Most firmly do we believe Aboltionlsm
is destined to die, and already do we SEQ
tokens Of its approaching its end. That is
just the phase. Ithas an end, a purposeto
accomplish, and that reached, what more
can be asked Of it. For is it not only
meansto IN end? When the massive walls
Of the Custom House we're going up in
this city, q familiar sight to all cur citizens
was the array Of derricks and hoisting ap-
paratus that stood about the walls. There
were the long sheds. Of the workmen,
and the sharp cliuk day atter
day Of the workmen's tools,
ns the stones were shaped and fitted.
There was street obstructed with blocks
of stone, and piles Of rubbish. But by
and by this all disappeared and was re-
moved. It disappeared from public view,
and no one inquired where the derricks
had gone, or the sheds, CT the rubbish
There stood the noble building and these
were only the means to that end.
When the Val1andig tell IN that
Abolitionism is dying ont, and must die be-
fore the country is safe, wesay amen God
speed the day when Abo1itionism shall be
no more. And we sgree with them as to
the manifest tokens Of decadence. The
building is advancing nobly: The work
is making excellent progress. Very
soon We may perhaps be able
TO dismiss and pay of the workmen, and
brush away the rubbish and debris Of con-
srucdon, and see the work Of Abo1iion-
ism completed in q temple Of Liberty which
shall include amongit It's worsh1ppers every
man, woman and child, black as well as
white, in this reunited and rescued land.
Manifestly after that We shall need no abo-
liion, for there will be nothing to abolish.
Our beautiful Custom House would only
be disfgured by 3 line Of derricks round
about its walls, now that every stone Is in
its place and fifty Joined together.
Are there not tokens of this manner
Of freeing the land Of Abolitionism It
asprcfi:ahle to review them and take eour-
age. Look at the list
I. Slavery is abolished forever In the
Distr1es of Columbia and all the Territories
of the United States, present and future.
Free labor will no more be c1bowed out Of
its birthright BY the negro drivers on the
virgin soil Of these embryo States.
g. An offer has been made By the Presi.
bent Of the United States for compensated
emancipation.
8. 4 new treaty for the suppression o1
the slave trade has been made with Eng
land.
T. The United States has recognized the
humanity Of the black race (abroa1 by the
recognition Of the colored republics ol
Hayti and Liberia among the brotherhood
Of nations.
s. Protection is furnished to the slaves oi
rebels seeking our army lines. and thei
freedom is guaranteed.
6. The President is authorized to make
the colored race useful in any military o.
naval capacity in this war against the
rebels.
z. The slaves of all rebels are to BIZ
emaucipated-
8. The people and the army are nov
HaGy to hear the President declare UNI.
VERSAL EMANCIPATION Throughout
the land to all the inhabitants thereof"
This last is the best Of all, or rather. the
elimination Of all Such an order, eman-
sting from the War Department, would be
received with one shout of welcome from
Maine to Minnesota. AL this has come to
Us as the earliest fruits Of this war which
Slavery has brought upon us. Ali this in
six months' time. Said we not right that
the end Of Aboli.ionism approaches that
1t will die out Of the land2 Let every loyal
liberty loving man thank God and take
couragei and for man to be loyal and
not liberty loving, is to be like the mole
and owl abroad at noonday-&he sun Il
shining but the poor creatures do moi
zee it -
