1.-THE CousTRY Pass UNioN.-We have
never known the Country Press more zealonsly

mun6cence to the extinction Of slavery in the
British dominions. The Northern States Of
America have no such power Of altering the
institutions and the tenure of property in the

self has no such power; but il it had, and, be-
sides the power, lift had the will and the means
10 carry a general measure of abolition, we are
