to the hlaVehulder, "Volt may hold as many
bhivi'S as yon please in Virginia, but sliail
not remove with them into new territory
? n iir d with your own Moot! and troaMire." i
Nevertheless, that negro servitude i.s in>t
incompatible with Caucasian freedom, the '
hiilliant record of our Southern Stales!
clearly demonstrates. During the twohundred
years of its growth there, nut a single
serious ouil>reai; has occurred, ami llio people
of tliost; States have less want ami mise- ;
ry within llieir borders than their neighbors, ;
aiul have produced as many truly great
men as any other country of e<pial papula
tion. While they happily lack some of the j
aitiliciril necessaries of the more crowded '
North, they are also fiee from many of the :
evils that beset us.
But with Abolitionism and its train of,
consequences wo have much to do. The
lJeniocratic party must wage unceasing
war against these traitors to our country, to
freedom and to God. Wo have been for j
twenty years acting on the defensive against ]
these unscrupulous banditti, merely shielding
ourselves from their poisonous missiles, i
and during all that time have been steadily '
losing ground, till at last, emboldened by !
success in almost every Northern Stale, and j
their ranks augmented by deserters and !
plunder seeking robber?, they have well j
grounded hopes of soon reaching, with all
tho appliances of incendiarism at I heir heels, j
the sacred citadel of our lihortms. wln-rc arc
garnered up tlie Iiojjcs of all true patriots ;
for the future greatness of America. Once j
in possession of the General Government,
their black hearts swollen to raying fury '
with revenge against the Democracy and!
hatred of tlie wise and good everywhere,
the Constitution would soon become a dead
letter?the knell of our Union be tolled.? I
We must change our tratics' We must j
carry the war into Africa!
Our present Legislature lias made it a j
duty of the next to examine the question of j
placing negroes on a level with white men. I
If they are to be our equals at llie polls, i
they must be thrust into the jury box, must i
perform military and fire duty; tlicre mu-t j
be no distinction between the white and j
l.lriol- cnftitlna nf mnnl.-In.l in o?.l..i
placcs of amusement. If we unnaturally i
force political equality upon them, they will !
claim social equality in all public matters; '
and their claim must be allowed, revolting j
as it may be to our feelings. The rich will !
be able to stand aloof from them; the poor ;
cannot.
Let slavery in the South alone; it is none ,
of our business; but show the villainy of j
attempting to raiso inferior beings, degrad- j
cd by nature, not circumstances, to a level
with superior, or rather to drag down the
laboring whites to a level with negroes,
raising llio latter being impossible without
j? miracle from the Most Iligh.
The aim of our opponents is to abolitionize
the North, thus placing it in direct antagonism
to the South. A writer in the
hist number of the.Westminster Review, in
an article replete with more than the usual
English ignorance and hatred of America,
tells one truth, unpalatable enough to its
friends 011 this side; and attempts a prophesy,
foolish enough in itself as underrating
the valor of the South, but of value as
: iL i

Ainbrjcan Abolitionists, instinctively thinking
iitid acting in sympathetic concert like

the Stale of Massachusetts, by its rebellious
course toward ihe Genetal Government on
this vile negro question, has virtually
placed itself outside the American Union.

opposing could but succeed in overpowering
the Democracy, the South would be
utterly and totally ruined?would become
a desert, a negro paradise; all wh:c!r might
become history if the gallant spirits of the
South would but tamely look on and see
the aimy and navy transferred lo the North,
while their negroes were emancipated and
daggers placed in their hands, letting loose
so much physical force guided by not u
purtiole of reason, save that of tho raving
devils of Northern Abolitionists.
Our Abolitionists are chiefly found in
thos3 localities where negroes exist only as
isolated individuals, or not in sufficient
numbers to bring out the characteristics of
lho species. Ignorance is emphatically the
mother of Abolitionism. No\v, if we bchtow
the elective franchise upon all our negroes,
the next generation of voters in those
localities will bo moro thoroughly nbolitionized
than ore their fathers now ; and that is
uuji'tv ui me cunning leaders of
" the ring-strcake<f and speckled parly of fanatics
opposed to the Democracy and
3'earniiig to depopulate one-lialf the American
Union. Tlie silly complacency of the
English reviewer, and the fit ndisii chuckle
of the " Protestors" and " Shriekors," who
pray for Ihe accomplishment of his prophesy,
must remind every intelligent American
of the braggart, who, some eighty years
ngo declared in Parliament that with three
royal regiments he coulJ carry fire and
sword from one end of America to iho other.
Then, our entire population was less
than three millions; now, the fighting men 1
nlone of the South reach that figure, and 1
are the very best rnnterial for nrmi?>? ii>? 1
world can produce. 1
Our negroes on Long Island and up the J
rivor, nnd those in New Jersey, and Penn- 1
sylvania, taken as a whole, are not a whit '
better off thin day than were their fathers
when slaves?in faot they hold the same t
relative position, without tlife benefits nccru- s

