THE FANATlClSM OF ABO-


ing their ruin at a rapid rute. Their
objects are set forth in their own Ian
guoge without concealment or re-
morse. They are so %traitorous to
what has commonly been cnunied
true patriotism and Americanism, as
to call loudly for the rebuke OF the
considerable of all parts. Their grand
motto. as blazed forth in their adver-
lisements, is, mo union with slave
holders" This is the badge OF the
Anti.Slavery Society. Its objects
may be gathered from the mouths OF
their speakers. We propose to spe-
city a few of these.
/. The grand object Of these ia
na,ics is avowed TO be ga DlSSO-
LUTON OF THE UNION" This
is emblazoned upon their banner. is
1t is often and unblushinsly avowed
by them. The value OF the Union
calculated at So cheap a rate that, to
accomplish their purposes, they
would not hesitate TO tear it asunder.
What more detestable object than
this? But the arguments for its pre-
servation are almost inwoven IN eve.
ry patriotic American mind; 1t is
our security agains, internal and OK
ternal foes; under it the nation has
become what it is. Those who de.
llberately seek to break it up deserve
to he looked upou as guilty Of trea-
o 10 the great cause OF freedom.
And such are those who join with
these pioneer fanatics, hold council
with them, allow their names to be
associated with them at their public
meetings, and thus promote this de-
tes,able work. But charge them
with aiming at it, and they deem the
charge libellous. Why then do they
ccuntenance the men that 20 for it,
WHY not come out OF their ranhs7-
Why do not such leave to those real

9. As auxiliary to the dissolution
of the Uaion, the abolitionlsts de-.
clare their objects to be REVOLU-l
TlONARY: THEY MEAN, BY FAC OR
TO OVERTHROW THE
CONSTITUTION. Now q revolu
tionary movement is a civil war
movement. In its prosecution it
would turn our now peaceful fields
fields Of blood; it would array
son against father, brother against
brother. in deadly strife. 1t is only
when a people are obliged to main
tain what is dearcr than life, that
such a movement is justifiable. ~
When we look upon u condition
as a nation, and sec progress l. pien-
" OH every side-tne rights of the
nation secured-it is hardly possible
to look with calmness upon the mad
less Of such a movement now. Who
in his right mind car go for it!
