TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25, 1863
STATE RIOTS AND S ATE REIAEDIES—No. 0.
To his Excellency A. .G. Curtin, Governor of
Pennsylvania :
RESPECTED Sin : In my last I stated that I
would notice the New England States, and do
so now, for the purpose of calling your atten
tion to their patriotism and self-righteousness,
and love for the union of the States. And
before I refer to the records of past history I
will introduce a few extracts front the speech
of tiV,. W. Wick, of Indiana, in Congress, on
the 25th of April, 1848, which have more
truth than poetry in them. lie says:
"New England and Old England instituted
slaverljc in the Colonies before the Revolution.
While New England could take rum and guns
and gunpowder to Africa and barter them for
negroes; take the negroes to the Southern
Colonies and barter them for cotton, sugar,
indigo and rice; take the cotton; sugar, indigo
and rice to England and barter them for manu
factures, and bring the manufactures home
and sell them—making four profits gp the
capital invested, to wit : one profit a the
rum, guns and gunpowder, another on the
negroes, another on the cot ton,! sugar, indigo
and rice, and a fourth on the manufactures,
New England not only did not allege aught
against slaveholding, but she justified and
maintained man-stealing—she moreover en
gaged in the Belling of rum to poison poor
Africans, and maintained, by the sale of guns
and gunpowder, the bloody and desolating wars
in Africa which brought victims to your slave
marts. These things, sons of the Pilgrims,
your fathers did. The thing worked in a cir
cle. The rum turned the Afrimin chief into
a demon ; to obtain more of titiaccureed fire,
he would sell his own people, or make war on
a neigboring tribe, to bring them to the slave
ships of your fathers. The slaves brought
high prices in the' South, where the climate
and soil made their labor more prefuable than
in New England. TherefOre, and not because
they thought slavery an evil which they wished
to keep far from them, they sold the negroes
in the South. The South had no ships, your
fathers had them, and therefore they received
in exchange for the negroes the products of
the South, and carried them abroad to ex
change for manufactures to be sold at home.
* * * I stand here, sustained by all
history, and say our fathers were man-stealers.
Some of them did not personally participate,
but they stood by and said never a word for
poor Africa. An advocate of the doctrine of
national sins among you ought to go into sack
cloth and ashes, on account of this iniquity of
our fathers. When by the importations, and
by sending off her own household slaves to be
sold at the South, the market was fully sup
plied, so that the ordinary increase of popula
tion would forever keep the South full of slaves,
and no more money could be made out of trade,
New England began to grow moral. In the pro
tei*ettiine, the slave trade was forbidden by
common consent of the South and thit North.
Now, if New England would go to the Southern
slaveholders and say 'Our fathers stole men,
women, and children in Africa, brought them
to this country, and sold them to your fathers;
in those dark days this was deemed to be right,
but now God requires all men everywhere to
repent. We are constraind to admit that our
fathers were piratical thieves, and that your
fathers were no better, for they were receivers.
We must do right let what will come of it. The
full price which your fathers paid to our
fathers for the negroes - has built up our cities
and factories, and sent our sails to be filled by
every breeze of heaven.' * * * New En
gland forgets all the past. She forgets even
so much of the present as does not sustain her
position. She forgets that the present genera
tion of slaveholders are neither thieves nor
receivers, that slavery descended to them, and
is fixed upon them by laws and circumstances
prohibiting their sudden repeal. * * * I
reverence New England, especially . New Hamp
shire and Maine, ans. The blood of her Bar
bera Mid Watson is in my veins."
Do you not think, sir, that this is a fair
character of New England at the present time ?
I feel satisfied you will before I am done.
By the ninth section of article first of the
Constitution of the United States, it declares :
" The migration or importation of such per
sona, as any of the States now existing shall
think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited
by Congress, prior to the year one thousand
eight hundred and eight; but a tax or duty
may be imposed on such importations, not ex
ceeding ten dollars for each person."
