sbolitiouis,s North and south.

The Democratic Review for June has another of its characteristic onalaaghs upoa aboition.-- From il we quote the following sentences, believ- ing with the writer that |" The South should know just how the matter stands ;'
 "We do not speak unadvisedlY when we say thnt the Slave-Q Question, far from being put at rest, IS daily becoming moee and more the topic of discussion at the North. and in exactly these quarters whence the greatest mischief will arise. Those who tell ms that the '' Abolitiontsts' are but a feeble and insignificant body of fanatics whose numbers are stationary, fl not decreasing, premedlate deception. They know the contrary, and are, m truth, the very ones who intend to profit by theI growth of numbers. We rQay be accused ot wishing to reopen tie dispute which il Is imagined Congress has aiiayed. Would that tt rested with ns. It does not; nor with any one man, nor ten thousand The South should know just how the matter stands. It IS treaehery fa our southern friends, and a crime against truth and the republic, Ia conceal whabucan he guarded against only by being known"
 Some of the dongs of the abolitonis:s are thus boldly set forth:
 These " friends of the slave" as they are term cd, have organized themselves into a band of ne- gro thevesl and all the North well knows this, and other facts of which we speak. They have established vigilance committeeS' ln every large town and city, whoSe-luty Il IS instantly to notify each other of the arrival of Southerner with hts servants across the imaginary line Of freedom They have also imposed upon these committees the cheerful duty of doggng the footsteps of both masters and servants while they renian in order to seize the most favorable opportunity to hurry the slave by fraud or force, with hs free will or without t. from his owners hands They nave raised pefmant nt fund 10 support lecturers and other agents a. the North and West, and these are constantly employed, by stipulation and of ready will, m vlhiying the South and it's public nf and ell. IT truth and justice who has the courage to expose their faisehoods They have sent emlssaTies, white and black, into the border States secretly to entce slaves to escape, and to ad them with advlee and weapons of defence. Ibey have pub iished masses of inccndfaIy Autographs, waod- cuts, and illustrated pamphlets. aud distributed them by stealth to slaves along the whole course of t,e Ohio and Mssissippl. and in ali the Atlan- tic ports, and inland towns, wherever the oppor- tunlty of travel has occurred! They have put themselves into close communication with the black servants of northern hotels tn the cities and watc7ing places, so that theF surveillance over the movements of SoutheraeFs ls comfsletel They have, by these and numberless other methods, in the last twenty years, os1 maay thousand slaves to the southern planters, and by thus exaspeFat- Ing them, arraged portion 0f the pepublic agaIast another They have striven to carr this Hi-5iood into politics. and, III part succeeded I-- They raised storm which was like to have over wnelfned he country with des0laiioni And now, when wise law IS instituted to wall up one source oi danger, they have armed the ofe lgnor- ant and 6rutlSa portion of the native and runax ay negroes, and encouraged and llnpelled them to re- sist the execution of that law even to blood i-, And within few weeks, m large and opalcnt and enlightened city, have raised a mob of these human brutesf and violated the sanctty of a court of justice not municipal or provincial, bat a court called and held under the supreme authority of the republic p
