animate political parties, and take possession
of the public mind. Ii is becoming apparent
20 oil that there IS one question, which is the
question of the day, and which will thrust oil
other things aside until it is settled and that
IL is a question that duplicates the dearest
rights Of man, the most vital considerations,
the establishment of equal Justice, the entire
abolition of oil wrong. Before its increasing
influence, which is rising like the wind, all
mere political arrangements are beginning TO
hetray their weakness and inefficiency.-
There may be lull in the breeze at times,
and occasionally il may seem TO die wholly
away, bait IL only pauses to gain new strength
Ito blow with greater power. Political por-
ties watch for II, and trim their sails accord
ingly. We have seen the Wings claiming to
be Free Soilcrs, though they would not VEN
t,lre TO assume the name, or accept rs their
own the triumphs of Free Soil; and the
great Democratic Party, which has for the
most part ruled the country, has been broken
in two. Tue breach las been healed indeed,
after fashion, and with small honor; still,
although once so compact and complete in
lis organization, it shows marks of being
sorely weathcrbeaten. In and through all
the events which make up our political his
tory for the last few years, we may sec that

No power OH earth cnn stop it. To Aboli-
tonlsts this IL very plain. IL is plain TO every
man who seeks to see things rs they are
But II Is not PLAN to those who take counsel
only OF their own prcJudices and interests
1t is not plain to those who hold the small
taper OF their own pride Of opinion so close
TO their eyes, that their sight, dazzled and
blinded, extends only few inches. ShlL it
is growing palmer and palmer every day;
and the time will shortly come when il will
be so plain, that II will be palpablo to the
bllndest that II is the kingdom of God which
is coming, and that it as preposterous TO resist
II as TO attempt TO resist the law of gravita-
ton.
do not know, friends, whether you ever
grow weary and desponding, i do not see
why you should, amidst the numerous tokens
oi success which greet every step Of your
progress. Bjt when the heart that has been
touched with sense OF the wrongs Inflicted
upon Tie slave does grow weary and faint,
let u he strengthened anew TO its blessed
work ny the SIMPLE consideration which i
nave uieu 10 make prominent, VIZ that the
cause OF hoon.ion Is not OF mans devising.