Luther Martin in his celebrated report to the
Legislature of Maryland, says
" The design of this clause is to prevent the
General Government from prohibiting the im
portation of slaves,
lac. A committee of one'
member from each State was chosen by ballot,
to take this part of the system under their con
sideration, and to endeavor to agree upon some
report. * * * Te this committee
also was referred the following proposition,
which had been. reported by the committee of
'detail, to 'let INo namgation act shall be
passed without the assent of two-thirds of the
members present in each house.' A proposi
tion which the staple and commercial States
were solicitous to retain, lest the commerce
&milli be placed too much under the power of
the Eastern States, but which these last States
were as anxious to reject. This committee, of
which also I have the honor to be a member,
met and took under their consideration the
subjects committed to them. I fotuld the East
ern States, notwithstanding their aversion to
slavery, were very willing to indulge the south
ern States, at least with a temporary liberty to
prosecute the slave trade, provided the South
ern States would, in their turn, gratify them by
laying no restrictions on navigation acts; and
after a very little time, the committee, by a
great majority, agreed on a report by which
the General Government was prohibited from
preventing the importation of slaves for a limited
time, and the restrictive clause relative to navi
gation acts was to be omitted. This report was
adopted by a majority of the convention, but
not without considerable opposition."
Does this not prove that the Eastern folks .
are " sharp on a bargain ;" and that dollars
and cents with them is a governing principle ?
By this bargain they secured their interest in
the " slave trade," and, having no restriction
on navigation acts, could fling to the breeze
their bunting flags with "Free trade and Sai
lors Rights." That their love of country and
the Union of those States was of the same char
acter, will be seen as we proceed. In order,
sir, that our numerous readers may have some
light upon this qu estion, it will be necessary
to refer to historical facts. They should re

to the Presidency, he found the wars produced
by the French revolution still continued to
agitate and convulse the whole of Europe. By
the genious et one lien, and for the preserva
tion of his own dominions, the kings of the
earth, on the one hand, were repelled from the
soil of France ; on the other, the navy of Eng
land traversed the ocean unrestrained, and rode
triumphant on every sea. In the hostility of
these two belligerents, the rights of neutrals
.were but little respected; there were but few
ships found on the ocean except those of the
United States and Great Britain. England,
after the peace of 1783, claimed the right to
search, seize and impress icier subjects; even on
board of neutral vessels, while traversing the
ocean. In the exercise of this pretended right,
citizens of the United States, sometimes by
mistake and sometimes by design, were seized,
dragged from their friends, transported to dis
tant parts of the world, compelled to perform
the degrading duty of British sailors, and to
fight with nations at peace with their own.
Against this outrage upon personal liberty and
the rights of Amvican citizens, the Govern
ment of the United States remonstrated in vain.
The abuse continued, and every year added to
its enormity, until a feeling of resentment was
aroused throughout the Union of these States.
The carrying trade afforded a harvest 'too rich
and too tempting to British cupidity to be long
enjoyed-unmolested. American ships carrying
to Europe the produce of French colonies, were,
in. an early stage of the war, captured by
British cruisers, and condemned by their courts
as lawful prizes. Several European ports, un
der the control of Fralap, were declared by
British orders, in council, to be in a state of
blockade, 4though not invested with a British
fleet, and American vessels attempting to enter
those ports 4, '7ere all captured and condemned.
By a:decre,o issued at Berlin, the French Em
peror flealpred the British islands in a state 9f
blockade, and authorized the capture of all
neutral vessels attempting to trade with those
islands. From these measures of both nations
the commerce of the United States suffered se
verely, and their merchants loudly demanded
redress and protection. Bonaparte declared hie
purpose of enforcing with vigor the Berlin de - -
cree, and the British government solemnly as
serted the right of search and impressment.
Mr. Jefferson recommended to Congress that
the seamen, ships, and merchandise, should be
detained in port to preserve them from the dan
gers which threatened them on the ocean: Con
gress, on this recommendation, did pass a law
laying an embargo for that purpose. This en
actment at the time was received with clamor
and discontent by the Eastern States, and made
the pretext by them to dissolve the Union and
form a union with Canada, under the pretec
tion of ;the British crowin.
Now for the evidence. The fret is an ex
tract of a letter from Williath Plainer, litho had
been a Senator of the United States, and after
wards Governor of New Hampshire, dated
"EPPIINO, N. H., Dec; 20, 1828.
