WHO BEGAN THE WAB?
Messrs. Editors : Man; and various
attempts have been made to unravel the
great mystery who began the war ? or, in
other words, to give the world a knowledge
of the source from whence flow the pois
onous, filthy and loathsome fountain, the
effects of which have maddened the minds
and fired the hearts of so many Americans,
the best and bravest citizens against eaoh
other, to a degree unparalleled in the
history of the Christian world. Citizens
of the South against those of the North—
citizens whose names America at one day
was not' ashamed of—citizens who'm Amer
ica in the days of her prosperity raised
in her own house and instrnsted with the
keeping of her most saored treasures—
elevating them to the dignity of men in
eyes of an observing world. Now with
ingratitude, equalled only by that of Lu
cifer when be rebelled against the God of
Heaven and Earth, these same citizens
usher forth armed to the teeth with all the
hellish implements of war, with viper
hearts.and men only in form, driving the
chariots of death and destruction through
the streets of every oity, hamlet and vil
lage, the comforts of which were but a few
short years ago purchased by the blood of
their own fathers, and as it were determined
on the dishonor and eternal ruin of our
happy home in America.
America, the only country the Sun ever
shone on that never was oonquered by an
invader; that sympathizing America, whose
open arms received and made welcome the
distressed and downtrodden of every clime;
that America, whose flag was, is, and we
hope ever will be, the passport to freedom
from pole to pole; that lovely Amerioa,
the garden and paradise of the world.—
Oh ! my country ! how painful to behold
thy disastrous condition. Thy people in
martialed ranks ; bi other against brother
and father against son, wading knee-deep
in each others blood for the common de
struction of all! In the name of high
Heaven what can all this mean 1
It may well bo asked, as it h#s often
been, in God’s name whatoan be the cause
of such an unholy conflict 1 This has
been a world-wide question. Many, who
in their short-sightedness could see noth
ing behind the curtain, have answered that
slavery was the sole oause of all our
trouble ; and even President Lincoln, a few
days ago, told some of his colored friends
that- if slavery and the black race had
never existed, this war would not have
taken place. We concur with Mr. Lincoln
in so far as to say, that slavery has had
much to do in bringing on this difficulty,
and we believe that the emancipation of
slavery never would have been so exten
sively advooated in the North, nor so
much notioe taken of it in the South, had
the American people been conscious of its
authors and its original design. And we
are perfectly convinced, by long observa
tion, that had the people of the United
States been more careful in adhering to
the admonitions of the great and giant
minded Washington, when bequeathing to
a free people his last legacy and blessing,
telling them to beware of foreign influ
ence, peace would now be reigning where
war is raging. In 1844, and at a still
later date, when politics run high, we have
been told that foreign influence was about
to overtake us, but that was only a politi
cal dodge, got up to divert our attention
to a wrong quarter where the enemy was
not to be found. Whilst the demon most
to be dreaded was preying at the life’s
blood of our happy country, the influence
of perfidious Albion—for that was the
enemy whose influence the Father of his
Country so much dreaded, for he well
knew that she was the ‘enemy of the liber
ties of mankind all over the world. But
of all oountries calculated to injure us
politically, England was least suspected,
the more so from being frequently told by
political hacks that England was the
freest and best government in the world,
and that England was America’s friend.
We were one stook—one people—one re
ligion—speaking one language—almost
one and the same person—mother country,
and what not ! But, my dear friends, by
our own blind simplicity we have grossly
deceived ourselves in England’s conduct
towards Amerioa, and the only man who
can see England’s treachery towards
America is the man whose politics never
bound him to any party further than the
interests of his country was at heart; and
the only thing which astonishes us, is that
the body of the American people never
can draw the veil to one side and view
. England in her true position. England
wants, and always did want, to have
America weakened down so as to suit her
purpose in the balance of national power,
and it was neither yesterday nor day be
fore that she began her attacks on Amer
ica for that purpose; and as we mean to
prove that England is the cause of this
desolating war, and has put slavery into
the minds of the American people, as the
etching tool is in the hand of the operator
to work the design, we only wish to draw
your earnest atttention to a few facts
whioh will satisfy the mind of every un
prejudiced man as to the truth of our as
sertion beyond all contradiction.
