south and North.

We notice that some Northern papers are
raking together, from all quarters, all state
mcnts and stories of wrong, injustice and
bad treatment of blacks in the Southern
States. OF course they are able to make up
quite formidable show of material such
as il is, and are able moreover to make it
appear that the poor negro, since his eman-
cipation, is in II truly trightful condition, -
We have no doubt that an equal amount of
diligence upon the same thing, if applied to
the Northern States and aided by an equal
amount Of Imagination and malignity
would enable them to make an equally ap-
palinp exhibit of negro matreatmcnt in our
own section. If all the Northern newspa-
pcrs were searched daily for cases of assault
upon negroes by white men, for cases in
which negroes were treated uniustly, or re-
fused credit, or turned out of house and
home because of the failure to pay rent, it
would seem to outsiders rs if the white men
of the North spent the greater part of their
time and muscular energy in prosecuting the
black men and women.
Such Il course toward the South is wicked
! in itself and cruel to the negro, rs well aS
baneiul to the country in keeping up section.
al animoSltlcs There are many wrongs and
much injustice practiced upon the negroes
in the South, and it is n sad fact that among
ourselves and the world over, there are
every day to make the human race ashamed
of itself. But it is as criminalto to stigmatiz'
the whole people of the South as being re
sponsble for and goating over those wrongs
as it would be to characterize the Northern
people in likemanner because similar wrong
are perpetrated in their mdst.-NeU lOH

Will Require u Large standing
Army to Enforce Negro Suf-
1ragc at the south.

Gen Carl Schurz is Radical, and favors
radical measures as general thing lie
was sent on special mission Of observation
throughout the South by the President.
Since his return from that mission of OBJ
servation, we are informed, he told the
President that Negro Suffrage could not at.
present be enforced at the South without
a large standing army, The late elections,
where the issue was nakedly made in the
"loyal" States, disclose the fact that in the
East, North and West. This feeling of op-
position to Negro Suffrage in the South
will be set down by the Radicals as conclu-
sive that the Southern States must not be
admitted to coequal participation in the
Government, because, as they claim, the
hearts Of the southern people have not un-
dorgone the necessary change In this con,
nection it may be asked, is it ''disloyal'
feeling that prompts majority of the peo-
pie in the East, North and West to oppose
Negro Suiiragc2 and that if the Southern
States are to be denied their representation
/ in Congress ofthe non extension of suffrage
to the Negroes, why should the Represen-
tatiyes from Eastern, Northern and West
ern States that have voted down Negro Suf-
frage be recciyed9 Statesman,

Behold Your work,

Slavery has been preached against and
prayed against until the church North and
South has been distracted and divided-un-
til the gospel Of the Prince of Peace has
been forgotten in the pulpit-until the I'm
ion of the States has been rent with intcs-
tine fcuds and drenched with fratcrnal blood
until the organization Of society has been
uprooted, and brother made war upon bro
thcr-until the sacred gurantecs of consti-
tutional liberty are withheld from them-un-
til hundreds of thousands have been gath
cred in the harvest of death and millions
more are manned for life. Until Slavery
is abolished and the American Freedmen
Aid commission have issued an appeal tc
the pastors of Churches soliciting contri
buttons on tho national thanksgiving day il
aid of the freedmen. They say that, unles
sufficient aid is given, 10000 negroes ar,
likely to perish before spring in the state
of Alabama and Georgia alone.

New England ProHts on Cotton
Manu- In Ctures.

The subject of the enormous profits now
being realized by the cotton manufactures
in this country is very naturally attracting
the attention of the public. The prices
now demanded for every description of do
mestics are witout parallel in the history of
manufactures, taking the price of gold as
standard. We hear, from good authority,
that on all light goods profit of one dollar
is made upon every pound of cotton used
All the New England mills are working ev
cry day and a greater part Of the night,
and their operations are only checked by
the absolute inability to procure the manual
labor required to keep them going. Hun
dreds of operatives from the manufacturing
districts in England are constantly arriving,
and yet the demand for their services is far
from being supplied Nee lob Heratd
All through the war New. England made
immense sums by hiring neg rocs and for
eigners to fill its quotoes and by employing
its population in filling contracts for the
out of the conflict without wound, and
now it is filling its Golfers by a gigantic mon,
opoly in manufacturing.
We believe this country has been run quite
long enough under the direction New Eng
land. The war originally was as much due
to New England as South Carolina. Mas.
sachusetts and South Carolina produced the
war, and forced the other states to fight it
through. We now have New England leg
islaton at the national and state capitals,
New England religion in our pulpits, New
England ideas in our political economy, and
when we die, those of us who are good will
probably go to New England
The west is largely interested in this mat
matter of paying New England 400 per
cent. profit upon it's cotton manufactures.
We can fight when New England requires
it, make laws as it directs, pray as it dictates
but can We afford thi, frightful claim upon
, our pocket books? Having given our leg
islation, conscicnces and morals into til,
keeping Of New England, must we alsc
: hand over our worldly possessions
: In truth, almost every man in this coun
4 try is wearing a New England collar, will
:. the name on it of his New England owner
That auisant power is putting up.tho Afri
+ can everywhere save in New England an,
l. putting down the white man everywhcr
d save in New England. We fetch and carry
/ and bark and roll over, and fight other dog
h precisely as and when we are bidden by ou
y New Egland master.
n 1t is time the west should do somethin
C for itself We have fought to confer free
It dom on the African, and our next stel
should be to commence Il contest for owl
d independence. One of the first measures
of such contest should be to throw opeI
our ports to the free introduction of cottor
goods from abroad. New England nigh
9 lose - cents per pound of raw material by
the operation, but the same amount would
be gained by consumers in the west and
elsewhere.

