The abolition ErcitemeH-Tla careful
observer of the expressions Of public sent-
lnent OH this subject cannot but feel the most
serious opprehensions for the consequences
OF the present excitement. When the peo-
pie of this city and ofthe other principal cities
and large towns of the non slave holding
states, came forward, with degree of IT,
nanimlty rarely witnessed on any great ques-
ton ofpubc policy, and made voluntary
declaration, OF their dlsapprobation Of any in
reference by the people Of these states or by
Congress, with the subject of slavery in the
states IN which it is authorized by law, there
was reason to hope that. the excitement on
tins subject might be quoted. So strong an
expression of the public sentiment among us,
against the measures Of the few abolitionists
which had caused so much uneasincsS at the
South, seemed to justify the belief that those
measures would be at once voluntarily aban-
doned, and also that the people of the South
would be entirely satisfied with this demon.

From the Wilmington, IN. CO. Press.

Our NORTHERN FRIENDs.-It must be
gratifying to the friends Of the Union, to OBJ
serve the readiness with which our northern
fellow. citizens have come forward to express
their adherence Of the proceedings Of the
nbolltionsts, and to sustain the South in her
efforts to preserve her Constitutional rights.
To us this is no matter of surprise. We
knew the character of the patriots Of that
region too well, to suppose that they would
ever countenance any measures that would
tend to dissolution of the federal govern
ment, or indulge in a hostility that never did,
~ fact, exist, except III the imagination of the
narrow minded and prcjndlccd among our
selves. The number of the latter is FORTH
nately, small. The number of those is also
small, who with the most black designs, play
upon the prejudlces and weaknesses of our
citizens, under pretence Of southern feeling
and patriotism; as if abuse and hatred Of
those who are Of the same household, who
worship at the same shrine, and who partici-
pate in the same communion. is evidence of
a love for the South. The abolitionists will
produce some good results, without any such
intention. The north and the south will
know each other better; and it is only neccs-
sary that this knowledge increase, that preju-
dice and animosity may decrease, and be
finally eradicated. The abolitionists, too,
will abandon their designs, either voluntarily
or by conpulsion; for it is among the impos-
sibities that this happy Union shall be dis
solved and this glorious republic nnnihiated,
on account of few ruffian-hoarted zcalots
and deluded and ignorant bigots.
