of slaves were treated kindly; and generally there existed between
slaves and their possessors kind feelings, and strong attachments. It
is this attachment of slaves to their masters, that has frequently
frustrated the evil designs set on foot by intermeddling,
philanthropic cut-throats, _alias_ abolitionists.

Mrs. Stowe will probably learn when it is too late, that she cannot
work out the salvation of the slave population by misrepresenting
slaveholders,--by exciting sympathy in the North, and by arousing
feelings of wrath and defiance in the South. "The wrath of man worketh

Inspiration. Mrs. Stowe belongs to that faction in the North, long
known as the abolition party, and would not scruple to bring about the
emancipation of the slaves by any means, regardless of consequences.
She would not, I suppose, hesitate to force emancipation on the South,
at the point of the bayonet, regardless of the murders, rapines,
rapes--the indiscriminate butchery of unoffending women and
children--the overthrow of the Union, and the introduction of lasting
hates and civil wars, and the ultimate massacre and extinction of the
entire African race!! Great God, what atrocious crimes have been
perpetrated in the name of liberty!!! She does not, however, openly
advocate these extreme measures in her book, but there is,
nevertheless, a squinting in that direction in several places. In
inculcating resistance to the laws of her country, she is virtually
