T. STEWAET. De.vr Sir— You arc known in this city as a merchant of intoirrity and great Avealth. The writer regrets that he never had the pleasure of Bpeaking to you, and can not claim your acquaintance. The letter which wo here print is our apology for addressing to you and the conservative party a few pages of the GrruE to New Tokk City. New Yor.k, Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1353. Mr deah Me. Vest— I'have great pleasure to con- tribut*? to the restoration of the College of William aud Mary the inclosed check tir $500. My desire is that this should be applied to the purchase of books in the ftncient lauguages, to fill one of the alcoves in the library. May I hope thut the new institution will arise from itsasheg, phoenix like, still more EpleudiJ, and that It will never omit the opportunity to instill into the youthful mind of its students, that the Union of these United States must be preserved in all time to come. Sincerely your friend, Albx. T. Btewart. W. W. Vest, Esq. In this article we shall give the names of numerous merchants, many of whom have occupied places of trust, and nearly all are men of property. "Why is there so wide a diftlronee between the conservative party — your party— and the republican party ? This is the question we propose to <. discuss. Bolieving as we do, that your * influence will be most salutary, we shtvll— we hope without offence to you — often • allude to' you and to the honorable standi that you "have taken. AVe know the time ■will come when the men who now lead the , revolutionary party — the men whose names^ wc intend to give the public — will award^B 4 Guide Book to to you the praise of consistency— of patriot- ism — of a just appreciation of the country's srreatness and the country's ruin. That there is clanger that fanatical priests Avill so far gain an ascendency oter the judg- ment of our masses, as to precijatate us into a civil war, no reilectinic man can deny. Fanaticism has destroyed govern- ments without numbers, and will destroy many more. To preserve the Union is an honorable desire — to destroy it — to even hazard it — is a most disgraceful crime. Will not the course of the con- servative party be approved by every man who reflects on the importance of his right action? We believe that three- fom-ths of the voters of the middle and northern States will, in any emergency, support the Union. We positively know the South will vote with the conservative party — will sustain and act with the conservative party — will fight with the conservative party. We submit to you and the party of which you are an honorable member, this question — is it not for the intei-est of the Union to quiet the agitators — a few in number — as prornptly as possible? If a conflict must come; do you not say let it come while the •> few agitators are without discipline and without the funds for a complete organiza- tion ? What -will not these leaders do Avho • are raising not $16,000 only, but ten times ij $16,000, for purposes of treason and rebel- lion, against the peace of the country ? . Are not the revolutionists endorsing the ^ whole of John Brown's creed of— "Death Xew YoRii City. b to the Southern Planter?."''' Do they kno-n- to what ruin such acts must k-adi' llavo not these men k-ss iiiiiueneo now than they Avill have Avhon they hiWM cu-culutcd gra- tuitously 100,000 copies of the most infam- ous hook ever issued iroui '• an infamous imblishing house"— a house that shall be the first to he noticed iu proper time. If the sentiments of this book — if this rank treason against the Union if this legalized libeling— this worst of anarchy — this revolutioary document — is to be paid for, and sent like poison through every post office-^-through every artery of the nation, to p'ai-alize the heart of the Xorth. Bouth, East and "West — then Fnion is, a roi)e of sand — a French revolution is our unavoidable fate ? "^'"6 ask, in sorrow, are we not on the brink of a precipice, down which we must certainly fall? Is it not for the interest of the whole country, that the few treasonable men be the special care of a committee of conservatives — not a vigilance committee, but a committee of conservative Union-saving men ? Shall the conservative party— three-fourths of the Northern and Middle States — stand still, and see an epedemic sweeping over the nation — leveling everything that is holy — every thing beautiful— the"Temple reared by the wisdom of sages — the Constitution that seems to have been penned by the God of Kations, expressly to show the World that one Nation can govern them- selves — Avithout kings — without aristocra- cy — without popes — without superstition^ —without pious priests? Will not nin^ 6 G-triDE Book to out of ten in this city stand slioxilder to shoulder, in expelling the agitators ? Is it not best that the outbreak — the revolution — should be promptly commenced, and if three-fourths of the voters are to be van- quished by one-fourth, let the victors go to the South and free the negroes, or sharo the fate of Old Brown ? The rabid aboli- tionists who suppose the whole force of the North, is to be dashed, in one united mass, on the South — are misled by the infamous Independent newspax)er, and by papers of the same inllamable character. Watch these offices ! The consorvatiA^c party must b3. vanquished at the North before armed bands shall pass through the city of New York to murder the Southern citizens. We sli.ill print every line of Helper's treason, and v/ith the poison we shall cir- culate tlie antidote. The conservative party shall have both sides of this contro- - versy, and a few cents from each member, will distribute and keep in circulation hun- dreds of thousands of copies. We know the Avhole party — three-fourths of the voters — all who do not intend to have the city sacked — all who have property to protect, will, in this awful crisis, stand by us, and we will stand by them. We are told that the $16,000 are wanted promptly^ to distribute the firebrands and secure a general and prompt rising of the negroes at the South, as well as abolition- ists at the North ! We will not be told that treason — ^revolution— and bloodshed are not contemplated ! Their organization . shows that it is contemplated I Can any •* New Yobk Crrv. T tiling short of the government and the law3, be the objects for destruction? If their operations mean any thing, these aro their aims ! We ask again what shall be the action of the cunservatiYC party? "What the action of those who would preserve tho integrity of contracts — the bond of Union? TTe recommend that every ])iou3 agitator be immediately, and respectfully, invited to leave the city. We recommend that tho conservative party open a correspondence wth the most prominent of the South, and assure them that the revolutionists aro only a fraction of the masses, and can be silenced without bloodshed! That tho Southern States are lost to ns. without this prompt action, is too certain for argument To show the conservative party that ice ai-c not hasty in our warnings, we copy the two following paragraphs from the New York Times of November 30, and Decem- ber 2il, 1S59 : '•Ml-. Cheever's diatribe, preached to a oongregation which looks to British alms for its support, A\'ill ba given at full length, as an index of the prevailing tone and sen- timent of the City of New York. Against deliberate and intentional injustice of this sort, as well as ao-ainst the m'ischief it may work, ft were vain to reason or protest. If the Yirgini:ms persist in their miscon- ception of the stute of Northern feeling, and act upon it. they may do themselves and us serious'harm! If "they -^^all wait a littlo while, they may sec reason to distinist tho good faith of their coimselorsand the truth of their representitions. Meantime the 8 Gttide Book to North can do little to influence the result. The public authorities, v,-e hope, will exer- cise all due vigilance to prevent, so far as possible, any further infraction of the rights of the South, and will aid in punishing whatever crimes may already have been committed. For the rest, wo must Avait upon time and the good sense and patriot- ism of the- great l^ody of the American people." We copy the following from the New York Imies, December 2(1 : "South Carolina again assumes the atti- tude of the Southern nnllifieiition. The country may well be startled ])y the reso- lutions', adopted solemnly in lior Legisla- ture, expressing the vdlling^e:^s, and even anxiety, of South Carolina