MONDAY, SEPTEMBER IA, 1857.

SaS~ We give place this morning to an
article from correspondent relative to
the latest phase of the anti-slavery propa-
ganda-the Cleveland Emancipation Con-
Vention. The conclusion which the writer
arrives at-that the Convention is an in
dication of the decadence of abolitionism,
we have not seen suggested elsewhere.
We trust that the future action of the enc
mics of slavery may justify it. We are
amongst those, who, like our correspond
ent regard African slavery as blessing
to the master and the slave; and have no
idea that it will ever be abolished; but our
views are far, very far, from coinciding
with him on the question of disunion We
do not, however, propose to enter into a
discussion of the subject, not caring about
doing more, at present, than dissenting
from his sentiments on this branch of his
remarks. We hope the time may never
come when the South shall be driven to
extreme measures; but should it come in
our day, we shall desire some better RENE
dy for our ills than diSunion.
