Garry thing through. Persevere !;
don't do anything else. If you once
fairly, soundly, wide-awakely begin a
thing, let it be carried through, though
it costs you your best comfort, time,
energies, and all that you can command.
We heartily abominate this turning
backward, this wearying and fainting
of soul and purpose. 1t speaks imbe
cility of mind, want of character, cour-
age, true manlincss.
Garry thing through Don't begin
it till you are fully prepared for its ac-
complishment. Think, study, dig, till
you know your ground, see your way.
This done, launch out with all your
soul, heart and fire turn neither to the
right nor left Push on giantly-push
on, as though creation had been waiting
through all time for your especial hand
and spirit Then you'll do something
worthy Of yourself and kind. Carry
thing through. Don't leap and daily
from one thing to another. No man
ever did anything that way. You
can't.
Be strong minded. Be hopeful,
stern and manly. Don'tdisgrace your
self by being on this thing to-day, on
that thing tomorrow, and on ano-
ther thing next day. We don't care if
you are the most active person living
we don't care if you labor day and
night, in season and out be sure the
end of your life will show nothing, if
you change from object to object. For
tune, success, fame, position, are never
gained but by piously, determinedly,
bravely, sticking, growing, living to a
thing, till it is fairly accomplished.
In short, you must carry a thing
through, if you want to be any bo'iy
or anything. No matter if it is hard.
No matter if it does cost you the pleas
ure, the society, the thousand pearly
qualifications of life. No matter for
these Stick to the thing and carry it
through. Believe you were made for
the matter, and that no one else can do
it at all. Put forth your whole ener-
gies. Stir, wake, electrily yourself,
and go forth to the task. Only once
learn to carry thing through in all lite
completeness and proportion, and you
will become a hero. You will think
better of yourself-others will think
better of you. OF course they will
The world, in its very heart, admires
the stern, determined doer 1t sees
in him its best sight, It's highest object,
its richest treasure. Drive right along,
then, in whatever you undertake. Con-
slider yourself amply sufficient for the
deed. You'll be successful, never fear.
Abolitionists.
1t has been too much the habit Of
Southern orators and editors to de-
nounce the whole Northern people as
abolitionists. We have endeavored to
check this error by repeatedly drawing
the distinction between freesoilism and
abolitionism. We can readily conceive
that man may be conscientiously " op-
posed to the extensionof slavery to the
territories of the union, and yet have no
wish to disturb slavery as it exists at
the South. Indeed, there are many slave-
holders who are freesoilers, but who
would spurn the imputation of being alb
olitionists.. The following article from
the New York Herald is apropos to this
subject; and we think, expresses in brief
terms, the views of the freesoilers of the
North Baltimore. Nd. Clipper.
VINO ARE THE ABouuoNIsFs? ?-The
Sontheru reign of terror journalists de-
nounce every one that supports Fremont
as an abolitionist, and every journal that
takes that side of the question as an alb
olitionist organ. This is the absurd i'd
iosyncracy of prejudiced minds. Since
we brought Colonel Fremont before the
people, and since he has received the
nomination of several conventions and
popular bodies on the broad ground of
no further extension of slavery, the alb
olitionists have been reduced to an In
considerable faction in New England
and a few in Western New York. Gar
rison and his compeers, who oppose the
election of Fremont, are the only real
abolitionists. They declare death and
damnation to the constitution and the
Union, unless slavery, where it now ex-
lists under constitutional guarantees. is
Immediately and Internationally abolish
led. They are the only true abolifionists.
They are the abolisionists, pure and SIM
pie. The great mass of the people of the
Northern aud Western States view the
lsubiect in purely statesmanlike and
Ipraetieallight. They are perfectly consti-
tational and entirely conservative so far
as the guaranteed rights Of the South are
concerned.
