—— RE ST Top ETT SP SNARES Se ee 2 Tks A O-id Friday Morning, Cet. 24, 1862. Abolition Aristocracy. It is generally supposed, and, by many, believed to be an indisputable fact, that the wealthy portion of the Southern people, as .a class, are proud, haughty and dominecr. ing. We do not, at the present, intend to oppose, in the least, this gencral Supposi- tion, but to glance, for a moment, at the course of a certain class of people here in the North, who are loudest in their howlings and bitterest in their denunciations of «Slave Oligarchs,” ¢ Aristceratic Nigger D vers,” Southern Nagobs,” &c. Every one knows, and all but some poor, idiotic things, whose bigoted opinions will rot permit an honest confession, must ac. knowledge that there is in New England, and even here in cur midst in Pennsylvania, a class of people claiming to ve aristocrats by birih or the chances of fortune, who are richer, more eraving and mote domincering than the ** S'avchclders’ of the South ; and, in our estimation, more dangersus to the perpetuation of cur Republican form of government, and more bitterly opposed to the good ¢ld doctrine that * all (white) men are created free and equal.” The class to which we allude, 1s styled, in the census returns,—** Manufacturers’’ and will be found to be more numer more exacting, more arrogant and powerful then all the *Slaveholders” in the United States. Upon the labor of white men whose manLood they despise, end whose fedlings disregard, they live and fatten; looking Jus, writh contempt and scorn upon all who have net Leen the recipients of blessings at the . hands of the “blind Goddess, and treating with disdain the sun biowned, hard fisted laborer, for whom they have less respect than for the machines driven in their mills. As the dealer in “ Slaves” measures the Ne gro on the block, so they measure the white | working-man by the 8ize of hismuscies and the strength of his constitution. They Luild great cherches, dedicated to God, mn which the cushioned seats are for! the rich and the back oncs for the poor. — Tor themselves they build splendid mansions ~ to their workmen they rent dwellings lit tle better than hats or send them en masse to cheap boarding-houses. They parade th strects with looks and feelings that would better become the royalists of Europe than the citizens of a Government where all men are declared equal by birth. They will not 1ermit their children to associate with those of the honest laborer, upon whose work they have grown wealthy, but instil into ‘their minds a disposition to regard all per~ sons who cannot number dollars with them nor point to a moneyed ancestry, as inferior in every respect to themselves. Not con tent with the entire political, financial and social dominion of their own States, they seek to convert the whole Government t the'r individual use, and make the entirg country tributary to their prosperity. Their sons fill the offices at Washington and ther representa‘ives infest every foreign Capital and Court. If there are large and profitable contracts to be disposed of by the Govern ment, they claim them as if they owned its patronage by prescription. Bills are forced through Congress by their influence that their interests may be protected and their wealth increased. They look upon the ag- ricultural and producing sections of the country #s but dependencies upon their greatness and powcr. ‘They set up monster banks, with extensive circulations insccured, and compel; by their legislative influence, the people tn accept their promises to pay, as though that were the regularly constitu. ted legal tender. The aged and infirm who have spent their lives, unrequited, in ther services, they cast into pauper houses unto he charity of the people and rob them of their civil hiberties or sell their labor to the highest bidder, as the Negro is sold in the “¢lave” marts of he South. - They welcome the white oppressed from otlicr lands to their mills and shops, and confer upon them the boon of hard labor and low wages, prohibiting them at the same rime from exercising the wight of suffrage. “which, by the influence of this same class of men, is guaranteed to the worthless run- | away niggers frown Maryland, Virginia and other Southers States. To day their politi- cul influence is feit by all and eapecislly by those who are ekeing out a pitiful existence toiling from dawn of day until the twinkling of stars at night on little farms, to pay the cxpenses of » war which these same Abolition oligarchs vstigated and from vhich they are reaping and sirong upon the afilictions of the Nation.