. The Boston Post, journal which, in the hot
bed of abolition, stands almost alone in its vim
dication of the constitutional rights of the South,
scholar, careful observer, and true man, Rev.
DR.. Adams OF Boston. In his South Side View
of Slavery, among other passages~of like import
is the following:
aWhnt had the South done to injure US, ex.
cept through our sensibilities on the subject of
slavery! What have we done TO her, but ad
monish, threaten, excommunicate her, stir up
insurrection among her slaves, endanger her
homes, make her Christians and ministers odious
ia other lands"

"What has she ever done, except in self-de-
fence, in our long quarrel, which, upon reconcla.
tion, would rankle in our memories, aud make II
hard for US to forgive and forget? Positively
not one thing. We have been the assailants'
she The mark we the prosecutors, she the de.
(endant; we the aceusers, she the self denying
This is fair and just statement of the case.
How could it be otherwise What motive has
the South for nggressons upon the North!
How could she extend slavery to the free States,
if she would, and what would she gain by it if
she could? The very word Abolition tells the
whole story, and gives the true position of the
two sections. Abolition! Abolition of what!
OF slavery. Of Southern institutions. The
North has no institutions that the South wishes
to abolish. Of course, then, in the language Of
DR.. Adams, they are the assailants The South
the mark they the prosecutors, she the deten-
dant; they the aucusers, she the self denying
respondent"
Yet, rs the Boston Post tlu'y says, these
men, leaders of this abolition crusade, have the
audacity to denounce the South rs the aggres-
sors, and to insist that this spirit of aggression
is 80 predominant among Southern politicians
that any honorable union or cooperation
with them by any Northern party is idle. They
They revile and stigmatize as doughfares, lick
spittles, and thousand other slang phrases, every
honest and upright Northern man (and there are
sli multitudes of such) who raises his voice in
behalf of the Constitution and of equal justice
to all sections. France, in the bloodiest days
of its first Revolution, was never cursed with
enemies more dangerous to the peace, good or
der and happiness Of society, than the miscreants
who are tanning the famos of abolition fanati.
