Cause Of Trouble.

II
We annex an extract taken from the old
Colony Memorial, 10 Illustrate the bitter
spirit of abolitionism that peryades New
England. The Memorial is Published at
Plymouth the landing place of the Pill
grims, and its editor is an officer in the
Massachusetts Legislature. Such senti-
ments as the following, uttered by mad
man in his deirum tremens Of fanatcsm,
Against a State that has shed more lustre
on the Union than any other,-a State
whose hearths are yet wet with the warm
Southern blood that flowed at Harper's
Ferry, shed by citizens Of New England.
Aud this intensely hostile feeling is not the
outpouring Of the hour, but that which is
taught daily in the common schools, in the
pulpit and on the rostrum, and its spirit is
deeply and irradicably instilled in the pres
ent generation. The men Of to-day, there,
have derived their ideas Of the South and
Of those who should be their brethren from
these teachings. They have heard when
youths, their schools opened with prayer
for the abolition of slavery, "as the sum Of
all villanies." On Sunday, at church, they
hear the same thing with more bitter force
and longer vituperation, and finally, when
grown up, the first thing that greets the
eye at the counting room, is the daily pa
per, worse IL possible, than oil, because it
commands mope readers.
Here is the precious gem:
'.Now take Virginia for example: her
present productions are negroes, dema-
gogues, and halfbreeds; traitors, apple jack
and tobacco. Her best arabic lands are
40 per cent. poorer than they were one hun
dred years ago. With natural advantages,
all in her favor, she has fingered on the road
to prosperity, to talk about Stale Rights,
and pass laws to imperil the rights of her
neighbors. Now, by this plan, Virginia
will receive some 80 or 40 millions Of dol
lars; her lands and other property would
increase in yalne 200 millions more; her
moral and educational interests, would in
crease with her material prosperity. How
long will she cling to the Sum Of all vii
laniesf"
The talk about Virginia impcriling the
rights Of her neighborS, when through
many long, weary hours of many long,
weary nights, her setinels kept vigiant
watch among the flames of her homes lit at
midnight by the abolition assassins, to
guard her soil from that armed invasion,
against which q Federal Constitution afford
ed no protection. is particularly soothing.
To show the manner in which the Con-
stItutiou rs siutrrpreredOy Oy-rhe New England
Republicans, we give another extract,
pointing out, according to the kind views
Of this writer, how this secession should be
treated:
7Rird.-Let census be taken Of all
the slaves in Maryland, Virginia, Ken
tucky, and Missouri and il any, or all Of
those States will permanently abolish slave.
ry within Eve years from the fourth day of
July. 1851, then the people of such STATE
or STATES, shall receive from the General
Government one hundred dollars for each,
and every slave they owned when said cen
sus was taken. The amounts to be paid in
regular instalments. All children born Of
slave parents after July 4th, 1861, to be
Free"
This indicates New England sentiment,
and these opinions are but the interpreta-
tion Of the Constitution according to high
Republican authorities there.
