can doubt that the fever Of Aboltionlsn has
advanced with tremendous strides since the

You men of the South, who have yelled,
gasped and howled Abolition for SO many
years at every futterng Northern rag, do you
know ,chat the wolf will look like when he real

and the dough. faces, ay, and true Northern
shepherds, too, have run time and again to help
you, and found that it was all naught. COP

were worshipping about it. And the gun-pow-

An abolitonzed North would be belt of
ruin to the South, though the latter had ten
times it present power As said of the war,
nobody has as yet learned it in all its fulness-
W hen man becomes an out andout abolition
list, he thinks that to free a negro, and if need
be kill his master, is to do GOD service. He be-
comes a fanatic of the most terrible type. Keep
on with your pirate privateering, your intolera-
BILE lies, robberies and murders, and you will see
these fanatics sprnging up by millions. You
have heard Of the late great military rising in
the North, Of the men who pour in to be enlist
ed, OF the millions subscribed. Let real aboli-
tionism 60 on at the present rate, and, as the
LORD liycth, there will be rising compared to
which this excitement will be as lucfcr match
to powder-mill explosion. For then your last
active, fearfully active foe, will be the last
living man of the North.
The not very scrupulous multitude will in

South. Beware of man who has revolver

There will be little dread then of what we shall
do with you if conquered. A South without
negro slaves cannot be imagined as existing.
You can be reduced to territories, or whatever
we please. There is nothing but the negro in

When the North officially recognizes the
freedom of the black, the jig will be up. How

orphans and brotherless brothers and fathers

treason have hung Grape over ten thousand

recognition of general emancipation there will |
