Drawing Ruin ON TheIr own He,ad

The Nashville Union remarks on the
rashness of the rebel slaye-owners in
Tennessee, who are hurrying their, slaves
South, into Alabama, for fear of the
Proclamation: '-a.t
''What will they do with their slaves
when they get them Southg There is no
work for them to do, no cotton or tobacco
to raise, and nothing for them to eat.
1t does not seem to us that to collect
hundreds of thousands of restless, excited
negroes together, is exactly the best
method ofseeuring and strengthening the
divine institution of slavery, which is
sanctioned by the Lords Prayer, and the
sermon'On the Mount. IF we wanted to
stir up mischief, INSTRUMENTATION and the
devil generally, in the cotton states, we
should advise these to do Just us they are
doing. Let them pile up their negroes,
four deep, over Mississippi and Alabama.
until those states look like the deck of a
SLAYER, and beyond all doubt we shall
speedily witness an irrepressible conflict,
compared with which oil other conflicts
will appear tame and spiritless. Who
would have believed, twelve months ago,
that during a bloody civil war, the rebel
slaye-owners, who have always dreaded
insurrections among their slaves, even
when they were separated from each other
on insulated plantations, would, at the
most dangerous period of the war, mass
the slaves in one formidable body, and
thus render them immeasurably more
powerful to inAict injuryI'
