The Folly and Wlekednsss Of AbolI6onism

Whilst the country is convulsed from cen
ire 10 circumference by disputes arising out
OF the slavery question, the slave himself
is in a state of quieude, calmly enjoying
the comforts of life, and wondering why he
should be made he object of so much soi-
cituds and commo,ion. Contented and
happy in his present condition. when let
alone, he manifests no disposition TO change
il, with the almost certain prospect of be-
ing reduced to the miserable condition in
which we find most OF those of his race
who are in stats of freedom.
Thirty years of anti slavery agitation,
characterized by unceasing efforts TO bring
the North to place itself in a position Of
hostility 10 the institution, resulted in pro.
ducina one man, John Brown. whose
movements, if they accomplished nothing
more, fully established these facts-that
the sympathies of the Abolitionists have
been thrown away-ihat The slaves do not
desire freedom. Never have questions been
more completely determined than these =
John Brown, whom we may aplly style The
Don Quixoi: of America, appeared upon
the soil OF Virginia as a liberator, as The
aveneer of the wrongs of the slaves, and
there proclaimed that he had come to give
liberty 10 The captive. But instead OF ac-
ceptine his offers OF freedom, they fed in
alarm from his presence; most ungracious-
ly leaving him to Iall into the hands of his
enemies, TO meet with an ignomIous death
Thus we bad enacted al Harper's Ferry the
farce Of freedom to the slave, ending, how
I ever, in an unexpected tragedy, which
! ought TO have convinced even the fanaiical
4 AboIiiionisis OF the folly and wickedness OF
their course. Whilst their whole movemen:
/ in regard 10 The slave, has been proved
uncaIled for, the effects upon the peace
and unity of the nation have been dreadful
in the extreme Never were the Interests
of people SO trihed with in an insane eff
fort 10 give freedom 10 these who thus
spurn il when offered. A tremendous gull
attaches to those who have been the inslru
ments of causing, so unnecessarily, the
deep distress which everywhere surrounds
us. If The Aboliiionisfs iUere half as anriou
to keep The der,l of mischief om Of fkeu hearts
as they are 10 glue liberty TO those scho do no
mani IT, and toIson ii ,pould moi benefit IL iCoaL
/ be much better for them and all concerned.

Mr.. Lincoln,s Rceklsssnsss Of Assertion

The heresies and crudites of Mr.. LIN
COINS Inaugural are sufficiently revolving
10 men oftaste, as well as TO all patriotic
instincts; but'h he does not seem to think SO.
for 10 these blemshes he superadds the
utterance of deliberate and audacious un-
truth. Look, for instance. at the following
passage:
apprehension onseems TO exist among the
people of.the Southern States, that by the
accession OF Republican Administration,
their property, and their peace and person
al security are TO be endangered There neUer
has been Gny reasonable cause for such cPpre
hension Indeed, The most ample eetdefce-to
the contrary has been open 10 then Inspection"
Who could have believed that there is a
man living, who in the presence of such
surroundings as attended the inauguration
of ihe Chief Magistrate of the Nation,
oud have had the hardihood 10 make the
bold and reckless assertions contained in
the above paragraph The Southern States
have no reasonable cause for apprehension.
Not after the JoHN BRowN raid, and when ii
was discovered that Republican leaders
were in the plot 2 Not after the brutal and
bloody speech OF SUMNER denouncing the
Southern people as guilty o. all The crimes
nominated in the decalogue! Not after
the endorsement of the HELPER Book, by
sixty eight Republican members Of Con-
/ gress- book incitng 10 the social disrup-
tion of the Southern States, and provoking
/ an insurreci;ou of the slaves aud the butch
/ cry o! their masters! Not afier the nomi-
na.ion ard election OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN un-
der the pressure OF sentiment manufactur-
ed solely by abuse of The Souh, by the
defamation of her public men and the de-
nia of her Constitutional rights in States

can rule, of which Mir. LINCOLN speak 5,
seven States have already-Hnder the sol

any one believe that this awful condition o
our ceuniry-going 10 wreck by piecmeal
would have occurred, but for the exis-
tence and triumph of the Republican party
Would not the election OF either BRECKIN'
RIDGE, BELL or DoUGLAs have avertef this

LINCOLN, in the august presence Of th'
Judges Of the Supreme Court, OF the retir

people, proclaims that the apprehension Q
the South from Republican rule was entire

aiY. Lincoln s Cabinet.

