The Consultation Covenant with Death
and an Agreement with Hell.
When the crisis of fever is nearly reached
when the forces of nature and of medicine ara
about to make their last, successful rally-si-
lence, quiet and calm peace are strictly ordered
lest to the enfeebled patient some disturbance
should cause fatal shock and the disease again
defeat all medicine. The fever of rebellion at
the South is now at such a crisis. The medi-
cine of the Union arms and the natural forces
of the latent Southern Union feeling conspire to
make recovery almost certain. In short time
it is hoped that the South will be forever rid of
the feverish phantasies Of rebellion and will
come again to her right mind and her true allie
glance. Why is it, then, that Doctors Cheever,
Greeley, Garrison, Phillips, Beecher and the
old Boston women, who make up the number
of the quack abolitionists, seize this very criti
cal moment to raise hideous and Internal
abolition outcry? 1t is from no good will to.
wards the patient, certainly. It would seem,
rather, that they wished to increase the fever.
Northern abolitionists and Southern cOnspira-
tors have so many traits in common that it is
not singular to find them both regarding the
| constitution of these United States as "a
covenant with death and an agreement with
he'll" In this one phrase Garrison embodied
the true abolition and the true rebel creed
alike. The abolitionists hate and revile the
constitution because it upholds slavery, which
they think sinful. The leading rebel conspira'
tors hate and revile the constitution because il
enables other men besides themselves to gain
power. For these different reasons, but arriv-
ing at the same result, the abolitionista
at the North and the conspirators at
the South have been laboring for years
to destroy the constitution. Every blow
struck by the one has aided the other. The
abolitionists clamored about negro slavery, and
the Southern conspirators used this abolition
clamor to delude the Southern people into Sc.
cession. When South Carolina seeded, the
abolitionists claimed that event as an anti
slavery triumph; Greeley congratulated the
| North and encouraged the rebels; and Wendell
Phillips argued that secession was legal and
right, and exultingly declared that now, at last
| the hated cons ttution of the United States was
| torn in tatters.
| But the abolitionists sympathized with the
rebels not only in secession, but also in the
establishment of Southern contederacy. II
had been the object of their lives to destroy
slavery, and that object was gained if slavery
destroyed itself and the country by forming
separate confederacy. Therefore the Tribune
daily cheered on the Southern rebel States;
| and not until Greeley, Phillips q Co. saw their
fate reflected in Northern bayonets did they
change their more open tactics, and insidiously
endeavor, by urging on our army to hasty
defeat to discourage the North and divide the
| Union. When this plan, too, failed, the ghosts
| from the Manassas massacre alarmed the aboli.
| tionists into short silence; but soon after
| they devised and began to carry into effect q
| double plot from either issue of which they
| hope to derive success. This plot is now work
ing, and consists, on the one hand in bitterly urg
| ing on war of emancipation, and, on the other
hand, in opposing and trying to thwart every
effort to cagry on this war within the constitu-
tional limits. If by viifying a I'D abusing every
constitutional statesman and Union general;
| r by defeating every plan to progress constitu-
tionally in the war; If by irritating and discon-
tenting the people, the abolitionists can force
slavery, then they succeed; for the constitution
is overthrown and slavery is killed. If, how
| ever, the conservative magic of Office IL too
strong for them; if the Union armies carnot be
hindered; If the people cannot be goaded to
frenzy, the abolitionsts at least hope that their
clamors will so unite and 'ender desperate the
Southern people that either the South will be
unconquerable or else it viii have to be
brought back to the Union chained like cap
tive and guarded like o criminal; and then the
abolitionists will equally triumph; for the con-
stitution is subverted and the doom Of slavery
sealed. 1t is the plot of Iago, who urged Rode
rigo to attack Cassie, and declared
