filled with all high cries aud spirited deuun-
Citations; indignation is at II premium; and
this is called advocacy.
But to calculate, TO mike sure Of your aim,

To overlook, hut to drspise. They do not
put their vhor To drIll. Neither on the field
nor the platform has courage any inherent
capacity of taking care of ITSELF
The writer then proceeds TO take n quota
ton from Mr.. EMERSON, tie latter part Of
which will read:-
Let us withhold every reproaehftl, apd if
we eau, every indignant remark. In this
cause, we must rcnOuuce our temper aud
the risiugs OF pride. Ii there be any man
who thinks the ruin of u race of men u

The critic takes exception to Mr.. Garri-
sons approval Of the denuuciatory language
ia which Daniel O'Connell rebuked the gi-
ant sin of America, aud concluder his artIc-
les with this seutence:-
'When WIN. Lloyd Garrison praises the
great Celtic Monarch OF invcclive for this
dire ontpouiing, he nets the part OF the boy
who iuucies that the terror is in The war
whoop of the savage, unnindlu! OF the qui-
eler miiskels OF the civilized Infantry, whose
ulIosteutntotIs execution blows whOOp aud
ioninhawk to the devil
Before passing To n consideration OF these
remarks ui los, let me sny word in rea-
lion to Mr.. EMERSON. / do not consider
him ns endorsing any of these criticisms on
the AhUlilionisls. His services to the most
radical nti'slhvery movement liave lIeelI
generous md marked. lie has never shrunk
from my Odiun which lending his name
aud voice To il would incur. Making FUR
allowance Tor his peculiar taste, habits aud
genius, he has given generous amount OF
aid To the anli-slavery movement, aud never
let its friends want his cordial 'Godspeed.'
Ions charges are the old ones, that we
aboillonsls are hurting our own CAUSE
that, instead Of waiting for the community
Ia come up 10 our views, aud endeayoring
TO renuve prejudice and enlighten ignorance,
by patient explanation aud fair argument,
we fall at once, like children, to abusing
every thing aud every body-that we nag-
ine zeal will supply the place of common
