The N. Y. Eve. Post of Saturday copies an article from the Albany Evening Journal, of which the following is a material part : "Taking advantage of the cringing, craven, inglorious spirit manifested by Northern politicians, the South is setting up claims and avowing sentiments which would not have been tolerated for a moment at any other period in our history. Finding us ready to go any length, the editor of the Washington Telegraph openly asserts, 'as A MAN, A CITIZEN AND A CHRISTIAN, THAT AFRICAN SLAVERY IS RIGHT; THAT THE RELATION OF MASTER AND SLAVE, AS IT NOW EXISTS IN THE SLAVE-HOLDING STATES. IS THE BEST EXISTING ORGANIZATION OF CIVIL SOCIETY!' And yet this doctrine, at war, as it is, with every principle of civil liberty, and every impulse of humanity, goes forth among the people without rebuke!" With what justice do the Eve. Post and Eve. Journal assume that the language of the Washington Telegraph is the language of "the South?" Is it not perfectly well known that the Telegraph is the organ of a mere faction —a desperate, despairing faction, which has no hope except in agitation, if not disunion—and that its aim is to excite the North and the South, by every species of inflammatory misrepresentation, to feelings of alienation and hostility towards each other? Do not the Post and E. J. know that it is the vocation of that incendiary and profligate paper to "fan the embers" of excitement, and that it has seized upon the inflammable and dangerous question of slavery, because it hopes thus to work up each section, by gross misstatements of the views and intentions of each, to hatred and violence, and finally to disunion? Is it not a libel upon the great body of the patriotic and intelligent citizens of "the South," to ascribe to them the ultra and extreme language of a print. destitute alike of character and veracity, and repudiated by a large majority of the Southern people? As well may the ultraism and bluster of the Eve. Post be taken as the language and views of "the North." We cannot doubt that both at the North and the South the character and designs of these agitators are justly appreciated; and that their schemes of mischief will be frustrated, through the good sense, just feeling, and abiding love of country, which characterize the great body of the citizens of both sections, and of all sections of our common country. Meanwhile, it is a matter of justice to add, that the assertion of the Eve. Journal, which the Eve. Post is so prompt to transfer to its columns, that a " cringing, craven and inglorious spirit has been manifested by the Northern politicians" on this subject, (and so far as the remark is designed to apply to the friends of the Administration, upon any subject,) is destitute of truth, and is thrown out here obviously in the same spirit that dictated the intemperate declarations of the organ of Nullification at Washington -Albany Argus. The profligate Star says "ONLY BY LAW -The Albany Argus takes ground against any legislation to arrest the course of the Abolitionists. When, where, most veracious Jew? It is, of course, unnecessary to say that the assertion is the coinage of a disgraced and degraded mint -J.
