The above precious moro -Gu is from that nosl

We did not know before, and probably our read
ers never were aware of the fact, until informed in
the above paragraph, that the aboitiOnsts have had
their own way, unchecked for these ten years past
That time is not yet but trust that by the help OF
such efforts as the Express and kindred prints put
forward the day is not far distant, when our repnb-
lican form of government, which Is based upon the
principle, that all men equal before the law, as
they are equal before God, shall be administered in
its purity.
The Union Safety Committees may amuse them
selves with the notion that their measures TO ti

the work blotting out of the national character the
foul disgrace of chatte slavery, but every day and
every hour gives new strength to the hosts of free
DOM
Deepin the popular heart grows the sentiment, that
all men are, by the God of nature, endowed witt
the right to their liberty. The anti-savery agitation
grows now as it always .has done, by the efforts o
those who attempt to put ii down. The past year
which has witnessed more determined and syste
matte efforts the part of the slaveocracy and thei
friends sustain the darling institution, has witnessed
more rapid growth aud development ofths anti sa
wvery sentiment of the country, than any ten year
that have passed, since the formation of the Fedora
governmet.

Freedom through this fair land, but it will ere long
find out its mistake. The souls of men who till tn
fields, and cat down the forests, who build houses an
weave cloth, are not subjected to the sordid nhu
ences which eat out the manhood of those, who i
large cities thrive upon the toll of others, and VIII
only look at humanity at large, as so many beasts
burden made to carry and fetch for them. And $

Southern ChivalTy.

The following from the Savanna Georgian,
exhibits the determined spirit of slavery, to
maintain ITSELF or ruin the nation. They pro-
nose to abolish the interstate slave. trade, in
order to perpetuate the system. Maryland,
Delaware, and Kentucky, must retain their
present slaves, with all their increase and the
New Slave States of course, must so to Africa
for their supply. The next thing if possible
would be the open establishment Of Cuban
Baracoans in Texas, Southern California and
New Mexico. For we presume the chivalry
have no idea of going to work themselves, oil
checking the population of their new slave
holding territories. We lope they will sue
coed in this measure of theirs, that tho trade
may be interdictcd between the States. Th'
prediction of the Yirginon will soon be verified
and "Slaves will advertise for runaway mas
tcrs."
ave must compel them 10 remain, for al
coming time, united in u common cause wIll
us, hy tgaliiRg up their slaves within thel

no outlet in this direction

those further North, our FOES. The strength
of our opponents is already sufficiently great;
surely we should not, by our folly, make it
more overwhelming.
"And the earlier the States above men
toned nre informed that they, no more than
those South of them, can erer escape from
slavery, the better for them and for U.S.
When convinced of this, they will the more
rendily take concerted action with their slave
holding sister States, for the protection of All

the doom of every community in which il
exists. They now show themselves quite
too willing to concede to Northern demands,
believing that when the erd day comes, it
will come for Others not themselves. Let us
convince them that for veal or for woe, for
the present and Il future, now aud forever,
our lot must be theirs, aud our doom their
fate.

them to keep their slaves within their own
