| Ii is wonderful how gradually, and with what
wicked stealth, the AbOlitonists advance toward
the degradation of the white Since this
war began and long before, they have been con.
stantly engaged in educating the public mind TO
the point of the equality of the races, and pre-
pairing the white labor of the country to make its
bed with the African The advocates of eman.
cipation began by saying that the negroes of the
South would remain there and work for wages,
II made lree and that the Northern States would
not be cursed with their presence. That was
said to remove one of the objections which al
ways arose in the minds OF sensible men in the
free States. Now the ground is changed. and
nearer approach is made to the ultimate aim Of
the abolition faction.
The New York Tribune of the 18th ult., has
an article published in the Sentinel of Monday
last) which boldly advocates the employment of
the negroes on the farms OF the free States to the
exclusion Of white laborers who have long been
the pride of the agricultural classes of the North
west. This is the last dodge of the internal
spirit of Abolitionism, aud il should meet ut the
Threshold swift and indignant condemnation.
In that article of the Tribune written by
GREELEY-he thus pleads for the employment of
negroes on the farms of the free States:
Ii the laborers OF a certain county or district
were TO kill all the cattle and horses therein and
forbid the importation OF more, so as to secure TO
themselves more work, they would commit the
identical blunder that is made by those who OBJ
/ iect TO negroes coming North TO work.
But is il a bunderl
We regard it more and worse.
We believe il is got up, not at ali in the inter
est of white labor, but wholly in the interest Of
| JEFF Davis and his slave Coniederacy.
We believe that its object is the notification of
the Presidents proclamation of freedom by com
pellins the slaves whom the proclamation eman-
cipates 10 grind in the prison houses OF the re-
bellion.
We believe II base appeal to the prejudice
of the ignorant and imbruted, designed to extend
and facilitate the sway of ignorance and bru
tality.
Here we have the whole storv.Has told by
GREELEY and his confederate Abolitionists. Those
who prefer white labor and white men on the
farm and in the shop, are. according TO the Tn
bune's logic. wholly in the interest of JEFF. DA
Wis and his slave Confedcracyi' We expected it
would come to that, and GREELEY has blurted il
out nc last. Those Republican and Democratic
farmers who prefer the white son of their poorer
neighbor. and gives him his fifteen dollars month
and seat at his family table, in pre-
ference to a stolen slave from the South, are
"wholly in the interest of JEFF. DAvIs"-that is,
traitors to their country. That is what the apos
tate son OF the white race-the lowly and neanly
minded GREELEY-says of the cultivators Of the
farms of the North west.
| III. Ts..I.,.. .h;io.orhar fs not d;sroead ~
hagge at anything short Of forcing these negroes
amongst the people of the free States. Those
who object 10 il are not only JEFF. DAvIss tools,
but he declares that all who prefer white labor to
black, and say so, make "a base appeal to the
prejudices of the ignorant and iHibruted"-that Is
to say, to the white laborers of the land. A
scoundre who would thus stigmatize the honest.
industrious and devoted white laborer, deserves
the scorn and contempt OF every son OF toll from
the Aroostook to the Sabine.
The people of Indiana, by the Constitution Of
the State, which was adopted by one hundred
thousand majority, have said that these negroes
shall NOT come icifhin this Commonwealth. Does
GREELEY see any way of forcing them here
against that Constitution Can himself and his
Abolition tools in New England invent any
mode of escaping that propositiorS Are they
prepared to fight them into the Statef Well, lie
them try it, Before the experiment is inaugu
rated, GREELKY had just we'll raise his quota
for the Army of the Union, and stop the dratf, SO
long threatened but never erecst'd amongst his
Abolition howers "down East" Indiana will
take care Of herself in regard to these negroes,
and If the Abolitionsts desire their services in
New England, let them enjoy their prize in
peace. There is just room enough out here for
the white people, to whom this State belongs.
