form, and the precious olive leaves of the Tract
Society. The mails have been free; the hotel.
have been open; the pulpits have been unre.
stricted; DIR. Adams has been Southwark and
DR.. Fuller has come Northward; the White
mountains and Newport have contributed their
skyey and billOwy influences; but oil in vain.
We are at war; and it is not at all probable
that q restoration of the means of travel to the
Northwsrd vii bring peace to us. When Nc.
Clellan registers his name in Richmond, Wool
in Charleston, and Fremont in New Orleans we
shall begin to have hopes of restoration oil
pacific relations.
The war seems to Or. Adams to bs quite
accidental. According to his notion, it was
speech which somebody made in Mont
gomery the night of the capture of Sumter.
which left the North no alternative but war.
The cause of the difficulty, however, lbs far
back of that 1t is, not Slavery, but anti
Slavery; in other words, Z" the great original
" of all this trouble is the conscientious oPpo-
" siton of the people Of the Free States to the
:. relation of ownership in man." and Of
course the Dr.'s remedy is the cessation OF this
opposition. This would, undoubt-
eddy, be efectual, if there were net insuper-
able obstacles in the way. Conscience is o
hard thing to overcome; aud the principles Of
civil liberty embodied in the Free State Con-
stitutions express the settled convictions of the
people, SO that there is no hope whatever that
they viii be rooted out by sermons, books Of
travel, or relgio-politico novels OF the sable
cloud stamp. And none bat lunatic would
SUPPOSE that war like this, with its loss Of
life and treasure, would help bring about any
such modification of opinion as DR.. Adams deems
necessary. His theory of the result OF the war
il that We shall let the South alone hereafter,
and leave to Providence the question as to the
destiny of the slaves. The North, he says,
must adopt such views as the candid Christian
people of the South generally entertain, or con-
sent that they shall, unmOlested, perpetuate
or change their social state and if the
latter, in their own time and way. Con-
sdering the fact that the Shareholders
have made war upon us, not because We
have meddled with their institution, but be-
cause we have taken precautions that it shall
not NEEDLE with and destroy us, this is refresh
ingly cool, aud shows that the preacher who is
undertaking to find solution of our troubles
is not only prepared for any degradation to
which the shareholders may ask us to submit,
but eager to consent to it. lie thinks tina. the
North is wrong and the South right, and he
hopes that the result of the contest will be,
not the undisputed supremacy Of the free ideas
and institutions of the North, but the tolerance
of tho patriarchal institution throughout the
country. In fact, Slavery is DR.. Adams's
ebony idol. He graciousy comedies that the
Lord may, if He sees fit, DO away with it;
but il ia evident that his ideas of the Divine
wisdom will be very greatly diminished if He
does. And he even goes SO far as to allow
that the shareholders, in their own time, nay
do away with it, if they please. But if the
Northern people make the war war foe
emancipation, every State in the Union viii DO
likely TO be in the condition of Missouri That
is to say, if the people of the North take adj
vantage of the war to aim a blow or let
blow be aimed at what every man not a luna
tie, an idiot, OF an Adams, knows TO be the
sole cause OF the war, the Pro-Slayery men.
with the priests at their head, will resist, and
rally to Sayery's defense. 1t is painful to
witness such fanaticism for Slavery in New
England clergyman but it is quite harmless.
We have no reason to doubt that an immense
majority of the people, including most of tho
heretofore Pro-Sayery classes, would gladly
welcome an opportunity to do away with
Slavery. Poll Essex-street Church itself, and
we cannot doubt that the PrOSlavery priest
would find himself in meager minority.
