Abolitionists.
THEIR PRINCIPLES IN REFERENCE TO SLAV
ERY ANI) THE CONSTITUTION.
Politicians and others, for the last twenty
five or thirty years, have had a great deal to
say of the reckless, unreasonable and uncon
stitutional principles of the abolitionists. Al
most as a matter of course they have not al
ways ct^fined themselves to the truth on this
subject, more than upon other matters which
have been discussed under the influence of
heated partisan feelings; nor has the truth al
ways been applied to the right kind of per
sons.
If abolitionists feel that their principles have
been misrepresented, and an undeserved odium
brought upon them, they must remember that
sucli is tlie common lot of those whose views
on moral subjects are in advance of their gen
eration, and especially is calculated to disturb
the settled order of things. They may consid
er, also, that the unprejudiced judgment of
succeeding generations will lie likely to ac
cept what is true, and reject only their errors.
It is doubtful if a large portion of the present
generation are not without any definite knowl
edge of the principles advocated by the abo
litionists of thirty years since, and up to the
present time. Amid the smoke and confusion
of conflict, the position of combatants is not
always understood.
There have beeu three distinct classes of ab
olitionists.
1. That represented by W. L. Garrison,
Wendell Phillips, <f-c.
2. Those represented by Gerrit Smith, and
Wm. Goodell.
3. Those connected with tile old Liberty
party, so called, with Mr. Birney for its first
Presidential candidate.
These all agreed that slavery, or the holding
of men as chattels, was morally wrong,' as
well as injurious to all the interests of the
country; that consequently it was the duty of
individual owners to emancipate; that slave
States ought to abolioli slavery by so chang
ing their laws that they should protect all men
in their personal rights as men.
But they have differed in regard to the con
stitutional powers of the Federal government
iu relation to it.
Mr. Garrison and his followers have main
tained, in common with pro-slavery politicians
and jurists, that the Constitution was intended
to sustain slavery, and have, on this ground,
called it “a covenant with death, and agree
ment with hell,” that it ought to lx- abolished
iu order to abolish slavery. They refused to
vote or hold office under it. For a time they
were apparently as bitterly opposed to the vot
ing Liberty party as they were to slavery itself.
Mr. Garrison’s anti-Bible, anti-Church, and
anti-Sabbatl) principles need not be consid
ered in this connection, though they doubt
less gave a pungency to his warfare on the
Liberty party, who generally rejected his views
on these subjects, and at the same time it gave
pro-slavery religionists of the New Vork Ob
server school, an opportunity, of which they
were not slow to avail themselves, to charge
infidelity on all abolitionists. The numbers
who held with Mr. Garrison iu the matter ol
voting were comparatively few.
The party represented by Messrs. Smith
audGoodell, and who claimed the name of
Radical Abolitionists,
held directly the reverse of the Garrison party
in reference to the Constitution. They main
tained that it is, and was iustended to be, an
anti-slavery instrument; that it gave the
Federal Government plenary authority to
abolish slavery in every State by legislative en
actment. As a political party, distinct from
the Liberty party, they polled only a few thou
sand votes in the whole country.
THE LIBERTY PARTY
Comprised the greater part of earnest abo
litionists. They maintained that in spirit the
Constitution is anti-slavery; that what were
called the “compromises” of the Constitution
were not intended to make the Federal gov
ernment responsible for the existence of sla
very, or commit it in any way to its support
On the other hand, they admitted that it gave
the Federal Government no authority to abol
ish, or interfere with i*. in the States,that being
• a right reserved to the people of the States
But they maintained that the administratior
of the government since about lsgo, had beei
more and more in favor of slavery, that this
action of the legislative, executive and judicia
departments, and the treaty making power
bad been prostituted to serve the interests o
the slaveholding oligarchy, .and that all the
was contrary to the spirit, and, often to the let
ter of the Constitution;—and contrary to tlx
intention of the fathers who ordained it. The;
maintained that not only justice, but the spiri
and intention of tbe Constitution detnandot
that the Federal Government, should adininis
ter it in the interests of liberty, whereon they
! hud the right to act all;—that in all places
| where the Constitution gave Congress exclu
sive jurisdiction slavery should be prohibited.
They maintained that if the government had
j been administered by men who sympathiz
[ ed with the sentiments of its founders, the cx
! tension of slavery would have been nipped in
j the bud, and the slave states long ago have
1 deemed it their interest to abolish it, as was
expected by tile fathers who ordained the con
stitution they would do.
That there have been rash men among this
class of abolitionists, and that they have some
times made rash speeches, will not lie denied.
But that, as a party, they have wished to break
down the Constitution, or desired the govern
| ment to take unconstitutional action, there is
no evidence, unless it is unconstitutional to
differ in opinion from such men as Judge
Taney and James Buchanan, as to what the
Constitution demands. Coming generations
will be able to decide as to which party were
the best friends to the constitution and their
country. But the present generation is very
much under the influence of those pro-slavery,
religious demagogues, who have attributed Mr.
