Although it is true that many slaVehoiueIs
arc good Union men, and many who care less
for the Union deprecate the Reoellon' sayins
it can only ruin Slavery in the eno' IL Is atSo
true that Slavery is the uncaused cause, 'lo
vital spark, Ctf this foul treason. Nopouy -

paipable facts; we give them simply u" NHVN'
leaving them to be their own comment,
But there are a great many honest people
who do not see why Slavery should wish to
break out ofthe Union, and who perplexedly
ask-s'What does Slavery aoant What is
"the essence Of its demands and requirements I"
The essential demand of the Shareholders be-
gins thus-"We Southern Shareholders shall
Tin all things think, speak, and act Just as we
please respecting Slavery agreed" readl-
ly responds the North And you Northern
"peope shall think, speak, and feel as we 49,
cor at least pretend to do So continues the
I"South. Not agreed" replies the North. And
thus we are at loggerheads
Nobody disputes that whenever the South,
with the aid that it knows how to buy or Dor
row from the North, can secure constitutional
majority OH any question or lssuelt Will quietly
have its way, as it always has had it, That is
once at the polls, says. "Your ballots outweigh
"ours we purpose to put in few bullets" "
And so bullets have to be added on the other
side.
Mr.. Russells letters from the Slave region
show that this Rebellion is essentially arlsto-
cratic, based on ideas radically opposed to the
equality even of White men, In his letter last
published, he says:
my companion was very intelligent South
ern gentleman, formerly editor of a newspaper.
We talked of the crime of the country, OF the
brutal shootings and Standings which disgrace
ed it. He admitted their existence with regret,
but he could advise~and suggest no remedy.
"The rOwdies have rushed in upon us, SO that
we can't master Them" Is The law powerless!
"Well, Sir, you see these men get hold OF
| those who should administer the law, or they,
are too powerful or too reckless to be Kept
down." THAT is reign Of terror-ot mob
rufianism ?" at don't hurt respectable peo-
pie much, but / agree with you, it must be put
down" "When-how ?" "Well, Sir, when
things are settled we'll just take the law into
our own hands. Not a man shall have vote
unless he's American born land by degrees Well
get rid of these men who disgrace US. Are
not many of your regiments composed OF Ger
mans and hish-of foreigners, in fact ~ eyes,
Sir" did 2ot suggest to him the thought
which rose in my mind, that these gentlemen,
If successful, would be very little inclined to
abandon their rights while they had arms in
their hands, but it occurred to me as well that
this would be rather poor reward for the men
who were engaged in establishing the South
ern Confederacy. The attempt may fail, but
assuredly have heard it expressed too often
to doubt that there is determination on the
part of the leaders in the movement to take
away the suffrage from the men whom they do
not scruple to employ in fighting their battles
If they cut the threats of the enemy, they will
stiae their own sweet voices at the same time,
or soon Afterwards capitd recompense to
their emigrant soldiers !"