— They desire disunion in order that they may the more thoroughly contrel the Government, They cry war! war! and do all in thei¥ power to continue it, in order that they may They pray for a chang inour system of government that aristocracy They desire a permanent nation- al debt that the rich may own the nation, mould its policy to suit their wishes, dictate its principles to please themselves and have in Factories and Furnaces, or cnornous sums—growing wealihy secure its sj oils. way rule, the exclusive control of its Executive, Leg islative and Judicial departments. Such are the feelings, such the desires, such the designs and expeciations of that class of persons who are continually harping and ‘ Southern in order that they may the wore (flectually disguise their efforts to en~ RL about *¢ Slave Oligarchies Aristocrats,” Slave the laboring white man, and give free. om to the so-called slaves of the South Civil War in America, In all countrics where war, civil, defen- sive or oficnsive exists the people thereof are.very likely to forget the fact that their first duty to thethgelves aid to their coun- try is a strict observance of civil law. Hu. manity is by nature weak, and all persons engaged in a war of any kind, are naturally led by pemp, display and the absolute, ar- bitrary authority conferred by military law upon soldiers and officers, to belicve that the only law to which they owe any obedience is that of the battle-field. By man’s very nature, his vanity and pride mduoce and se- duce him to thirk and believe that the o ly power over him is that of the officer to whom he is subordinate, and the longer per. sons are engaged in military strife, the more firmly inrooted beccmes this® unfortunate conviction of the mind and feelings. This was the case with those nations whe had the Feudal system for their government in ages past, and we see the same friendship of nature and action always adverse in their operations to the advancement of Republican ideas (we don’t mean Black Republican) now being carried out in, we might say, all the nations of the old world. In France, par« ticularly, it Las been the great ohject of the Napoleons to teach and to compel some- times their subjects to believe that it was their bounden duty as ciuzens of a great nation, to create and put in operation a grand central power, civil and military, and | place that power in the hands of a single individual. The Napoleons are military wen, and knowing full well the danger of having, under their Government, a surplus population, they have always kept a larg, army in war or peace, and have thereby adroitly managed to direct the attention of their people to military rather than civil law. In this way they have seized the pow - ers which by right belong to the people and have.centralized them in the swgle. strong rasp of a despotism which is modified only in appearance. The ¢ r of such a state of affairs in Ameicra is imminent ; and, certainly, every calm-thinking man can sce 1t. We have qiot only the history of nations, ancient.and modern, to convince ug, but we have the ey- idence of our own senses, for we know and feel that since our unhappy civil war began, liberty, glorious liberty, guaranteed us by our Constitution, has been abridged and | trampled upon. It is unnecessary here to | enumcrate the many instances in which the | Constitution and constitutional law have | been grossly violated, for we know and all | must admit that it has been done; and it should be our first care to inquire what such viclations, by the present National Admin istration, mean, and in what they are likely to end. Do they not indicate a wish on the part of those now wielding the sceptre of ower at Washington, to grasp all the au- | thority they can, and to centralize in their hands «ll the powers which inherently, rightfully and constitutionally belong to the We most firmly, that the past violations are but the precarsors of more, and that 1t is the fixed determination of those now dispenss ing, in the shape of taxes, death and debt, the bounties of the Government, to blot out State lines and do away with State laws, In evidence of the rightfulness of our be. lief, we give the reader some of the senti- wents of those now administering the affairs of our nation. Mr. Lincoln, the present Chief Magistrate of what is left of the United States, said, in a speech delivered in Chicigo, in 1856 :— people of the several Stites ? believe, t* That central idea, in our political opin: ion. at the beginning was, and until recent~ ly continued to be, the equality of men.— i And, although it was always subnutted pa. tiently to whatever inequality there seemed to be a3 a matter of actual necessity, its coastant working has been a steady progress toward the PRACTICAL EQUALITY OF arr MEN, + Let past differences as noting be ; and with steady eycon the real issue, let us re- inaugurate the good old ¢entral ideas of the Republic. We can Qo it. The human heart i3 with us ; God is with us. We shall again be able not to declare thatall the States, as States, are equal, nor yet that all citizens, as civ zens, are (qual, butrenew the broad- jer, better declaration, including both these | and much more, that all men are created equal.” Now. what did Mr. Lincoln mean by the tt good old central ideas of the Hepublic?” Any sane man can only answer the question by replying that he meant the centralization of sufficient power in the hands of a Presi dent and his minions, to enforce and carry through any measure calculated to destroy liberty. No one can deny this—his late proclamations show conclusively that his intentions are to carry out this * good old idea.” +“ Old Abe” is not the only one high in power, who entertains this same * good old idea” of Centralization. Simon Cameron, late Secretary of War, now Minister to Russia, says that ¢ State lines ought to be bloited out—that they are only obstacles in the way of