intervention assumed the form Of Abolitionism,
because slavery was odlous in name and BY as
sociati0n to the Northern mind, and because II
was that which most obviously marks the diff
ferent civilizations of the two sections. The
South herself, In her earlier and later efforts to
rid herself of Ii, had exposed the weak and Of
fensive parts of slavery TO the world. Aboli.

for and defend the assumed social, economic
and political merit and value Of the institu-
