Southern people because Of the vlo-
lent acts of few bad men. These acts
,re not more criminal In the sight of the
.w than are others Of similar charae7
Ter which are daily perpetrated IN the
Northern States. Yet they are made
the pretext, for the want Of argument
for slanler and vituperation, to raise
preiudice and excite the ignorant to re-
yense, inst ss such willy Indian savages
lead their tribes to prey upon the limo
cent. There is little difference in fact.
The one wants revenge, 1t is h 8 savage
nature. The other wants office, and
takes this method of lying to get 1t.
We're there no law to restrain him he
would follow the same mode adopted by
the savage, as the more direct. Cowar-

restrains the old Constab e's organs aid

In treating its readers to villifyins abAse

away from it for no earthly use but the
qualification of that old insane hate with
which Wendell Phillips and VIM. Lloyd
Garetson had inspired the old anti
slavery people twenty years ago.
Every argument that the Republican
used in that day to prove that land would
become more valuable, and great bene-
fits would result from the abolition OF
slavery has been shown to be utterly
false, and notwithstanding the Southern
people have manfuly submitted to be-
ing aispoiled Of their property and rob
bed Of their slaves, and are doing the
very best they can to produce the great
crops upon which the government so
long depended for revenue, thy are
made the subject OF such scandalous de-
traction as would make any man who
had q particle Of feeling for his race
ashamed TO see printed about any Of
of bis countrymen or coumry-women; fol
they have descended so low as TO attack
the women also in the same abusive
style. The Republicda Of this city day
