going to do about it? Something dread

dare! Out motto, and we would hare
YOU understand it, is The Abolition Of
,Novery and the I2erpetuafion Of tie
american Union. If By any means
you d. succeed in your reasonable at-
tempts, to take the South out Of tic
Union to-day, we will bring her bacl;
to-morrow-i she goes c'c. g ac'th yon,

DO dot mistake the meaning OF the
last clause Of the last sentence; we
could elucidatc it SO thoroughly that no
intelligent person could fail to conpre-
hcnd it; but. for reasons which may
hereafter appear, We forcgo the task.
Henceforth there arc Other interests
to be consulted in the South, aside from
the interests of negroes and slavehold'
crs. A profound sense Of duty incites
US to make the greatest possible efforts
for the abolition Of slavery; OH equally
profound sense ofduty calls for a con.
tinuation of those efforts until the last
foe to freedom shall have been utterly
vancu,shcd. To the summons Of the
righteous monitor within, we shall en-.
deavor to prove faithful; no opportuui.
ty for indicting q mortal wound in thc
side Of slavery shall be permitted tc
pass us unimproved.
Thus, terror-engendercrs Of the South
have We fully and frankly defined cu'
position; VIC have no notifications t