The first thing to which I direot your,
attention, is to an article which appeared
in the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post,' which 1 remember reading at the
time of its publication. I think it is in
the issue for the last week in December
1832, written by the late and much la
mented Mr. Richard Rush of that city, as
an Address to the People of this country.;
and proving to their entire satisfaction that
the threatened rebellion of John C.Cal
houn, whioh agitated this country at the
time, was altogether of English origin. It
is from a conversation which had] taken
place between himself and a few of the
members of the British Parliament, whilst
he was in London as Embassador from
this country, as early as the year 1824.
Their place of meeting, I think he says,
was the King’s Arms Inn, and, after an
exchange of common courtesies, America
and her strength became the subjeot of
the Table. Mr. William Cobbetf, who
. bad long been in this country, said that
England would yet take America. Mr.
Bash wished to know how that could be
done, after England falling so far short of
the mark in all her former attempts. The
reply was positive, that .England would
agitate some untoward question in Ameri
ca, wherein both North and Sooth would
be deeply interested, until they would be '
exoited to aivil war, and then both would j
become an easy prey to the invader. And ,
who, said the writer of the article referred j
to, is he who will not acknowledge that:
we are now reaping the fruits of England’s !
influence through -the agency of John C.
Calhoun. So mnch for English influence
and Cobbett’s prediction—that influence
whioh planted in the heart of South Caro
lina a never dying hatred for the Amer
ican Union. A hatred, the effeots of j
whioh at that day was as likeiy to produce |
as serious oonsequences as the war of the
present time can do, had it not been for the
timely and manful intervention of the in
trepid Jackson. Thus England in her
disappointed rage was forced to put on her
studying cap, and sent forth a hypocritical
yell of philanthiophy from both Houses of
Parliament for the abolition of slavery in
the British West India islands. Societies
were formed, debating rooms were opened,
and collection boxes were plaeed at every
cross roads, at every workshop and faotory
gate, at every theatre door and ohuroh
gate; and as the greater number of the
members of both Houses were cotton
manufacturers, either spinners, weavers,
bleachers, printers, or dyers, it required
but a short time until there were funds
sufficient raised to pay the planters of the
West India islands for the title they held
in their slaves. This was the system by
which philanthropic England carried out
her soheme of emancipation, whilst the
government never subscribed one shilling
towards the enterprise ; but made 'it orim -
inal in any Captain or Master of a ship to
take any of the black population off the
islands, unless as servants and return them
as such, so that there was no danger of
their emancipation ever interfering with
the interests of the laboring classes in
England ; whilst, on the contrary, if she
could have got the Southern planters to
follow •her example, she knew that the
liberated slaves, by spreading over the
Northern States, would give annoyance to
the laboring olasses in that quarter. But
as the Southern Planters did not deem it
prudent to follow in her track, she thought
the next best card she could play would be
to get up a hue aud ory in the North
against the institution of slavery in the
Southern States, and thereby threaten the
planters of sugar, cotton and rice with in
evitable ruin, knowing well that if either
of these dodges were successful, sho had
lit the faggot of never dying hostility in the
bosom of the Amerioan Union, whioh was
certain one day to bring the fulfilment of
Cobbett’s prediction through a very unto
ward question. And to obtain that end,
with the sagacity of the sneak that be
guiled Eve and the hypocrisy of the Devil,
who was a murderer from the beginning,
England oovers the ocean with ships and
lands her legions of hypocrites in the garb
of Missionaries on our Northern sea board,
spreading over all the free States like the
locusts of Egypt, proaching to the unsus
pecting Americans that the institution of
slavery was an abomination in the sight of
God, and that by abolishing the same they
would be doiug God’s best work, still hold
ing up England as an example.
