The Negro Under Yankee Rule.
The London Index III rrtrcninC to the candid
speech made lately by Wendell Phillips, re-
marks:
The negro has nothing TO expect from North
ern conquerors but slavery infinitely harder
than anything that exists in Cuba or did exist in
Jamaica. Wherever the Yankee has come
the negro has persisted. sflc has been torn
from the homo where he was well clothed and
we'll lodged, abundantly fed and carefully,
provided. lie has been sold at few dollars q
bead to Yankee spectators, who have worked
him to- death in a few wceks{a he has been
doomed to prowl about the purlicus of the camp,
living on foul offal and dying Of strnge diseases;
and, in his helpless misery, lie has vainly I'M
pored his captors to rid him of this liberty
liberty to starvc and sutherland restore him
to the master whom he loved, and who cared
and provided for HIM. Since this war broke
out tho yankees may have captured some 2OO,-
600 negroes. We have reason to believe that
ono half OF these are dead. In the worst days
Of the slave trade, slaves were never treated sc
i'll and never died half so fast as under the pro
tcctou of Northern Abolitionists Well may
Mr.. Phillips says that if he were negro, che
would dread every victory the part OF the
North" 1t is not by Northern victories that, in
his opinion, the slaves arc to be delivered. The
war is to set them free BY slower, snrcr, and
more terrible process. at is performing exact
ly the work which war did in South America;
it is taking the rivcts ont of society it is cr,i,-
bling up the whole social and civil life into It's
original elements, and whcn that work is com
pletcly done, no mattcrwhat tic form of Gov
ernmcnt be that comes on; the negro is always
free. 1tis to the dissolution OF society, not to
the reconstruction OF the Union, that Abolition
lists are hidden to look for the accomplishment of
their darling object
The States arc to sink into tho condition Of
Mexico or Nicaragua, to he the prey Of con-
tnuai anarchy and chronic civil war, to be
without order, without government, without
the security for life and property, in order that
out Of this chaos may arise The Independence
of the negro. Such is the prospect to which
Mr.. Wendell Phillips deliberately directs the
hopes Of his friends lie dcprccatcs 2eacc. he
even deprecatcs victory, least they should avert
THAT total, all subvertipg ruin by which tho
. slaves is to be set free. Perish the Union, so
that the negro be emancipated extern,n-
ate the Southern people, level Acir cities to the
ground, raYage their lands, close up their ports,
make of their country a;howling wilderness, in
order to'provide fit home for four MILLIONS of
freedmen. What matter if for this end we sac
rifce everything that has made Americans
proud Of their country and has attracted to her
shores the poor and the tiiscontcnted from all
quarters Of the world lit berty, wealth, security
for life and property everything that makes a
hation great apd happy 3 Ali this is lesser
evil than to acknowledge the independence of
the south-a trifing price to pay for the. final
abolition Of negro Slavery.
So speaks Mr.. WendalI Phillips in his char
acter of uncompromising Abolitionist.