to unite with other slave-holding States in l\)rming a Southern Confederacy, and in tnking such wise precautions as will enable her and her sisters to resist sucessfully all invasions or sudden attacks from the North." And the following, from the same paper, December 3d : "We cannot Avonder that, under such tuition and discipline, the people of the South come to regard every Northern man as their enemy. It is easy to see to what all this must lead if it is suffered to go imchccked. It will produce increased distrust and. aliena- tion between the North and South, until, in some excess of popular passion, when reason and judgment and patriotism have all given aw;iy to 1 dind cavA panic-atricken resentment, the selfish leaders of the mad New Toek City. 9 crusado will plunge their followers into some crowning crime, which will involve their own destruction and menace the Union with dissolution. The remedy, we ' believe, lies exclusively with the conForva- tives of the South, that the Xorth has duties to perform in this regard, we do not deny or seek to conceal; but, in the face of such a sentiment as now prevails in the Southern States, it is utter folly for any man or party of men at the iSTorth to do anything whatever." The editors of the Bew York Times ?.d- mit, with us, that the South are certainly going, or have gone, out of the Union, an'd intimate that the Southern statesmen are very foolish to believe that the Jacobin clubs — the revolutionists — of this State, are men of any influence. Have not the editors of the Times published all the rev- olutionary sermons — speeches — all the out- rageous attacks upon the Soutli. without rebuking one of them ? Has any meeting of leading men ever been called for the ex- I)ress purpose of disclaiming all i-articipa- tion in the guilt of these articles ? When editors of this class find they have destroy- ed the Union, they say to the South, " T\'g are only in sport — Ave are trying to please the abolitionists and sell our paper ! "Wo want nothing but an abolition president, and that you cannot prevent our having." This is virtually the language of the men to whom we are now to charge the loss of the Union ! These are the men who could have saved the Union, and these are the mea 10 GxTiDB Book to ■who will accuse lis of liaato in calling for a prompt denial, or a prompt endorsement of revoliTtionary sentiments. One may yet Bave us — the other ■will see the sun of Union, once so glorious, set to rise no more. We shall flee from our homes mid the Im-id glare of burning houses. The cry will be — murder — fire — anarchy — revolution- death! Streams of blood, from human hearts, will fill with wild consternation this once happy coimtry ! We give our readers an extract from Helper's treason, that will stir up the same feelings in this city that Brown's contem- plated butcheries excited in Virginia! — Here it is : • ' "And now, sirs, we have thus laid down our ultimatum. What are you goir.g to do about it ? Something dreadful, of course ! Perhaps you will dissolve the Union again. Do it, if you dare ! Our motto, and v/e "VN'Ould have you to understand it, is Tlie Abolition of Slavery and the Perpetua- tion of the American Union. If, by any means, you do succeed in your treasonable attempts, to take the South out of the Union to-daj', we will bring her back to-morrow (if we please)— if she goes away Avith you, she will return without you. Do not mistake the meaning of the last clause of the last sentence ; we could eluci- date it so thoi'oughly that no intelligent person could fail to comprehend it; out, for reasons which may hereafter appear, we forego the task. Henceforth there are other iuterests to New Yoek Citt. II bo consulted in the South, aside from the interests of negroes and slaveholders, A profound sense of duty incites us to make the greatest possible efforts for the aboli- tion of slavery ; an equally profound senae of duty calls for a continuance of those efforts until the 'very last foe to free- dom shall have been utterly tanquisKed. To the summons of the righteous monitor ■within, {the higher laio again,) wo shall endeavor to prove faithful ; no opportunity for inflicting a mortal wound in the side of slavery shall be permitted to pass us unim- proved. Thus, terror-engenderers of the South, have we fully and frankly defined our posi- tion ; we have no modifications to propose, no compromises to otFer, nothing to retract, i>own, sirs, fret and fuam, i)repare your •weapons, threat, strike, shoot, stab, bring on civil war. dissolve the Union, nay anni- hilate the solar system if you will— do all this, more, less, better, worse, anything — do what you will, sirs, you can neither foil nor intimidate us ; our purpose is as firmly fixed as the eternal pillars of IleaA^en ; we have determined to abolish slavery, and so help us God, abolish it we will ! Take this to bed with you to-night, sirs, and think about it, dream over it, and let us know how you feel to-moiTow morning."— [In- famous]. From another page we copy the follow- ing- "So it seems that the total number of actual slave owners, including their entire 12 Gtjide Book to crew of cringiDg lickspittles, against wliom we have to contend is but three hundred and forty-seven thousand five hundred and twenty-five. Against this army for the defence and propagation of slavery wo think it will be an easy matter — independ- ent of the negroes, who, in nine cases out of ten, would be delighted with an oppor tunity to cut their masters' throats, and without accepting of a single recruit from cither of the free States, England, Franco or Germany — to muster one at least three times as large and far more resi>ectabio for its utter extinction. We are determined to abolish slavery at all hazards — in defi- ance of all the opposition, of whatever nature, which it Is possible for the slaveo- crats to bring against us. Of this thev may take due notice, and govern them- selves accordingly." [Treason ! rank trea- son!'' "We copy from Helper's Treason, pages S6 to 90 : "At once let the good and true men of this country, the patriot sons of the patriot fathers, determine that the sun which rises to celebrate the centennial anniversary of oiu- national independence, shall not set on the head of any slave within the limits of this Republic. Will not the non-slave- holders of the North, of the South, of the West, heartily, unanimously sanction this proposition ? Will it not be cheerfully in- dorsed by many of the slaveholders them- selves ? Will any respectable man enter a protest against it? On the 4th July, 1ST6— Xew Toek City. 13 sooner, if ^vo can — let us makis good, at least so far as we are concerned, the Declar- ation of Independence, Avhich was pro- claimed in Philadelphia on the 4th of July, 1776 — that "all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of "happiness ; that to secure theso rights, governments are instituted among men, derivin? their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever^ any form of government becomes destruc- tive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to insti- tute a new government, laying its founda- tion on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and hap- piness.' In purging oiir land of the iniquity of negro slavery, we shall only be carrying on the great work that was so successfully commenced by our noble sires of the revo- lution ; some 'future generation may pos- sibly complete the work by annulling the last form of oppression. To turn the slaves away from their pre- sent homes — away from all the property and means of support which their labor has mainly produced, would be unpardonably cruel — exceedingly unjust. Still more cruel and unjust woiild it be, hoAvever, to tho non-slaveholding whites no less than to the negroes, to grant further toleration to the existence of slavery. In any event, come what will, traspire what may, the system must be abolished. The evils, if any, which are to result from abolition, cannot, by any 14 Guide Book to manner of means, be half as great as the evils which are certain to overtake us in case of its continuance. The perpetuation of slavery is the climax of iniquity Two hundred and thirty-nine years have the negros in America been hold in inhu- man bondage. During the whole of this long period" they have toiled unceasingly, from the grey dawn till the dusk of eve, for their cruel task-masters, who have re- warded them with scanty allowances of the most inferior qualities of victualsi and