ssWe believe that the cause Of philanthropy

taking the black cannibsls and savages from

influences OF Southern slavery; for nowhere
on the surface Of the globe has the African
race 20 much improved a. in the slavehold-
ing commonwealths Of the South.
But - they grow more and moro enlight-
ened and elevated, moro sensible Of their
rights-and their wrongs-more intimately
allied in spiris-and in blood--to tho GLASS
who rule them, does never . vision Of ST.

and inevitable event?
Speaking Of the trouble about "Aboli.

Crescsnt has ito mind turned to tho genera
subject Of "abolition emissaries'' in .h,

"sAbolition smissAries' are no doubt SCAT
