Stephens are the presiding it is absolutely necessary - that every Englishman should be made thoroughly acquainted with the designs and purposes of those who instigated and are endeavouring to consummate the most infamous and unnatural rebellion the world has ever We know what are the opinions of Mr. the Confederate commissioner to on the all-important question of the African We new thanks to Mr. G. that the man chosen by the rebel Government at Richmond to act as its representative in this is committed to a policy on the slave which ought to alienate from him the sympathy ef every right - thinking man in We that Mr. the Vice-President of the Southern used the language of a ruffian in the Senate of the United and that Eloyd has added diabolic blasphemy to his other We can now form some idea of what sort of men the Southern chivalry really When visiting this they are the politest and most conciliatory of gentlemen they conceal their true character beneath the guise of the well-bred man of the But what are they on their own plantations What are they when they are able to lord it over their hapless bondsmen with no eye to watch no decent society in their midst rendering caution necessary in the exercise of their arbitrary and irresponsible power The ruffianism of ribald impiety of murderous assault of Brooks upon the heroic bloodthirsty outrages in of cruelty which every now and then reach us from the although most painful and suggestive statements of writers like who have gone to the South prepossessed in her but have returned with the conviction that she was and degraded to the very these and numberless other shed some light upon the unbridled licentiousness and unparalleled iniquity of the new Slave But I am anxious that the working men of whose opinions ought to do something to shape English policy upon this most should be placed in possession of one or two facts which must materially influence their They have the greatest interest in maintaining the dignity of What can they feel with a slaveholding oligarchy which brutalizes the labourer by converting him into a An oligarchy which sells the useful and trusty domestic the cultivator of the the skilful the hardworking labouring which dooms families to an endless dragging husbands from their wives and mothers from their and selling babies by the The working classes of this country cannot hut regard with unutterable horror and loathing the institutions under which these enormities are and the men who give to them their active support and Hatred of oppression should not be dependent upon similarity of of or of The truly free man sympathises alike with the Indian pariah and the Circassian with the white serf and the negro But still it will serve as another illustration of the utterly dehumanising character of the slave if I show that it despises the free white labourer as much as it does the black and that there are those in the South who would use the upon the backs of men of their own would enslave and lacerate their own kith and The Richmond Examiner Until recently the defence of slavery has laboured under great difficulties because its they were mere They confined the defence of slavery to mere negro thereby giving up the slavery admitting other forms of slavery to be The line of is now The South now maintains that slavery is and and does not difference of The laws

system of free schools has been the cause and prolific source of the infidelities and treasons that have turned her cities into Sodoms and and her lands into the common nestling places of howling We abominate the system became the schools are To cap the the an Alabama thus descants on the same theme Free society We sicken at the What is it but a conglomeration of greasy filthy and moon-struck theorists All the Northern and especially the New England States are devoid of society fitted for well-bred The prevailing class one meets with is that of mechanics struggling to be and small farmers who do their own and yet who are hardly fit for association with a society which the Northern hordes are endeavouring to extend into If these are the prevailing opinions of- the we can well understand why Senator of South should Bay men had no right to vote unless they are possessed of property as required by the Constitution of There no man can vote unless he omu ten negroes or real estate to tlie

produced by certain persons that the slaveholder is par excellence a and that refinement and good taste only exist to the south of Mason and Dixon's We have heard much of the noble descent of many of the Southern the gentle blood which iB said to flow in their It be remembered that their progenitora were as as that Virginia was a colony as well as a field for It is an indubitable fact the slaveholders of the present two characters are too often blended into the haughty bearing and the frivolous the one class being mingled with the brutality and of the I cannot conceive that the English