No Pence.

II seems the country is to have no peace.
Thirty years ago the abolition fanatics COM
meuced a war on the South-a war of filthy,
living words and boastly expletivos. They
procceded in their wicked work of creating
sectional feuds until JouN Brown, one
less cowardly and equally honest with the
rest, lighted the torch of rebellion which
soon led to the terrible and devastating war
of the last four years The fanatics have
succeeded in ovcrthrowing slavery arl de.
stroying the local and political institutions
of the Southern States. They have ac-
complished all and more than the most rab-
id asked for in the beginning. They have
taken charge Of the Government and plum
dcred it of its wealth. But they are not
yet satisfied. They have the niger and
their demand is now for blood.
However sincere and ardent men may
have been in prosecuting the war, all who
are honorable and brave will accept the sub
mission of the southern people and treat
them with generous kindness. None but
dastardy towards would trample on fallen
and submissive foe. If we desire Union
of the States we also want Union of the
people If we are to live with the South
crn people in fraternal brotherhood, let us
treat them as brothers and act toward them
in that christian charity which will call down
blessings upon our heads.
But these men, characterized by Webster
as Internal fanatics, now demand the ex.
ecution Of the people Of the South, tho
confscation Of their estates, and acknow
edgment Of negro supremacy. After tht
war Of their creation has performed it
work Of slaughter and the hosts are no long
er in martial array, the gibbet is dcmande,
for those who escaped the ravagcs Of war
A year ago the abolitionists declare
themselves for the Union and for the pros
ecution ofthe war to prevent its disruption
Now, they declare the Union dissolved an
announce themselves opposed to its restora
ton. They are suited with nothing whic
tends to peace and general prosperity. The
obtained power by madness and corruption
and they hold it by the same tenure. Th
people were once free and Independent, bu
they have been smittcn by the hand Of abo
litionism and they crawl in the dust am
lick it.
STANTON, BUTLER, BURNSIDE, DICKIN
son, and others, who urged the South tc
secession, have been purchased by the abo
litionists and are now doing the bidding o.
those who purchased them They were Sc
cessionists long before DAVIS and LEE and
their associates thought Of such thing,
and now after secession has proved failure
they are demanding the lives Of those they
urged into it.
The country is ruled by fraud, hypocrisy
deceit and fanaticism, Liberty is bleeding
the country is bleeding, the people ar,
bleeding, AMI the cry is still for blood. i
will go on from bad to worse until the pco
pie regain their lost virtue, dissolve thei
connection with corrupt men, throw off thei
cowardicc and assert the sacred rights whic
are ours by the Constitution and the laws

4 Good Sign.

\ mass meeting of the evangelical clcr-
gymen of Cincinnati was held in one of the
churches of the city on Tuesday evening,
of last week, during which resolutions were
presented and passed, of which the follow
ing are extracts:
Vtcrcdv The moral condition Of this city
mnnilcstcd in tho rapid increase of vice, and
In the wldr-speal indifference and neglect to-
ward religion, Is such aS 90 awaken deep con
cern IN every pions heart for the hohor Of the
cious souls; therefore,
"Res9ired, That II is the sense this meeting
that the times imperatlvoly require that Chris
tianS OF all denominations should maI<cu sim
infamous, continuous and earnest cuprt IN it-
yor OF the cause of our Lord and savior, aud
for tho salvation of our tcllow-mcn."
Precisely the same whereas and re
solved are applicable to almost every 9th
er square inch of the Northern States.
To a considerable extent the clergy are
responsible for this state of things, A ma
jority of them for the last two dozen years,
have been making simultaneous, contin
uous and earnest effort, not for ''the
cause Of our Lord and Savior" but for the
cause of the African. The result is that
they have taken the chains from the negro
anu dJ lnG 'hllc lllne nave produced
widespread Indifference and neglect to-
ward religion, such as to awaken concern il
every plous heart. D"
There are perhaps less negro slaves in
the world than there were ten years ago,
but there arc a great many more sinners.
There are more free Americans than for
merly, but the "moral condition of this
country, manifested in the rapid increase
Of vice, is without u parallel.
Having saved the bodies Of large mum
Der of Africans, at the expense of an equal
number of souls Of white people, we sup
pose the clergy are now willing to resume
their abandoned labors. 4 few sermons
upon sin, with no allusion in them to JouN
Blows, JEFF, DAVIS, or the African bond
men, would be an agreeable variety to
church. goer, aud the result might be NOR.
al improvement on the part of the audi
encos. Having spent ten years in telling
people how to vote, it might be good
thing il our clergy would now inform their
congregations how to secure salvation.
