real Rebels, they say, were those citizens of the
hCe States, who, regarding slavery as an evil
with Washington and Jefferson, followed the
example OF those patriots In seeking to circum-
scribe and localize II. We are stigmatized as
iHnaliCs and incendarics because We cherish
sentiments identical with those Of the Rovolu-
tionary Fathers, with scarcely au importtnt eN-
Ception, and because we, In conformity with thoge
sent tments, have sought 70 contine slavery within
the States which il already cursed.
BeyonP this, there was nothing TO justify Sc
cession in the winter Of lSGO-l; yet a large ma
jOnty of the Democracy Of the Free States to.day
hold that Secession justified by the preceding &C
tion OF the Republicans of the North. OfcOurse,
the restoration TO power of that Democracy must
be followed by vigorous and systematic at
tempis to repress and suppress all anti.savcry
agitation and discussion-agitatiOn which (as
we perceive by our advertising cOlumus) a
Boston" lady" known TO those who enjoy the
sunlight of her cOuntCnance as Mary A. Howe,
pronounces frank treason towards both the spirit
and letter of the Constitution" Who can doubt
that the renewed ascendency of the colnpatriots
Of this largc-minded ''lady" would inaugurlte an
era OF persecution, violence, and mob outrage
against all opponents Of slavery, such as our
country has never yet kuuwn2
We daily hear men eminent for financial or
other ability talk of anti slavery sentiment aud
incubation not Onlv rs wrOn & In ITSELF but as
something that might easily be fOreborne or re-
pressed, as if there were no such sentiment as
humanity-ee instinct like thar which thrilled
the heart Of Moses when be saw the Egyptian
shifting one Of his brethren Short-sighted and
mistaken as this nation is, 1t Is capable, when
backed by strong pecuniary and political iute-
rests, to impcl to crimes at which history must
shuddCr.
We hear Of aDti-savory men who. from per-
sCnal ana Other considerations, think of oppOs-
ing the reelection of Mr. Lincoln. We beg
them to consider the whole matter very carefully
Individual fortunes are OF small account in a
crisis Ike this and thOusDnd faults or errors
cannot obliteraie the fact that the great struggle
about to open must array against each other the
champions aud Badyersares of the iualicnabc
rights of man. In that struggle, 1t behoOyes
every Que who believes in Divine Justice and
Human Progress 10 be found on the side of I'm
partial Freedom.
