f.sao- Curious Altsrnations bstwesn the
Slavery Question ana the Money QUESTION.
We publish this morning special proclama-
ton from William Lloyd Garrison on the finan-
cisl evils Of the day and their causes and
remedies. The abolition venom Of thirty years
accumulation is concentrated in this venomous
document, and thus we have the whole creed,
theory and programme Of the radical aboli-
tionists at brdseye view. Reduced, however,
10 single word, Garrison contends that the
great and paramount cause Of this monetary re
vulson is slavery, and his remedy, at all hszards
the abolition OF slavery.
The particular purpose for which we publish
this ferocious blood and thunder Garrisonian
manifesto IL Indicated IN It's Grst paragraph; aud
in the allusiou 10 the important fact that the
Northern Disuuion Convention appointed this
month TO assemble in Cleveland, Ohio "a his

,ons Just 30 And DO. only has this pro
jected Dsunion Convention been driven to the
wall by this financial pressure bat the whole
programme Of the slavery agitators, in all it,
parts, has thus been suspended and superseded
by the superior Issues arising from broken banks,
broken merchants suspended factories, disor-
oercd currency, and the universal overthrow OF
business, OF credit and confidence.
In this connection, the striking fact pre- nts IL
self that the agitation Of the slavery question has
only profpered In Our seasons Of financial and
commercial prosperity aud imitation, and that
with every financial reyulson 1t has been driven
into the background A brief historical revieS
Of the curious Alterations between the slavery
question and the money question in our political
bffAbs viii illustrate what We mean 20 foscibly,
that We cannot refrain from giving il.
The flst Necessity with tue organic alton Of our
present FEDERAL system was money o regular cur
rency, and regular financial aid commercial
systlm. These practical issues, with others, upon
our federal system and our foreign relations con
trolled and divided our political parties through
the administrations Of Washington Adams AID
Jefferson. Even the acquisition from France Of
the rich and extensive saveholding territory Of
Louisiana, with it, 40 600 slaves excited no sen
sauon in Congress. nor 10 the country.
On account Of slavery But with the
year 1SOs TIE constitutional limitation
Of the African slave trade expired,
and With the extinction Of that lucrative trait:
our philan.hropists Of the North began to di-.
cover that there was something wrong In the IN
sltution Of slavery itself, a. existing In the
