The Change.

We rejoice to see the heal:hful change
that is gradually overtaking our more
e-ratic and Northern neighbors. 1t II
true, we may have TO pay too dear for oul
whistle" before the present revolution
end. but, as the disease Is Of long stand
ins and deep seated, it will take power.
full remedy to fully eradicate and forever
cure it.
II ;sa we'll kno-n fact that our prsseh'
difficulties have all been brought upon VI
by tho too free and insane teachings ol
British and Northern Abolit:onism. a,
taught and promulgated by VIM. L. Gar
rison, Wendell Phillips. Abbey Kelley
Foster and her mate, as lecturers. Horace
Greedy and Thurlow Weed as newspaper
writers, and Heavy Ward Beecler. L. II.
Chaplin, and lesser lights as pulpit orators.
This class OF destructives have long sine,
been banished from the Southern portion
Of our country by public opinion, for the
bensit Of public safety. 1t is true, the
demagoguish cry of free speech" has
been raised by their Northern friends and
hackers, until within very short period
We are glad 10 know, however, that
now Boston, Syracuse, Rome, Utica, Ro.
chester, and other Northern cities. have
lately welcomed this class of fanatics with
unmerchantable eggs. brick bats, and other
unwelcome missiles--all Of which they
have deserved for ye rs.
In this the South had taken the ni,is>
tive; and if the North desires 10 continue
the peace and happines, of this Govern
ment. they must resort TO the same means,
10 abato this dangerous nuisancc. These
British. hearted tories have been plotting
the downfall OF this nation for more than
thirty years. and at the present time have
we'll nigh succeeded; and for aught NO
know at the present writing. they may
yet accomplish their darling object. The
friends OF law and order, the friends and
upholders of this country and her ins,iiu.
tions. have no moro right TO tolerate this
species of fanatics, than so many horse
thieves for both are alike destructive 10
good moran and the future peace and
welfare of our country. They are as dan
gerous to our political system rs the small
pox would be TO our ph, ,sical; and if
nothing else will bring them to terms.
they must be dealt with in o more sum-
mary manner. We have no more righ,
TO nurture and protect this class Of lazl-
ron, or national destructives, than so
many foreign physical by diseased persons.
They are more dangerous TO our libertiss
than all the European Powers combined.
and their ban nislcent from our Northern
States would only restore peace and good
fellowship among us, as we have enjoyed
it heretofore. II eggs and brickbats will
not silence Them here. as j. has done in
the South, bayonets and halters must do
it. The American people have right,
and it is their duty, 10 project themselves
against every species of evil, whether at
tempted by citizens or aiens; and If we
now neglect to Danish tho AbOliionists to
Great Britain or ITayti, where they prop.
erly belong, We will hereafter be. bound to
bear the snathemas and curses OF untold
OF our race. If we continue here's
after 10 caresa, protect, and counsel with
these political lunatics, We will most assu
redIy reap The harvest of the sword--revo.
luton, anarchy, and de,potism.
