prevails in the extreme South. What Lord
Brougham calls "the wild aud guilty fantasy
:" that man can hold property in man. has taken
such complete possession Of the Southern mind
that BY the natural aud inevitable working OF
principle so utterly false and atrociour, thor
oughly unsouud state Of the intellect has been
produced wherever that falsity has been allowed
full sway. If the sayeholders are to be judged
By the deliberate utterances of their most popu-
lar and admired authors and public teachers, as
wen as by their recent political conduct in the
States most completely under their dominion, the
conclusion is unavoidable that they have fallen
victims to an insane fnnaticism surprising any
thing ever before known in the civilized world.
To confederate this statement it is not neces-
sary Nv quote from reckless and obscure news
papers. or from the heated expressions of violent
politicians, though the Southern press and South.
ern speeches exhibit abnndantly wildness OF
sentiment and ferocity of feeling the like OF
which can be found nowhere else outside OF
Utah and the frantic sermons Of the Mormon
preachers. We purpose to cite, by way OF Illus
tration, certain deliberate and wel.consldered
expressions Of opinion by one Of the recognized
leaders of Southern intellect, the only respectable
periodical which the South has been able to
maintain for any considerable period. We mean
De BOWS Review, monthly magazine, published
at New Orleans, and devoted to commercial, sta
tlstcal. and other grave topics.
We of the North ere 20 accustomed TO Pro-
Slavery assumptions and reasonings that we
have 10 some degree lost the sense of their min
ged atrocity and absurdity, and We receive as
things of course propositions at which the rest
of the civilized world is struck aghast with hor-
ror and astOnishment. Such is the force OF
CUSTOM that we are not surprised that men pro-
Tossing TO be Christians aud Democrats lovers
of Justice and Of freedom, should hold others In
Slavery, and should openly live In idleness by
appropriating to their own use the hard earnings
Of their victims. 1t is only when The natural re.
suits of characters formed under the influence OF
such a monstrous peryersion OF truth and right
show themselves in treason. rebellion and public
robbery that we are startled and Disguised.
But to our citations from Dc Bow. Its sec-
ond article IL on " The Message, the Constitu-
4" ton, and The Times" Ii asserts that +" the
Federal Constitution is by far the most absurd
" and contradictory paper ever penBed by prac-
"tical men," Ar. Buchauan's remark that the

bands are called TO the field, they will have

Slaves are the only body-guard to be relied on.
" Bvnuparte knew il and kept his MObammedan

I" it," The wrItes might have added, with true
slaveholdng logic, that it was especially proved
by the Charleston Conspiracy OF 1920 and by
the Southampton Insurreetion Of 1881, and still
more by the nightly patrols OF every town and
parish in the South.
