and exaggerated accounts of the ostracizn
and persecution to which such men are be-
ing subjected. To oppose their schemes, and
to pronounce the reasons which they allege
in justification as hypocritical, and their
general course as arrantly knayish, is waste
Of words. They are bad men having pow
er, who mean mischief The cause of Just
government and the rights Of the people
can only rely upon the sober sense and hon
est intentions Of the people themselves, and
these must be soon exercised and made man
ifest, or the case will become critical.
We have been led to these remarks by
some advertisements prominently displayed
in paper, called "Tze Right Way," pub
lished in Boston, by one Geo. L. Stearns, and
gratuitously distributed-the fund by means
of which this poison is poured over the
country being doubtless contributed by the
parties in interest of its dissemination.
The advertisements of the American Land
Agency Company of which Ex-Governor
ANDREW, Of Massachusetts is President,
with Offices in New York and Boston, thus
discourses:
The Company proposes to interest the enter
prise and money Of the country in the opportuni-
tics and means for their useful and profitable
employment afforded by the broad lands of the
South, now open for the first time to free labor
put who're owners and occupiers are suffering from
the waste of war.

The condition of the Southern States as re-
CARDS lawful and well-ordered government
is 30 dislocated and abased that Congress-
ional Committeemustneeds put them through
a course of inspection and publication, and
the temper Of their inhabitants so hostile |
that they still require the Christening hand
of military rule, but yet their broad lands
andfertile acres are SO productive, that land |
agencies founded on Northern capital cannot |
forbear 10 turn penny or two by driving |
hard bargains with the war-wasted owners
of the soil, and farming out their ancestral
possessions TO the SONS Of thrift from Yankee |
land whom they Invite to occupy them. |
The States and people of the South are
judged unworthy of Federal relationship and |
the enjoyment of civil liberty, but their
country with all its sins is good enough for
spectators who have despoiled it. Boston's
puritanic conscience is made of convenient |
stuf-it can sicken when twill, at secession,
but it can batten ON its consequences and
never feel qualm.