national gov- ernmental powers.” Now, what means this but to hush the voices of the several States, and place in the hands of the general gov. ernment a power strong enough to ¢ blot out’ constitutional landmarks and accom- Slavery. Another specimen of the U. 8. officers who are the President's friends and advocates of Centralization, is Cassius M, ship jard confidence of Mr. Lincoln. He was appointed Minister to Russia, but the of its being so far away that he could not aid in the abolition of Slavery—be was re called and wade a general in the Federal army. An outspoken, able advocate of ab oliticnism, he, like the rest of them, is a8 much opposed to our Constitution and form of goyernment, as in favor of Abolition. In a letter addressed to the London Tunes, when on his way to Russia, he gives vent to hig sympathies for Centralization and Mou- ! archy, in v ry plain language —so plain that | «“he who runs may Tead,” | fie says: . Or the Danger of the Continmation of | plish their favorite object—the abolition ~of Clay. Mr. Clay had and has yet, the friend- place not suiting him—perhaps on account AT El uc! | been the real hater a PBui nation, | while we (Abolitionists) have always fiom the bezinming been the friends of England. Because, though under different forms of Government, we had commen sympathies and a common cause and a common inlers est?! Thete it is, ye Abolitionists and supports ers of the Administration, in few and plain words. You have common cause, common interests and common sympathies with a monarchial Government, and what in the name of all that is reasonable are those ‘“ common” causes, sympathies and inter- ests but the abolition of slavery and Cen tralization of power in a ‘ National Goven- ment.” Further on in the same letter, he declares in unmistakable terms—in lan guage that admits of but one. construction, his preference for a Monarchial rather than a Democratic Government. Hear him : The war may soon pass away-—we may have a quick and vital battle field, and the North may prove its prowess, as certainly it will ; but the truth of national wnity aud power that these events have given, endures combined —condensed -—concentrated in ar my and navy ¢ * *"% We shall ask the questions — Why all these State lines Why all these needless, cumbersome, inlricate entanglement of different powers to make law and to de- cree juagmenl * We can afford to EFEACE the old Colonial Geography. It 1s the ad multed powers of States WITHIN THE NATION that has been the source of all our trouble. — Nor wll the REMOVAL, OF STATE POWER AND THE CREATION OF A NATIONALITY, be a task so fornudable.” Upon this it is useless to comment, — There is the damning evidence of the guilt of those at the head of affairs, and no one can truthfully gainsay ic. Almost Prophetic. From the Christian Advocate & Journal of February, 16th, 1838, we clip the follow, ing porion of au add by the Rev. Wil bur Fisk, ¢ to the Ministers and Mcmbers in the Northern and Eastern Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church,” Forits christian zeal, its cautidning and prophetic character, the extract is worthy a place in the list of warnings from Washing ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Webster, Clay and others: + But it pains me, and almost sickens ml todwell upon this subject. Alihoug t could fill sheets with details of this mosr un brotherly course, 1 will only #!d auothee case of a different kind. The Walchman® has quite recently given a detail, furnished by the same hand of some events that are said to have taken place at **one of our universi- ties,” in which the conduct of a vile young man from the South is held ap as a sample of **southern students,” closing with these exclamations—* What a beauty these south ern students are, in our unversi ies | How desirable desirable to have our sons associ- ate with them !” Here we see th: same fo- gic arguing from one case to the whole—and the same end kept in view —that. of aliena ting as much as possible the north from the south, and the south tro: the north ; and not content in confining this alienating inn ence to institutions purely ecclesiastical but endeavoring to extend it to our colleges and universities. What do these men desire ¢ Are they determined to break ofl all iuter course with the South ? drive their youth from our schoo s and universities 2 the mer chants from our murkets 2 the Church mem bers from our cowmunions ¢ So it would seem. And all this I suppuse for the pur pose of briaging their moral vi fluence to bear more effectually upon their Southern fellow citizens and fellow christians!!! While it is no difficult matter to foresee that this of all methods, is the least adapied to their pro. posed object, (tis most evidently suited to the ruinous result of disunion and settied enmity. What let me ask you €hnstian brethren, and F desire you carefully to note the true answer to the question. What thing you. would have been the present state of the Methodis® Episcopal Church, i¢ the pans and yieasures of the. abclitionists at the berth had been permitted to take their course, without opposition from northern Methodists 2 There can be lit le doubt but at this moment the Church would have been broken ap her institutions paralyzed, and her glory departed. This was early feared, ‘nd a number of northera Methodists set themselves to oppose this schismatic spirit ; and for this they have come in for a full share of t at censure which has been heap. ed upon the South. 