go Liberty! what things are done in thy name!'
Such are the crimes for which the radical jour.
nails of New York are paving the way, and
which they may consummate at last unless their
guilty career is cut short by the strong arm of
executive power. These journals are the Post,
the Tribune and the Times. There is another
paper of the same kind, called the World; but
it is so weak and sickly that its existence would
be scarcely known were it not advertised in
journals of larger circulation. Its ability to do
mischief is so small that it may be passed over
with contempt. But the other revolutionary
organs ought to be taken in hand at once.
Their design is to put the President down
and Get the control Of the army into the hands
Of their faction. Forewarned Is foresrmed.
Let the President, by coup d'esat, strike the
first blow, and they are powerless. He need
not fear them; the people are at his back. Let
him grasp them firmly in his hand and crumple
them up as be would nettles, and they will
never sting again.


AN INuNDATIoN OF NEGRoEs.-The public has
already been informed that the escaped con-
trabands of the South are pouring into Phila-
delphia in large numbers, and that in Washing
ton they have become so impudent as to elbow
white men off the sidewalks insult white wo-
men and be utterly unfit for servants. This
influx Of negroes and this saucy independence
are the very naturalresults of the teachings of
the abolitionists who hold that white man is as
good as a negro only when he behaves himself
and goes strongly for emancipation. But how
will this negro inundation affect the North and
the South?


In the North these escaped negroes will fill
our poorhouses and increase our taxes. Many
of them will learn trades, as they are already
doing in Philadelphia, and white men and
white women will be crowded out of employ
ment. Already we have more negroes here
than we know what to do with, and every fugi-
tive contraband is an incubus and nuisance
If the slaves continue to come North let white
laborers look out for themselves. In Jamaica
and the Barbados, where the experiment of
free negro labor is being tested, the mulattoes
are rapidly gaining power and influence, and
white men are being pushed to the wall. The
same causes produce the same results. We
shall fare no better than the whites of these
islands.


But, while this black labor is surplus here,
it is greatly needed at the South. Cotton,
sugar, rice and tobacco must be raised, and
only blacks can raise it, But, if we permit the
abolitionists to decoy all the slaves to the
North, how shall we get them back again to the
South when this war is over? Everywhere
emancipation Of slaves results in a scarcity Of
labor, and in the British West Indies, where
the want of negro laborers is severely felt since
the abolition of slavery, every effort is being
made to persuade free negroes to emigrate
from the United States. We shall be in Just
the same predicament, by and by, and the South
will be almost valueless because of the scarcity
of slaves.


The problem of the inevitable negro is taking
this shape, therefore slaves are becoming
scarce at the South, where they will be sorely
needed, and plentiful at the North, where they
are not needed, but are burthen and an ex-
pense. Something must be done to remedy
this evil and that Immediately Freedom for the
blacks has been a popular cry in some quarters
for years. 1t is about time now to raise the cry
of freedom for the whites; for the negroes are
becoming masters of the situation.
