We also authorized TO announce the postponcment

Postponed until further notice." Very
good After an agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton for thirty years, and for the express pur-
pose from the beginning Of bringing about the
dissolution Of the Union and "no union with
Shareholders" our abolition leaders, having
made the country too hot for their anniversary
love feasts. prudently beat retreat until fur
ther notice" They comprehend the danger Of
standing in the way Of the great patriotic
movement Of this crisis, and they stand aside.
And the "Woman's Rights Convention, adver-
tised to be held in New York this week." is
also postponed; and for the very good reason
that nobody has any time for such nonsense
and tomfoolery now. Abolitionism, Fourierism,
Woman's Rights, Free Love, Atheism, and all

The cspkers OF q calm world and long peace
are swept away by the movements Of armed
men, mastering to save us all from that h0rri-
Bile state Of anarchy which our abolition and
women's rights reforners have been so long
preaching as the blessed coming millennium.
We presume that very few of our religious
and moral reform societies, accustomed to as
semble in New York in May to pass resolu-
tons, publish pamphlets and collect money,
will make much OF show this year. Usually
they raise on these occasions, or report the
raising, Of an aggregate Of two or three millions
Of dollars, contributed to purchase frewood for
the shivering natives of the forests Of Central
Africa, salt pork for the benighted Hindoos,
double quilted overcoats for the Feejee Island
ers, and tracts for poor pagans all the world
over, in a language which is all Greek to them.
This year our public philanthropy is command
ed by the necessities Of war; and let us hope
that the results Of this war, as we are in for it,
will be better for the cause of good govern
ment, the cause of religion, the cause Of the
Union, the cause Of the poor Feejees, and the
missionary cause and the cause Of Christianity,
than all orr religious money begging societies
Of the last fifty years Meantime it is a matter
Of some consolation that our disunion abolition
lists have been compelled to shut up shop until
further notice