'Lhis course it has been said by aholitionists, wis takea to conciliate the sou hh, Conciliate the south to what pray ¢* To ourselves as individuals? God forbid !' To say nothing of the impolicy of such a course, where is the charity of men who will accuse their brethren of saeri- ficing truth and righteousness for the sake of the favor of any wan or any set of men? 1 doubtless speak the sentiments of my breth- ren, with whom I have been permitted to act in this affair, when { say the Church the whoie Church, in ali her noble institutions and in her expanded influence, and her holy heaven-born enterprises, is wha we contend for. Tf by conciliating the south 1s meant the binding together of the different parts of of our work in one united brotherhood, we answer, Thisis what we desire—in this way we would conciliate the south and the North It is for this purpose that I now, beloved brethiern raise my feeble voice, and entreat you to put a stop to this werk of disunion.’ * Zion’s Watchman. orton pa We would bring out our Rooster and lat him crow over t'.e defeat of the Abolitions ists at the late election, were it not that we think a pity of the poor deluded followers of Phnllips, Greeley, Lincoln. & Co., whose woe begone countenances look as sorrowful as a newly weaned calf.” Howsomever, chaining our rooster, needn't keep our Dem- ocratic friends from * firing their big guns,” and ‘rejoicing their fill,” on acconnt of the glorious victories they have won over the combined forces of free negros, abolitionists army contractors and proclamation officiais. 17 In another column will be found the address of the Hon.

The people of the Confederate States are a little:too sharp to follow the advice of such men as the edi tor of the Dispatch. They fight on the de fensive, not the offensive, is only necessary to put in force Mr. Lin - coln’s late proclamations, or pronunciamen - tos. more properly speaking, and despotism stands accomplished. The first, to free the negroes, is very properly followed by the second, to enslave white men, and that by a third, directing how it is done. The plans are concocted, and it now only remains to carry out the programme. It strikes us that it will be more difficult to free the negroes thau to enslave the white men, for the ne- groes are not within the present jurisdic tion of Mr. Lincoln, while the white men are. The first proposition of Mr. Lincoln em - braces the freeing of some four millions of negro laborers, now employed in raising cotton, sugar, rice, &e., the aggregate value of whose labor is about $500,000.000 annu ally. The raw material which they produce is exchanged yearly for $500,000,000 worth of northern productions and importations — two thirds, at least, being northern manus factures and agricultural productions, em- bracing bats, caps, boots, shoes, clothing, machinery, pork, bacon, grains, hay, lum- ber, &. Mr. Lincoln proposes to sweep all this vast commerce away at a single blow, and adopt a policy that would render prop~ erty in New York valueless. But further, he proposes tc transport these negroes to some other country, and to tax white peo- ple for the expense of so doing. But with the loss of all market for our productious, how can we pay the expense of such a vast emigration as this would entail upon us 2—- The price of all articles of tropical produc- tion would also increase tenfold. Already cot ton is becoming as dear as woolen goods were formerly, and its effects will soon be seriously felt by the poorer classes, who will be unable to clothe themselves as they have been accustomed to. But groceries, “The road to Pennsylvania lies inviting- ly open. There are no regular soldiers on the route, and it would be a task of little difficulty to disperse the rabble of militia that might be brought to oppose them. “The country is enormously rich. It abounds ir. fat cattle, cereals horses and mules. Our troops would live on the very fat of the land. They would find an op- portunity, moreover, to teach the Dutch farmers and graziers who have been clam- orous for this war what invasion really is. | If once compelled to take his. own physic, which is a great deal more than he ever bargained for, Mynheer will ery aloud for peace in a very short time. For eur part we trust the first proclamation of Pope, and the manner in which his army carried it out, will not Le forgotten. We hope the troops will turn the whole country into a desert, as the Yankees did the Piedmont country of Virginia. * Let not a blade of grass, or a stalk of corn, or a barrel of flour, or a bushel of meal, or a sack of salt, or a horse, or a cow, or a hog, or a sheep, be left wherever they move along. Let vengeance be taken for all that has been done, until retribution jt- self shall stand aghast. This is the coun- try of the smocth-spoken, would-be gentle- man, McClellan. Ile has caused a loss to us, in Virginia, of at least thirty thousand negroes, the most valaable property that a Virginian can own. They have no negroes in Pennsylvania.

