The Evils Of AboIishiBg Slavery.

1uC Efil5 vi ADuiisuins psuteiy
The following, taken from the
Rev. DR.. Rivers Elements Of Moral
Philosophy, is the simplest, fairest
and truest statement ne ever obser-
we'd respecting the evils Of abolish
ing slavery. Every sentence is a
text, from which important sermons
might we'll be preached:
The Abolition Of slavery would
:urn out of employment thousands
Of operatives at the North. The
great cotton mills would cease to
move, for there would be no raw
material to supply them. The
country would be almost stunned BY
the walls Of anguish that would arise
from furnishing women and starving
children. Age would sink exhausted
undor It's inhrmities, and youth would
grow sick and die.
England would te ruined. She
would totter from her high position,
and cease to be the Queen OF the
Seas Her vast and populous man
ufacsuring districts would become
barren Sahara. Every loom and
spindle would be stopped. Insubor-
dinstion would BE rife among bel
subjects, among whom comparative
oontentment reigns. Men, women
and children would be found in the
market places idle. because no man
could hire them. Minors, and col.
Tiers, and machinists, and mechanics
would all be seeking labor, and fin.
ding none; and worse than Egyptian
famine would starve the land.
Her grand missionary and Bible
enterprises would languish, and bel
glory depart.
Commerce would languish. Fol
wears commerce has been the hand
maid of religion, 1t has been TIL
leader Of the enterprise, and tn
.forerunner' of theGospel. 1t has ad
vanced science, discovered new lands
and poncilled their boundaries upol
the map Of the world. 1t ia
broken barriers which bad grow
strong by the accretions Of centuries
il has opened the gates of Chin
and Japan to the civilized world
1t has united together beautiful
sisterhood Of nationS, and lessene'
the chances of war. Commerc
owes its glory to cotton. Cotto
svays the commerce Of the world
But cotton is the production of slsv
labor. Destroy slavery, and to
supoly Of cotton would cease.
The Abolition OF slavery woul
make the South sea OF BLOOD
It would lead to war, and prove To
utter extinction Of the negro race
The South is rich, and is increasinI
in wealth, In arts and sciences be
progress is onward. Her entespris
ing citizens are building Railroad
erecting manufactures, establishin
schools, printing books, and advaue
ing in all the elements Of the highes
civilization. And if let alcne, wi
work out sublime destiny. Blu
let slavery be abolished, let tbree Q
four millions Of an inferior race
unused to libarality and equality, b
at once elvated to the characte
and position Of freemen, and til
consequences would be the ruin {
the interests Of one race, and th
ann;hilstion of the other.