At last the slave question beoame wor
thy of consideration, and in the counties of
Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Schuyl
kill and Lancaster, as well as in every
other corner of the North, debating rooms
were opened. The question then being
whether was slavery a blessing or a curse
to the country, and whether it should or
should not be abolished ; and for the use
of lecturers on that subject, a large and
magnifioent hall was built in Philadelphia
in 1838, known by the name of Pennsyl
vania Hall, and was occupied for several
weeks by lecturers on slavery—many of
them advocating not only the abolition of
slavery, but the acthal amalgamation of the
black and white races! During the time
the lecturing was going on, it was quite a
common thing to see a sparkling maiden
of first olass lady-like appearance, in the
neighborhood of the Hall promenading,
linked arm in arm with some high oheeb
boned buok negro with a shirt oollar cut
ting his ears, and him walking on the end
of his leg as it protruded through the mid
dle of his foot, whilst his ivories were
far from being hid. This waß done of
course to introduce the praotice of amal
gamation. Amongst the most conspicuous
of the lecturers at that time was the very
eloquent David Paul Brown, of the Phila
delphia bar, whose opinions on amalgama
tion so disgusted the citizens that they rose
up in masses, broke in the door, kindled a
fire in each of the four corners of fhe Hall
and consumed the whole building, whioh
but a few days before had cost forty thou
sand dollars. Mr. Brown for a few months
left the city, and the cry for amalgamation
dwindled into nothing. Bnt amalgama
tion had yet more evil deeds to perform.
Whilst England’s influence was thug
goading on the people of the North to the
destruction of Southern institutions, her
agents were also at work in the South urg
ing them to resist any tariff measures that
might be presented in Congress for the
protection of Northern manufacturers or
business generally; and some English
speculators have even gone so far as to tell
the Southern planters that England would
buy all the cotton the South could raise,
provided they would refuse selling that
article to the people of the North. This
was as a matter of oourse to sustain
English manufaoturies. Thus, for many
years, between North and South, England
held, as it were, the position of a hypo
oritioal mediator between two disputants,
saying strike that sooundrel, and whisper
ing in an under tone to the other, if 1 was
you I would not stand that, but you oan
do as you p’ease. Thus at every dodge
driving the poisoned ‘arrow of bitter re
venge deeper and deeper into the heart’s
core of our peaoeful country. But the
deepest, deadliest and most destructive
wound ever aimed at the peace and tran
quility of any oountry by a foreign and
unsuspeoted enemy, was inflicted in the
bosom of this happy republic by a sooiety
of the Queen of England’s maids in wait
ing, between the years 1848 and 184 ft,
under the delusive veil of philanthropic
zeal for the diffusion and inorease of re
ligion amongst the African race in North
America. The inconsistency of suoh an
act, at suoh a time and from suoh a
quarter, is .what develops the monstrous
fraud. embodied in - the atrocious. design.
It will nodoubt be remembered that from
“THAT OOUHTBY Ifl THI HOST
LANCASTER CITY. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 30, 1862.
1846 to 1851 it pleased the Giver of all
Good in His Divine and merciful Providence
to visit the western parts of Enrope with
what is generally termed a short crop, and
in the more westerly parts the lack of pro
visions was, more sensibly felt; and ex
perience having proven that when the
potato is raised on Irish soil it is more
nutritive than when it is elsewhere culti
vated, causes tbst root to be greatly used
in Ireland by alt Classes, but more so by
the working people; and the potato having
entirely failed in Ireland during the above
mentioned periods, famine, starvation and
death swept that island, whose population
numbered six million of souls, to suoh an
alarming extent that thousands and tens
of thousands laid down and died by the
way-side' for want, of bread, till the grave
in five brief years closed over one-fourth
of its whole number of inhabitants. And
when an Irish eommittee petitioned her
most gracious Majesty, setting forth the
starving condition of Ireland, with a view
to excite the British government to lend
a helping hand to elevate the sufferings of
her Majesty’s most loyal subjects, that
oommittee was answered by a letter from
Sir Robert Peel to Daniel O’Connel,
stating that Parliament would not meet
until late in February, a period of three
months from the date of the letter ; thus
at a time, when it was no uncommon thing
as stated in the London Times with sar
castic cant, that only one hundred and
fifty had died the day previous in Ireland
of starvation, and instead of helping to
relieve the poor and needy. Every man
who had sympathy to think and courage to
say that the government ought to extend
a paternal hand in that critical junoture,
were dragged from their homes like as many
beasts of prey, shut up in dungeons, tried
like murderers by paoked juries, to be
hanged as felons, and to be quartered and
beheaded as traitors, whilst in the Queen’s
lenienoy their sentence was oommuted to
transportation to Van Dieman’s Land
during her. Majesty’s pleasure.
