ia therefore the duty Of tie government. to

We know that in the eastern section Of

The secessi0nists therefore are, with few ex-

have no interest whatever in negroes--the PEN
niless politicians, the greedy spoilsmca. the
reckless adventures, the ambitious dema-
gogues and professional men without business,
who, by their conspiracies and intrigues, have
gradually drawn the people into the vortex OF
rebellion. A misrepresentation of the anti
slavery sentiment of the North (which Is only
corfined to few fanaiics) has induced the ig-
Lorsnt non-slaveholding population of the
South to believe that the majority of the North
ern people are the enemies of the Southern
States, ard that they desire 70 overthrow their
domestic institutions. Nothing can be further
from the truth. Tie prevailing sentiment. of
the North is not anti-slayery, but loyalty TO the