clothes, with heartless separations of the tenderest ties of kindred, with epithets, with scoldings, with execrations, and Avith the lash — and, not unfrequently with the fatal bludgeon, or the more deadly weapon. From the labor of their hands, and from the fruit of their loins, the human-mongers of the South have become wealthy insolent, corrupt and tyrannical. In reason and in conscience, it must be admitted, the slaves might claim for themselves a liberal allow- ance of the proceeds of their labor. If they were to demand an equal share of all the property, real and personal, Avhich has been accumulated or produced through their efforts, heaven, we believe, Avould recog- nize them as honest claimants. For the services of the blacks from the 20th of August, 1630, up to the 4th of July, 1S69 — an interval of precisely two hundred and forty-eight years, ten months and fourteen days — their masters, if unwilling, ought, in our judgment, to be compelled to grant them their" freedom, and to pay eaclt and eveiy one of them at least sixty dollars l^ETv ToEK City. 15 cash in hand. Tho aggregate sum thus raised -would amount to about two hundred and fifty million of dollars, -which is lesa than tho total market value of two entire crops of cotton — one-half of which sum would be amply sufficient to land every negro in this country on tho coast of Liberia, whither, if we had the power, wo M'ould slifp them all within the next six months. As a means of protection against the exigencies which might arise from a sudden transition from their present homes in America to their future homes in Africa, and for the purpose of enabling them there to take iniatory steps in the walks of civil- ized life, the remainder of the sum — say about one himdred and tv»-entv-five million of dollars — might, very properly, be equally distributed amongst them after their ar Tival in the land of their fathers. Dr. James Hall, the Secretary of the ilaryland Colonization Society, informs us that the average cost of sending negroes to Liberia does not exceed thirty dollars each; and it is his opinion that arrangements might be made on an extensive jjlan for conveying them thither at an average ex- pense of not more than twenty-five dollars each. The American colonization movement, as now systematized and conducted, is, in our opinion, an American humane farce. At present the slaves are increasing in this country at the rate of nearly one hundred thousand per annum ; within tho last 12 years, as will appear below, the American Colonization Society has sent to Liberia less than 5.000 negroes. 16 Guide Book to Emigrants sent to Liberia by the Ameri- can Colonization Society, dm-ing the 12 years ending January 1st, 1859 : In 1847 89 In ie43 218 In 1S49 474 In ISoO. 590 In 1851 279 In 1852 568 In 1S53 5S3 In 1854 783 In 1855 207 In 1856 644 In 1857 370 In 1858 163 Total 4,813 The average of this total is a fraction over fonr hundred and one, which may be said to be the number of negi-oes annually colonized by the Society , while the yearly increase of slaves, as previously stated, is little less than one hundred thousand? Fiddlesticks for such colonization! Once for all, within a reasonably short period, let us, by an equitable system of legislation and by ' such other measures as may be right and proper, compel the slaveholders to do something like justice to their ne- groes by giving each and every one of them Ms freedom, and sixty dollars in cun-ent money ; then let us charter all the ocean steamers, packets and clipper ships that can be had on liberal terms, and keep them constantly plying between the ports of America and Africa, until all the slaves who are here held in bondage shall enjoy freedom in the land of their fathers. Under a well devised and properly conducted system of operations, but a few years would be required to redeem the United States from the monstrous curse of negro slavery, Sonae few years ago, when certain ethno- New Yoek City. 17 graphical oli|srarchs proved to their own satislaction that the negro was an inferior 'type of mankind,' they chuckled wonder- fully, and avowed, in substance, that it was right for tlic stronger race to kidnap and enslave the weaker — that because ^'ature had been pleased to do a trifle more for the Caucasian race thati for the African, tho former, by virtue of its superiority, was perfectly justifiable in holding the lajter in absolute and perpetual bondage ! IS o sys- tem of logic could be more antagonistic to the spirit of true demoraoy. It is jjrobable that the world does not contain two per- sons who are exactly alike in all respects; yet ' all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inaliendlle rights, among which are life, Hhertif, and the pursuit of happiness.' All mankind may or may not be the descendants of Adam and Eve. In oiu- own humble way of thinking, we are frank to confess, we do not believe in the unity of the races. This is a matter, how- ever, which has little or nothing to do with the great question at issue. Aside from any theory concerning the original parent- age of the different races of ^ men, facts, material and immaterial, palpable and im- palpable — facts of the eyes and facts of tho conscience — crowd around us on ev^ry hand, heaping proof upon proof, that sla- very is a shame, a crime, and a curse — a great moral, social, civil, and political evil, an oppressive burthen to the blacks,, and an incalculable injury to the whites — a stumb- ling block to the nation, an impediment to progress, a damper to all the nobler in- 18 Guide Book to Btincts, principles, aspirations and enter- prises of man, and a dire enemy to every true interest. But sirs, slaveholders, cnevaliers and lords of the lash, we are unwilling to allow you to cheat the negroes out of all the rights and claims to which, as human be- ings, they are most sacredly entitled. Not alone for ourself as an individual, but for others also — particularly for five or six mil- lion of Southern non-slaveholding whites, whom your iniquitous statismhas debarred from almost all the mental and material comforts of life — we do speak, when we say you must, sooner or later, emancipate your slaves, and pay each and every one of them at- least sixty dollars cash in hand." If we can understand plain English, wat is now declared, and we may expect to see Helper and his military staff, with cocked hats and swords, dashing through our etreets. We ask the favor of General Helper's company, in Union square, any evening he will name. If he shall refuse to name the evening for the meeting, the con- servative committee will name it for htm. We ask the conservaties of the city to be prepared to give the General and his butchers a military salute. As we shall be near a holy sanctuary, that has poured out treason as a cess-pool has poured out dirty water, we may make a call on the God of Cloaca! This saint, or god, has canonized old Brown for his butcheries, and only waits for a similar honor; united in life they should not be separated in death. We New Yoek Citt. 19 now give the ceremony of butclicr Brown'a canonization. ■Will not the God of Mercy change the hearts of these crazy men, and save tho country from more executions, and our OAvn murder? We copy from the New York Times, to show our readers that we may- cry peace, but there will be no peace while Cheever is crazy heke! Prompt action, alone, can save us ! Are we right ? Con- servatives will answer. "The small lecture-room of Dr. Chee* ver's church was filled yesterday morning» it being announced that a prayer meeting for John Brown would be held. Among those present were Ernestine L. Eose, C. L. Brace, Lewis Tappan, Oliver Johnson, and Count de Gurowski. The exercises lasted from 10>^ A. M. to 12)4 P. M., con- sisting of addresses, singing and prayer. Dr. Cheever read a passage of Scripture relating to "Stephen's martyrdom, drawing a parallel between John Brown and the Apostle. He considered John Bro-mi as God's first martyr in this land for the anti- slavery cause. Mr. Tappan made a prayer, speaking of Brown as a Christian martyr in the hands of an infuriated mob, and praying that pos- terity would rise up and call hiui blessed. A Baptist clergyman offered a prayer asking the spirit of God to imbue his ser vant John Brown, and that God's presence would be felt by the sufferer, when sur- rounded by those Avho gnash their teeth and thirst for tho blood of his kind and benevolent heart. 