LET The DEAD Bury ITS DE.p-Dapiel s

LET The DEAD BURY ITS DEAD.-Daniel S.
Dickinson said in a recent speech:
Some friend, | suppose, has sent me a
memorandum-'s What about the abolition
lists and the Anti Slavery Society?" l will
tell you, my friend. Do not get rusted like
an old weathercock, and think the wind
is blowing northwest because it blew there
las. January. If you read your history JUS
tly, you will find what l have said about
that question, and when it is question
again | will tell you what | say shall about it
But feliow the advice of the Savior, :. Let
the dead bury their dead" We have a
live question to deal with now, and let us
not disinter any dead ones Our country is
in danger; we are crying nightly upon all
to rally around, and it matters not to me
whether the eonfagration was kindlcd by
Abolitionists or Democrats. The question is
how to put out the fre-not how it origina-
ted. Abolitionists were apparently harm
less concern. if they had rot been aided by
seven other spirits more licked than them
selves
