MAN-OWNING ABOLITIONISTb.
Every now aud then, We hear that some tit
ular ambassador Of tho Rebels who is deplor-
ably figuring 10 Paris or in London and hanging
about the back doors of Ministers, has limited,
in a mysterious manner, that, as return for
recognition, and by way of assuaging prcju-
dices, the Coniederacy will be willing magnan.
imously 10 abolish Slavery. Every now and
then, we catch rumors flying from the Coniej-
eracy itself, tho effect of which is, that when
worst shall come TO worst, the Rebels will
turn their serfs into soldiers, having previously
transmogrifed them from beasts into human
beings, mauger their shin bones and facial an
gles II will not do, in public Affairs, to allow
the judgment to be swaycd by these cheap sub
terfugcs. The Rebels are in too perilous a
position TO be saved by clever trick. If,
indeed, they were nearly so clever a. they
fancy themselves to be, they would hardly
tumble into the logical hbsurdity OF giving up
for the sake of peace, all for which they are
50 desperately contsndIng. The distinct politi-
zeal existence, 10 secure which is their pro-
fessed aim, and for the sake Of which they
have put their bodies, their souls, and
their estate, in peril, has for ts informing and
yltalizing element tho enslayement of tho
Blacks. Before the tribunal OF the world.
Judgment. this 10 their solitary plea; and to
TIL. hour, although it would have been to them
Of incalculable advantage, they have never been
able to produce any other In moments Of
calm reflection, their leaders are doubtlcs
sensible Of the odious position into which their
passions have hurried them, aud they feel
kecnly thnt the social Advancement Of the age
has rendered IL no longer t-nable. No sophistry
can make ihe. cause respectable. They can
be- sure Of no recognition which tbeJ do not
purchase. IL is now II was when hr. Cal.
houn bitterly complained that the whole moral
world was banded against Slavery, and disposed
TO exclude the STAKEHOLDER from sympathetic
intercourse. IL is hard to say plainly and un-
he.itatngly: 1--WE fight that We may be cruel
without re.traint. aud unjust without retrbu-
tion--that we may proong within our borders
and under the forms of q republic. a despot-
ism which the most ancient moDarchies are
discarding--that We may cling 10 ys.
TEN of labor which refuses bis hire 10
! the laborer-that We may without hinderan ce.
doom three millions Of men and women TO
concubinage, and bastardize their progeny,
their children, and their childrens chill
dren forever-that We may extend tho
disbolism which we profess, 10 now lands, and
curse by its extension moro than the molety
of continent" SO the Stakeholder, not
daring to cay this, affects virtue, and treats
mankind 10 benevolent and moral pantomlme.
{" care nothing for niggers"-it is thus that
he would DO UNDERSTOOD" respect your pre-
iudices, even If do not share them-it is
not Slavery that love, but the Yankee that

I Christian gentlemen, y civilized P0tentates, II
you will but recognize my new government, i,
too. will become, to the best Of my ability,
civilized and respectable" Then turning upon
u.s. with fierce face and passionate gesiculu-
tons, he threatens 10 put u musket into the
hand of every manumilted serf. and to seek
his own safety aud succOr from those who
owe him nothing but al eternal hatred. Thus
Slavery in the very article of death is to be
used as Il scarccrow. Others conquer peace
the South, with moro than Chinese Ill
geuulty expects TO frighten US into making d
treaty.
But sensible men, in high places or low
ones, will not for a moment be deceived by
this rodomontade. When the heart is bare, ~
that all can discern its basoneSs, it matters
very little what may come from the lips. The
idea of the Rebellion with the Pro-Savery Gle
ment eliminated is as laughabe as the play oil
Hamlet with the part OF Hamlet omitted by
request. No great public movement, without
q vital and centraizing idea, can do more than
fall, by a steady subsidence, into ultimate aud
hopeless extinction. 1t is to the very intensity
of tho passions which Slavery has created, to
the bad earnestness and evil sincerity which il
has engendered, to the arrogant seD.conpln-
cepcy which it naturally stlmulao. that the
Confederacy owes whatever successes it has
attained, 30 that Emancipation would leave
the lenders of the insurrection without inter
ests to which they could surely appeal. md
their followers without objects sufficient to tenn