20 Guide Book to Eev. Mr. Fi-ench renewed the parallel between John Brown and Stephen, and prayed that his martyrdom should work greater good for the slave than had ever been worked before. Dr. Cheever read the hymn containing the following : Through^ace I am determined To couquer, though I die. At the reading of this portion the audi- ence responded with fervent cries of 'Amen.'— [They want martyrdom.] At the suggestion of ilr. BeiTy, tlie audi- ence, at twenty minutes past 11 under the impression that John Brown was then sutfering his severest trial, devoted five minutes to silent prayer. During the five minutes the silence was only broken by sobs and partly audible prayers. Dr. Cheever, near the close of the meet- tag, made an address, urging his hearers to 'remember them that are in bonds as bound with them.' — [Infamous]. Let 'them trust In the power of God to lead them on to victory. A gentleman in the audience wanted to call attention to the trial of the first slave case, thirty -five hundred years ago, when God was the plaintiff— when God had saidl ' Let my people go.' He had determined that they should go. He did not believe that a slave could be got to heaven.— [None but. scavengers use the word got.] They had got to rid the slaves out of the hands of his master. Another gentleman thought it, perhaps, better that John Brown had not carried IS'et lORK City. 21 out his scheme, bocauso othorwiso this meetinij would nut have assi-mblecl, and they would not have caught his spirit, as they M^ould most assuredly uudei- the pre- sent circamstan-03. John Drown had con- secrated himsjlt" to the great and good cause. — [Think of the consi-cration of a man wh'», with his party, deliberately con- templated the murder of 350,0')0 persons]. Another gentleman said they depended too mnch on God's carrying on this work, without rc-memljering that they were all insti-uments. They Avere awaiting C»^od to show His power. Had it not been so with reference to the rescue of their brother, John Brown ? They should act as well as pray. [We will act" too.] Dr. Cneever spoke of the day as a sacred and holy day, and as a fit season for prayer, lie hoped there would be a largo attend- ance at the evening meeting. The church was a little more than half filled in the evening. A number of those present were evidently there only from motives of curiosity. After the prelimin- ary exercises, Eev. J. C. Warren delivered an address, in which ho stated that the subject of their prayers was beyond the reach of prayer or pain. But his bereaved wife and family needed their prayers ; his comrades, still bound in chains, should have their sympathy and prayers. Let the angel of the Lord light up their cells. — Amen. Dr. Cheever read a number of extracts from the Scriptures, Avith the design of showing God's comfort to the martyrs, and 22 GxriDE Book to •»• his ultimate purpose lo overcome slavery. He supposed that there vras hardly a. man in the nation who did not believe that John Brown was now in heaven. His bitterest enemies ought to allow that God had taken Mm to Himself. He read several extracts from BroAvn's letters to show his character. One letter, stating that he (Brown) con- sidered himself worth much more for hang- ing than for any purpose, was indorsed by a deep-toned 'Amen' from a gentleman in the audience. He spoke of the circum- stance of Brown's declining the services of the Southern minister, on the groimd that their views on the subject of slavery were incompatible with their joint profession of any religion. Dr. Cheever thought this was glorious. — Applause in various parts of the church. A Lady Voice— So do I.— Continued ap- plause, by standing and clapping of hands. The Christian Church ought to take this to heart, and only needed the union of the religious world to remove this curse in ten years. Mr. Oliver Johnson said he felt exultant in the present crisis. John Brown's move- ment was God's own earthquake, shaking American slavery to the centre. He read several verses eulogizing John Brown, and the principle for which he claims to have suffered, which were applauded by both clapping of hands and stamping of feet. A shrill female voice at this point said— ' I believe a great deal in bone and muscle.' The lady told the fable of Hercules and tiie wagoner, in which the latter was advis- Nbtv York Citt. 23 ed to put his shoulder to the wheel and then call upon the gods to help him. She want- ed to see the ministers, women, and old men do the praying, but the young men ought to fight. She wouldn't have been afraid to head an army herself to help to rescue John Brown. He should never have been hung.— Prolonged applause as before. Dr. Cheever thought these manifesta- tions were inappropriate to the deep solem- nity that pervaded the meeting of the morning, and should characterise this. He believed the gigantic sin of slavery was to be overcome by the power of the Word of God leading the movement. Mr. Fairbanks prayed, saying — It was sad that there Avere laws in the nineteenth century to put the Christian to death for obeying the laws of God. It was sad that the Government was on the side of the oppressor and the unjust laws, and pledged to extend their power. He prayed that God would make John Brown's death to call the attention of every slave-holder to the sin of slavery, until they should break every yoke, and let the oppressed go free. Dr. Eitter said he did not come here to exonerate John Brown and his associates, although he thought they were conscien- tiously wrong.

While the plates were being passed, he took occasion to cite a passage from John Milton to sustain John Brown, ending with the following : ' They dispute as to precedents, forms and circum- stances, when the Commonwealth v/ell- nigh perishes for want of deeds in sub- stance done with just and faithful expedi- tion.'

Another crisis was approaching. — [We think the crisis has approached!] The representatives of the Methodist Chm-ch were to meet in Buffalo within ninety days, and the question was to be di3euss(^d whether a slave holder could be allowed in the communion of the Methodist Church. They had ministers who owned from one to twenty slaves. He was glad that John Brown had served the son of old Bishop "Waugh as he did. — [Murder justi- fied]. If that minister came to New York he couldn't occupy his pulpit. The day had been a sad one to him. After a prayer by Mr. Mattison. and a few words from Kev. J. C. Warren, the meeting separated. The Tribune, which claims to be a Ee- publican journal, holds the following lan- guage in its issue of Dec. 10th : " You know that we Anti-Slavery men are not '■sectional'' in our purposes and aspirations — that, on the contrary, we aro seeking to encourage and inspire the, South to cast off the "burden which has caused her to lag so far behind the North in every element of growth and greatness we know that if the South had thrown off Slavery when New York did, h r popula- tion, wealth and intelligence, would havo been to-day at least double what they are. You know that mistaken Old John Brown, and his brave sons Avith him at Harper's Ferry, laid down their lives, not to injvo'e^ New Yoek City 27 lyut benefit the South— that they and their comrades, dead, or about to be killed, were the least sectional of human beings. They sacrificed their all in an unlawful but heroic effort to benefit those whom they bad never seen." The Trib un e thus declares that an arm,' ed invasion of Southern States, for th& purpose of liberating their slaves, is not a sectional movement; — that men who engage in it cannot be called sectional men ; — and, by necessary inference, that a political party which proclaims that to b© its purpose, is not a sectional party. Af- ter such a definition of terms as that, of what possible use is a disclaimer of "sec- tionality,"— or a proclamation that the par- ty is purely and thoroughly national in its motives and its plans? John Brown and his companions, according to the Tri^ hune, were the "least sectional of human beings." If the Eepublican party, there- fore, were to imitate the conduct and fol- low the example of John Brown, it would also be the "least sectional" of political, parties, according to the same authority. All the world will admit that Old Brown was a cut-throat, intending to destroy the property, and the lives of 350,000 planters, and their families also, or he was a Satiob, Bent by a Benificent God to restore the bouthem States to Libektt and to pros- perity I Greeley, in the above paragraph, pronounces the opinion that he was their Saviob !

