JXj In our issue week, before last, we
copied an article from tho Monroe Demo
crat in reference to the character of Help
er, the author of the book entitled " Im
pending Crisis," whom he denounces as a
base "hypocrite" entirely void of "eincer
ity," because he at one time apparently
recommended slavery, and now takes
strong grourrds against it. Now all our
reader are well . aware that the Monroe
Democrat talked both ways on tho Lo
compton Constitution, which instrument
be boldly denounced as the most despotic
and undemocratic measures over con
cocted by a free people, but soon after,
very cowardly, when he saw the flashings
which admonished him of coming Admin
istration thunder, the Squire, to save his
share of tho public plunder, turned di
rcctly around and told the public that all
he had said agaiust the Administration
was all bosh, aud that the Lccompton
Democracy was genuine. It certainly is
not remarkuble that the Squiro should
oill Helper a " wool-dyed hypocrite un
worthy of confldeuce;" for none knows
seller than himself that the Squire, in his
change of opinon, played the part of a
wool-dyed, or cotton-dyed, or more ap
propriately, Post-ofEco-dyed hypocrite, and
to judge Helper by himself was but natu
ral. But from tho subjoined letter from
Mr Helper it appears that he never re
commended slavery except in a very mod
ified degree, and consequently there is no
change on his part. Squire, you call this
book iu question a "rebellious volume.1
We challenge you to point out a tin
gle seutence tbat is rebellious, you
should know better than to believe what
your Diunion party tell you without ex

owinr to the coutiuued unorganized con

base withdrawn from there, for publioa

asserted tbat, in a small volume entitled
"The Land of Gold," which I published
in Baltimore, in 18f5, soon after my re

Incidentally in the manuscript of the lit

took strong ground against the contin
uauce of Slavery in Southern cities, argu
ing that, as a means of success, cither

where the bod influences resulting in di
ver ways from their weak minds and mor
als, might, in great measures, be curtail
ed. So deep and exciting were the im-pre-sious
made upon me by an examina
tion of what I had seen iu the North com
pared with what I had seen in the South
so universal, irresistible, and overwhel
ming where the evidences of the superior
ity of Freedom over Slavery that, when
writing my ' Laud of Gold,'' I could not,
in justice to iv.y feelings, refrain from say
ing something oo the subject. I did say
something mut-h more, in fact, than was
ever nut in print. but still 1 was not
yet wholly emancipated from my original
Pro-Slavery errors and prejudice, for, as
will readily be seen from what I have al
ready elated in subetance, while I conten
ded that Slavery should at once and for
ever cease to cxit in all the incorporated
cities and towns of the South, I was, nev
ertheless, willing that it should, for the
time at least, hold an unlimited lease of
life in the rural districts. To be entirely
candid, however, I felt well assured that,
from the time of the granting of such
lea-e, the tenure by which it would be
held would grow weaker and wesker, un
til, iu tho coure of a few brief years, it
would lo-e all force and value, aud Anal

The little book ("The Land of Gold")
which I had written, chiefly on California,
was issued to the public through the pa
rent office of the Southern Quarterly Re
view', which, at the particular time allu
ded to, was located in Baltimore. My
publisher there was a strong Pro Slavery
Southerner, from Charlestown, Va , who
after commencing operations according ,to
contract like some other publishers of
whom I have heard, if not seen, having
as keen an eye to profit as to principle
examined more carefully the views which
I had expressed against slavery in the cit:

dol Articles of agreement had been
signed, and I bad already paid into the
hands of the publisher four hundred and
odd dollars. Paper had been purchased
and prepared for the press; the priuters,

and I had read the proof of several pages,
Finding that, under all the circumstance-,
I would have to submit to be govern

the slaveholder's law, I at once, with a
duo degree of disgust, relinguis.hed all
control of the manuscript, and told tny
publisher to do with it as ho pleased.
Complacently availing himself of the per
fect liberty which my reluctant but una
voidable withdrawal from my rights in
this case gave him, he discarded all that
I had said against Slavery in the cities,
but retained tho greater part of what I
had written in recognition of Slavery in
the country. This arbitrary action on

security and aggrandizement of Slavery
This coviction on my part led me, with
much zeal and promptitude, to the prepa
ration and publication of my 'Impending
Crisis of the South," a work which I am
proud to say, looks to the perpetuation of
Slavery in neither city nor country, and a

