ABOLITION PIONEERS.

ABOLITION PIONEERS.
Every cause has its pioneers its great pathfnders who
keep in advance of their contemporaries plant outposs
man them and await the arrival of their sympathzing
hosts Seward Parker, Phillips Garrison and their asso
aes are the pioneers of northern fIeesosm and it is
we'll to keep track of their works. for they push principles
ogcaly to their conclusion. When Seward is declaring
the Senate that the day for compromises has passed, il
may be well know what Garrison ia saying in Masa
chusetts.
These pioneers met at birmingham on the Fourth oil
July and the two last Lberators have their speeches in
Hull
The first speech made by VIM Lloyd Garrison. We
give two extracts:
To-day disown the American flag as the symbol oil
uneqused hypocrisy and transcendent OPPRESSION and
casting it ato the broad Atlantic defy all the
thereof 70 wash out its bloody stains To-day renew my
accusation against the American constitution, that II is "a
covenant with death and agreement with hell which
ought TO be annulled and forever To-day pro-
the American Union league of despotism 10 per-
petuate which is crime against common humanity
and sin against God To-day affirm the higher law
he the rghtul and paramount law OF the land TO the
abVerson OF every statute agreement and compromise
amical to human freedom To-day stand outside OF
this yrsnnical government seceder on principle, rev.
utonst with Hancock and Otis and Warren, bat upon
broader platform, with oflier spirit with better
weapons, and for nober object For the Lord spake
thus with strong hand and instructed me that
should not walk in the way Of this people saying, Say
coniederacy TO all them TO whom this people shall
conderacy neither fear We their fear nor be afraid
Sancfy the Lord Of hosts himself aud let him be your
fear and he shall be for sanctuary"
Garrison concluded follows;
Let then to-dsy-rsjecng wild and cbimcrical
all suggestions propositions and contrvances for restrain
ng slavery within lie present limits while extending
luouai protection 70 in fifteen ofthe thirty Staes
register our pledge anew before Ieayep and the world
that will do what ia us s TO effect the eternal over
throw Of this blood stained Union that thus ensayed
ountrymen may find deyerance, and we may no
longer be answerable for their blood Let not be drawn
by any side issue Ia Kansas be deuded by the cry
Of erfy national slaperg sectional fseing Il Ia the
