ABOLITIONISM.

We make the following extract from Communi-
cation in late number of the Asheville Messenger,
Consolidation Sheet and of course bitterly opposed
to Mr.. Clingman:
IS 1t is strange that the intelligence Of the country
cannot fcresee the true of what is affecting the
institution of Slavery; that it is the general laws
OF the country, the infraction of the Federal Cons-
tuition, the Abolitonists of the North, but that ii
as The result 0f progress and tile spirit IF tile Sla
very must exist not exist in this country and that
must depend upon the moral influence in regard to it,
rather than any law that governs it, ard the interest
which 1t may be, in the progress OF time TO the slave
holder. Slavery is right that belongs exclusively
to the Staes and it may exist with some of the slave
holding States with profit, for century after it be-
comes Improbable to Others For instance, Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina cannot retain
slavery at this moment, with the profit of Geor
gia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, with their
productive soil and valuable staples, and in any event
the slavehoding States must soon enact prohibtory
laws against the transportation and migration of slaves
out of one State into another for sale: consequently
the slaves of each State will be confined their
territory. This stale Of things the establishment. e
Southern ConfederacY oOoun not ar0id, would the
old and ont slave States be benefited by the
change; and they may rest assured that the sympathy
of the fertile States of the Southwest, would never
be great to take upon them the burden of the
slave population of those sister States of the new
Government, because it had become Improbable and
valueless hence the importance that slavery should
exist and belong exclusively to the ghs of the States
TIE third enumeration Of the Federal census, will
take place before will become necessary for the
General Government to make some provision for the
colonization of the slaves and free persons of color in
the older slave States, unless before that time there
shall be great moral revulsion in the country in ia
vor of slavery. fits boundary must be extended, or il
exist beyond the period above stated, upon its
present territory. The two can only exist to-
gether in the relation of master and servant, and that
for the time only that the labor of the slave is prof.
table. 1t is therefore evident that this cannot be the
much longer, unless slave territory shall be
extended, when must the test in regard to slave
ry. 1t is not, will be in retaining slavery, but
in disposing of it after it shall become numerous
dangerous, and Improbable, then IL uU be yielded by
The States, and lie great Struggle aoK be in regard 10