Wo pause in sorrow, and ask them if they have reflected on the consequences to which their acts must certainly lead ? Helper's book, and our Abolition newspapers, do not contain the sentiments that will cany us through the approaching crisis ! Cheever's mad endorsement of the worst acts of Old Bro-\vn, and his canonization of Brown as a "Martyr," are destroying the respect that once existed for each other at the North, and will destroy all the attachment once felt for the citizens of the South, The excitement has certainly reached the point at which an outbreak may be momentarily expected. Shall Helper's in- famous book be recommended by our dis- union editors, and spread broadcast, and gratuitously, to finish the work of destruc- tion that Brown did but commence ? This Is the important question for conservatives to discuss, and we shall discuss it fear- lessly. If any benefit can result to the country in this heated contest, it will be easy to show the errors in facts, and the errors in sentiments, put forth in the work. No well informed person, who is impartial, call read the Impending Crisis without de- tecting the intentional misrepresentations of Helper. The misfortune is, that those who read such books are, from their preju- dices, incapable of detecting the errors of his reasoning, and the errors of his statis- tics. On the 36th page of the " Crisis'''' .

If Helper is an honest man. and wishes to benefit the South, why did he not give last year's official report ? Every respect- able 'merchant has seen the report. Helper's estimate of the cotton crop was the result of an imperfect census, taken lust ten yenrs ago ! Is this honest '? But he has not even given that correctly. In 1S55 — five years after the time that he places his estimate of the cotton crop — the value of the cotton exported was $S3,000,- 000, and in 1859 it wt!S $166,554,S3-i! To this estimate, which is from the Custom House, and from Washin.^on, and Is offi- cial, we must add the value of the home consumption, amounting to nearly one- fourth of the foreign consumption, making nn aggregate of more than 200.000,000 dol- lars ! There were produced, according to his table, only 2,445,779 bales. The real amount In 1S59, from the Custom House reports, was 3,771,403 bales, or 1,325,624 bales more than his estimate ! He misrep- resents again, when he calls a bale only 400 pounds— the average by Custom House was 450 pounds and a fraction over. One milliou three hundred and twenty- five thousand bales, at fifty dollars per bale, amounts to $06,281,200. which is the amount of his error 1 Helper was careful 82 Guide Book to to give no estimate of the value of the cotton crop in dollars and cents; he well knew that no other crop compared with the cotton, and no other was to any extent exported. Who can say that cotton Avill not double, both in quantity and in price, every five years, if the gold diggers of Cal- ifornia, Frazer's Eiver, Pike's '^Peak, and Australia, are to wear shirts ? Many of the peasants of Europe have not the luxury of a shirt ; but when they reach the gold re- gions, they, if they please, Avear ruffles on their shirts. Untold millions are emigra- ting; Europe at this time, takes our cot- ton at three times the price they once paid, but at present they take but little flour, and but a small quantity of our corn. "Why did Helper omit to state the value in dollars of the only crop which England now takes of ?is and may at some future time take of the South, Anthout -us ? The value of the crop of hay was one-fourth less than his figures ! Helper informs us that his Southern friends have had more than their share of the fat offices, in the gift of the President and of Congress. Does Helper know that in this paragraph there is a direct insult to the North ? The South never had a ma- jority of votes in the Senate, nor in the House— if the South have filled those offices more frequently than Are have, it was for the reason that they had more in- tellectual A\eight — this Ave deny — they have not had more loaves ond fishes than we have had. Is such a book suited to the Impending ■PIETV TOEK CiTT. 33 Crisis? "We do not believe that Helper has given a single table of statistics ■\vhich has not been made to misrepresent facts. What does he mean by comparing the hay crop -with the cotton crop? Uo ■vve export hay? He gravely charges the South •with the difTercnce' in value be- tween their swamp lands and our best forming lands. "What would be thought of a London Merchant, Avho in parliament should re- commend non-intercourse with Canada, the West Indies, Australia, and her twen- ty "or thirty other richest colonies, and offer as a reason, such facts as Helper ofiers for our separation from the South. He says Southern cities are not so largo as ours — the population of the Southern States not so dense as our manufacturing states — their schools not so good — and a stranger reason than all others is the fact — that the South actually purchases every thing they cat drink and wear of us and make us rich ■while they make themselves poor!* Wonderful logic ! For the reason that ■we sell them every thing, and get rich by 80 doing — ice muxt abuse them till tJiey separate ! One fact he did not name in connection with the low price of their lands.

Is it not twenty times as much as all our gold and silver, coined and not coined ? Is it probable that twenty of our largest cities have a taxable valuation greater than the valuation of Southern ne- groes ? The leading idea of Helper's treason is, that Southern negroes must and shall be immediately emancipated, and of course ho tries to prove that the country is impover- ished by slavery. In attempting to do this he falsilies all he says. Do not Southern men, ■who cling to their property, knoM' that IIcl- jier lies t If Mr. Helper will visit North Carolina, and the friends he is so desirous of assisting, ■we will guarantee him 5,000 dollai'S. which shall be placed in a bank in tills city, subject to his order, when he shall have made the vinit ! Docs he contemplate paying the South- cm jilanters for their negroc'S ? Does he not recommend paving the negroes sixtv dollars each, or ('24b,0u'0,000) two hundred and forty million of dollars ? AVho is to pay this sum? Helper says the Southern Xilanters are all poor. Does not this infa- mous man know, that if these negroes ■were to receive this sum, they would, in their drunken frenzy, kill every white man, woman and child at the South? Have wo not all read the history of the negro mas- sacre in St. Domingo V* * The second catastrophe, more extensive 36 Guide Book to Have we not all read the history of the Catholic attempt to blow up the Parlia- ment Iloues while filled with men and avo- in its operation, yet more terrible in its de- tails, was the revolt of St. Domingo. The slaves in that flourishing colony, agitated by the intelligence which they received of the leveling principles of the Constituent Assembly, had early manifested symptoms of insubordination. The assembly, divided betAveen the desire of enfranchising so large a body of men, and the evident dangers of such a step, had long hesitated pn the course they should adopt, and were inclined to support the rights of the planters. But the passions of the negroes were excited by the efforts of a society styled " The So- ciety of Friends of the Blacks," of which Brissot M'as the leading member; and the laulattoes were induced, by their injudi- cious advice, to organize an insurrection. They trusted that they would be able to control the ferocity of the slaves even dur- ing the heats of a revolt; they little knew the dissimulation and cruelty of the savage character. A universal revolt was planned and organized, without the slightest suspi- cion on the part of the planters, and the same night fixed on for its breaking out over the whole island. At length, at midnight, on the SOth Oc- tober, 1791 , the insurrection broke forth. In an instant twelve hundred coffee and two hundred sugar plantations were In flames; the