Truth Fifty Spoken.

! The Cambridge (MarylandJ Iateui9sn-
Ger Of the 7th Dec, contains the follox :,
sensible siatemeu: 10 regard to the condi.
ton Of the country. We stated, weeks
ago, that the dsagea to tie South from
Abolitionism wa.nss .s al owing to the
; efforts and fury Of fanatics in the North,
bu. to the FALSE statements and mi,rep-
resenia.ions, made in Tie presencs aad
hearing cfhs Negroes, By Democratic or
s,ors, in regard to the views, policy and
intention of the Republican party. It il
gratifying to find the proof Of this 10 the
evidence Of our tIaryland co,suporary,
who speaks from knowledge, and in view
Of the fact {:
"Ths true Cause of az our TrouJk.-
Pres. Buchsnau thinks he points ou. the
true cause Of all our poIi,;cal troubles at
the South, when be holds tee following
language in his Message:
Th- lnmeIi.e PERIL arises fro the s,c. tia; the In
cs-snt ard -iosut agitation of the slavery question
throughout the North :r the lat quarter e-n;ury
has a. lcugth produced is maIisa inIuencs on The
slaves. su in r th" with Vague notions Of freedom.
Hence sense cf security no longer exists around the
family altar The i--uv Of p-soa hUins has sivsA
place to aIpreh-nsioas Of ssf,i-s iisorrvction."
The picture Of insecurity is correct, but
hs sigual!y t..,. in his Discrimination Of
the cause l, is Io: tho agitation at the
-N0rt. which e4citss cur slaves and alarms
our citizens. 1t is .he agitation Of the
sutiec! in the .SJUd. which We have cause
20 dresl. TIE Demorrattc party is the
tr.e source Of our presea troutles. 1t il
tue Democratic speeches and pap>rs SAich
hare e.ccited our Neyross. Ihey never
hear anyta:Os from the Northern Aboli.
,iouis;s-tLeir uopOns o. freedom have
been gained through Democratic sources
they bear the Democratic speeches, they
read Democratic papers. These teen with
iucsndiary assertions abou, negro suffrage
aud equality which the success Of the Re-
pItl;caus would bring about We know,
that, in this county, the Democrat. have
repeatedly declared, upou the stump, and
in the presence of negroes, that, if the
Republicans were elected, the Negroes
woald be set 1T liberty, be permitted to
vote, apd would marty our daughters
Il is Only few day. sluce that wa beard
the leader of the party in this county de.
clare on our public streets, aud in the
presence Of negroes, that the Republicans
intended TO let the Negroes vote
Those who hear the lucendiary decIsrs-
ilOns Of those men, communicate them to
the res, Of their color, and when their ex.
pecta,ious are so excited that they become
aroused to violence, We are told that the
Republicans have done it-"that the
Northern agitation is the true source Of
our trouble Let the responsibility rest
where it belongs. The Northern .Agita-
tors hare hal no hand ia tie matter. The
agitation might 90 on at the North until
doOmsday Without auy injury to our slaves.
Our negroes never read the Northern pa.
pers, nor hear the NoTtbern orators. They
read these things from Democratic papers,
ao1 hesr them from Democratic speakers.
We tasten on them, therefore, the charge
of being the authors of our calsmities.
LIE. the Cuioa Lleu, all over the country,
bold ;hem responsible for their crime ct
the bar Of public opinion.
