Seward, in his late message, declared it to be the
mission Of the Government Of the North to g lift
all artificial weights from the shoulders Of man"
What he meant by it is not altogether clear and it
is probable he intended it in Delphic sense, to be
construed Just as every reader should choose. The
Abetonists believe that it is the foreshadowing of
a polieyeof emancipation; but, whether Seward SO
intended it or not it plain that others have not
hesiated to avow this as the ultimate end and aim
| of the Black Republican party. See what the In
dianapolis Journal says. the leading organ of that
| party in Indiana and edited by Lineolnite office
| holder:
Settle it now For so sure as hour follows hour,
so sure will the North never pause till the cause
that brought the war upon it is utterly eXngulshed.
There can be no peace. There can be no compro-
mise, 1t is war to the utter humiliation of slavery.
The day. OF henied words has passed. The day of
bloody deeds has come. Aud let those who do the

Hear also the declarations of Ex-Governor Bout
WELL of Massachusetts, in speech delivered on the
4th of July:
| Now, then Isay here, to-day, that this contest,
naugurated by the rebels of the South will have
no successful and complete end until you in some
way assert the doctrine that liberty is not the prop
erty of any race; that it is not the exclusive right
OF any Glass; thatit does not belong to any nation,
but that it is the God given right Of all the sons of
men. donot say that the four millions of so-ealled

tell you that this contest marches logically phllo-
| sophcally, and inevitably toward the emancipation
of this peoples and the citizen at the ballotbox or
statesman administering the government of this
country, Or general who guides its armies VINO
does notadmit that an inevitable result Of this
contest msunderstands the force Of events, and Is
doomed to disappointment and disgrace. ss
1t was only last winter, before the North was
utterly carried away by the storm ofpassion which
has since swept over that section. that Congress
passed resolution by q large majority declaring
that no Interference with slavery in the States
contemplated. Even the hitterest Black Republi-
cans dsclaimed any such object. 1t shows with
what facility men become madmen, and rush into
every extreme, when once inocuiated with the
virus of sectional hate. Even as the first step in
the path of crime payes the way for others, so
does the first departure from political virtue de-
bauch and demoraze the Northern man, until he
finds himself advocating doctrines and policies
now, which one year ago lie would have repudiated
and secuted. Faeis deseensus Ayerni."
The people of foreign countries will wonder why
it is that the South was not permitted to retain, in
peace and quietude an Institution that did the
North no harm, but was, in truth, the basis of all
their prosperity. The wonder would cease if they
knew the Yankee people as well as we do. 1t is
in their nature, ngraned and innate, to be NEEDLE
some, nsehevous, interfering with other peoples
affairs which do not concern them The Pnritans
claim thatthey came I'd this country for religious
freedom, and have imposed upon great many
honest people with the pretension. There never
was greater mistake. They. came away from
England simply because they were not allowed
there to have everything their own way. Because
others would not bend to steir fapaticsm, they
raised great outcry about religious persecution.
How false was the pretension that they sought re-
ligious freedom in this country, is shown by the
fact that they established an ecclesiastical tyranny
as soon as they got fairly established upon this
continent, and more rigid code Of laws was never
promulgated. 1t was almost as much as mans
life was worth to bean Epscopahan,a and the Puri-
tan jurisdiction extended even to the most sacred
affairs Of the domestic household. To suppose
that such people when they got power in the
nation, would not use it to harrass and annoy
everybody they could, and 10 1neddie with every
thing they could, matter how little it concerned
them would be to suppose an absurdity. It is just
as natural for Puritan to interfere and informed.

It is not, therefore, a matter Of surprise that,
proceeding step by step id their design of estab-
fishing their rule over Us, they should gradually
reach the idea of destroying our prosperity by de.
stroying its sources. Boutwell, says it is logical
sequence from the position the party now holds:
and so it is. Boutwell, is right in his reasoning,
however wreng he may be in his philosophy. All
this only goes to show that we did not strike this

show, too that appeals to the reason Of the North
are waste OF words. We might as well try to
convince Digger Indian that it is wrong to steal.
The only possible way to reach such crazy devils
isby anappeal to thesword Their tanatcism is
q stronger passion even thar their love Of money,
as is proved by their entering upon this war. a
dozen or two such defeats as they met with at
Manassas may cure the malady under which they
labor, but it is very certain that nothing else will.
