Oh, unhappy land, that has fanatics for preachers, and demagogues for lawgivers ! The roots of the tree which they water, reach down to hell. A sort oi pendulum politicians, they are the deserters of every party, as well as the caput mortuum of all. Let them be cauterized that the body poli- tic may resume a healthy tone. Until that is done, an eifort to accomplish any thing for the good of the country were vain as an attempt to still a commotion in the ocean by breathing on its surface. Had th...ey received at the outset the scorn of the good, like the scorpion confined within a circle of fire, they would have stung themselves to death. But, unfortunately, the union of the two in the North, pro- duced a rage of defamation and audacity of falsehood . Truth was outraged; lying became a sort of natural art. Reprove not the severity, but the lenity of my language. Did they not delight in murdering reputations, and mangling their carcasses with a hatchet? These flagellants were whipping their own enormities on the vicarious back of the slave- holder.