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Manners of the Oligarchy.
Washington, Jan. li), lfeGO.
Our friends in the House of Represen
tatives deserve great credit, greater cveu
than has beeu accorded to them, for the
equanimity with which they maiutain si
lence under the most tantilizing provoca
tions to plunge into the general debate,
and for the persistency with which tbej
bend all their energies to the election ol
a Speaker, despite the turbulence of open
enemies and the treachery of tho?c whom
they had a riht to rely upon
aa ailic.
A reader of tho daily proceedings of vile
House, as reported by the telegraph, can
have but feeblo conceptions of tho rude
uess, tho indecency, the asperity of the
attacks which the Southeru overseers and
their Northern hirelings are constantly
making upou tho Republicans -as a party,
upon prominent men in their ranks, and
especially upon their candidate for Speak
er. To say that they outrage all Parlia
mentary rules, and fiud neither precedent
nor parallel iu the auuala of even the A
mericau Cougress, is a tame statement ot
the fact. Ibese attacks have their keen
est sting not so much in the words utter
ed, though these are bitter and irritating
to the last desreo of human endurance;
nor in the falsity of the charges, person
al and political, which iguorance, inalig
nitv. and mendacity send nissing across
the Hall, like poUoned arrows; but it is
in the lofty toue, the domineeriuz gesture.
the air of command, and tho plantation
manners cenerally, which the Overseers
naturally exhibit, and their hirelings fee
bly copy, toward tho R-pubncans, that
renders the struggle for tho Speakership
a protracted martvrdom. Even the iron
nerved John Brown, on being asked if he
were tired during the quarter of an hour
he stodd on the drop, with the cap drawn
down, while Virginia chivalry marched
aud countemarehed around the gallows
it VT T
even ne could out reply, "ino, i am
not "tired, but don't keep mo standing
here longer than "is absolutely necessa
ry!'' The personal attacks upon Mr. bher-
mau are outlines ungenttemaniy in me
extreme. 1 he loBg sKinuy linger ot rry
or has been tbrust almost in his face; the
clumsy first of Houston has been shaken
at him, from a safe distance; he has been
compelled to endure the buffoonery of
Extra-Billy Smith, the cutting sneers of
inferiors like Missouri Clark, and the
wanton aspersions of equals, like Goorgia
Crawford, together with almost every
grade of abuse, from the high and the low,
within and without the House, he all t hi
time forced (uxcept on rare occasions)
by the delicacy of his position, to sit with
losed lips, though fully conscious of his
ability to repel triumphantly every person
al and political charge hurled against him,
and make successful forays into the camp
of his enemies. The fact that this spe
cies of attadli upon him, made under these
circumstances, demonstrates the. vulgari
ty and cowardice of the assailants, does
not reuder it the more agreeable to him
However, Mr. Shorma'n s inherent ealm-
uess and self-possession are equal to the
trial. Ho will endure even unto the end.
Scarcely less provoking are the assaults
upon other prominent Republicans in the
House, in which the overseers and their
hirelings are wont daily and hourly to in
dulge. Among the commonest of charges
cast in the teeth of members of tho party,
aud sgaiuit tbo partv as n whole, is that
tbey are factious aud disorganizing; that
tbey aim to emancipate the slaves by
force; that tbey are lomentina: insurrec
tion and eival war; that they are banded
with traitors and out-throats aud incen
diaries; that tbey refuse to obey the laws,
would overturn the Supremo Court, and
drag the country into the gulf of disunion.
Nor are these counts in tUc indictment of
the Overseers listened to by the Republi
cans with any more patience because du