It was at this trying moment of Ireland’s
existence, a moment which stands in her
history’s pages as the groat famino of
the nineteenth century, that Amerioan
sympathy for Ireland drove a thrill to the
heart and brought a blush to the face of
perfidious Albion, and renewed never dying
love in the heart of every Irishman for his
adopted country, a truth which their con
duct has proven on every battle field. So
soon as the alarming account of Ireland’s
deplorable condition reaohed the happy
shores of Amerioa every heart melted with
sympathy, every bosom swelled with be
nevolenoe, every man’s hand was thrust
into his pocket bringing forth the one
thing needful ; and in our Congress halls
the sound of sympathetic benevolence for
Ireland rang loud and long, the doors of
the national treasury were thrown open,
and the archives of every commonwealth
in the land poured forth their donations.
In every city, town and village meetings
were held, and collection boxes appropri
ated. In Philadelphia, in Independence
Hall, the first day the subscription list was
opened seven thousand dollars were col
lected ; the second day six thousand dol
lars ; the third day five thousand dollars ;
the fourth day four thousand dollars ; the
fifth day three thousand dollars ; the sixth
day two thousand dollars; and the seventh
and last day one thousand dollars were
collected. Besides, many thousands were
collected in the different wards of the city.
Every banking house and savings institu
tion handed out their thousands and tens
of thousands, and throughout the Union it
was all as one voice of sympathy for the
suffering Irish. Provisions were purchased,
ships were chartered, captains and orews
were hired, and in many instances oaptains
volunteered their services ; and from the
St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande the ocean
was covered with ships laden with all
kinds of provisions ; and as fast as sail or
steam oould propel them safely into port,
eaoh discharging their swellftg cargoes—.
the donations of the free, happy and pros
perous people of America into the empty,
hungry and welcoming lap of ever gener
ous but then famine-strioken and Starving
Ireland, ihat aot of American benevo
lence stamped indelible shame on the frozen
heart and brazen forehead of that would
be imperial parliament of her most gracious
majesty for its disregard to Ireland’s wail
ings in her moments of adversity, and to
tell what effect that act of Amerioan
friendship had on the hearts of Irishmen
we have only to look at their deeds of
daring at Bull Run and throughout this
oampaign.
But America Wes' not to go long un
punished for his benevolenoe to
wards suffering Ireland. The Queen
and Consort viewed that aot of
American humanity with disgust, and in
stead of opening their hearts to the relief
of their suffering subjeots they oaused a
meeting of the Lords of the Colonies to be
held at the house of the Duke of Suther
land, in London, in the month of August,
1849, for the purpose of concooting the
easiest means of driving the last nail in
Ireland’s coffin; and whilst the Russels,
the the Aberdeens, the Der
by’s, and the two Highland gentlemen, the
Duke of Sutherland and the great Lord of
the Highlands, the Duke of Argyle, were
closeted, in the Highland man’s baok room :
planning a coercion bill for the suspension
of the writ of Habeas Corpus and the es
tablishment of Martial Law in every
oounty in Ireland, as a means of chaining
down by England’s iron grasp the few
whose souls and bodies still hung together
in the form of liviSg skeletons, having
passed through the ordeal of famine’s bit
terest trial, that under the weight of Eng
land’s iron heel Ireland’s grave might be
sealed, and the name of that once nursery
of ohristianity be only known to futurity
as, a thing that had passed away. And
now, my friends, let us view the hypoorisy
of the Queen’s Maids in Waiting, who
whilst their husbands were in eonolave in
the baok room for the above-named pur
pose, were themselves in the parlor as
sembled with Lady Sutherland at the head
of the board, at the hour of midnight, oon
cooting the ruin of Amerioa under false
pretences, by .appropriating ways and
paeans for relieving the bodily wants and
aiding in the better religious training of
the colored population in North Amerioa!
Suoh was the object of these two meetings
as worded in the London, papers.
