20 MUCH LIBERTY, LAzINEss
AND LICENSE.

The restless discomfort among the
working classes in the Northern
and Eastern States, ia such as to
alarm some Of the Northern journals.
and the New York Herald advises
them to 60 West or South.
The turbulent class are those en-
Pertaining communistic notions-no
tions destructive and demented.
When men associate themselves
together to make war on a more
prosperous class, who prefer to work
out tbe ir destiny, than to be contin>
ually complaining, then our symps.
thy is not accorded them. The iu~
creased arrival of foreign emf
grants to this country, bringing with
them sentiments and principles con
trary to the genius Of our govern
ment and the customs Of our people,
have without doubt, sowed seeds of
mutiny and discord in many commu
mites, where peaceable pursuits and
honest labor brought happiness and
good wages. Many of the most ss'
cred institutions Of our country have
been attacked and violated--for in
stance in many Northern and West
ern cities, the Sabbath day has been
almost totally disregarded and desc
Grated, and business lie carried on
With the same concern on the Sab.
bath day, as characterizes any other
day OF the week.
We cannot believe any nation can
have the approving favor of God,
where Sabbath desecratiou, Com
munism and Mormonism are tolerat-
ed, and not suppressed by law.
The very worst features of social dis
order and crime are propagated, and
if not estopped in it's onward march,
we may expect to see such bloody
monster as NihiIism stalk forth to
send terror to people, rulers and corr
poration milIioDaires, all as the di-
| rect result of too much liberty, lazi,
ness and license in the United States.
In the South, we apprehend 10
such troubles 80 alarm our Northern
folks. Here We have abundance OF
land for cultivation and vast water
powers to increase wealth. While
Fit does not enrich suddenly our PEG
pie who cultivate the soil, yet il
gives employment that affords re-
ward for honest toll. Many do grow
rich. others are satisfied with slow
ompetence. No country blooms
and blossoms with as many flowers
or grows better cotton or grain anc
therefore, with ito genial sunshine
and singing birds, there is no coun'
try more inviting than our owr
Southland. Freed fsom negro slave
~, it is no longer cursed with abomi
nations and dIstracting 'isms." The
people are not murmuriDg to create
trouble, but to discard old system'
and advance the IN sterial prosperity
of our fair land with all their energy
and power. There is no resting
place here for incendisry doctrines
calculated to make trouble among
the laboring classes, but growing
disposition to let the passions ano
prejudices of fratricidal strife sum'
Der on. The South is bent on recu'
oeration. We have had enough OF
excitement aud upheaval. Happi'
ness, peace, plenty and prosperity
| are the taIismanic words that Inspire
to action and knit our people together
| in a common cause We live in a
age of reason and progress, but we
propose TO foster no creeds, doctrines
or "isms" that are at war with our
best interests, or the principles of
our Republican government. While
we say death to tyrants, we say long
live liberty and people devoted to
peace.
