Hall, the old Cradle of liberty in

Boston.
A. long since ~ 1888 John c. Cal
houn spoke with alarm Of the danger
to our institutions, from the continued
and nteracteds efforts of the Abo-
litionists to Undue the mind Of the ris-
ing generation with hatred to the south,
upon the ground that it's institutions
were sinful and immoral, but was ridi-
culed AS being visionary. He heard
with dismav, these men denouce the
constitution as = covenant with death
and league with he'll and the south
IS nurderers because Of their instltu-
tons, prcclaiming that it would be rem
dering God service to abolish them
even though it involved the destruction
Of half its people. What was then to
Calhoun threat in the garb of proph-
ecy, is to US history. And as singu-
lar as it may appear the ,ncipisns abo-
litionists, those that taught the people
to detest the Constitution, such a.
Garrison, Phillips, Goodell, Giddipgs,
Tappan and Gsrritt Smith ere to day
heartily cooperating with the Presi,
dent, With Seward, Chase, Sumner,
Greedy & Co., who only differed
from them by teaching that the Con-
sti,ution Of the United States was an
slavery document, that the Su-
preme Court had perverted its obvious
Intent and meaning, and that the South
had had an undue control of tho Courts,
Of Congress and Of the administrative
Offices of the government. Thus both
wings Of the opposition have been teach
ing their followers hatred to the South
Thsshrt because it faithfully lived up
to what they termed pro Slavery
Constitution, the lxttcr because it per-.
vertel what they called An antiSlavery-
Constitution to protect the institution
in states where it existed. Which
we're then the most ihone.t we shall not
stop to inquire, but it is evident now
that both wings cordially act in unison.
As specimen Of their promptings to
civil war and rebellion in 1859 John
Brown with the appreciation of'a ma
jority of this party invaded the South
With the declared object of overturning
its entire social system. Immediately
upon the heels of this came the ''Impen-
ding Crisis" endorsed not only by Mr..
Lincoln, and those who are at the heads
Of the several Departments, but also
having the cordial endorsement of
sixty eight republican members Of Congress,
and all the Garrisons Giddingses Greelys
and Phillipses in the land; the @uthor of the
work being rewarded by Mr.. Lincoln with
lucrative foreign mission. " Let Us ponder up
on these twoc1tracts asepeciEens Of it's tone
a I'd temper:
'But s:rs. Shareholder, chevalicrr, and lords
Of the lash, we are unwilling to allow you to
cheat the negroes GU, Of all their rights and
claims, to which as human beings. they are
most sacredly entitled. You have got to do
them justice, and set them free. .r
'"And now, sirs, we hare laid down our ul-
timatum. What are you going to do about
it, Perhaps you will dissolve the Union. Do
it if you dare! Our motto is, and We would
have you to understand it, the abolition Of
slavery"
'Frsemen Of the North, we earnestly invite
you to organize yourselves o. one man under
the banners ofliberty, and to aid vs. in ex-
terminating slavery. we think it will be an
easy matter; independent of the negroes, who
in nine cases out of ten would be delighted to
cut their masters throats. We are determined
to abolish slavery in defiance Of all opposition
Of whatever nature Ofthis the South may
take due notice, and govern themselves &C
cordingly" ~ -
The South interpreted the result Of the
election of 1860 as an endorsement Of these
sentiments, and this has>provoked the terrible
mischief that has dcluged the land in blood.
tuther comment is unnecessary. all can draw
their conclusions.