Our situation is so critical lliat "Caithago

It is from tampering with this negro question
tliat. the Democratic party has become '
so nearly prostrated at the North. Had;
we bodily taken the bull by the horns, had '
wo lift ecu years ago taken the stand we (
soon must take, Abolitionism would have
become as loathsome as Mormonism.
Tii<; evils of slavery are nothing compar- '
ed with the evils of negroism. Abolish .
slavery to-morrow, and negroism would
loom up before the American people as no
practical <juest ion ever yet did. We should
lio compelled to exterminate or rc-cnslavo j
them, or the hopes of the English Reviewer |
and our traitors, the philosophers with ne- j
gro souls in while eases, would soon be rc- ,
alized. Negro sullVago here is one step
toward freeing the negroes of the South : t

Science tells us that the negro is inferior '
to the Caucasian; that you can no more j 1
cultivate nemo man up to man than vou i
' 1
can baboons to negroes, owls to eagles.?
The iii-gro is now, as he always has been ; c
the dillerencc between him and the CaucaMan
being as marked as between the leo- j
paid, lite tiger and the lion. In nvoiv ,
genera there are two species?both sub-di- I

The difference between native and adop- j .
ted citizens of the same race, fades awav in 1

in the third. Many of the most active ; (
members of the native "American" party | j
ate sons of foreigners?a fact of vast impor- i (
tatice, proving as it docs the folly of our (
fears of that kind of foreign intluence.? ' i
I
\\ ilh negroes the case is different?they . (
never can commingle with us, but must' ,
stand forever opposed to us. If the slight
difference of nationality between people of,
the same species and mostly of the same j ,
race, lias produced so much asperity and so I
many tumults, what terrible convulsions I
would ensue if our negroes, who are not!
umy uui 01 uie same race, but are bc\"ond j
the limits of species, were as free as we are, ;
when goaded on 1>3' the fanatical crew which :
hales us as cordially as it pretends to love j

The quick instinct of the Democratic.
masses where negroes abound, strides far

Grave considerations of policy urge that our
leaders take a step in Ihc right direction.? i ,
At the South, State after State, hitherto not j

If our politicians will now bo bold as well i

ill fci-ehlu health of the women of Aiik*i
ua is fust becoming. or lias already become,
>rovcibial; and the lately published Kegisration
Kiport for presents hoiiic
hiking ami alarming facts. In examining .
lie r<c r I of death and the long li>t of fa- '
al maladies, wo (iml a very striking equal j
ty in tlie number of deaths of male* and i
einales arising from many diseases. For j
'istanee?the large number of 770 persons j
lied in this Statu during the. year 1855 of;
vphus fever. It seems marvellous that !
he deaths should havo been divided boween
males and females with such an ap
iroaeh to exact equality as tlie following
igures show, viz : 388 mule, and 382 fenalo.
Again, under tlio liead of convulsions,
.ve find, total (excluding two where the sex
ivas not recorded) 402 . and of th> so 202
ivero males, and 200 females; of the 317
loalhs from scarlatina, 1 V3 were males, 17-1
emales. The striking equa'ity proves that
hero was no special cause exerting an inurious
inlluence upon either sex.
Keferring now to consumption, wo might
. xpcct to find a similar state of things ;
jut no, it is strangely and sadly different.
ICxchiding the deaths below 10 and over GO
"or reasons suggested in the report, viz :
hat wasting and decay arising from old
igo or constitutional weakness, wero often
erroneously returned under the head of
:onsuinption ; and excluding also the deaths
jctween '10 and GO, when there is nearly
m equality and when an}' spccial causes
ivould probably produce their effects, we
?b!ain this remarkable result. Total deaths
*ioil) consumption between the ages of 10
uid 10, 2,590 ; of these but 000, or 37
ler cent., are of men, while 1,024 or neary
03 percent., are of women. Jletwen 10
md 30 the difference is still greater; duing
this period the deaths of females are
1,123 out 1,733 ; i. e., nearly 05 per cent.:
10 to 20 is worse still?very nearly 07 per
sent.
So that we shall not be far from the
ruth in saying, that of the deaths from
;onsumption between the aires of 10 and
25, those of females as 2 to 1.
Jlere evidently is indicated in language
oo plain to he misunderstood, the existence
>f suino speci 1 cause producing consumpion
among females out of all reasonable
uoportion : and which docs not act in the
:aso of fevers and many oilier diseases. It
nay be said that woman's more delicate
ugaiiization renders her more susceptible
.o the attacks of disease ; but if her organisation
is sensitive and delicate, it is also enJowed
with great powers of endurance.?
l'he same thing may be said in regard to
typhus fever; but statistics disprove the
hypothesis; and moreover , men from their
accusations are much more exposed to the
lunger of consumption than women arc, at
least by any necessity. But it is illogical
lo seek in the distance for causes when alliuliicient
ones lie open Icfoieour eyes.?
Look at the dress of the women.
Enslaved by tyrannical fashions imported
from the central city of immorality and
d spotism, with a head-dress that may do
well enough in a temperate clime for a lady
who never goes out but in a carriage, or
the nursery women in shaded gardens, but
criminally absurd where the sun burns with
:ill but tropical power, and where the inIcusc
cold penetrates the skull and stops
Lhe action of the brain ; with their necks,

alike of the laws of health and of

general thinness of dress and recklessness
>f exposure which we need say no more of,
or every man that cares for the modesty,

Why need we seek further to learn how
I is that the American women who are
rcquently said to be tho most beautiful in

iever be violated without degradation to the