It is an old saying that oharity. begins
at home; but not so with the Queen’s
Waiting Maids, and the inconsistency of
-the objects of these meetings compared
with the time and oiroumstanoes fully ex
poses the.atrooious .design, the results of

country to the heart’s core; and no sensi
ble man can be so- blind as-not to see it,
for had charity been the object of these :
Angel-like ladles, there was certainly suf
ficient matter at home whereon to bestow
their benevolenoe ; for the Home Missions
had just published a report showing to the
world sthat there were twenty thousand
persons in the City of London living by
stealth or plunder, and thirty thousand
rose every morning not knowing where to
get a mouthful of bread; sixty thousand
could neither read nor write, and that ig
norance prevailed to a still greater extent
in the mining distriots. They say that
having occasion to visit the oolonies, they
were .astonished to find that, ignoranoe
reigned there to such an alarming extent.
The people soaroely knew when the Sab
bath came, and when they conversed with
some of them concerning Christ oruoified,
they had been told that such a man never
lived in that district; and that they were
several times asked if Christ was a good
boss, or rather if he was a good master,
or if he was the candidate that was up for
York or Durham at the next election ?
There was a wide and uncultivated field
for the benevolent hand of charity to oper
ate upon, and that too within the hearing
of the Royal Falaoe, unheeded and,r.un
oared for hy those dear little Angel-like
creatures, the Queer’s Maids in Waiting.
But to speak ot charity. We ask the
world where is the man that ever knew of
a charitable act to come from an English
Queen or her Waiting Maids? No, no—
we are more likely to find an eel’s neat on
the top of Bunker’s Hill Monument than
to find oharity in the bosom of an English
Queen or her plate-washers. Indeed it
was the very reverse of oharity whioh
prompted these damsels of royalty to as
semble at the darkest hour before day and
form a society for the education of Ameri
oan children, either black or white. It
was the spirit of rancorous hatred, envious
malice and cruel revenge that, under the
unsuspected garb of Religion, they might
have a ohanoe of throwing the last royal
armful of unquenchable faggots on that,
already flaming pile of Abolitionism which
England had already kindled and kept
raging in the bosom of Amerioan fanatics.
So that in the end, by hypocrisy, these
royal nymphs might aooomplish their deep,
dark and damnable design, whioh had de
fied England’s power by land and sea,
combined with the . skill and oourage of
Howe, Clinton, Burgoyne, Rodney, Corn
wallis, the traitor Arnold and the gallant
Buckingham to accomplish—the destruc
tion of the Amerioan Union.
After the above meeting the first packet
brought out a reinforcement of mission
aries to stir up and keep alive the new
system of Abolitionism under the pretence
of a religious training, and it was but a
short time until it became the untoward
question in whioh both North and South
were deeply interested according to Oob
bett’s propheoy. The Laborers in the vine
yard of the Lord, as it was termed, were
regularly supplied by England. Their
rapid maroh was so suooesßful in the field
of conversion that great numbers of the
Amerioan people, in their honest simplici
ty, were so muoh astonished and oharmed
by the wolf in sheep’s olothing, that in
the month of October, 1849, the Boston
Atlas, a well-known newspaper of that
: city, came out in an artiole thanking God
that there had been an allianoe formed be
tween the Ladies of Old England and the
Ladies of New England for the better pro
tection and religious training of the color
ed ohildren in North America ; and many
of my courteous readers will no doubt still
remember the very appropriate reply which
Lady Tyler gave to that artiole. It was
in substance, that the Ladies of London
would do well by first looking to the wants
of their own starving white population at
home, before they would waste their be
nevolenoe too freely on the dark popula-
lation of North America—for the United
States were well able to take oare of their
own people. That answer ought to have
been written in letters of gold and placed
in the Halls of Congress at Washington,
where the English Ambassador oould read
it daily.
