Yet the record has Been made and will stared

pose open anl bold repudiation when he ap
pended the following to the dreft of hi s
emancipation plan ?--' Any State, however,
having received ono or more of such bonds,
which shall subsequently 0-introduce or tol
crate by law, slavery within its limits, the
said bonds trill be consul(' ed null and rind

of the individual State is preserved, it•Anglit

or more of such States. ai'to-day, may free
their slaves, in course of tit* may again
insaute slavery. Ten, twenty or thirty
}vats hence, po'ssibly the verdict of the peo
ple would be against negro freedom, and
the institution be restored again. ••Does the
P. canlent of the United States really mean
to errubt a law which will destroy the 'value
of a bond of the United States in the hands
of a third, or a thirtieth party, a pier ter fo
a century hence, because, forsooth, said
bond happened to have beep originally giv•

Have I legally any rigtrto repudiate a
note of Enloe, in the hands of a third party,
an innoccut holder, who paid its value, be.
cause the party I gave said note to might
not have given ale consideration for it I
Legally,l think not, nor would any princi4

There is no limit to the schemes of the ;nail

a debt so huge that figures will hardly con
vey its magnitude. Not only was i this war
debt ono created needlessly, and colargep
by the grossest Iztravagance, 'but while we
hear on all sides, the cry of•' patriots to the
rescue, your country is in danger,' I find
that.the thieving scoundrels in high places
are those who bawl the loudest about • pat •
riotism.' When you and 1, brother work
ingmen, look at the vampires sucking the
brood of the treasury, wherever a vein can
be pricked, when we see the - very Cabinet
itself helping to weaken the resources of a

Enclosed with the above letter we found
the following article. It was originally

and copied into the Weel.ly Times, August
Itith, 1848. What terrible troubles might
have been avoided had its eloquence and
prophetic warnings been heeded t
I=
We havo read of two bitter foes meeting
on a plat of,ground beiide a deep precipt.
tone chasm. They engaged hand to baud,
steel to steel, in the strife. One of them at
length, feeling that his opponent was get
ting the better of him, grappled in, and
strove to i kaar his antagonist to the, ground.
They stregled. they , wrestiod, they bent
backwards and forwards, and swayed on
either side. In the fierceness of the strife,
they approached the edgy of the cliff. Sud
denly one of them, by a mighty effort and
Hinging his whole weight and strength to- ,
wards the brink, bore his foe onward„and
in a deadly embrace, they both fell, crash
mg, bloody, lifeless, down into the abyss
below.
Muir all the blood and treasure, toil anti
sultering ; after all the prayers and
watchings, faith and bopo, in was
laid"the glorious Union of these United
States ; after all the glorious results, and
rich fictions of this Union ; after all the

of that blessed ...Union," in one general sov
ereignty of many independent-States ; after
all the triumphs of wit' and , peace, which
have added glory to glory on the bright es
cutcheon of the nation ; after all the hal

events of the past. and brighter, greater, ho

hopes and strong faith of. millions )1 the op,
pressed and down trodden in the old world,
who have gazed and watched oir rising
brightness as the glad star of promise to the
world ; after all thin, and after we have at,
Mined a position among the nations of the
earth, suck.as was never reached since the
eatioh, powerful, peaceful; harmonious at
home, honored abroad, hippy Ind free—
now with insane madness, we fast stir up
, the bitter waters of contention between. the
1 North and the South, With asuicidtd_reek
lessness, we will urge ou the crisis: What
though we can hear the silken cords of fra
ternity cracking, and see thread after thread
patting. we will not falter. No ! taunt the
not Southron with the black, plague-spot
which he caught from Northern cupidity ;
tree nim for hik mifftortunes ; pet him .
his prejudices ; madden him by our pOwar ;
twit him of his poverty, and Den sneeringly
dare him to sevee the Union.
Oh; it. is vastly fine, it is transcendently
humane and. philanthropic, for us to talk
and declaim about Slavery, to mount the car
of liberty and ride in triumph over one half
of these powerful, happy States. It is high
and noble conduct after a series of gross at
tacks and aggressive Movements, which have
compelled the South to stand on the defen •
sive, then to hold up our hands in pious hor
ror at "the deep depravity of the South,"
and affect to Wonder men can be so wicked.
Bow lovely, how becoming in us, after pit
nig insult and indignity on the slaveholder,
and arousing the fiery spirits of Abe fervid
South almost to frenzy, to raise our hands
and eyes to Heaven, and give thanks that
we are not ass-othei-Men are, even as t hose
slataliolders yonder. Oh. yes .and them
maid. Apply Iho scourge ; talk of human
ity and laugh at your brother. He is la
slave . • - • mi—licr hp was
and you are strodg—be is a sinner and you
'are a saint. Hedge him - ; aorrtiund him
with a high wall ; chain him to S. reek ;
laugh at his s . truggle s ; boast. orient own
strength and tithes and then dare him to
secede from the 'Union.
Such seems to be the chosen course of
some of our superfine - patriots and philan
thropists of the North, if wo may judge by
the gusto with which many journals fling all
manner ()flaunts and opprobrious ! epithets
at the ".slaveocracy" of the South. .!1-t ma
not a labor of love, but line of bitter bate.--
Rea Son is thrown to . the winds ; kindneet
and fraternal feeling has given place to a
struggle of supremacy. .No sympathy is
felt for their misfortune': no allowance
made for their position no consideration
for the inflrmittes of human nature ; ?jut
with whip and spur they dash,on upon their
Southem. brothers. This is all noble, hu
mane, and high minded now. •
But when they have goaded the South on
vuey brink of desperation ; when as
the legifilhate and inevitable results of their
own mad career, they shall hear crashing
around them the tumbling fragmenis of our
own once :gloriofts and magnificent temple
when our land 2E1411,0 fu) petty powers,
