He has cursed the Constitution q haRaTed
times. He has labored nineteen years to
take nineteen States MT Of tie Union.
Ha has cursed the Constitution anil the
Union and endedvored to break ii; and he
thanks God a IS broken. Was ever See
cessionist more hostile to his country, SO
far as spirit and language are concerncdH
| Who is most hostile to the Constitution and
the Union, as established by our honored
fathers Is it Wendell Phillips, or Jet-
ferson Davis?
Lloyd Garrison, in his paper, the Lib
orator, in giving his objections to the Pres
ident's late message, is quoted as saying;
"Fifth-Thc President is at war with
common sense, sound reason, the teach
ings of history, the instincts and aspira-
tons Of human nature, the laws of politi--
cal economy, and the uniform results OF
emancipation, when he says; In my judg-
ment, gradual and not sudden emancipa,
tion, is better for all, in the mere finan-
cial or pecuniary view'-bocause no such
patry consideration is allowable, even if
it we're (as it surely is not,) we'll founded,
Ethically and pecuniarily, immediate
emancipation is better for all parties; and
the President is culpable for keeping up
) the old dolusion of 'gradualism.' Away
} with it!
No wonder he should thus oppose the
Presidents views, when he regards the
Constitution of the United states Gas q
covenant with death and an agreement
with hell"
The NewYork Observer, Of March 3th
says that Parker Pillsbury, at y Conven
ton held in Albany, Feb. 7th and Sth
made an address, occupying five columns
of the Aati. Slavsyy Sandar&, in which
occur these sentences
II do not wish to see this Government
prolonged another day in its present form
On the contrary, I have been for twenty
years attempting to overthrow the present
dynasty. 4 If do not
misjudge the Constitution, whatever may
have been its real character, it was never
SO much an engine Of cruelty and of crime
as it is the present hour. 1t seems to me
the present Administration is, on the one
hand, the a0eakeSt and on the other hand
the acacke1eSt, VIC have ever had. Mr.
Buchanan's Administration is under inf
mite obligations to it for casting its wicked
ness and imbecility so far into the shade.

in victory, because l do not believe The
North is in any condition to improve any

I think the abolitionists fail sufficiently t
