These are the sentiments that the
abolition press endorse. These are the
men Phillips, Pilsbury, Garrison,
Sumner ard company-that the higher
lawites proclaim as the leading spirits
of the age. The Chicago Tribune en-

Tribune and abolition papers generally.
Shall it be said that the teachings OF
such men shall be endorsed in the Uni.

day may never come. 1t would surely
be the last days OF the nation.