Garrison's unli-biblc views to abolitionists as a
body, and those political demagogues who
have done the same thing in regard to his an
ti-constitutional view's.
He must have been gratified to see bis ene
mies play ing into his hands with such zeal and
■ perseverance. J*
“Suppress the Abolitionists.”
This is the cry of some people at the present
time, but it is an exceedingly absurd cry, and
this is so well shown up in a late number of
i Harper’s Weekly, that we copy therefrom as
| follows. Says the writer:
“hot us suppress the Abolitionists,” cries
tile slack-wilted orator, “and the rebellion will
end 1” Of course it will, you dear soul; and
if all your fellow citizens had been of your
calibre and kidney, there would have been no
j rebellion at all. if Hampden and Ids friends
cry out against ship-money,'’ England would
quietly have submitted to the tyranny of the
Stuarts. If Otis and Patrick Henry lut'd shout
ed, "Hurrah for King George and the stamp
act r’ there would have been no bloody Revo
lution. If Mirabeau and the French people
hud bellowed, "Hurrah for starvation: aristo
crats forever!” all the trouble in France would
have speedily ended. To be sure eve y right
would have been annihilated, every liberty de
stroyed. and a few rich and remorseless people
| would have governed France; but there would
j have been no difficulty, except moral rot and
' general national decay.
"Let us supress the Abolitionists!" Rut
suppose you begin at the begiuing. First sub
due the common sense of the people of tiie
country: and then you may subdue those who
inlluence it. It is not what you call, with an
| amusing persistence, Abolitionism, which
caused tile war. but the opening the eyesol the
| people so that they saw it. The people of this
; country know perfectly well that slavery is at
j the bottom of this rebellion. Iftliere bad been
j no slavery there would have been no war;just
as there would have been no Abolitionism.
The temperance movementspriugs from druuk
eness: and when a drunken man tries to kill
his wife,don’t you think the teetotalers are res
j ponsible for it ?
Slavery was trying to kill the country. It
had almost succeeded. ‘Watch! watch!'shout
ed the Abolitionists. Slavery, maddened that
its crime was discovered, shot and stabbed
right and left. “There! there!” cry the seusi
. ble Wieklitfe and Company— “this conies of
calling the watch! Why the devil can’t you
I hold your tongues! Let us suppress these
fellows that cry watch! watch! and all will be
quiet again.
Certainly: a dead dog or a dead nation are
] both perfectly quiet. A nation of freemen
throttled, with its own consent, by a slave svs
tem like ours, is the deadest and meanest of
all dead dogs!
What miai.i. be done with the Bi.acks.
, The question, “ What shall be done with the
blacks?” is beginning to answer itself. It is
j reported from New Orleans that recently a
| “ delegation” of slaves from the plantation of
j a Mr. Mauusell White, one of the oldest and
wealthiest planters in a river county, below N.
Orleans, applied to Gen. Sltepley for advice, in
I his character as Military Gov. of the State.—
The correspondent of the New York Times
says:
“These men informed the General that they
came lor freedom; they said their fellow serv
ants ill other places were all leaving their mas
ters, and that they wished also to improve
their condition, but that it was not clear to
their minds how was tile liest wav to do so.—
Thev emphatically said, however, that tlicv
ilnl not intend to laiior much, if they could
help it, without remuneration, and they con
cluded their request* and protests by asking
that, if they remained peaceably at home, they
might have fair wages secured to them for their
services. Gen. Shepley treated the matter with
great consideration, and alter conferring w ith
Gen. Butler, permission was granted to these
meu to make terms w ith their master, who
consented to have a partner in the transaction,
and these men have gone to work, not as
slaaes, hut as hired men.”
The I’besident among the Rebel
Wounded.—While on Ids recent v'sit to Gen.
McClellan’s army. President Lincoln visited
some of the rebel wounded. The visit is tints
described:
“On entering tin* hospital, the sad scenes
that Inllow battle met the eye. Mr. Lincoln,
■ alter looking around, remarked to the Conleil
| crate wounded that it they had no objection
he would he pleased to take them by the hand.
The solemn obligations, said he, which w'c owe
; to our country and posterity, compel the ptos
! edition of lids war: and it follows that many
j on both sides must become victims, and though
they are our enemies through uncontrollable
circumstances, lie bore them no malice, and
could take them by the hand with as much
sympathy and good tccling as if they were
i brothers. After a short silence those of the
Confederates who could walk came forward,
and each of them silently shook hands with
j the President. Mr. Lincoln and Gen. McClel
lan went to the bedsides of those who were
unable to rise and cheered them, saying that
every care should In* bestowed upon them to
ameliorate their sufferings. It was a touching
: scone, and there was not a dry eye among the
I wounded.”