Below we give the members of President
Lincoln's Cabinet. Il is composed of near
" all shades and colors, and with he~ac-
ception of SswARD, CHASE, CAmRRoN, and
RITEs, they khe comparatively obscure and
unknown men of no mark Cameron,
ckase AndswelleFare known 10 have be-
longed TO the Democratic party, and it was
a blessed thing for il that they were read
out. Seward, Chase and Bates, even are
only second rate statesmen. But all this
matters not; this Cabinet is To be viewef'
in other aspects. Between Seward and
Chase there is understood to be an irrecon-
cilahle hostility One heads the moder-
ale t?J the other the coercive and uncom.
promising wing of the Republican party.
The appointment of Chase is fair tribute
10 Horace Greeley the ultra editor of the
Tribune, and gross insult to the South, TO
the border States, TO the Union men in the
border States Several prominent men'of
Virginia demonstrated strongly with Lincoln
against the appointment OF this man =
Cemons went so far as to say TO the Pres
ident that Virginia would secede If he put
Chase in his Cabinet, but it appears 10
have had no,edeet.
So the border slave'States will have the
fraud of SEW ARDaand the violence OF CHAsE to
contend againsi-poison and the sword
In the Post Office Department will be
bitter, disappointed Southern renegade, un-
der whose auspices the border States will
be filed with incendiary letters, papers and
publicat ions. The Post Office, with its inf
mite and all-pervadng ramfications, will
be the great engine of abolitionism and SER
vile insurrection. Against It's insidious and
secret influence there will be no defence.
No Southern hearth will be safe.
The preference of CHASE over CAMERON
for the Treasury is an Insult and blow TO
PENNSYLVANIA and her n:e rests. The "Ban.
ner State" is signed, CAMERoN set aside be
cause of his savoring her, and CHASE, whose
tariff views are at least questionable, pnl
over him. The patronage for which the
I Pennsylvania Wide Awakes struggled so
hard is taken from them TO be distributed
| by CHASE and BLAIR among their friends
the ultra Republicans. The Treasury and
the Post Office Departm ents have the great
bulk of the patronage, while the War De-
partmeut promises but little 10 the hun

A Compliment from ROYALTY.

We clip the following item from a recent
number of the London (CourO Journal
we haye OF late observed with pleasure
bic feelings a growing tendency among The
higher circles 10 contract closer intimacy
with the disciples of Art and Science. This
is as it should be, for in our humble opIn-
ion England rises higher i'll the scale OF civ
iiization by the fertile genius OF her sons
than by The rays of military glory reflected
from her arms. AT the late levee in the
Queens Drawing Room among other nota-
biiiies we noticed with unfeigned salts
faction the celebrated DR.. Holloway, whose
Pills and Ointment have won for him a nnl-
versal and mperishable name, his sober
habIiments strangely conirasted with the
elegant and recherche dress of the couriers
who surrounded him. On Introducing him
to the Queen, Her Majesty extended her
hand 10 him in the mos, gracious and smil-
| ing manner. OBTAINING him few moments

! ticularly alluded TO the benefits which moi
| only the wounded British but even French
Soldiers had received from his Ointmen
during the Russian war. The Doctor bowed
his venerable head in acknowledgment
OF this proud tribute from his Sovereign
| Mistress 10 his unceasing efforts in the
cause of suffering humanity. From the uni
ted testimony of the Medical Staff, the OF
ficers, and Miss Florence Nightingale, wh'
all concurred in the great efficacy OF Dr.
Holloway's Ointment in gun-shot wounds

Mr. Lineo.n's Inaugural.

The inauguration of ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
as the sixteenth President Of the United
States, (provided all people think them uni-
ted J occurred at Washington, on Monday
of last week and lhs address. delivered by
the President on The occasion, will be
found on our first page, entire. The so
much talked OF disturbance did not take
place, and all the proceedings of The day
were characterized sy the utmost good hu-
NOR on The part of the populace. This in
augural address was delivered froTa the por
tico OF the Capitol. In his address, some Of
the Press have notion that he hints al the
same ground assumed by Mr.. BucHsNAs, in
his last message, in relation TO the question
Of secession. It appears difficult to arrive
al the true interpretation of his whole mes
means war. another that il means peace
The South say it means coercion, told in
velyely language. We notice, in one par.
iicular clause, he says, that il is his in,en-
lion to-where Offices are made vacant, by
resignation in The seeded States, and no
person can be found in the locality TO ac-
cept the same-to force strangers upon
them. Such course ,,as he may well be-
liese, would only perplex, aggravate and
excite the people. He declares his pur-
pose TO preserve the public peace, TO take
a.d TO hold all national properly, and all
trifhout fhe shedding Of blood While doing
this he indicates that he will take no steps
which look like war upon the South. His
purpose is thought hard one TO carry out
unless he is able 10 cause some spell to
come over the Southern people, operating
s:miIar to the effects of mesmerism. Mr.
Douglas declared in the Senate in speech
that the address meant peace. But upon
the whole, while there are some portions o.
the document which do not entirely har.
monize with his peaceful professions, we
Ieel disposed 10 cons.rue it as State paper
tending to conservatism rather than other
wise. Ii he is sincere in his purpose, and
his friends and advisers true TO their pro
fessions, we may expect him 10 pursue {
peaceful policy, and thus fling the Chicago
Platform 10 the dogs. But let him attemp
10 make one demonstration of war, or CO.
ercion, and his administration, the Union
and the liberties or the people-proieciet
a.y "A constitutional Cioyernment-will b'
engnIfed in ruin and chaos. For the SAX,
of the Union and The people, let US sincere
ly trust that ihe new President will cast OF
tie irammels of Party, and standing witt
The Constitution in one hand and the Oliv
Branch in the other, extend them-wiih a
their guarantees uuimpaired-to onr breth
rem OF the South, and unite them, in tn
spirit OF our fathers, TO come back and shar
with Us, in peace, the blessings of the Tn
ion and The Constitution, in the shadow c

An was received by the people of Lancaster
with degree ofenthusiasm and efeciion
as gratifying TO him as it was honorable TO

have 7rospeFed on his bounty and been fed
from his hands, and who, with the maligni-
ay Of fienls, have soughs 10 embitter his
last days, to make his home hateful and his
neiehiors enemies, he has returned 10 Lam
caster only to find that the assaults os these
inaraies have made his friends more ardent
and more numerous.

turn of statesman whose power has de

was denied him in Washington. Happel
