THE Abolition or sERrDoM IN Russia

The ABOLITION or SERFDoM III Russia
At a banquet which took place at Moscow
on the 10th Of January last, in honor Of the
proposed emancipation Of the serfs, at which
one hundred and eighty persons were pres
ent, in reply to the first toast" the Health
Of the Emperor ~ Mr.. PanloAf said -
"The Emperor has struck at the root Of
this evil. The glory and prosperity of Bus
sia cannot rest upon institutions based on
injustice and falseh0od No! these blessings
are henceforth to be found in the path thrown
open by him whose name Russia prOnounces
with resespect and pride. The Emperor has
ceded this great reform, which he might have
accomplished by his own powerful will, by
asking the nobles'to take the initiative
Let u.s. then, hail this noble idea, inspired by
the sole wish for the welfare of his people,
with that enlightened heartiness which may
now be expected from Russia"
We take the above from the s. F. Herald.
How easy it is to applaud when done at a
distance, that the advocacy of which at home,
and when affecting our own interests, is al
together out of place. Russia sets America
an example. Theworld' moves on : we are
receding-[M Masonic Visitor.
The work undeKtaken by Alexander is a
great as we'll as .go6d one. A report lately
presented to the Emperor contains the fol-
lowing statistical retnFns relative to landed
property and serfs In the Empire 1t is of
special interest in connection with the eTnan-
eipation movement. The number of fami-
lies who are land owners is 127, ,OOO Out
of these 1000 possesses from 1000 to TO-
900 serfs; 1000 from 500 to 1000; 10000
from 100 to 500; 10000 from 21 to 100 +;
and $4,000 have less than 81. The total
number of peasant serfs of the nobility
amounts TO I'll, ,750, 900, and those of the
Crown to 9,OOOOOo. There are, therefore,
2o,275,ooO persons %nxiously waiting for
emancipation,
The work of emancipation, which was first
inaugurated by the Example of the emperor,
has already been followed'by about one fifth
of the nobility, and fRslatest accounts from
the imperial capitalsstate that nearly che en-
tire body have noSpgiven in their adhesion
to that policy, and that the whole serfdom
of Rus8sa will soon be dfsenthralIed from
slavery. This act of Russia, of olevating
such a vast number Of bendmen to the rights
of citizens and making them owners and ten