"During the long and eventful session of
Congress of 1808 and 1804, I was - a member of
the Senate, and was at the city of Washington
every day of that session. In the course of
that session, at different times and places, sev
eral of the Federalists, Senators and Repro
sentatiVes, from the New England States,
informed me that they thought it neces
sary to establish a separate government in
New England, and, if it should be found
practicable, to extend it so far as to include
Pennsylvania—but, at all events, to establish
one in New England. They complained that
the slave - holding States had acquired, by
means of their slaves, a greater increase of
Representatives in the House than was just
and equal, a * * and that the acquit&
Lion of Louisiana and the new States that were
formed, and soon to be formed in the West and
in ceded territory, would soon annihilate the
weight and influence of the Northern States in
the go - Ten/meat. That, having secured the
election of a Governor and a majority of the
Legislature in a State in favor of separation,
the Legislature should repeal the law autho
rizing the people to elect Representatives to
Congress—to decline sleeting:Senators to Con
gress, and gradually withdraw the State from
the Union."
Next, from " Austin's Life of Gerry :"
" Extract of a letter from a distinguished citi
zen of the United states, dated St. Petersburg,
June 30, Mt
"The Massachusetts Federal politicians have
got to talk so openly and with such seeming
indifference, not to say readiness, for a disso
lution of the Union; they are so valiant in their
threats of resistance to the laws, * * that,
in the prospects of a war with America, whioh
most of the British statesmen now at the helm
consider as in the line of wise policy, they
and all their partisans, calculate boldly, and
without disguise or concealment, upon the co
operation of the Massachusetts Federalists."
Now, sir, I introduce another witness, and
no lees a personage than the elder John Adams,
advancing in years, although wrong in his po
litical views on the science of government,
knew the intention of the leaders of the Fede
ral party at the time we are speaking of, and
disapproved of their acts, as we have a right
to judge from his letter, dated "Quincy, March
20, 1809," to his confidential friend, Wm. Cun
ningham, Jr., from which the following is ex
tracted, viz :
"But the British faction was determined to.
have a war with Frarice, and Alexander Ham
ilton at the head of the army. • * * * A
'war with France, an alliance with England, and
Alexander Hamilton, the father of their speou
lhitive system, at the head of our army and the
s> rate, were their bobby - horse, their vision of
soveVeign felicity."—Sec Canningham's Corms- ,
pondence, page 107. "
The nest I introduce to your notice is John
Q. Adams, late President of the United States,
relative to the design. of the New England
States to dissolve the Union and establish a
auparate confederacy, and you will find it at
large published in the Zrational Atelligencer of
the 25th of October, 1828, from which "state
ment" I make a few extracts :
" In November 1808, Mr. Adams was a pri
vate' citizen, residing in Boston. The embargo
was still in for* ; operating with pressure
upon the interests of 'the people, and wielded
by the party prevailing in the State, against
the administration of Mr. Jefferson. Vie peo-

violators of it. * * * A separation of the
Union was opettly allude:Led in the public
prints, and a convention of delegates of the
New England States, to meet at New Haven,
was intended and proposed. Mr. Giles, and
several other members of Gengress during this
session, wrote to Metal:as confidential let

proposed as substitutes for the Embargo, and
soliciting his opinioni upon the

confidence. He earnestly recommended the

bargo, and in giving his reasons for . this pre
ference, was necessarily led to enlarge upon
the views and purposes of certain leaders of
the party which had the management of the
Legislature in their hands. lie urged that a
continuance of the Embargo would certainly
be met by forcible resistance. * * That to
quell that resistance, if force should be resorted
to by the Government, it would produce civil
war, and that in that event he had no doubt
the leaders of the partY , would enure. the cc.
operation with them of Great Britain. That
their object was and had been for several years,
a dissolation of the Union, and the establishment
of a seperate confederation, he knew from un
equivocal evidence, although not provable in a
oourt of laW, and that., in case of a civil war,
the aid of Great Britain would be as surely
resorted to as it would be indispensably neces
sary to the design."
Again, in Mr. Adams' letter in defence- of
this statement, he says :
" That project, I repeat, had gone to the
length of fixing upon a military leader for its
execution; and although the circumstances of
the times never admitted of its execution, nor
even of its full development, I have yet no
doubt, in 1808 and 1809, and have no doubt ht
this time, that it is the key to all the great move
' ments of those leaders of the Federal party in
New England, from that time forward, till its
final catastrophe in the Hartford Convention.
