The people must naturally entertain doIbts

the true meaning Of word, when Il is found
that photographers themselves disagree. IL
consulting Walker, (EOglIsh) we find the word
AboIitiOA to mean, the act Of abOlishing; repeal
In consulting Boyer, (FreDch) we find the
word Abolition, n mean, pardon; full discharge
from the penalty Of crime adjustment. And
il is only when We come 70 examine Webster
(American) that we End the word AbOIisiOH, to
be applied to negro slavery.

seems to be a. little understood IS Abolition.

S1drerM according to Egyptian, Jewish,
Greek and Roman history, meant absolute,
ownership Of the body, life, labor and services
Of the slave. The slaves, too, were not always
Of . different or inferior race, but were OF the
same race, language and people, captured in
the wars Of conquest in which these nations
were engaged. This system Of slavery yet ex'
lists among the negroes Of Africa, - well IS
among all the inferior races Of mankind at the
present day. Slavery, according to the lexi-
cOgraPhers, exists everywhere in oil nations
and among all races Of mankind. Instead Of
labor being . delightful occupation according
to Greedy, il Is said 10 be punishment or de-
graduation for the disObedience Of our first pa.
rents" In tie s'Oedtc Of Thy brOtr, thou shdh eat
bread" The subordinate social condition Of
the negro in the Southern States, is in strict
accordance 70 the law Of nature,-the inferior
10 always dependant upon and subject to the
superior. No sane man, in this State, would
advocate the social, legal and puliticAl equality
OF tho ChnAmAn, Indian, or Negro with the
white man.
ABOLITION, politically, means turning lOOse
the negro to becOme barbarian, or if kept in
civilization, TO be burden and expense 90 the
white population Of the country.