The letter which (Jen. Kearney wrote
to a friend, last summer, from the Peninsula,
has been published. Those w ho have been in
I strumental in its production, are certainly
i very injudicious friends of the lamented Gen
ertil. It has lieou brought to the light for the
purpose, it is alleged, of proving McClellen’s
iiioompetencv. hut its wholesale attacks upon
Sumner, Hooker, Porter. Keyes,Franklin, ajul
indeed, upon all of his prominent brother offi
cers. proves that it is but the hasty complaint
of an impetuous iiiiin, laboring under some
momentary depression of spirits, or fancied
slight. Kearney probably had no intention of
its ever meeting the public ga/e. as it is ad
dressed to a female friend, and savors nothing
of a calm criticism on the merits of those
whom it discusses.—| Hartford Post.
_
t'jf=“The officers in the army who were
i “ going to resign,” if the President took any
i steps in the direction of emancipation, have
not yet Jurued up. On the contrary, it seems
difficult to find those who w ithhold dieir ap
: probation from the proclamation. It is hut
justice to say that these threats were made,
. not by the officers, but in the semi-secession
1 newspapers, with whom the wish was father to
the thought. [Providence Journal.
Naturally hard to tell the Truth.
“Timothy Titcomb" has a keen scalpel, and
he thus dissects men on the subject of truth
telling:—I have known eminent men who had
not the power to state a fact in its whole vol
ume and outline, because, llrst, they could not
comprehend it perfectly, and, second because
their power of expression was limited. The
lenses by which they apprehended their facts
were not adjusted properly, so they saw every
thing with a ldtir. Definite outline, clearly
cut edges, exact apprehension of volume and
weight, nice measurement of relations were
matters outside of their observation and expe
rience. They bad broad minds, but bungling;
and their language was no better than their
apprehensions—usually it was worse, because
language is rarely as definite as apprehension.
Men rarely do their work to suit them,because
their tools are imperfect. There are men in
all communities who are believed to be honest,
yet whose word is never authority upon any
subject. There is a flaw or a warp somewhere
in I heir perceptions, which prevents them from
receiving truthful impressions. Everything
comes to them distorted, as natural objects are
distorted by reaching the eye through wrinkled
w indow glass. Some are aide to apprehend a
fact and state it correctly, if it have no direct
relation to themselves; but the moment their
personality, or their personal interest, is in
volved, the fact assumes false proportions and
false colors.
I know a physician whose patients are al
ways alarmingly sick when lie is first called to
them. As they usually get well, I am bound
to believe that he is a good physician; but 1
am not bound to believe that they are all as
sick at the lieginiiing as he supposes them to
lie. The first violent symptoms operate upon
his imagination and excite his fears, and his
opinion as to the degree of danger attaching
to the diseases of his patients is not worth
half so much as that of any sensible old nurse.
In fact, nobody thinks of taking it at all; and
those who know him, and who hear his sad
representations of the condition of his pa
tients, show equal distrust of his word and
faith in his skill, by taking it for granted that
they are in a fair way to get well.”
A Beautiful Custom,—Among the French
settlers in Canada, on the lower St. Lawrence,
is a very peculiar custom,—something like the
golden marriage in Germany.
“Whenever a venerable couple have trod the
path of life together for fifty years, they sum
mon to a banquet under their roof, from every
quarter of the land, all their children and
grand-children, in whose presence is re-per
formed the ceremony that made them man
ami w ife half a century before, when the fea-.t
ing ami dancing, which continues for two or
three nights together, bespeaks a most heart
fed happiness as well as gratitude; and at the
expiration of every live years from that period,
until separated by death, the aged pair contin
ue to repeat tin* ceremony of publicly pledging
their vows of fidelity and truth.”
Change of Sentiment. The New Orleans
Delta contains the following information,
which chimes with the reformation progress
ing in North Carolina:
“Twenty guerillas from the country above,
on the right bank of the river, came down to
the city last evening on the steamer Iberville,
and voluntarily gave themselves into the hands
of the authorities here. They had become
disgusted witli the life of outlawry which they
had been leading, were ragged and dirty, and
poorly armed. An officer w ho came down up
on the same boat w illi them, says they inform
ed him that there were hundreds more that
would make tlu ir escape the first opportunity,
having, like themselves, Iwen made to realise
that ‘the way ot the transgressor is hard.”
Some of them expressed a desire to take the
oath of allegiance and return to loyalty.”

TODD'S LIY SOLIS
H A I DYE!
mm: market has been flooded for vears w ith differ
i X out articles called Hair Dyes, which have never
| satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The >e
PLrs I’LTRA has been reached at la*t in TODD’S
! HAIR DYE. and the article has given entire satis
faction to every person who has used it. It contains
no injurious ingredients, and gives the hair a beauti
ful rich brown or black color. Directions tor using
—which are very simple—accompany each bottle.
One superiority of Todd's Lux Solis Hair Dye over
all others is, you do not have to cleanse the hair or
wash it before or after using the dye, and there is but
I one kind to be used, and that can be put on the same
i as oil and water, without any trouble, uitliko all oth
j er dyes that have two or three different kinds to be
* applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly
adapted for coloring ladies’ hair, because you do not
have to wash out the dy e after putting it oil. Unlike
j all other dyes, it will color loug hair, which other
I dyes cannot do. Give this new article a trial, as we
I know you will use no other after once using this,
