‘were already written to be.presented to this, next

made stronger by his correction of a slight mistake
of ours, o in which o we understood him to* say he came’

hitst. he is neStfonaT. Secondly, he is agitating
tjie slavery question. 0 Thirdly, by this sectional ag

olflectionable in one of t®e points which yjaltes Lin

It has unfprtimately’become the habit of the
South to revile and persecute its true friends at
tlie nortV and we have no doubt this has had
no small part in lessening the number of our
friends rti that section of the Union’, and bring*
in* the country t© its present deploraliltf condi
tion. . In vifcw of.our own policy—or rather the
policy of* tsu 1 Democratic majority ♦-how can we
expect a different state Vs things ? •
. Mover before has there been a more triking
CKhibitiqp of this ingratitude and fatal policy, 1
than the cou*se of the sececfmg wpig of the
Democratic party in the pending presidential
contest. The*Union lijket happens to be”a lifln
in tlfc path of this party, and straightway all
the batteries of vituperation and detraction are
opened upon .the noble statesm*aen who compose
it. Joljn Hell, a southern man, a large* slavo*-,
holder, and the ablest champiwn of tlie institu- •
tidi\of slavery flint has spoken in (Mngross for
a quarter of a century, is shamelessly denounced’

do nyt in their hearts believe tlgmi, ahd we re
joice to see that the* slaiftier is recoiling upon
the heads of its authors. Mr. Everett^ though
being a northern man. twid less knowfi Jo ilie

man, whom e\*cry American should he proud to

tiopist, a faifatic and a traitor, and merc’lessly
held up to the scorn and hatred of the southern
people? \\’hat a shiime upon hqmainr.y Itself !
These revilers.of. Mr. Everetf, who arc, for the
most’ part, the* suppliant tools of ptyty, ready

We l ave but one word mure*to acid. It has
bean asked, from a'distinguished source, and
flne which Imd.ti*) much of candor and truth to
enter the list of Mr* EvereStVreVtlers. Why it
was that be had ifever raised his voic® in rebuke 1
;of the vile famjticisui of the Norrti. VVc have
no doubt that the quest iuu was aske'd honestly,
b'ljt in ignorance of thfe course of Mr. Everett
j tor many, year* past, and we answer it with
* equal cwndor. We make no exception when we,
say, that no man ’at the North, of apy party, has
;’so often a’nj so eloquently raised his voice and
rebuked the fell spirit of anti-slavery as Mr.
Eyerett. • Though’ entirely* withdrawn frotn
public life,” he has hardly written a letter for
pubTieatton, or madft a speech on political af
fairs, in which tlic.g’rcuit moral pflwer- of his
detractor and his matchless elocftiunce were not
brought, in the languag®of earnest entreaVy j

turbitpces. . His great oititiyn ft.n Washington,
which he lot? pronounced ainidst the p audits
of his cojintrytnen. from Maine tcrGeorgia, con
tains a rebuke and appeal to Which ImmtMi lan
