MhssRs. EDIroRs | an net prophet, nor am the
son OF prophet but now predict, that one OF the
consequences OF this war will be- that in three years
from the cod thereof there will not be free negro in
America that our Institution OF slavery will be estab

ern States Rights party will get into power as soon as
the elections roll round the Aboonists will be hunt
ed down like mad dogs aud the whole civilized world
will become satisfied that slaves in the very
condition toc which nature designed them. Mark the
prediction
Let us see Iu the fist place, the Northern war debt
will be more than they can pay in hundred years
from duties on Imports and to help pay this debt the
rich taxpayers rather than resort to direct taxation
will be in favor OF ensllvng and selling the negro in
the second place 30 many negroes have of from
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, and gone
North and are hiring themselves out for cents day.

white cannot maintain their families and of course
they will be in favor Of ensaving and selling them-n
sedetense; and in the third place. all decent white
men, who ops sed to seeing the Northern States in
hablttd by mixture of Caucasian and African races
will be in favor Of ensiaving and selling them Well
the rich tax payers the poor white aboers and such
Others as opposed to malgamaton, will certainly
constitute large majority of their population, who
will unite and demand of their respective Legislatures
the passage OF laws for ensaving and selling all ne
grOes within their bordes if in fact Institution OF
slavery is not maintained in the Northwestern States
Yes, the rich manufacturing, hgh-tarif men at the
North, who have the same sympathy for negro that
they have for bale OF cotton will be as ready after
the to unite with the poor aboring white men to
expel IL negroes from among them as they were ia
1860 to COase with the abolitionss to enable them
selves to break down the State Rights party and obtain
the control of the Government aud pass their high tariff
laws Now, | think these high tariff manufacturing
Nabobs, who responsible for this war; will
as cunning as they are, have their hands full of
their abolition neighbors and Northwestern friends yet.
Lei US see: They gave The Northwestern people the
President to help them asien high tariff on the South
and, the Consequence is they Che n. w people, have
fastened 1t on themseiVes,ost the navigation of the
Mississippi ard laid themselves liable to pay large
proportion of the war debt and now have choice to

Which Will they do? Why the latter. Messrs. Edi-
tors with tie exception Of few misguided fanatics,
headed by the preachers the Northern people do not
care quite much about our institution OF slavery as
some suppose. No. The politicians tbere-Seward
Co-care no more for our negroes than they do for
our horses but are ready to wirk at the agitation Of
the slavery question to answer political purposes Did
not Seward say SIX months ago. be had rather slavery
