The SAD CONDITION OF THE NORTH

kept MP by the negro-worshipprr>. under
the lead OF Phillips, Sumner & 20. The
abolition of slavery. so far from satisfy

their attention and lab,rs toward pro-
noting the comfort aud interests of the
freed blacks, as philanthropy and consis-
tency uld dictate ID hem 70 do, they
are moving heay and earth tn force
those poor creatures out Of tie line O.
life that " ud lead :l.cm 10 solid and

happiness and usefulness, and plunge
them into a vortex Of confusion and mis-
cry. by prenaturely and unrrstrictedly
co f,rrIng upon them the right OF suf-

than bread and meat to them.
If We We're to Judge from the tone of
some of the political journals Of the
mort ! we should say that tile seeds Of
new sectional strife are being abundantly
sown by the radicals strife that threat
ems 70 convulse and inguif all parties and
localities in the Union-North, East,
West and South. We fear that the an-
tagonistic elements III Northern society,
which are daily becoming more and more
eXa>peratcd by the sweeping aggressive
ness of the radio is, and their indignant
tgaunciation BY the conservatives, will
not escape collision. The only chance
for averting this catastrophe is for the
latter, now that they undoubtedly ousti-
tnte al Immense majority of the people
OF their section, to put their foot down at
once upon their malignant and impla-
cable foe and crush him The adical
snake must BE- killed, not "scotched."
Wendell Phillips must be not only r4pu-
dated mut extinguishef.
The New York Herald speaking OF
the dangerous faction headed by this
reckless deihAgogue, sounds timely
warning in the popular ear. IF they are
permitted, says that journal, ITO contin-
ne their disunion schemes, We shall IL
surel y be pluhged into another revolu-
tion and war ae that the late rebellion
followed the long ana persistent agitation
ot the slavery question" There is a
rather sonbre picture that il presented
for contemplation, 20 soon after the ter
minat.on Of the bloody struggle which
was tn fruit Of that same "iong aud per-
sistent agitation of the slavery question,
spoken Of by the Herald.
IL is picture which the South i pain
ed to look at, for she had promised her
self, after laying down her arms, thar
peace would follow, and that the rcstora-
tion Of the Union wo;,ld b. hailed alike
by all classes at the North 1t was Ger
talnly reasonable expectation on her
part that her broad aud unqualified re-
cognition of the Federal authority over
ali her domain W ulL, with the abolition
Of slavery, lead T. an easy and early adj
lAstment Of all the difficulties that were
in lhe way OF hcr rehabilitation in the
! Union.
We are sorry to witness the disturban-
ces which Abolition uiIraists are still
exciting az tie North We want tie
country to enjoy the blessings Of peace,
which it can never do while Wendell
Phillips a-d his foil ,wrrs are free to plot
and scheme for the Illustration uf the Gov
ernment in all its eff .rts and arrange
ments for paciication and fraternization.
We want thr Republic t. rest securely
upon its foundations. and the peopl eve
rywhere III lis oi al bosom 10 b. united
in heart and be prosperous and happy.

Square. or some spot in the vicinity. Il
will now turn to i'uilling. said Barnum
"and such building as will a-tonish the
world On the roof | will have my
inenagerie of W Id beasts from all parts
of the world. It's extent will bc three
times the size Of my late establishment,
and as for curl sites. there will be no
such collection on this continent or upon
