The Enquirer in an article headed "Thc Cost
of the Union," introduces some reported extracts
from the ndiscrimnate rawlings of the abolitionists
at their meeting In New York last month The

The Ferry Post has an editorial upon kossUTH,
who, after some months of silence, has again be-
gun to make speeches IN England. We quote the
concluding paragraph:
