Attempt to Debauoh the Slave holding
prOvinnPS

toms of the times is the bold and uublushing
determination of the Black Republicans to
corrupt, demoralizc and dcbauch the slave
holding provinces of the Northern Republic
The batteries which have been opened up-
on slavery in Maryland, Kentucky and Mis-.
souri, were not masked for single mument at.
ter Linconls Inauguration The immense pat
ronagc of the Government is to be employed
to sap the foundation of the institution Of
slavery. The prcudices, public opinion and
wishes of the conquered provinces have
already been scornfully tramplcd upon in the
selection Of those who are to fill the highest
Offices within the gift of the present Admin
! tration. The" border slave States will be
allowed no voice in the distribution even of
the local Offices which are to be filled by lin
coin and Ills Cabinet. Men whose opinions
are loathcd and abhoircd by the people of the
States in which they reside have already been
singled out by Lincoln for the best Offices of
the country The submission of Maryland,
Kentucky aud Missouri has not softcncd the
fate of those unhappy States. Bates, Blair,
Davis, Holt and Cassius Clay-mcn the most
hatred Of the whole male population of the
States in qucston-havc been, or are to be,
rewarded themselves, and are to be allowed to
distribute the smaller loavos and fishes among
their Black Republican followers.

placed him in his Cabinet. AS this man was

Blair, of MARYLAND, bold, fierce. unprin.