buildings, the machinery, the farm-ofll- ces, reduced to ashes ; the unfortunate pro- Keav Yoke City. 37 men, inclucTin;:^ tiio King and Queen, and tho Lords and Commons? llave Ave not lioard of the Catholic mui*- prietors hunted (lown, murdered, or throAAix into the flames hy the infuriated negroes. Tho horrors of a' servile war universally appeared. The unchained African signal- ized his ingenuity by tho discovery of new and unheard-of mod"cs of torture. ' An un- happy planter was sawed asunder between two boards; the horrors inflicted on the women exceeded anything known even in the annals of Christian ferocity. The in- dulgent master was sacrificed equally with the inhumane ; on all alike, young and old, rich and poor, the wrongs of an oppressed race were indiscriminately wreaked. — Crowds of slaves traversed the country with the heads of the white cliildren af- fixed on the heads of their pikes; they served as the standards of these furious as- semblages. In a few instances only, the humanity of the negro character resisted the savage contagion of the time ; and some faithful slaves, at the hazard of their own lives, fed in caves their masters or their children, whom they had rescued from de- struction. The intelligence of these disasters ex- cited an angry discussion in the assembly. Brissot, the most A^ehement opponent of slavery, ascribed them all to tlie refusal of tho blessings of freetlom to the negroes; the moderate members, to the intlainm/,- tory addresses circulated among them by the Anti-Slavery Society of Paris. At length it was agreed to concede tho politi- SS Guide Book to dcr of the Huguenots, -when at midnight the great bell of Paris sounded, and the populace fell on the sleeping protestants cal rights for which they contended to the men of color ; and, in consequence of that resolution, St. Domingo obtained the nom- inal blesssngs of freedom. But it is not thus that the great changes of nature aro conducted; a child does not acquire the strength of manhood in an hour, or a tree the consistency of the hardy denizens of the forest in a season. The hasty philan- tliropists who conferred upon an ignorant slave population the precipitate gift of free- dom, did them a greater injury than their worst enemies. The black population re- main to this day, in St. Domingo, a memo- rable example of the ruinous effect of pre- cipitate emancipation. Without the steady habits of civilized society ; ignorant of the ■wants which reconcile to a life of labor; destitute of the support which a regular government might have afforded, they have brought to the duties of cultivated, the ha- bits of savage life. To the indolence of the negro character they have joined the vices of "European corruption; profligate, idle, aud disorderly, they have declined both in numbers and in happiness ; from being the greatest sugar plantation in the world, the island has been reduced to the necessity of importing that valuable produce ; and the inhabitants, naked and voluptuous, are fast receding into the state of nature from w^hich their ancestors were torn, two centuries ago, by the rapacity of Christian avarice.

Have you not read of dozens of inhuman — mi'.rdcrous out- breaks, caused entirely by the fanaticism of bloody priests, under "the impious pre- tence of 'obeying God's laws ? Do they not all sink to insignificance, comparedVith the "black" designs of these abolitionists ? Is there no humanity in the hearts of these infamous men? Would not such infernal acts be retaliated upon ourselves? "What should vcc say to the Southern planters, if they should train se- cretly, four millions of black devils, to be dashed on us in this city— to murder us and to take our property as their rightfi:! booty? Are Ave not doing a -worse act? Shall not these infamous men be promptly expelled ? Could a fiend from the infernal regions ask for a law more unjust than the sacri- fice of four thousand millions of dollars to appease the crazy abolitionists ? Could an incarnate devil, from the lower regions, gloat over a scene of greater horror, than the massacre of 350.000 planters, and five ■. imes the numberof their unoffending wives and children ? Do the laws of God require the South to send 4,000.000 of black devils here, to cut our throats, and to fill our cess- pools with human blood — and to fire our houses while we sleep? Do these infa- mous men dream, or do they really intend to renew John Crown's murderous attack on the South ? If these crazy " Infidels'" succeed in their infernal purposes, will not an avenging God, send fire — famine — 40 Guide Book to pestilence — civil war — tinuterabie misery upon tliis city ? If a man tells us that this city Avill not deserve this chastisement, we •will to his face pronounce him an "Infi- del," and a fit man for a cell !

For the reason that we have 1000 bad houses where we immolate on li- centious altars, every innocent country girl who can be trapped by '"hags" into these dens of infamy ! For the reason that these victims, once as lovely as angels, are to the extent of 500, every year, sent to our Potter's Field, the Golgotha of this corrupt city ! "What if the Southern priests ehoukl deny all fellowship with our pious priests, and justify the butchering of our merchants, on the assertion that Saint Kalloch and SaintPomroy were licentious wretches; and that Episcopal Bishops get drunk ; and that Puritan priests, the Br. Cheever's of this licentious city, have been confined in prison limits ? Do not Helper, and the crazy abolitionists like Greeley^ and the men T\ithout honesty — all who re- cemmend Helper's treason— pretend that they are obeying God's laAvs, when they send a new army of Butcher Browns Avith 5,000 guns, and 5,000 swords, to kill white- men first, and then the negroes who will not lie free ? Do any conservative men doubt there being at this moment a scheme — a villain- ous scheme — on foot for the second act of New York City, 41 Olfl Brown's tragedy? Has not Greeley told the abolitionists' that such an attack was perfectly justifiable, and would benefit the South ? Ilavo not Cheover's church members informed the pious church mem- bers of the country, that they wished for mart}Tdom ? Cheevers church members are told by him that they are obeying God's higher laws, in sending: a ciit-throat to mur- der all who live where slaves are property? The conservative committee now form- ed and nightly meeting, have reports from every part of the city. They think they are obeying God's laws in shooting *' trait ors.'" The committee think God's laws require them to stand by sacred contracts. This committee think God sent better patriots in the first revolution than can be made out of patriotic-JighUng-priesis of the second revolution. JSTow do God's laws read both backward and forward, meaning one thing to one set of men, and another to another set of men ? "Which of the two parties are obeying God's laws ? Is it the l)arty that would destroy the constitution, or the party that would preserve the integ- rity of the " States and the Union ? Is it Greelev, or is it those who want to dispose of Greeley ? Is God's law — so called — anything but the opinion of these crazy men? Du- ring the reformation, and for two hun- dred years, the priests were setting on tho peo]i]e to butcher and burn each other. Did they not all pretend they 43 Guide Book to •were obeying God's law ? Do "we ■want any priests' higher Law here, to jus- tify their mnrdering ns? Then expel them promptly!

"We hope the o-s\-n- er of the stable is well insured. In the sermon, among other false state- nienta, he is reported to have said slavery was abolished in Eussia, Turkey and India ! It is not true of either of these places, and Matteson knew it; or if so ignorant as not to know it, he should not attempt by preaching, to mislead and inflame the pas- sions of his ignorant hearers. Is it the duty of the conservative com- mittee now organized, to allow the few abolitionists to utterly destroy all confi- dence in our constitution and our laws?