Still the ball of Abolition rolls on from
the debating room to the pulpit all over
the Northern States, and indeed it was
apparent that the different congregations
vied with each other in denouncing slavery
and intemperance ; and amongst others the
fanatical Henry Ward Beeoher, of New
York, even went so far as to tell his con
gregation that men should sell their Bibles
and buy Bowie-knives and rifles and go
down South and shoot and out the throats
of those who kept slaves on their planta
tions, and by so doing he would oonsider
them justifiable in the sight of God for
doing his best work. And it iB too well
known that suoh as the above were the
general sentiments of the Northern pulpit,
so that Mr. John Chambers, of Philadel
phia, was perfeotly oorreot when he told
his congregation on Thanksgiving day,
1860, in the ohuroh in Broad street, that
the American pulpit was the oause of this
unhappy struggle, and few men living
knew .the cause better than his reverence,
as he himself had preached the same
doctrine for many years, and at the same
time knowing well that it was England’s
desire he should do so. Whilst religious
fanatics in the North seemed so enchanted
by the subject of slavery, for the purpose
of debate the political wire-pulling dema
gogues, bcth North and South, were not
unmindful of its capital producing quali
ties. In the South, and by a Southern
man, a book was written on the abomina
tions of slavery, known by the name of
Helper’s Book, whioh was largly endorsed I
by members of Congress at Washington. ’
Whilst in the North societies were formed,
known by the name of underground railroad,
under the influence of what they termed a
higher law, from Canada, to California,
linked with that of the Queen’s dames in
London—the latter being the fountain head
from which monthly instructions and the
means of having them exeouted were trans
mitted to the former and at the disposal of
Mr. Horace Greeley of the New York
Tribune, who acted as President for the
underground track, and who wps to see I
that when the man with the woolly head
would be kidnapped or stolen from his
proper owner, whether agreeable to his
feelings or not, he would be faithfully con
cealed and forwarded to the most remote
corner of her Majesty’s dominions in North
America. This dodge was altogether for
the purpose of exciting Southern animosity,
but too slow for political purposes, in
in the Presidential campaign. Where
fore it was agreed upon by the t Queen’s
1 Maids, the Greeleys, Beechers, . Smiths,
Wilsons &_Co., that nothing short of the
effusion of blood could oome anything
near the mark of. the original design.
Renee bleeding Kansas, agreeably to the
London articles of managment, the filthiest
oess-pools of broken merchants and disap
pointed politicians were dragged,and lo and
behold! a : tool every way suiting their
purposes, comes forward in the person-of
John Brown who had been tenderly raised,
carefully , educated, married and lived
oomfortably for many years, and by his ap
pointments rendered reckless of life, offer
ing himself as a fit person to be a conductor
on the underground railroad. He is just
the right man in the right plaoe, said
Greeley; and Brown goes to Canada in
the first train. From Canada back to New
York, from New York to Canada again,
and from thence to Kansas, with hlB dis
patches in his pooket how to act and how
he was to be rewarded. And there he
bums a barn belonging to one of the new
settlers, and a stable belonging to another,
and then flies to Nebraska, stays a short
time there, and goes baok to Kansas, makes
himself master of a few rowdies, and leaves
them at work destroying life and property,
whilst he returns to Canada, and from
thenoe to New York, and there enlists
some few of the Five’Point lads and others,
numbering in all about twelve desperadoes.
He sees his employers, reoeives his pay and.
new instructions, and Js off again to
Kansas ; and with his band of land pirates
commences and carries on a wholesale
trade of butohering and burning, according
to his own confession, for the spaoe of
three years. Whilst the whole Northern
press was kept alive by the murder ory of
bleeding Kansas, whilst none but the anti,
slavery fanatios of the North and the
Queen’s Maids in London had the slightest
knowledge of John Brown, or for what
purpose Kansas was kept so bleeding,
until Kansas became too hot for him and
his murdering brigade, and then to the
tune of Greeley’s quiok march, he and his
invinoible band, twenty-five in number,
strolls down through the State of Virginia,
armed to the teeth with rifles, shot-guns,
broom-handles and gardenrhoes, and aß
sail tife arsenal at Harper’s Ferry.
Several of his men, including some of his
own sons, were killed, and the rest with
himself were taken, tried, condemned and
hung, near Alexandria, Va., for treason
against the Constitution of the United
States of America. The day before his
execution, his wife, whom he had not seen
for two years, brought several ohecks or
orders that by having his signature to them
the might at any time draw the reward of
his long blood letting*in Kansas.
It was a common saying amongst his
Greeley friends, and even to this day, that
she same murdering John Brown died a
martyr to his oountry, whilst they well
know that he and all his band of traitors,
as well as all the innocent lives destroyed
by them in Kansas, were only victims to
the infernal design of their ladyships in
London. And on the day of Brown’s
execution, that Bame Hi race Greeley re
greted that he had only given Brown
twenty dollars for all his toils and mur
ders, and let it be remembered that Mr.