ty seems to demand that they should not
yet plead to them, though conscious all
the time that, not the facts only, but the
real debating power, the learning, the el
oquence of the assembly are on their side;
and, once iu tho foreBnio field, they could
drive their assailants in disgrace from
tho forum. But they tide their titac-r-
Whfn the attack, does' come' frooY the Re
publican wing of the Chamber, the on-et
will only be tho more vigorous aud effeo
live for the long and irritating delay.
'Perhaps the most contemptiblo of all
these belligerent exhibitions is the at
tempt of the hirelings of the Negro Prop
agandists to play a mosk part in this
drama of disorganization, iosult and ter
ror. For slaveholders to put on airs to
ward Northern men is natural. They are
used to it, as were their fathers before
them. Lofty pretentions, affected supe
riority, aud-au indescribable sort of Oli
garchical mien, become them. So long
have they practiced on fahe pretenses,
lived ou sheet assumptions, that they sit
with no little grace upon them. We oc
casionally admire their pretensions. We
are always amused otthem. We almost
tolerate them. We at all events expect
them, and are therefore prepared for
them. But when the serf try to put on
the airs of tho master, when the underling
opes tho mien of the superior, and as
sumes to dictate to bis betters, then the
snobbery of these scullions; this "Ligh
life below, stairs,'' becomes disgusting and
insufferable, For example: when Virgin
ia Pryor told Kcy-stoue Hiskman, the
other day, that what be had uttered was
"lalse," the expression fell gracefully
from the lips of the young F. F. V. And
we cannot but rebuke his old colloague,
prim Mr. Millson for calling him to or
der. Pray, what has "order" to do with
the existing state of things in tho Hou.-c
of Representatives.? You were riht Ro
jrer A. Pryor! Jnhn Hickman is from a
State that don't own negroes', and hi
forefathers were mere Quakers. Hit him
again, Roger! He is only a plcbian.
Moreover, he is a Democrat who is eim
pie enough to practice what he professes
He is "false" to Negro Democracy, and
you did well to tell him so. But, when
McClernaud of Illinois, a "Douglas Dem
oerat,:' pushed himself into the ring, and
proclaimed that ' the insolence of the
Member from Pennsylvania was unbear
able.'' the thing (we mean MeClernand)
.-hould have been stopped at once. He
in no better than Hickman, owns up ne
groes, and has no right to talk to white
folks in that Virginia sort of way. Nor,
indeed', should tho F. F. V.'s show him
so much respect as they do nickman.
Hickman is a rebel, and a successful re
bel. He has thrown off the collar of the
Negro Dcmoeraoy, and i a man again.
Yirginiaus must respect him a little.
But MeClernand still wears and hugs his
chain. He should be taught to keep his
place at the head of the cofile of serfs.
He had the imprudence, to call Hickman
"an liOOstate from the Democratic party,'
iu?t xiiiit thcoverscers said about Doug-
las McClempna s leaner, occause ne anu
Hickman rcsisfeu the Lecomptou swindle.
Gentlemen Oligarchs! va entreat you, if
oub for tho mere look of tho thing, to let
the Pryors, and tho HoustonS, and the
MeReas, and the other fire caters, ilo the
domineering in the Hou'-e. Don't allow
snobs to touch this part of the program
me. Leave it to gentlemen upon whoe
shoulders plantation manners hang nat
urally and gracefully. Let the Northern
Democrats cease trying to roar.
They can merely bray. The ears of the
Doughface will obtrude through the lion's
skin. Sit down Messrs. MeClernand,
Valland"r'han. and the rest of youl
The present contest is oft compared to
tbat of four years ago, which resulted in
triumph of Mr. Bunks. But, while they
have mauy poiuts in commou, the pend
ing struggle is far more intense, and the
trials of the Republicans far more severe
than then. So shall tho viotory bo the
more glorious!

