THE ALLIANCE OF. ABOLITION AND
SECESSJON .


There is one good likely to result from the
secession movement, viz that the abolition OF
slavery in the border atates will be thereby
greatly hastened. Let this movement terminate
as it may, this result may be regarded as GER
tain. If secession shall finally triumph, and
the permanent dissolution of the Union ensue,
the insecurity Of slave property in these States,
when no constitutional provision or interna-
tonal law shall require the rendition Of fugi.
tves from service, must compel the removal Of
this property to the cotton States, where slave
labor is more valuable, and where the danger
of the escape of the slave 10 diminished. The
surrender of escaping slaves has always been
the sore point of the present system, and moth.
ing but the imperative requirement Of the Con.
stitution has reconciled the people Of the free
States to the faithful execution of the law upon
this subject. Let two separate confederacies
be formed, and it would be vain to expect that
any comfy of nations would induce the North.
ern States to so far give up their convictions as
to assume the slightest responsibility Of the Pc
cuiar institution, or be instrumental in return.
ing single human being to bondage. As well
might we expect the British Government to
consent to fugitive slave law in the Canadas.
On the other hand, should the seeding States
return to their allegiance, and the Union be
permanently established, yet the recollection OF
the present crisis and the fear Of returning
agitation, would induce the shareholders Of the
border States to convert their property in slaves
into some other not so much exposed to depre'
citation by reason Of political revulsions. 1t is
well.known fact, that this species of property
has fallen in value nearly if not quite one.halt
within the last few months, and nothing but
the want of a market prevents now the removal
of the slaves further South When peace shall
be restored, and the country returns to its nor
NAL condition, the Southern exodus of slaves
may be confidently expected to commence
The leaders of secession, while they have the
oretically agreed with the abolitionists in re-
gard to the dissolution Of the Union, have also
joined hands with them in the practical work
Of circumscribing the area Of slavery.
In confirmation of the views here expressed
we quote from a private letter Of a gentleman
in Virginia, addressed to his friend in Mont
gomery:
"The fact is that the northwestern portion
Of the State is not too loyal to the institution
of slavery. / am confident that the presen,
Convention will not secede, and say it witt
shameness Of face and if she does not, there
| will be the greatest stampede from here tha
| you can imagine, for men who have been nobly
battling for Southern rights will not remain
here in miserable minority, to be tyrannizet
over by the unscrupulous fanaticism of the
Northern abolitionists"

THE EVACUATION OF FORT SUMTER.
Late last evening we learned that in Cabi-
, ct meeting, on Saturday, it was determined
70 evacuate Fort Sumter. If the news is au-
ihentic, of which we have 10 reason to doubt,
This measure has been taken as one of conciia.
tion to the border States. The fort has no
strategic importance, and it may have been
supposed that the yielding point of pride to
South Carolina could very we'll be afforded by
q great Government, would satisfy the country
generally of the pacific policy of the Admins
tration, and enable it, without the appearance
of coercion, to be more stringent in the en-.
