CONSTITUTION AS THE CLNGS TO THE LAST PLANK
BEL AIR. MD. SATURDAY MORNING,

commenced, every sentiment and action OF
the leading minds of this party have been
based upon their theory of negro enamel
patton and everything elsetas been sub
servient with them to this purpose. No
matter how many white men were unjust
ly and wickedly torn from their families
and imprisoned, without charge of crime
or form of trial, if the ignorant negroes
were allowed arms and furnished with
wages and Government rations. Freedom
of speech and of the press in the North
they were willing to barter away in order
that paper proclamation might be issued
setting free four millions of slaves. No
outrage upon the rights of white citizens
so gross as to demand the protest of the
Garrisons, the Summers, the Wilson's, the
Lovejoys and their numerous echoes
throughout the. country but if general
in the army sent back to his lawful mas
ter, lazy, worthless negro, the halls of
Congress and the columns of the newspa-
pers would resound with indignant appeals
to the President and to the country in be-
half ofpoor Sambv.
We therefore deny in toto the claim
which the abolitionists have set up, of be-
ing the friends of freedom and equal
ity. 1t is negro freedom that they wish
to establish, even though the success of
their project involves the curtailment
or destruction of the liberties of white
men. tits we'll known that radical and
sudden change in the status of the races
in the South, were it possible of accom-
plishment, would disorganize the entire
system of labor, commerce and currency
of the country, if it did not lead to more
serious social evils, such as the admix-
ture oft the widely divergent races has pro-
duced in South America and Mexico, and
which must follow such violation of the
natural laws wherever the experiment. may
be repeated. The diabolical coolness with
which these negro philanthropists calculate
upon slave outbreaks and bloody insurrec-
tons to forward their favorite measures,
are perfectly devilish and establish claim
for wholesale fendishness which Robes
pierre might have envied. Their liberal
ity is certainly evinced by their desire
that the shareholders of the South may be
butchered in cold blood in order that their
slaves may come into possession of their
plantations and other property. What
we published ten years ago as an opinion,
we now repeat, as fact, substantiated by
conclusive evidence, that Northern aboli-
tionism is the giant wickedness Of this
country. 1t is Internal, devilish. We
can never again hope to prosper or to be-
come united nation, until it is utterly
crushed out by the force of wholesome
public opinion. We of the North must
leave the whole management and the whole
responsibility of the slave system with the
South, where it legitimately belongs, only
fulfilling our clear constitutional obliga-
tons iu regard to it. This done, and
something will have been accomplished
towards peace and harmony between the
belligerent sections.

in notion. and the most important
events of the history Of this country
crowd every day. In short time the
grand army upon the Potomac must be
called to perform a most important part
in the progress of the war How fear
full to think, that at such a time, a man
guilty as Gen. Stone is charged to be
should have been in command OF one
of the principal brigades.f In point OF
time the arrest could not have been
more fortunate. AS to the second
point, it is all the more appreciated that
the war has been signalized by very
few bold and sagacious acts of power.
The arrest of the Maryland legislators
may stand by the side of this but we
do not recall any other. 1t must be
confessed that the majority of political
arrests have been tame and spiritless
affairs, administering merely to local
excitement, if we except the daring but
unfortunate act of Com. Wilkes. But
the arrest of Gen.. Stone, considering
all the surrounding circumstances, some
of which we do not care to mention
here, is an act of genuine courage. It
nerves and animates the people to see
that there is no indecision or vacilla-
ton in their rulers, but that they dare,
when the occasion arises, 10 take the
responsibility. .r..,s yI,sv.,
We hope that Gen. Stone may be
afforded as speedy trial as possible,
and that we may know the worst that
ia TO come. At least three of the sneci.
fcations against Gen. Stone if proved,
carry with them the penalty of death.
We furthermore express the hope that
all political prejudices will be kept out
Of this most grave case. tits one that
the people desire to know the exact
facts about, and desire no conviction
that the facts do not warrant, and the
extreme penalty that the facts do war
