THE ETHICS OF ABoLITIoYIsM.

Strange and startling the ethics oil the aboiiuoniss

logic They teach less by their professions than by their
practices We should be grateful TO such leaders ofmob as
Parkersuch sanderers Of God Phips-such incenda-
res in Congress Summer for they put their worst pur
poses forward in fearful and public array They uncon-
scousy adonsh the people of the gigantic perils which
surround them and il is right that should act upon
what we see and what know. The most of these bad
men invoke the Scriptures in aid Of their revolving potsr
the Bible which counses peace earth and goodwill
among men," and yet while they do this they arm the
mobs Of Boston, and murder the officers Of the law Par
ker breaches while surrounded by the holy memo
res of Hancock and Adams who ready to yield up
all that their country might live Sumner wounds the
constitution IN the Capitol while the Holy Book
bstered by the oath he to maintain and to protect
it, What these wretched men contemplate we can well
conceive for know what they have already done and
remains behind" unless they checked at once
and forever Having openly declared their contempt OF
order Of religion and of solemn oahs they seek next to
open the hoodgates of dsunion and than disunon
Seventeen years ago. in the city Of Philadelphia nm abo

refined and temperate cities on the globe rose
as one man put down the shameless example With the
dsunon struggled for by Parker and Sumner should

curse of conflict in the walks of labor between the black

Is this the result of being faithful the pledges made by
our fathers when they died for the Declaration Of hide

tai principles of the constitution?
But there is in the hearts of the people abiding love
for the Uniona that calm oflove Mr. Caruthers
of Missouri in his late speech in Congress happily
presses -over which the of fanaticism may

supposed TO be intended for the invasion Of the island Of
Cuba and asserting his determination to enforce the exist
ing laws providing for such emergencies viii be read with
much attention The government OF the United States is
founded upon strict obedience to law faithful observance
of the constitutional guarantees Of citizens strict adj
herence to treaty obligations and patriotic public opin-
ion. The present Executive realizing his duties in the
premises and reolutc alike against the foreign and the do
nestle foe has already proved to the world his de
sire TO maintain good understanding with other nations

borders President Pierce issued his proclamation inter-
posed the authority placed In his hands by the people

protection Of the rights of large portion of c
zens, the same strong and patriotic will that declares to
Boston anaticsm, in the Of the republic thus hr