Greeley had just been a few days home
after his visit to London, in behalf of the
same John Brown.
The tragedy of John Brown, together
with the spirit of some acts known by the
name of Personal Liberty Bills which were
enaoted in several of the Northern States,
where an Abolition majority ruled, as well
as the praotice of kidnapping, and the bit
terness. with whioh inflammatory speeches
were delivered in the Halls of Congresß
against the institution of slavery, opened
the eyes of Southern men to a sense of
duty; confirming their opinion that what
the Northern people had heretofore said
or done was not done in jest. They be
lieved, and reoent acts of Congress goes
far to justify that belief, that the Northern
people were soon coming down South to
burn, butcher and rob the oountry. A
sectional President was to be the passport
to Southern Independence, and, as self
proteotion is nature’s first law, resistance
to what they considered an infringement on
Southern Constitutional rights waß indis
pensable. Meanwhile England was still
careful to keep always a debate going on
in Congress for the suppression of the
slave trade, or the right of search; and
by her whim and quibble each section of
- the Union believed her to be their friends,
although, in England’s unguarded mo
ments the teeth of the lion oould be seen
glistening through the expression of Lord
Aberdeen. When speaking about Central
Amerioa a short time sinoe he said that
America was getting large and spreading
too far, and by next return exchanges the
French press responded in the affirmative
and said that it ought to be looked to.—
Meanwhile the. North and South watohed
each other with an eye of jealousy, eaoh
thinking that if things should oome to the
worst, England would be their friend for
certain. The North on aocount of her
anti-slavery principle; the South relying
on England’s free trade spirit and her de
pendence on the South for cotton.
Mr. Linooln, when fishing for the reins
of power, had given vent to expressionspre
judioial to Southern constitutional rights,
showing his willingness to abolish the in
stitution of slavery in that quarter, whioh
so exasperated the people of the South that
when he beoame’President of the United
States, they determined to sever their
State ties of nnaminity and hold no more
fellowship with those of the North, which
they considered to be their most deadly
enemies. Southern wrath was fomented
to a boiling point; several of the Southern
States were deolared free and independent
of the North; whilst a member of that
Convention stood up and thanked God that
they had that day completed the work of
forty years ; thereby proving that Cob
bett’s plan was in operation at the very
moment that he divulged it to Mr. Bush
in 1824. In South Carolina the war ory
went forth, .and about the 18th of April,
1861, the first aot of resistance to the au
thority, of the United States was perform
ed by the rebellious party taking forcible
possession of Fort Sumpter. Sinoe that
day two armies; haye : been raised, each
numbering nearly a million of men, and at
this moment confront eaoh other—fathers
plunging the dagger into the necks of their
sons, and_ sons into the bosoms of their
brothers. Every State in the Union has
become a Potter’s field; every river in the
land runs red, and every sunny spot’
smokes with the blood of the bravest of the
braye from every dime under Heaven, as
well as'with that of America’s noblest
sons. • And all for thegratification of
despodo znonarohy through the glorious
triumph of the Queen’s Maids in London,
and their Greeley dopes inAmerioa, under
the pretext of the bodily protection and
better religious training of the oolored
population in the United States of America.-
And now that England has taken some
kind of a neutral position, much to the
disappointment of both North and South, ■
it is somewhat diverting to read the taunts
and gibes of the London press .on the two
American belligerents, paper blockades,
&o. Whilst Lotd Palmerston, with the
sagacity of the snake which is natural to
him, chuckles over what seems to be our .
