Peterson, we, notice one by Mrs. E. D. E. N.

. !ustly celebrated writings.
What do they Mean ?
From all parts of the Union—in the North
as well as in the South—we hear the ques
tion risked" What are the designs' of the
fanatical an I unprincipled leaders of the
Black 'Republican party t" . To which they
answer—" we propose to undo that, which
Washington, Jefferson; -Jackson and Monroe
and others ; have done . ; , we propose to dis
countenance their act, and tear in pieces this
art 4 build up a government of our
own." They would rend asunder this:beauti
ful fabric—they would tear down our glori
ous stars and stripes—they would check the
the Eagle's soariugs, and rear upon 'our us-
I times ruins a government founded mien their
own anti-Republican ideas . . They prof* a
greater interestin the.welfare of the tuggers
than they do for the white man; therefore
they say, , this government must bend the knee
to the blacks and "do them homage—the
whites must lecociate with them—ll:my must
seek their society—they must say no longer
to them, "
.servants." but " brothers," or " re
opected sirs." We are willing to admit that
slavery is an evil- z -but we are not to account
(or it. We have had nothing to do in estsb
li rhing . slavery, therefor] we cannot be held
accountable for its existance. Those wine - own
slaves, not us, must pay the penalty, if any
there be. (?)e No one this side of Mason and
Dixon's line, unkas they are concerned in the
Slave :trade. need have any; fears ; they
need not hold themselves accountable for the
acts of itlsose who live South of that line, for
they are hi no wise concerned. But we are
told that even England denounces 'southern
institutions. She must skim with a very bad
grace indeed, when it was by her agency that
the curse was entailed upon this government.
Had it not been for the English Colonisation
Societies, who brought their slaves withthem
here, this land would be free. from, the curse
to day. Therefore We say it is with a very
poor grace that she censures the South now .
when in connection with this, she owns as

Cholc4irEtracts from Fremont Or
ators.
We have before us the speeches of several
Fremont or4ors on the 4th of July last at
Celebration in Boston. We CaII the atten
tion of every man woman and; child to them
as developing the real objects lof these *north

your countr', and then let your patriotism
direct you It will be seen that these men
have groWn proetaitnlthe true issue.
Here is an ektractlfrom Wm. Loyd Garrison's
speech :
To me the path is plain. To-day I disown
the America's& flay as the synibol a/ unprai
cited ltypoerigy and trancendont oppression,
and casting :.41 into the brvadi Atlantic, defy
all the water.: thereof to wash; out its bloody '
stains. TO.dny renew My acen=ations
.against the American Conititution, that it is
"a covenant with death and an agreement
with hell," which. ought to be annulled now
and forever.; To•day I pronounce the Amer
ican Union 4 league of despotism, to perpetu
ate *MO 'ist a creme against our common
manity midi, a sin against God. - To-day I
I affirm the •higher
,law' to be the paramount
law of the 14nd, to the subesrion of every
statute, agreement and compromiee inimical
to human f4eedom. To-day X stand outside
of this tyrannical government, a seceder on
principle, a Revolutionist with Hancock, and
Wit and Warren, but upon ' IA broader plat
form, with # loftier spirit, with better weap-,
ores, and feti a nobler contest.