We need oftentimes the chastisements" of afiiiction and these reminders of that which is to happen to us all. There is a healthy sorrow by which the heart is made better and the soul strengthened for the duties and the trials of life, and which aids us to bear the burdens which are thrown on us all. In the heated conflicts of the bar pas- sions and hostilities are engendered which an hour like this melts away, and real or imagined wrongs are forgiven here which might otherwise remain for years. It is well such meetings as this occur, and this is a fit occasion for a meeting of this kind. We have met to pay our last tribute of 45 GmDE Book to party, -who assembled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, whose patriotic efforts are recorded oil the 202d page of the Wealth of the affection and respect to one of whom we ail thought well, and whoso loss we all siaeerely deplore. In recent years I havo known Theodore Sedgwick well. He was of a noble race of men, of distinguished ances- try, of high moral and intellectual endow- ments, himself with the bearing, the tone, the culture, the manners, the truth, the frankness, the chivalry, the breeding and the honor of a gentleman. Like many who are supposed to be men of the world, and of whom the world knew not, he had the faith of a child in the Great Father, God. He believed that after this life there was another life, and for those who were faithful in there calling, whatever that calling might be, unto the end, they Avaited a reward of glory brighter than the human eye can behold, and in pcrsuit of which he would not have turned aside to grasp the crown of an emperor. Ho died in the middle of life— in the bloom of his manhood — in the possession of his honors — he has left an honored and beloved name — an un- spotted reputation — a proud heritage to his children — an example worthy of all imitation. There were some touching incidents connected with his death that 13 not improper to mention. After spending his active life in the throbbing heart of this great city, and after visiting nearly every foreign land, he died on that beautiful river where his childhood had played. He died New Toek City. 47 "World, think as we think, we offer no other excuse for the warning we now give our party. We know that abolUion men in the home of his fathers of many ponera- tions. He died where they were born, and the mother who had Avatched him in his infant slumbers soothed him to his eternal rest. I was ctartled at the an- noimcement of his death la the court where I was the other day prcsidirig, but I was much naore startled Avhcn the an- nouncement of that death was made — that there returned so freshly the last words v.hich I had ever heard "him utter. The last time we met was at my country home, where we had leasure to talk over public affairs, in which we were both mutually and deeply interested, and about which his oHice had given him many opportunities of knowing. And as we parted, in reply to a remark of mine, that having gone upon the bench I should never take any part in public afixiirs. he replied with earnestness, and almost with a tone of prophecy, '"You and men of your age will be compelled to take part in public alTairs to save the land from bloody anarchy." I never met him more ; but when his death was announced in court his words came back like an echo from the grave, that men should be called upon to save this land of ours from anarchy. You will pardon me, Mr. Chairman and my brethern, when I say for some two J -ears this great subject has occupied deep- y much of my thought, and that I have Bought information from all the sources of 4S Guide Book to ■will laugh at our warning ; men laughed when our great ancestors took refuge in the ark of safety. knowledge within my reach — that it has more and more seemed to me a serious and important questiim, and one not unfit to be mentioned here. I find that, from the Chaldean shepherd to the model Emperor, nations have risen to power and grandeur, and have gone to decay — that in the time of the Prophets the nation which He called "a tree whose top did extend to the heavens and the branches to the end of the earth," decayed and was swept from the earth ; and from that time onward nations have risen and prospered — they have had their troubles, their dangers, their decay, their injury or their ruin. I find that we, as I read our history, have advanced with a rapidity in gi-andeur and in power such as the world gives lis no account; that we have advanced in wealth and prosper- ity to such a degree that the wildest im- agination of the founders of this country never dreamed; and I find from this is springing corruption and discontent, and dissatisfaction and trouble in the land, which look like danger before us. I find that nations like individuals, have had their days of mourning — that their mourn- ing has been deep or long, proportionate to their strength and the greatnees of their crimes. "We are told that interest will protect us from these dangers. We are told that these clangers have been threat- ened before — that they have not come — Kew Tobk City. 49 The editor of the New York Times, Sat- H ?^' ■^^'^- ^^'"'' accused the editors of the Inbune of publishing an Abolition paper. that there is no danger—that those which were talked of have all passed away. Wo are told that men are governed by interests, not by feeling that it is for thtfr interest not to act with follj', therefore they win_ act with wisdom. I ask you Mr. Chairman, If, when you read the accounts of those slaughters in India, and read of the mysterious signs that passed from one town to another of that mysterious land murmurings and muttcrings that forbodo the troubles coming, which were told to British ofhcers, that they said there was no danger! They said it was not for the Interest of their native army to revolt, and they said that these things had been told to them before, ,and that the dangers were all passed. Did they mean anything? They said they meant nothing; but soZn they found it meant slaughter, and such Slaughter as modern times has never read ?l' r,^^ ^^® interest of the nation prevent the bloody war of Cromwell? Did the interests of the nation prevent the butch- eries of the time of James the&'econd? Did interest prevent the murders and the crimes that were committed when Charles the beeond returned? Has Interest ever been so strung in men as their aroused passions? And do you believe, sir, that in this land of ours, if this great, youn?, half barbanc giant nation shall once have his 50 GuicE Book to To answer tliis ctiarge, Ihe editors of the Tribune wrote nearly two columns of labored soj>Jdst}'y;\f'h.a.t was their defence? passions roused, that any political philoso- pher who shall come and prove to him that it is not for his interest to grow mad, will quell him into quietness ? As well might a woman attempt by her lullaby to hush the roar of the ocean. Twenty -five years ago DoTocqneville passed through this country, and he wrote a book upon democracy. He passed from one end of this land to the other, and he records that he found nowhere, however many faults he saw in this government — lie found nobody to complain of them— that no man Avished them changed — that all were satisfied Avith their government, even ^Yith. its faults. I ask you, Jlr, Chair- man, if he or any other philosopher shall come through this land to-day, and pass from Maine to Georgia, he will leave that record ? I ask j-ou if you do not find in this land this day the rich dissatisfied that they are governed by the ignorant and poor? the poor dissatisfied thut they are not rich ? — those who are laborers dissatis- fied that they are not in olfice, and work- ing and Becking for it ? — those Avho are in office dissatisfied that they cannot plunder more than they do ?. I ask if you do not find the Forth dissatisfied with their fede- ral relations to the South — the South dis- satisfied Avith all her relations to the North? — if you do not find in this land universal general discontent and rising Xe-w Yoke City. 51 They did not deny that the Tfbune wa8 an Abolition paper ; tliey even admitted it was an AhoUtion paper of a certain stamp— \i was, they said, an Abolition paper before the Abolition party started into existence ; they were, they said, the passions and moving — even some States to arms ? — that free citizens cannot pass with- out being arrested, their business inquired into and their progress stayed? Do you, Mr. Chairman, say that this means noth- ing? I ask those of you whom we have elevated on the plane of intellect and above the common mind, who are gifted with a keen vision that can look into tlie future, if in the distant horizon in this land you see dawning a clear day, or do you see it filled with portents of thick clouds and dangers which are to come ? As I said, I have given much thought, serious rellec- tion and deep consideration to this mutter. Vivid as the memories, clear as the sun at noon, and certain as the punishment of sin, evils are in the distance in this land, which men will be called upon in our life- time to meet I have said thus much Mr. Chairman, being well aware that I speak in