Union neer the crisis of its motional dieicnities;
and presently it finds legit with Mr. QUINCY for I
heaviest out half the goodies, and bilis, to show I
how the sleveholders see to abolish slavery. One
would think the writer had not read the pamphlet

subject of Mr. QUlSrell Addles' is 0 The Nature
and Power of the Slave State% and the Dugs,
of the Free Stehle This is what the sged
patriot undertook to show, sad what he has shown,
according to the views which he bolds. Mr.
Qctscr is not se Abolitionist. Hs expressly dis-
dains the title in the pamphlet before no. He treats,
sot of the cooditioo of the negro, bat of the maid=
sad prospects of his oountry. He is a alines of a
sovereign State, which abolished slavery lag ago,
sad whin is we of a keratin of above thirty
sovereign States, which And themselves now se

thirty on States contain a poptiatkm of twenty-six
million. This popsiatisa is at present signing
under istelerabie oppremios from a mere risottos of
its number. The slanboiders an only between a
half sad a quarter el a million; and this number—
of when not more Asa oae thousand are believed
to be actin sad powmfal—eostrols the poli-

endertakieg was to show how it Guns to pan
that the power resides in the hands of so
insignificant a minority, sad what ought to be dose
to cheek the usurpation whisk should never have
been petmitted. He shows that the uncesstitatismal
admission of Louisiana into the Cain, by Southern
!striatum, was the fatal " sesespation* egaisst which
WASHINGTON had warned his country. He traces
the progress of the meenschment of the South upon
the rights of the North; he reign his readers to the
