ABOLITION INTOLERANCE.
County
Committee.


There can be but one opinion among SEN
sible men in relation TO the institution of
slavery. 1t is in every point of view dread
full curse, whitening TO national morals,
strength and prosperity. All, even multi
tudes of Shareholders themselves, would unite
in any practical plan for its overthrow.
But until the enfuriates who now lead on
in the cause OF abolition. cease their i'm
practicable and dangerous manoveurinss,
nothing effectual can be done. Every sensi
BILE man is disguised with the iashness and
folly of their schemes, and the scrdid mo-
tives which seem TO actuatc their leaders.
They openly declare themselves diSIoyal TO

disruption would not inevitably fasien slave

our country forever. whose emancipation
they pretend TO desire. At recent meeting

the Apostles, who found slavery rife in the
world, prescribed no such condition of saliva

South who are compelled by the laws and
the strongest dictates of humanity to retain
the slaves until they can be emancipated
without violating either, is such outrage upon
the mild and tolerate christianity we profess,
and the spirit ofthe age in which we live.