.Black Logic and White.
To.Gh'arlos O'Couner, esq ,New York.
Slit : Thc meeting held by some color
ed residents of Williamsborgb, to protest
against the doctrines promulgated by you
at ablate Union gathering, does not seem,
upon ca)m reflection, to have possessed
that purely ridiculous character attribu
ted to it by some of the reporters for the
press. The remarks of some df the col
ored speakers ou that occasion, mauger
whatever of the coaieal they may have
bad, contained some telling "points'
which, I am sure, you, Sir, with your keen
sense of tho logical, will be the first to
appreciate. . So potent is Truth, bow
black soever it may be, when opposed to
Error, be its whiteness however immacu
late. The Black man, defending the liberty
of his race, asks you, the White advocate
of its enslavement, if it were possible that
you could be a good Catholic, and pro
claim African Slavery to bo just, wise,
and beneficent, when thrco Popes had
sealed its condemnation with the Ring ol
the Fisherman! A question which, 1
immnginc, even you, Sir, with all your
acknowledged forensic ingenuity, will find
some cifliculty in answering satisfactorily
Popo Gregory XVI., no more remotely
than tho year 1837, promulgated a solemu
Bull, in which, after citing the authority
of tho Bulls issued by Paul III. and Ur
ban VIII., "moat severely castigatiug"
all those who "should -preach or teach that
it Slavery is lawful," he dcorees :
"Wherefore, we, desiring to divert this
disgrace from the whole confines of Chris
tiauity, having summoned several of our
brothers their Eminences the Cardinals of
the holy Roman Church, to our Couueil,
and having maturely deliberated on the
whole matter, pursuing the footstep.-, of
our predecessors, admonish by our apo
tolical authority, and urgeutly invoke in
the Lord, all Christians of whatever con
dition, that none henceforth dare to sub
ject to Slavery, unjustly pesccutc or de
spoil of tbeir goods, Indians, negroes, or
other classes of MEN, or be accessories to
others, or furnish them aid or as-istauce
in so doing; and on no account henceforth
to exercise that inhuman traffic by which
iP-groes are reduced to Slavery, AS 1ITIIEY
WERE NOT MEN, but aulomato or chalUk,
aud are sold in defiance of all the laws of
justice and humanity, and devoted to se
vere and intolerable labor. We further
reprobate, by our apostolical authority,
all the above-described offeuces, as utter
ly unworthy of the Chii-tian name; and
by the same authority we rigidly prohibit
and iuterdict all and every individual,
whether ecclesiastical or laical, from 'pre
suming to defend that commerce iu uegro
slaves, under pretense or borrowed color,
or to teach or publish in any manner,
publicly or privately, things contrary to
tho admonitions which we have given in
these letters'."
The Pope aud the Cardinals solemnly
denounce Slaverj'as unchristian, inhuman
and unjust; you, Mr. O'Conor, their Spir
itual Child, contemning their injunctions,
teach thatSiavcry is eminently just, Chris
tian, and humane. Who is the correct
authority ? The Pope and the Cardi
dals or Mr. Charles 0 Connor I xs the
black man asked : Can you, Mr. O'Con
or, holding the views you do, and teach
ing them as you do, be a sound Catholic!
Or can you be a atbolic at all ? You
have shown some boldness already; will
you be bold enough to meet this issue!
Theblack msu.I understand, also made
another "poiut." He related an interes
ting incident iu your life, an iucident too
which has been much spoken of, even a
mong your political co believers, -inco you
euuuciated your broad doctrine in your
speech at the Academy of Musio. Years
ago, as the ..tory goes, you-, Sir, knelt by
your father's side in a Catholic church in
this city, while Mass wag being celebrated
by a priest who was as blaok as ebony !
Did you then believe, Sir, that the Sacri
fice was ineffectual becauc it was offered
up by that negro !
Did you kneel before tho Bltar a hypo
crite I Aud when the black hand signed
the Cross and blesaed you and all around
you, did you believe the blessing inoper
ative because tho anointed African who
gave it was perverted into a priest from
the true position which tho Almighty (ac
rording to you, Sir,) designed for him;
the Slave of Man instead of the Servant
of God, a thing instead of a being! Do
you now think that the black bonds which
the Church thought pure enough to con
secrate tho Host and to hold what you
Sir, if you rnally be a Catholic, must be
lieve to be tho body of Christ do you
believe, I ask, that those bauds were not
fit to touch the hem of your garment
that their only proper use wa to be the
passive instruments of Man's despotic will!
Will you, Sir, uuot the isue oo this
poiut, also? I have only developed the
colored mau's argument; will you refuse
to acknoAlcdge that, negro logic is not to
black as it is painted.
