or that now in
habit the earth, 10 commit tho hcll.bOrn, the
most didbolical, the bluCkeSt crime known to
man, upon their own nation their own race
and people, not their enemies, but their best
and trucst and only friSndS. For the avOwcd
purpose Of destroying Southern society, they
fo!dly and openly advocate u servlle insurrOe-
iion Of tue negro element Of the Southern pop
ulaiiGn. They do not stop there but they in
flame the Northern mind To aid IN the bOrrid
work they furnish enIisSaries 10 incite the ne

To execute their blondy work, aud in the late
developments in Texas, they have initiated the
Thugs Of India, by distributing to the negro
the most certain destructive and deadly pOisOD
known to man. with directions TO use Il for the
indscriminate destruction Of the white race.
Now, in the name Of humanity and common
sense, we ask, what is the object Of this AbOli-
n.hrpubiican -rnrty What -goOd- do they
propose TO accomplish by the wholesale and in.
discriminate destruction of the white people Of
the South aud their property What crime
has the South committed against the North
that they should be thus summary extermin-
atcd Arc they the natural and irrec0ncilable
enemies Of the people Of the NorthP Have
they committed any crime against the common
government, or the people Of the North, 50
heniUus and unpnrdonahle as to justify the pcO-
pie Of the North in exterminAting them, 10
Earbarous nations in aIl ages Of tho world have
done with their enemiesY We invite the seri-
Gus aud careful attention Of the whole people,
while we examine and endeavOr To show the
relations existing between the North and the
South, and the true condition aud policy Of the
country. The Abolition Republican party have
charged the South with the acquisition OF all
the Territory which has been acquired since
the adoption Of the Constitution. Admit the

But, independent Of this vital principle, what
would be our present position among the ma

were yet confined to the limits Of the original

purchase Of Florida, and the annexation Of
Texas, have given the United Slates the COM

staple productions Of that territory. The &C.

our dominons over the continent, esd given us
