e dangerous and sniridal schemes.
Genrlen eo on the osher side of this chamber
q have been determined to discuss the causes @:
TINS rebellion One would have supposed that
pIndence on that theme would have sealed
E them into silenee. Slavery. they say. is the
only cause. and their logic is. eradicate the
narse. and the MAR will stop Slavery is The
occasion. bnt not the cause. Slavery has ex-

agitation. North and South, is the esnse, and
IT has been carried on by both abolition and
secession. 1t takes tEo milistones to grind
The grist- From the beginning of secession
denounced it. 1 believe. in view of all its
Consequences. that it is the worst crime since
: The scene ON Cavalry. But. sir, / am at
as great loss hOE TO apportion the guilt be-
tween secession and the abolition which be-
! gat it, as would be to appOrtion the guilt of
, the erRclfctioD, between Judas and ahe Ro-
man soldiers. III there is any difference. it
rs no tas0r OF the bold pafTiriae. and against
the ineidSOns befrayer.
And now, as the climax of this abolition
ism we find the governor of Massachusetts,
~fen called on TO send more troops 10 the
aid of the Government laying down eondi-
conditions conditions to bis loyalty. He is
willing Tor his people to crowd the reads
with recruits, il only the blacks are to be
freed by the war, and Hunters proclama-
ton is left untouched by the President But
il this be not done, it will be heavy draft on
the patriotism of Massachusetts,. If the
blacks are to be freed; If slavery is to be up
rooted Shakespeare says. "your il is great
pescemaker." This abolition "J'' sir, is an
infamous traitor. / could name members on
the other side of the House who, though few
in number, have kept their faith without am
blgnity But the body Of them are led by an
other class of unmis,akable hoe, who are
ready to follow the conditional loyalty OF the
Massachusetts Governor, and 10 free negroes,
regardless OF constitutional limitations and
consequences.
| These destructiyes, however they profess.
when they come to vote, like the hues in
prism, melt imperceptibly into each other
Though we imagine that we see difference
between them. yet they altogether make up
hat light which is 10 guide us in DER trou
bles. God help us when such light leads!
| Such friends are like those in the rebel army
| who approach our soldiers with white flags,
| crying "don't fire! we are Union men; don't
ire" and at the very moment of our conf
dence, they nflict their des dly treacbery up
on our flag!
But it is ever thus. History Shows it
| Extreme men drag the moderate men with
| them. The devil, it is said. holds his own by
hair. He has entered into this msjority
as he entered into the swine; and they will
by diabolic impulse, be driven at last into the
sea. At last-but when is that time to
come? When the country is ruined? Must
these northern fanatics, be sated with negroes,
taxss and blood, with division north and
devastation south and peril to constitutional
liberty everywhere, betere relief shall come?
They will not halt until their darling schemes
are consummated
History tells US that such zealots do not
