Causes are in operation addressing them
selves not only to the consciences and
pride, but to the fears Of massacre and
violence, and the cupidity of slavehoid-
ers which are rapidly undermining this
rotten and disgraceful institution, without
resorting to measures of violent and sud-
den overthrow, naturally resulting in an
archy, blood and disunion. Notwith-
standing many wrong measures which
have hitherto blocked up the way, gradu-

the line of demarkation between the slave
and non slaveholding states. The black
tide of slavery is sweeping along towards
Texas, carrying on its bosom the innu-
merable victims of the accursed institu.

cipated on the plains of Texas and Mex
leo.
In the mean time we have the utmost
confidence in the potency of public opin-
ion against slavery, which owing to the
unrelenting war which the wing party
have waged against it, is gradually produ-

strong manifestation of opposition to the
Dist rule which it is believed will be very
soon expunged. This state of public
sentiment will be more and more cher
ished, until in the district of Columbia,
and the territories, abolition will triumph,
sure precursor of the extinction of slave
ry in the states which hold over it an ex-
elusive jurisdiction. Without meaning TO
be responsible for all the views taken by
the writer, we commend it to the careful
perusal of our readers as presenting some
new aspects to this su beet highly wor-
thy of attention.
