praises of the Presidents scheme resemble the
loud whistles of frightened schoolboy as he
passes churchyard. Still they have to vote
for the resolution, lest the country should ac-
cuse them of turning their backs upon them
selves; but like Beau Hickman in the House,
they make wry faces about it, try to STAB the
President under the fifth rib, and slash at every
thing and everybody in the desperate style
OF q maniac threatened with strait waist
coat That the abolitionists should be thus
forced into endorsing a message which sinks
them for ever is the best practical joke OF the
season.
The Presidents Message, then, is practical
enough and we, who are practical people,
decidedly approve of it. 1t kills abolitionism;
and, that monster once dead, the slaves of the
District of Columbia and of the border States
will no doubt be emancipated, as they would
have been thirty years ago if Greeley, Beecher,
Cheever, Garrison, Phillips and other fanatics
had not riveted their chains Let the resolution
of the President be amended so as to include
the District of Columbia, therefore, and imme-
diately passed. The abolitionists may shout
and glorify themselves because the temple OF
slavery will then fall in the border States. 1t
is satisfaction enough for us to know that, like
Samson, these agitators will be crushed beneath
the ruins.