Gentlemen, I observe among the signers of
your letter the names of two members of that
convention, together with that of the son of
its president. You will not undeistand me as
affirming that either of you was privy to this
plan of military execution. in 1804. That may
be known to yourselves and not to me."
The next witness to be introduced will be
Join Henry, the British emissary.
MAKING CONGIMISSIONAL MAJORITIES.—The
radicals long since ceased even to pretend any
respeCt for the judicial branch of our govern
ment. They are rapidly throwing off all re
spect for the legislative branch, and it will not
probably be long before they openly declare
,that the executive alone ought to make the
laws Which the executive alone, in their view.,
is authorized to interpret.
The fvliewing paragraphArrese tbilif4e
points clearly and ominouslY,mthis cif ten .
It refers to-a district of &tat* glinois, and
to a Democratic member of Congress:
"One member of Congress for this district
is in
,a bad box. Williamson county has had
many deserters, and much difficulty has ex
isted in arresting them, owing to the c'euree
pursued by the business men at the county
seat, Marion, where Josh. Allen, our M. C.,
resides. To expedite matters, the town has
been placed under martial law. The other
day Mr. Allen wanted to ride out of town, but
could only go by taking the oath of allegiance.
This he refused to do. The probability is that
the town will be occupied by the military for
a long time, perhaps till afrer Congrek sits,
and our member -will not be able to attend.
Nothing is more manifest than that such a
member should not, under these circumstances,
be permitted to sit in this body."
A member of Congress who objects to being
compelled to submit to the aerjemony of taking
an oath of allegiance whenever a petty provost
marshal may choose to think that De imposi- '
Lion will " expedite matters" in his business,
no doubt, ought not to be permitted to sit in a
body which is evidently expected to content
itself hereafter with ragletermg the decrees of
an irresponsible autocracy.
A threatened majority of six or seven votes
against the administration in the next Rouse
of Representatives, of course, warns the radi
cals that the power of conservative principles
has increased, is increasing, and ought to be
diminished ! If half a-dozen provost marshals
can prevent the attendance in their places of
as many members of Congress, -the execution
the radical programme will be materially facili
tated.— World.
A STRONG CHARGE.—Judge Maynard, of
Pennsylvania, in his charge to the grand jury
of Lehigh, at the opening of the August term
of the court, held the following language :
"Freedom of thought, freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, and freedom of action
within the limits of the law, and Constitutional
liberty, are among the most sacred and dearest
rights of freemen. These are the birthright of
our people, and cannot be wrested from them
until the Constitution is abolished and the laws
establishing the Judiciary are repealed. •
"It is the duty of the Judiciary to see that
the rights of the people are held seohre from
the encroachments of power. The rights and
liberties of the people find their surest protec
tion in the hands of an upright Judiciary, who
stand in the fear of God, and superior to all
other fear. If unconstitutional laws are en
acted, they can be rendered harmless by the
prompt action of the proper court, when
brought before them.
"Difference of opinion will necessarily exist
in reference to political questions, and free
discussion should not only be tolerated, but en
couraged, andegood nature should always pre
side over such discussions, remembering that
all these political differences can be settled at:
the b allot
e box ; that is the sovereign arbiter
with us. It is an unerring tribunal, and should
be held as the most sacred of our political
rights,at once incorruptible and inviolate. The
liberties of the people cannot be lost while the
ballot box remains free. If there is any point
where forbearance would cease to be a virtue,
it will be at that point when any party in power
shall attempt to interfere with the freedom of
the elective franchise ; but let us trust that the
forbearance of freemen under this government
will not be .ut to that fearful teat."
Coot WATER —The following simple method,
it is said, will keep water almost as cold twice:
Let the jar, pitcher or vessel used for water, be
surrounded with one or more folds of coarse
cotton, to be constantly wet. The evaporation
of the water will carry off the heat from the in
side and reduce it to a freezing point. In In
dia and other tropical climes, where ice can
not be procured, this is common. Let every
mechanic sod laborer have at his place of em
ployment two pitchers thus previded, and with
lids or covers, one to main fresh water for
drinking, the other for evaporation, and he can
always eet
h haveA a supply
of cold water in warm
er
Any person can attest this by dip
pingw a finger in water, and holding it in the
air on a Warm -day. After doing this three or
four times he will find hie finger uncomfortably
cold.
