Words i'm Season

The "Lonnger," in C. late number of Harper'S s
Weekly says:
Let US suppress the abolitionists, :" cries some
slack-witted orator, and the rebellion will end!
"of course it will you dear soul; and if ali your
| fellow citizens had been of your calibre and
kidney there would have been no rebellion at
all. II Hampden aud his friends had said, 'Pet
us suppress these fellows who cry out against
shp-money," England would have quietly sub
mitted to the tyranny of the Stewards If Otis
and Patrick Henry had shouted "Hurrah for
King George and the stamp act!" there would
have been no bloody revolution. If Mirabeau
aud the French people had beloved "Hurrah
for starvation; aristocrats forever" all the
trouble In France would have been speedily end
ed. To be sure every right would have been
annihilated, evety liberty destroyed, and a few
rich and remorseless people would have govern
ed France; but there would have been 10
difficulty, except rot aud general delay. -
Let Us suppress abolitionits." Bat suppose
you begin at the beginning. First subdue the
common sense of the people OF the country,
then subdue those who influence it. It il not
what you call, with an amusing persistence, al
olitonsts that cause the war but the opening
of the eyes of the people so that they saw.
The people OF this country know perfectly well
that slavery is at the bottom of this rebellion.
If there had been no slavery there would have
been no war; just as there would have been DO

ed the abolitiouists. Slavery maddened that its
crime was discovered, shot and stabbed right
and left. "There! therel" cry the sensible Wick

Why the devil can't you hold your tonguesl Let
us suppress these fellows that ory watch! watch!
and all will be quiet again"
Certainly, dead dog or dead nation are

throttled with its own consent,by slave system
like ours, is the deadest and meanest of all dead

By he President Of dc Caaed Sates Of
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-03-08

a member of the Worcester committee for
providing for the wants of the released slaves
furnishes us with the following interesting
statement, showing the objects of the assocta-
ton and the amount of work which it has al.
ready accomplished -
The educational committee does not proceed
in its operations upon the ground that the
''present condition of the negroes is one of
such suffering as 10 make it an irresistible die
tate OF humanity TO do for them without re.
gard to results" The only result desired is
their intellectual, social, and moral elevation,
1t is to secure this for them now that such a
favorable opportunity offers itself, that so
many have been found not only willing but
glad to enter upon such service. As first
step in the educating process, which is to
make of these people men and women, clean
and proper clothing is requisite. AS to the
clothing "shed by the soldiers" we should
hardly think, from our knowledge fit, derived
from observation and the testimony of the sol.
diers themselves, that the use of it by the ne
groes would assist in the least the education
proposed. From a private letter from Mr.
Pierce, the agent of the government we copy
the following -
According TO the best estimates within our
reach, there are some eight thousand negroes
ON territory of South Carolina now occupied
oy the forces Of the United States There are
some some SIX hundred at this camp, some i've hun
ureu at the camp at Beaufort, and others in
