so well, that abstract hatred for one purpose, is pure love for another. Said Mr. S. A man might as well say, that abstractedly he hated murder, adultery, swearing, and stealing, but that he loved the murderer, adulterer, swearer, and thief. Away with northern Jesuitism, which is opposed to abstract slavery, but in favour of its continuance, and ready to kill any one who wishes to change the present posture of slavery, as it practically exists. Oh shame! hast thou not a new blush for such conscience-ruining sophistry?

The same ingenious and fatal distinction has been taken by the wretched metaphysicians, who are willing to barter American liberty to get gold and power, on the subject of free discussion the summer past.

Anti-abolitionists at the north say they believe in free discussion in the abstract, and will not allow it to be drawn in question. But this

means, as we find it interpreted and translated in the Dictionary of Daily Experience, that each man may discuss slavery, or any thing else, in the silent chamber of his own heart, but must not discuss it in public, as it may then provoke a syllogism of feathers, or a deduction of tar. An abolitionist may have the abstract right of discussion, but it must be disconnected with time and place, if a majority of his neighbours differ with him, there is no place where, or time when, that he may discuss. This abstract discussion requires an abstract place and abstract. time; the abstract place must mean the the solitude

of the wilderness, or loneliness of the ocean; and the abstract time must mean some portion of the past or future, as it is never the present.

The liberty of an abolition press is to be silent; the liberty of conscience for an abolitionist is to think to himself; or else to think like his slaveryloving neighbour, or stop thinking.

The threat of dissolving the union is the universal medicine for every political difficulty at the south. One day Georgia threatens the dissolution, on account of her Indian territory, gold mines, and state jurisdiction, and the missionaries; then again the poor union was to be dissolved by the postoffice robbing state of South Carolina, to vindicate the beauties of nullification.

Then again, this union was to have been dissolved in 1828, 1830, 1831, 1832. At four distinct periods within a short space, because the tariff laws were not made to suit certain slave states; but the noble union held together, we did not hear of a single rafter or brace flinching, in 1835. The union is to be again dissolved and charged in account current to abolition. The joke of it all is, that nothern men professed to be frightened to death every time a negro-driver cries “dissolve the union,—dissolve the union.” As well might a man who lived in a powder-house, every time he became angry call for firebrands?

Let southern men dissolve this union if they dare; slavery would then take care of itself, and its masters too, in one little month both would become extinct. No! oh! deceived northern man,

the southern man will be the last to dissolve this union, by it he expects to enjoy his slaves, without it he cannot one day. But the wily politician of the south has discovered the ghost that never fails to frighten the north, and the north has been kept in a political sweat for the last ten or twelve years, for

, fear the men, who could not exist as slave-holders without this union, would dissolve it.

It seems dissolution is threatened by the south, unless thirteen free states disfigure and disgrace their statute books with bloody laws to protect slavery, forbidding abolitionists to speak, write, or publish any thing against slavery, or petition for its abolition in the District of Columbia, under heavy penalties; the despotism of which laws would so far exceed any in Russia or Turkey, that Nicholas, and the Grand Seignor, would recoil with instinctive abhorrence, from so foul an insult to our common humanity. So it is not enough that eleven states must bend their backs under the shameful load of slavery; with statute books blushing for the wrongs done by man to man, which all the unfathomed waters of the great deep could not wash away; but the tongues of northern men, on the subject of slavery, must cleave to the roofs of their mouths, and the inditing hand be palsied in giving the world a history of the negroe's woes. My COUNTRYMEN, YE SONS OF THE PILGRIMS, THE TYRANT IS AT YOUR DOORS, LIBERTY IS BLEEDING, LIBERTY IS DYING, slavery has robbed you of the liberty of discussion, of conscience, and the press. Armed mobs are to do the work of the slave-holder, till the legislature obeys. his mandate

Then read from your own statute book your

doom;
your are a slave without his privilege! Had the
six hundred delegates, freemen, now before me,
been deterred from meeting this day, from fear, it

THAN IN VAIN, THAT A
WARREN FELL, A MONTGOMERY BLED, AND A LAW-

WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

RENCE EXPIRED.

You, for this moment, are the representatives of
American liberty, if you are driven from this sacred
temple dedicated to God, by an infuriated mob, then
my brethren, wherever you go, liberty will go,
where you abide liberty will abide, when you are
speechless, LIBERTY IS DEAD."
