king of speeches, the singing of hymns, the
offering of prayers and "noise and confusion

great deal of labor, and considerable time to
complete the work so as to make it of use,
and it requires and demands the united eff
forts of every one interested, to push it for
ward. Now is the time, and the only time.
What is done, must be done quickly. Come
up then to the work, one and all. If We dc

the work goes on to completion; if we fail
here, the failure is complete.

FUNSY-The last Legislature altered the law
authorizing the Governor to appoint State Pris-
on Commissioner, and making it elective by them
selves-forgettng, however, to repeal that part of
the law which allows the Governor to remove that
officer. John Taylor was elected under the new
law, and proceeded forthwith to demand posses
sion from the old incumbent. Much to his sur
prise, however, he found the Governor had reno
we'd him, and rc-appointed the old officer. This
may appear to have been high-banded move on
the part of the Governor, but we have no doubt he
had abundant reasons for what he has DONE

Dy-The New York Mirror says, an abolition
ist cannot be gentleman" and to prove it, talks
in this wise:
'What then, is it to be an 'abolitionist?' 1t is
in the first place, to be traitor to the constitution
which recognises slavery 1t is to be yiolator of
the law enacted for the reclamation of fugitives
from service 1t is TO be an nstigator to servie
rebellion-a stealer of negroes-a disturber of the
peace-a promoter of bloodshed-a destroyer of
the Union of the states. Abolitionism leads di-
rectly to all these calamaties and there is no
cape from the issue Can the advocate of such
cause be a gentleman? We think not. Still less
can he be Christian"
Let us analyze this matter little closer Sla-
very is almost universally, north and south, ad-
mitted to be an erI and wrong. An Abolition
list is one who desires to abolish this el and wrong
ergo, to abolish grong and establish right, shows
want of gentility. But then TO establish the right
will promote discord, dissolve the union, sc. &c.
From the time the devils were cast out of Mary
hiagdalen, up to the present time when it is sought
to cast out this great devil of slavery believe
casting out devils has occasoned more or less dis
cord and difficulty, but that we take it to be rather
the fault of the evil ones themselves than of those
who labored to castthem out. To say that to abo-
lish the wrong and establish the right, will destroy
the Union, is to say that the Union is founded on
wrong, and to uphold it we must eternally GO
in to uphold the wrong against the right, on pain
of lacking gentity. Aud finally, if we don't go
in for the wickcdness and abomination of making
part of Gods creatures slaves, we shall not only
fail to be gentlemen, but Christians also To this
we have only to add: from the Mirrors gentlemen
and christians, good Lord, deliver us

re- Mrs. Stowe has sailed for England, on
whose shores it is expected she will be well
coined by tens of thousands of both sexes of
all ranks and conditions in life. Of course
the incidents connected with and attendant
upon this visit make it general matter of
newspaper comment; the most noticeable fea-
ture of which is, the John Julia Gardiner Ty
ler-like determination of our bunker bret hren
that no person shall feel or express any SYM
pathy with us in the evils We are compelled
to suffer and endure, until such person is him
or herself perfectly pure and happy.
This is a very poor philosophy. 1t is not
natural for us to assail wrong and evil in the
points where it is more especially connected
with ourselves. If the world should keep its
mouth shut, and wait for our southern breth-
rem to move voluntarily for the abolition OF
system upon which they grow fat and sleek,
it would wait some time We imagine; and
the same, in the case of England's aristocra-
cy, with reference to the system on which it
fiourishes. But all wrong is the same. We
see no difference in the principle upon which
the Duchess of Sutherland gets her wealth,
and Mrs. Tyler, hers: the difference is only
in the appliances or system; and when Her
Grace of Sutherland makes an onslaught on
one system, she strikes at the wrong upon
which they all rest. We are all created for
social life-are dependant upon each other
for comfort and happiness-and it is part
of the wisdom of our organization, that while
our selfishness guards the home sins on which
it dourishes, our benevolence and philanthro-
py 90 abroad to strike at wrong to benefit
others, and thus without intending it, benefit
themselves.
Then if our bunker brethren are really de-
sirous Of seeing the slavery of Great Britain
abolished, they should not object to the eff
forts of the British aristocracy, to abolish the
principle of slavery here. Nothing tends
more to sustain British slavery, than the ex-
istence of slavery in this model republic, for
if slavery may be tolerated in republic, GER
tainly it is legitimate in monarchy; and
those who demand that England shall abol-
ish slavery before America does, ask that a
monarchy shall outstrip republic, in the
application of liberal principles. AS yet, the
oppressed of other nations look in vain for
spot where there is no oppression. Let us
set an example of true republicanism, of real
rational freedom, and profiting by such ex-
ample, the oppressedof other lands will break
the chains that bind them, and vault with
new life to our own condition. Do not then
let us repel efforts kindly meant which pro-
mise these results. Let us welcome Earl
Carlisle and the Duchess of Sutherland to the
work of emancipation, quite sure that their
effort will not exhaust itself on this soil, but
that the wronged laborers on their estates as
well as ours, will be enabled in virtue of it,
to sing together hymns of emancipation.
