THE CONSEQUENCES OF DOING
RIGHT.

There is a large-a very large class of peo-
pie, who, when asked to do what they ac-
knowledge to be right, are seriously alarmed
lest the consequences may be evil. They are
firmly persuaded that a sweet fountain NAV
send forth bitter water, that thorns NAV be
gathered of grapes, and thistles of figs. Not
Wlthstanding the experience of thousands of
years to the contrary, the majority of men
have got into the idea that evil will result
from doing that which is right. Instance:-
Most men acknowledge that slavery is a very
great evil, one which they would be clad to
see abolished, in saying which they admit
that it would be right to abolish it. But
but they are afraid that this, that, and the 9TH
er bad consequence will result from its aboli-
ton! ''Nhat will you do with the slave!'-
just as if there would be less work for them
to do after, than before freedom! The aboli-
ton of slavery will not diminish the amount
of labor to be done; it will only change the
condition of the workmen, and fit them for
doing it better, and more advantageously.-
True, the relative position being changed, it
will be a matter attended with some difficult
ty for a while for those who were masters and
slaves, each to conform to their changed re-
lations. Just so, every man who undertakes

to which he has been loug accustomed, to
another. But this is by no means an evil.
We observe in the report of a Peace meet
ing lately held in England, that the same OBJ
lection is there urged against the abolition of
war. Men acknowledge that wal is an evil,
aud ought to be abolished, but-Jut .'what
will you do with the soldiersl' The an
swer that is given to this by one of the
speakers at that meeting, is so p~ertiuen Mt to
the kindred objection urged against the aboli-
ton of slavery, that we copy it.
"When it was announced the other day

Martin Luther could not tell what was to be-
come of the monks, friars, and priests, when
ne carried out his reformatiou-but he, too,
set his truth down, boldly, and feared not the

the less time upon the steam engine, because
they knew that its invention would put aside
stage coaches and all the parties EMPLOYED
upon them. The astronomers were not de-
tered In their sublime work because the old
prophetic almanacs, and those who dealt in
them would have their trade DESTROYED; thew

did so, and left it to do its work. And SO

nothing to do with these or with the trumpet

It is unpleasant to Us to remind, writers, the twentieth time, that inc Banner is not an arena for individual controversy especially between Democrats. Heretofore we have maintained iaviolate, the consistency of it's policy in this respect; and would desire to do so still. But as lodg- mant of opposing forces has been effected in our columns, during our absence, we must, even accommodate them, temporarily, as we best can; enjoining it upon them, however, to be as cool and discreet as possible, and not force us to exclude them for want of due decorum

IL is that a Convention should not be held because 1t would be un- just and disrespectful to Gov Yell. If such an argument be the candid expression of the writer's friendship to Gov. Yell, it is a poor evidence of Democracy; for the welfare of the party is paramount to the interest of any individual, or the respect that may be due him. f, on the contrary, it be only rase, to use a profsssioa of friendship not felt, for that gentleman, as a means of defeating q Convention, it eyinccs q want of candor, as disfepuable to the writer, as t is unjust to
