the embar-assments Z dangers of war, we
should not forget that tie essential ED of gov
eminent and 81 struggles FOR government, is the
protection Of society and the securing It's vel
fare, physically, morally, and mentally. The
neglect Of educating the rising generation ID al.

Lss. wseki says his Richmond DisaateH, the
ASolidonisss hold jubiless in New York and
Philadelphia. The TSiJaHs claims for them that
they elected Lincoln in 1860, and that "Esslsrity
will DO item justice" That paper, however, Is
entirely too modest. The Aheliionfsts have
soae 4 COED deal more thaa elseS tbs Gorilla,
and in lho matter Of doing sAsm justice re vii
anticipate posterity = little, and copy ths follow
ing from the New York Herald of Saturday
last:
In 1860, ths American AboliGionisss, pare and
Simple, naabsTod about enc hsndrsd thousand
persons. In 1910, when hey ran Mr.. Birn4y
Tor Presideat, the Abnlitionists polled seven
thousand votes. In 1874, with the ssFna caRdi
date, thsY p0iisd sixty-twO thousand votes In
Is4S, they inIeTmiuglsd with TIC FIeesailers,
AID gave Van BaIen thrs. hundred thousand
voEes. Fsom that time forth tina pure Abolition
vete is 30 mixed up VITA Che ErResoil vots and
the Republican vote that we cannot get at It
with much accuracy. Sill, We believe that ons
hundred thGUsBnd ia 8 fair estimate Of the nam
Der Of true, radical AbOlsiOnisFs who have fol-
lowed the dag Of Garrison ana Phillips, and who
sTs entitled to share IN tho credit of the Adolf
ton work, and in the glory which now crowns
sha Labor. Ia this number we include all such
CID women a. Greeley, and such ysurg wemsn
rs Titen.
What these enc hundred thousand Abolition
lists have accomplished may be stated q a very
/ few words. They have accomplished the pres
ent vsr. They have worked fer it thirty years,
snd sers il is. They have wrecked = powerful,
psRceful and happy country. They have ar
FEyea broiksr against brother, father against
son, children against parents. They heV5 FLIED
the land wiz widows and orphans. They havs
tTEasioTnsd lie country into Z vast graveyard.
They have shed su OCEAN of biood and sqUan-
aered mountains Of money. Trey have Esds

During this abolition war ct least ons hun
drsa thousand men have been killed, feur hug
GTed thousand have been disabled fer lie; thus
half q million have bean subjected to des.h,

uader than above the mark; for the rebel hiEfft
stssrls that he sloBo has destroyed eleven nil
lions Of dollars worth Of ships and carEoes, And
Senmes has certainly dss .roycd much nors.
The war deb. CT the North and South amounts
to about Eve rhouaand millions Of dollars. If
ihs war ends BY the aboIh0n of slavery we
shall have to keep . standing army OF a bHl-
bred taessaDd men, aud support TWO or three
~nifisns Of izdigest negroes for several years.
Buk va will leave thAt probability cut Of the
account, and viii also refrain from Estimating
the millions aud billions OF dollars which the
now impeded industry of this Country would
have produced had net the AbolitiOnisis caused
tails war.
We wish 70 eonfRe ourselves TO facts and az-
ufes OF indisputable s~uiheutcity. Aad what
DO these facts and figures shsw1 Estimating

are Thugs to Do proud CT, LET tbs AaolaisuiyH

Taking he abGve Statistics as a besis, q very
simple process Of arithmetic VIII Demonstrate
that each ons Of sUr one hundred Thousand Alb
e~Ei9aists has caused the death Of one man ard
tie Ise-lerg disability Of four men, and Gas al

Individual Abeliionists have been more or
less guilty according to their opportunities sud

have more than one dead man, four wounded

Wendell Phillips is ia The same ease.