This is the material view of the case. But 21] these fall into insigmficance before the gigantic social issues involved--the ter- rible possibilities of the naturally docile ne- gro being transformed by white men’s devil- tries into a fiend, whose unregulated pas~ sions Know no crime or outrage too mon-~ strous for commission. The mind instinct- ively draws a veil over such scenes, and shudders with apprehensions of the future, wheii it sees men at the helm of public af- fairs so blind, crazy or malignant, as to haz. ard all the hopes of humanity, and all the in- terests of civilization in a desperate attempts to tear down the Temple of Liberty, even if they perigh in the ruins Our readers will bear us witness that we have always told them that the frecing of negroes mvolved, of necessity, the enslaving of the white race, and hence i, does not sur- prise us that this attempted change in the stalus of the negro is accompanied by a cor: responding chauge in the status of the white wen. Heute the civil law and civil courts are abolished, so far as they may interfere w th the President’s policy, and ** court martials and military commissions,” or what in France were called *‘revolutionary tribus nals.” ar: erected in their stead. A¥ the States are now under military swrveilance, and a General Provost Marshal at Washing- ton, with a Deputy in each State, complete- ly centralizes au hority, and reduces des- potism to system. According to the in- structions of these Marshals, 1t is made their duty ‘to inquire into disloyal practices.” —s Heretofore Mr. Kennedy and his subal erns were content to wait until complaints were made before they gave an individual the honor of a visit, but as we understand this order ir makes it the duty of these new of- ficers to turn spies—to resolve themselves into “Smelling Societies,” like the ‘Hiss Committ®s” or “Maine Law Informers.’’— The tendency will be to develope in so ciety a race of pestilent vermin, whereby every cowardly villain can wreak a vengeance on his neighbor. Every scamp who hates the man he has injured, a nd every assassin of character will have a fine opportunity to in- dulge their malignity. 1t is impossinle, at this moment, to say what are to be regarded as ‘‘crimes’’ under the new dispensation, as no specitications are given. “Disloyal prac- tices” are ‘0 be visited with stern punish ments, but whether the standard of -*loyal- ty” is to be a profession of faith in the Abo. lition creed. and the endorsement of the Ab- olition Proclamation. we do not precisely know. Other. proclamations may follow to explain more clesrly what now seems dark, or some practical illustrations may be given, which will serve to open the eyes of (he peo. ple to the awful fact which ought to ring in our eas, that “here lies a nation, which, mn endeavoring to give liberty to four millions of negres, lost its own I’ —Caucasian.

He'was assured that if he would but spread his Edict before the Peo.. ple, armed men would spring out of the earth, at the stamp of his foot. The Proclamation has been issued, and — where are the Abolition Warriors 2 Presi- dent Lincoln, alas ! “‘can’t see them :"* but on the other hand, the Confederate Congress and the papers of the South are using the Proclamation as a Magic Wand, with which to strike new enthusiasm into the hearts of the people.

They have already possession of the Baltimore ond Ohio railroad and the York railroad. By breaking down these and the railroad from Philadelphia to Baltimore, they will completely isolate both Washington and Baltimore. No reinforcements can reach them from either North and West, except by the Potomac and the bay.” ED -— Proclamation.
