INWHICH MUCH OF THE FALSE PHILANTHROPY AND MAWKISH SENTIMEN- IT IS MOREOVER SHOWN THAT THE ASSOCIATION OF THE WHITE 18 THE APPOINTED ORDER OF GOD, AS SET FORTH IN THE BIBLE, AND CONSTITUTES THE BEST SOCIAL TRUE PRINCIPLE OF REPUBLICANISM. BY A SOUTHERN CLERGYMAN. HAMBURG, S. C. PRINTED BY ROBINSON AND CARLISLE. 1851. TO THE READER. This Pamphlet contains a review of Mr. Clay's "Letter on Emancipation and strictures on Mr. Campbell's "Tract for the people of Kentucky" These ǝnemies of the South threw their mischievous productions before the country during the canvass in Kentucky, for a Convention to alter the Constitution of that State. Their professed object was to effect the abolition of slavery in Kentucky. The author answered them because he conceived, that while each pretended to write for the people of Kentucky, and in reference to slavery in that State, both made a general attack upon the Institution of slavery everywhere, but more especially, as existing in the Southern States of this confederacy. He now presents these answers to the public in pamphlet form, because he desires to cast the mite of his influence into the scale of Southern Rights at this crisis, and hopes this humble tract vill assist Southerners to form correct views of their rights, and of the rectitude of their Institution as appointed of God and sustained by the Bible. The letter on emancipation fell into my hands in the spring of 1849, and the Review was written and published in the Augusta Constitutionalist, in May, and was copied and circulated in Kentucky, during their Convention canvass. The Millennial Harbinger of May, 1849, containing Mr. Campbell's Tract for the people of Kentucky, was handed me about the middle of June, by a friend, who had read the Review of Mr. Clay, requesting me to answer Mr. Campbell ; accordingly, in the midst of absorbing engagements, these strictures were written, and a rough draft mailed to an Editor in Kentucky, which either miscarried or did not arrive in time for circulation, previous to their Convention election, and they failed to be published. The piece has been read to some half dozen persons, all of whom have expressed high approbation of it, as containing a useful defence of the Institution of slavery and worthy of publication. The style may be condemed by some as being rather sarcastic, and the writer may be blamed for impugning the motives, especially of Mr Clay. The course since pursued by him in the American Congress must, however, convince every Southerner that Mr. Clay's object is to reach the Presidency by making the degradation of the whole South, the stepping stone to his elevation. Hence, he volunteered his services to the ebolitionists, to lead in planning and carrying out those measures of public plundering and robbery, which have under the dedelusive name of compromise given to the North, the whole of the public Territory and put the South into a predicament, where she must either leave the Union or be ruined. He has within this year, having the same object (the white house, in view, labored in Congress to carry, by the abolition majority, the measure of establishing a line of Steamers between the United States and Africa, ostensibly to enable the abolition government of this country, to purchase and sendito Africa, the slaves o the South (to be purchased, however, by taxing the owners to pay themselves): The only practical result of which line would be to afford the abolitionists facility in stealing our slaves and ridding themselves of them by shipping them to Africa, at our expense. We think the cloven foot of the traitor to the South, has been so distinctly stuck out in the whole of Mr. Clay's course, as to be discerned and re |