bitterest misfortune, and from his lounge
jon the-woolsack responding to the many
petitioners who are urging England’s in-
tells them in tones of his usual
gravity that it is too soon for England to
interfere in Amerioan matters—signifying
that a little time will weaken both North
and South and make them more suitable
for England’s purpose, thatCobbett’s pre
diction may be the more easily fulfilled;
for he no doubt, thinks it will be with us
as it was with tee two'Kilkenny oats, that
fought till there was nothing left but the
two tails, and then the two tails fought
till Pat Murphy’s dog oame in and run off
with them. But Mr. Palmerston may rest
assured that England or himself will never
Bee the day that the North or South, or
either one of them, will be an easy prey
to the invader. But if in our misfortune
it should be the will of Divine Providence
that the restoration of our Union as it was
he rendered impossible, and the proud
genius of Amerioa be shorn of her jewels,
she will dress herself in the latest style of
mourning, whioh was typven in the High
land man’s parlor at London, and made
by the Greeley dress-makers in Congress
in 1861, and fly from the dome of the
Capitol, to the top of the Monument of the
great Washington, there to take the last
fond look at her once happy home and gar
den of the world. And, alas ! what a mel
anoholy pioture appears to her despairing
eye. She sees a number of men dressed
in blaok with long faoes, each with his
hand on his pocket, looking behind him in
dread knowing that his deeds were evil.
She seos an empty treasury and a' moun
tain of debt at its door. She sees desola
tion on every side, depopulated cities and
deserted villages, and as far as the eye can
reaoh there is nothing but one vast
expanse of death-stricken devastation.—
And the few who may have escaped the
ravages of the great conflict, trembling
atd tottering under a load of taxation ;
and the air will yet be reechoing the
groans of the . departed millions on the
battle field, mingling with the wailings of
one hundred thousand widows and soreams
of five hundred thousand orphans, orying
for bread and none to give them, and not
a man to be seen in the land younger than
sixty years of age with the exception of
invalids strolling about, some without legs,
others without arms, hungry and helpless,
without a shelter or a‘ shilling. She will
hear the prayers and groans of destitute
and suffering thousands offered up to
Heaven, imploring vengeanoe on the
heads of the guilty ones. And the voice
of the great body of the Amerioan survi
vors, raising like a thunder storm after
being betrayed to their ruin, crying woe bo
to the knaves into whose hands we intrus-
ted our country’s keeping. She will sde
the old Stars and Stripes contemptibly de
rided the whole world over. And the
name of the American republio will have
beooffle a phrase of derisive scorn to the
remotest corners of the globe. And look
ing to the South she will hear the rejoioing
of the people clinging round Jefferson
Davis, orying well done good and faithful,
servant, you have been faithful over a few
things we will make you ruler over many,
you henceforward shall be oalled the
saviour of our country. And again turn
ing to the North she will tell them Bhe
has just heard the people of the South pour
ing their congratulations on the head of their
deliverer, Jefferßon Davis, for his unflinching
integrity throughout their afflictions. And
addressing herself to the partizans of the
North she will ask them in an nnmistakeable
tone who amongst you thinks himself best en
titled to bear the weight of the atrociouß
crime of destroying my onoe happy country.
The blood of your Fathers can no more be
boasted of. Democracy 1 Why did you not
oome to my resoue in all the' majesty and
greatness of a free people ? Republicans I
Why did you mingle with bad company and
foreign influence contrary to the warnings of
the great Washington ? And turning with a
frown to the guilty ones, and as the hangman
would adjust the rope on the neck of his cul
prit, she will hang like a millstone that bag
of iniquitous abomination, infamy, disgrace
and eternal degradation around the neck of
abolitionism, as a keepsake and a just reward
for his many years of labor, hoping that in
future that relio the weight of her crime, may
keep him in eternal remembrance of Amalga
mation, bleeding Kansas,’Negro emancipa
tion, confiscation and no compromise.
She will then deliver the wreok of her
country into the hands of futurity and drop
the last tear on the top of that mememorable
pedestal, bid adieu to all happiness, and de
scend into the deepest and darkest cell of
oblivion, and there hide herself in shame from
the 1 contemptible gaze of a onee admiring
world, and to avoid the hypocritical and sar
castic sneers of the Queen's maids in waiting.
These, sirs, are the true and undeniable
oauses of all our troubles, impartially collected
from the passing events of forty years, by your
most sincere friend who always rejoiced at.the
prospeaity, but now weeps for the fast ap
proaching destruction of his adopted country.

THE HORSE POWER
has proved' itself to be the best ever Invented. The friction
is rednced..by IRON BALLS, so arranged in all the bear

them. THREE POUNDS DRAUGHT, at the end of a ten
feet lever, will keep the power in motion! thus permitting
the entire strength of the horses to be used on the

this power as two on tb e endless Chain Power. It Is port
