But, Mr.. Editor, to look at this sub
jsct gfayely and as patriots, lovers of
our country, and the perpetuity of tho
Christian religion is there. nothing to
arouse every good man, yea, every Virgil
nian, when it seems to be the, settled poa
Icy of aboliLionism to have the fugitive
slave law repealed, and with, it all the
horrors consequent thereto, Yes. MIR,
Editor. the object of the abolitiouist is the
extirpation of slavery by all the " powers

infamatoryf speeches. and publications
some by itinerant lectures, while there
are many who infuse their unhallowed
creed, by assuming to be followers Of
Christ, with all the sanctity of Roman
Priest, viii inducelmany unawares to be-

1t may be, for all we know, that this
preacher here, is under the regular pay
of the abolition societies Of Great Britain
and New York. And why 1t is the
settled policy of these societies to bring
about a repeal Of the fugitive slave law
Then if the ultimate objectof these Nor
thern fanatics is the repeal of this law,.
then their aim is alta dissolution of the
union. t8 atg 81 aH, ~ hrs ~.
Repeal the fugitive slave law. aud this un-
ion is dissolved, with all its horrors, and
allits blasting curses. Where did the
first blast breeze from for dissolution Of
our glorious union? 1t came from nor
thern abolitionism. Where did abolition
ism have its birthplace? Among the
crowned heads Of despoLic Europe. 1t
originated. with the enemies Of Freedom
and republican liberty. the fawning syco-
plants of tyranny, the willing tools of
aggression /; yea, Mr.. Cooper, the prin-
ciples ofmodern abolitionism were first
promulgated in the Northern free States
by British demagogues and emmisaries,
supported by British gold, as have been
their successors to the present day A
dissolution of our union was undoubtedly
the ultimate and real design of those for
eign founders OF abolitonism: this gain
ed, and the'pride of the British lion would
be avenged for the disgraceful defeats
sustained during the Revolutionary and
late wars. These disunion abolitionists
have effectually sowed the seed Of discord
and disatfection in our midst, of which
disunion is the legitimate offspring, unless
checked by the great conservative princi-
pies of reason, truth and Justice. Should
the fugitive slave law be repealed with
all its consequences. where, ask, would
be our Religious Liberty +? Civil, yea,
servile war would be the consequence ?
such war as the world has never vet
witnessed "a war of uncompromising ex
termination that would lay waste this
vast and beautiful land of ours, and leave
our wives and daughters prey to the
lusts of the licentious, and leave the des-
Potic powers of Europe exulLing over the
downfall of our Republic, which would

Such seems to be the aim of abolition.