advance of the times. I leave a reputa- tion for the folly or for the wisdom of what I have said to be determined by the years which are to come in our lifetime. I see before me men of diflferent political par- ties, whose hands will be joined like breth- ren in a foreign land, to stay the evils which they will find to come over us; and if the spirit of him whom we are called 52 Guide Book to suckling mothers of a rampant, revolu- tionary party— i/iey indirectly admitted and proclaimed all of tJiis. They summed up their doctrine— their politics — their admissions in nearly these •words. The fundamental, the initial, un- derlying question aflfectlng American pol- itics, then is simply this, is human slavery right or wrong ? If right, then all manner of opposition to it ought to cease at the Noath, If ■wrong — agitation— having for its aim the entire abolition of slaverj— should never be relaxed for one moment ! Do Garri- son, Phillips, Fred Douglas, or any of the crazy Abolitionists, go further than this? All opposition to agitation should be aban- doned, if slavery is wrong. This means if crazy Abolitionists think it wrong. We ask if 4,000,000 of slaves do not exist? Did not slavery exist when the confedera- tion was formed ? At a subsequent time did not a congress of sovereign States adopt a constitution, after a long debate, in which the Northern representatives solemnly engaged to call negroes peopee- TY? upon to mourn shall stir by their presence to thought the minds in this room, that he will not have lived and died in vain, and we shall pass out from this place of mourn- ing, sadder, soberer, stronger and better forever. Mr. Evarts then moved that the proceed- ings be published in the newspapers, and a certified copy sent to the family of deceaa- ftd. The meeting then adiourned. New Tork City. 58 Do not all cool-headed Statesmen know that our government is only a compact between soA-ereijjn and independent States, and is dissolved the moment we tell -those States that negroes are not pro- perty ? Is not this property— these negroes — worth four thousand millions of dollars '? Is noi this property, at seven per cent . giving them at the South — giving us at the North indirectly — two hundred and eighty millions 6f dollars every year? if one hundred thousand negroes are added to the wealth of the country every year, are we, North and South, not ben- efitted ($100,000 000) one hundred mil- lions of dollars every year ? But the A bo- liiion papers— the Tribune particularly— tell what they know to be falsehoods, and constantly assert, as Helper does, that the South are growing poor f We tell these men they positively know they lie I A negro is worth double what he was a few years ago, for the reason that the cotton pays more than double price. is there a greater source of wealth in the world than the ownership of 4,000,000 of negroes? Do not the Northern factories clothe these negroes? Do not our merchants sell these men for their ne- groes tea, sugar, coffee, everything they want ? Do not the planters pay us more for the articles consumed by their four millions of negroes, than we receive from two hundred millions of pagan black devils in Africa ? Do not the North and 54 Guide Book to the South prosper or suffer together ? Are we not both now flourishing as no nation ever before flourished ? When will these infamous men cease to cheat their read- ers with their villainous falsehoods? They know the South is as rich as we are, if we do not allow our villainous priests and fanatics to rob them. Shall we allow this ? These infamous Abolition papers tell their readers, negroes have no value, they are notpro2)6/%, p.nd shall not be pro- perty^ if we can make them valueless! Kelease these four millions of negroes at oxcE, or we will help them to cut your throats, and to seize your property ! Is not this language revolutionary ? Is it not the langiiage of men who try to cheat us with the false pretence that they are moderate republicans ? Greeley, we say again, holds this language— Helper holds this language. Yet Senator Wilson said in the tJ. 8. Senate, the logi© of Helper was unanswerable ! Helper says negroes shall be instanily made free and paid $60 each, and Senator Willson says Helper''6 logic is tmanswerable. WepronounceWil- son's comment treasonable! It is our part to show the Conservative party that Republicanism, Abolitionism, are Eevoltjtion, nothing but Eevoltt- TiON ! They cannot learn this truth too soon, if the Union and the Constitution are to be rescued from abolition— from su- icidal attacks. The truth is, Helper's book is a rabid Abolition publication, made by a man who has for years been a leading Aboli- New York City, 55 tionist, ready, like Brown, to do the dirty- work of the ^a.Tty—/or journer/men^s tca- ges. The book was made to sell in a cri- 818, if a crisis could be produced, and the hanging of a cut-throat has furnished just the crisis wanted. Neither Helper nor the most rabid Ab- olitionists will pretend his book contains facta. lie is guilty of false pretence in asserting that it was written to benefit the South. Is there a single paper at the South that has approved such an incen- diary publication V If there is we wish to know it. The " Crisis" was first compiled during the last Presidential election, but excited no attention, and was left neglected on the publishers' shelf. Its present sale is to be credited to the names of rabid revolutionists, who recom- mended the book without knowins, and without wishing to know, that it was filled with falsehooas, and with inflamma- tory language. His insulting taunts, his vulgar abuse, his impudent challenges, his unjust com- parisons of North and South, his insult- ing gibes, his falsified tables of statistics, are "the weapens that wound the cool- headed portion of the South, and insult the intelligence of the North. "We ask conservative men if Helper would have used these weapons if he had been bom at the South, or if he had written his book for the benefit of Southern men ? Helper was born in Canada of Catholic parents and was brought up by charity. 56 Guide Book to His father was drum major in tlio 81st Irish regiment. Helper may now be seen at the catholic church on Barclay Street — wlien Tie, says 7iis prayers. He aspires like tho men of his religion who wanted a king that acknowledged a Pope — to the honor of blo-wing up Congress— as they blowed up the King and Parliament in England. At an early ago Helper Adsitod the South as the Canadian agent of the underground railroad. He never was in California After a short residence in Korth Carolina. he was invited to'leave. and with com- mendable agility, he left between tM'o days — no tar nor feathers were expended in this — oiitbreaJc. Since his flight he swore vengeance a- gainst the South ; but never could sum- mon com'age to look a Southern man in the face. The butcheries of Old Brown have, by inflaming the passions of the two contend- ind parties, aided the circulation of this dangerous work. Helper's language — vul- gar — coarse — heated — intemperate — has caused the book to be recommended by the more dangerous abolitioniets like Greeley, and those, Avhohave their "I'ule" or ''ruin" sentiments in their hearts! — Are not these men guilty of treason — they certainly are of false pretense ? The history of Helper is well known by the Avriter. It is not true that he stole money from any man, no man in Korth Carolina ever trusted him out of sight. The negroes stolen by him may be count- ed in one district, in Canada, by dozens. New Yoek City 57 If Helper were to write another '"crisis"' and tell the New Yorkers that their throats ought to be cut — and offer as a reason — that'the city was more like Sodom than any city on the globe, ho might sell his trash, but the smell of tar under his nose, would admonish him that his health re- quired his absence from the scenes of his villainy. Has he not done enough to be entitled to his walking ticket ? Conserva- tives will answer ? If revolutionists will pay for 100,000 copies of revolutionary — infiammatory — falsehoods — the vilest attacks upon one of the largest interests in the world — a con- densation of lies so arranged, as to cheat uninformed men — lies well calculated to raise in the face of sectional warfare the knife to the throat of every planter — lies that will in this contest turn republicans into abolitionists— lies that will make, where believed, an enemy to the South in every 'reader of its vnlgar insults — then adieu to peace — adieu to property — adieu to all that has made the country glorious and happy. One word to Union saving men. "We are at work without reward, and ask nothing of our party. If our sentiments are approved, will you do something toward sending the antidote where the poison is now curdling the blood of freedom — paralyzing the heart that may at any moment throb for the last time? ■We say without reserve — and we say in sor- row — our leisure has allowed us to look at the thirty-two '■'■ disunited''' states — and we 58 GcTDE Book to say •wonnds hare been inflicted on the Con- Btitiition which republicans can not— repub- licans will not — repiiblicans do not wish to heal.
