The uphOldcrS OF slavery and ap0l0glslS Tor
Rebellion in the loyal States Systematically
conceal from their dupes the vital fact that the
traitors are fighting for Disuni0n, and viii be
content with nothing less. Listen 10 any
Northern assailant of the Republicans as at
least partially responsible for the Shareholders
Revolt, and you would suppose it bis belief
that if the Republicans were only put down
and the sham Democracy restored 70 power,
reconci alton Of the Rebels 30 the Union
would follow Of course. But there is not a
particle Of authority or warrant for tms-or
the contrary, every Rebel utterance brcathci
tie most implacable hostility and hate, not t.
Republican asccndency. but to any Union
with the Free States The Rebellion was no
aimed at Abolition Int a. Northern ascend
ency. The Montgomery Constitution was pur
poscy framed TO exclude Free States from tl'
new cucdcracy. The ambition and the com,
mercia greed Of New-Oheals, Charleston
Norfolk, Baltimore, have for years been slim
ulatci By The holding Of what were called
Southern Commercial Conventions, designed TO
promote and secure Direct Trade with En-
rope-that is, the expectation of Cotton, To
bacco Rice, sc. from Southern ports to
Europe, and the least possible trade or inter.
course with the North. The ar,tocracy Of
Baltimore are nearly all violent Secessoniss
from belief that Southern independence VII
render Baltimore the great shipbuildiug nayl-
eating and importing emporium Of the Gotten
Coniederacy. While our merchants were lavish
Ing their thousands after thousands on Southern
Aid Societies and Fusion political movements
on a basis o. utter subscryeucy to the iusttu-
tons and ideas of the South, the Southern poIt-
clans and traders were necessarily con.priug, in
tr;guiag to cut their section loose, uot only
from Northern radicalism, but Northern con
scrvatlsm also.
The Shareholders Rebellion ia based on the
assumption of an inherent, inviucibe antago-
nism between Northern and Southern institu-
tons. Northern Abolition is regarded rather
as cement 10 Southern Society: it is North
en conservatism that is esteemed most peril
Gus because iusidlous-slowly and surely sap
ping and dissoying where Abolition alarmed
and united. Northern Conservatism on the
Slavery question has never been generally re.
garded at the South as sincere and hearty. II
has looked too much Ike the gcuulexous Of a
slopkeeper by the carriage Of the alight.ng
lady whom he confidently expects TO run up
good bill before she returns 70 her easy cush-
ions. We Radicals, So called, may have been
hated more at the South than our couscra-
tive neighbor, but we have surely been de.pised
less. Even Nallaudigham aud Ben. Wood are
spoken Of in the Rebel organs with a CON
.emptuous tolcraucc-as follows vino mean Wcl
enough. but are OF 10 account TO tho Conicd-
eracy, because without power .u tAe mon.
