Such is the recordl We now ask, in
all candor, whether these men, the Lead
ers of the Republican Party, who en-.
dorSed and circulated the above book,
are not morally, before High Heaven,
responsible for the revolution and
blootshed which has followed? If they

ended designs, when they got into pow.
er, then every man can see why the South
took such steps as she thought would
insure her safety, If they did not in
tend to carry out these threats, they are
none the less responsible, for they con.
uinced and alarmed the South that they
did intend to carry them out, There
is, therefore, no escape for them as be-

present civil war. Will any one dare to
assert that these men are not the lead

Postmaster of New York. A number
are still members of Congress. Some are
really 6ghting to carry out their princi.
Piles ss they would, like Frank Blair OF
Missouri, and S. r. Curtis, of Iowa.
Most of them, however, are content to
hold civil positions, & spend their time
in coaxing or drafting Democrats to do
the fighting. Yet aN, in one way or
other are vigorously at work to make
good their assertion: 1--WE have deter

US God, abolish it we will" Can the
people be any longer deceived as to who
are justly responsible, before God, for
our present horrible fratricidal and de-
vastating negro equality, civil war, and
all the consequences that have followed
