No language could be more basely or

something we cannot understand. 1t is

Senate Chamber to Johnston and Wright
which amendment was opposed by the Alb

after this Abolition majority had purpose

ABOLITION

when the AbolIlionisls iirsl began their
work I'm the city Of Now York; the IN.
stincls of the community warned II OF the
presence of the serpent In Eden, taught
IA that the worst enemy OF the black race
and the deadliest foe Of the white race
was i'm yonomous lite and action, Accor,
dinply II drove them out, as n decent man
would drive out OF his house fellow who
prenches FREQ love" to his children, with
kicks and curses. An Abolitionist in
England or in slave State is q man to DO
respected and admired, because slavery
is bis business, and tho burden OF It's ex-
iinclion falls on him alike with other
members OF the community. But an Abo-
litionist in Il free State not simply propo'
ses 10 take property, but TO abuse while
he takes it.. CAsIus NJ CLAY, deserves
and received respect till he had made a
mountcbank of himself in company with
TRAIy. and A fool Of himself by injudoious
and sily uttcrances in Europe and New
York. He urged Kentucky 10 abolish
slavery. Kentucky was his state he
shared its fortune, good or bad. He was
to suffer or benefit by the policy lie
served his convictions with toll and purse
and person. lie was n man. But that
spawn Of puritanism which lectured at

women and weak minded men which
set sensation preachers 10 defraud the
theatre of ita blood and tinsel which des.
eoraled the pulpit by preaching, not
| Christ cruciied, but Peter Topping an ear,
merely cried "hayoc, and let loose the
dogs Of war" carefully grabbing at con-
tracts and piling up wealth, every dollar
wet with the blood OF n fellow, citizen -
And men talk Of the gallows for the hard
working laborer inoited to passion by the
( idea that he is to bleed to-day, and groan
beneath burdens of taxation MI his life
for n cause which he detssts; and, soc with
Iarplause, men, soris OF whom have been
practically preaching civil war for twenty
! years in inc highest places OF trust and
poy,er and one who avowed designs oil
Idsurion for twenty years, publicly hon.
ored By an American senate. Fermentng
| in the minds Of the people OF this coum
/ try is the notion that this Administration
has not waged this war for tho Union,
but for the abolition of slavery and the
equality Of the negro with the white
The full conviction Of that idea has not
vet come to them, but the proofs are acS
cumulating, and before six months the
issue will be mado. We have done our
duty in the way of warning against this
madness we have protested against the
} unconstitutional acts Of the executive ant
Congress; we have striven with our weak
strength to prevent the United State
from rushing down that steep at the bot
tom of which lies civil war. If we saw

r. il IN no boped that the legislature OF tins
state. about to assemble for an extra session.
will take ample measures to secure success
in the attempt to raise the men called tor,
without draft. The act taking from towns
and cities the power to offer bounties for re.
cruits. was not well considered; and we very
much doubt whether any measure that shall
take from the municipalities of the state the
right to manage their own local affairs, will be
satisfactory anywhere. If the legislature shall
see fit 70 otter additional bounties, very well;
but why should it undertake to deprive any
municipality Of the right to do what it may
find to be necessary to secure recruits? Cir
cumstances vary. 1t may be much easier to
get men in some localities than in others; snd
why should any town or city be forbidden to
provide Tor It's own case in its own way?
1t is no more than just that those who en-
list should be properly paid, either in boGn
ties, an increase of monthly pay, or both;
and each town and city must judge for itself
what it needs to add to the bounties and other
inducements offered by the state and national
governments. A contemporary suggests that
such additional inducements can be provided
for private subscription: but this is not the
most excellent and proper way. Whatever is
thus added should come from the town or city
itself. and the whole matter should be man
aged by the local authorities, and not by pri-
vate individuals. This is the only equal, Just
regular and reliable method of doing such
work and those concerned should be left tree
to do it in this way. The policy that seeks to
restrain them, and put them under guardian
ship, in this matter, may be well meant, but
tits mistaken.
The men called FOR can be raised by enlist
ment, if proper efforts and means are used 10
secure them. Success may be reached more
easily in some towns than in others; and,
consequently, more effort and inducement
may be required in one town than in another:
but the effort can be made successful any
where, if the people in each locality can
be left reasonably free to do, through
the local authorities. what, in their judy
ment, the peculiarities of each ease
may require. An attempt to restrain this
freedom, has made necessary an extra session
of the legislature, for which we must wait
when we should be at work with everything
arranged and clearly understood. We hope
this circumstance will be well considered and
appreciated by our lawmakers, and that they
will inquire, seriously, ii it be not possible, in
some cases, to govern too much" At any
rate, we ask the Legislature to be considerable
ndli5erdl in providing measures to secure en-
hstments.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 8.-The following is
copy of another letter from the jefferson Da-
Wis correspondence:
STEURLAND, NEAR EDGEFIELD, June l6,
l05l.-L Confidential. lily dear Colonel: -
The locker on can sometimes see more than
the gamester, such being your situation at
this time N reference to our affairs in South
Carolina. l hope l may appeal to you for
counsel and suggestions. Our people are very
much in earnest, but there is fear of division
and intestine contest. An issue has been
made before the people making 1t imperative
on our convention to put South Carolina on
the trial of separate secession. How will
such move affect the party of true men in
your state. Will ithelpyou orwillitimpalr the
strength, or interfere with the onward move
ments of the states rights parties in other
states? | believe this state could be induced
to make any sacrifice for the common cause
OF those who contend that the general govern
ment IS a cOntederacy, and not consolidated
government. If it is of the latter character,
the southern states are doomed to degraded
subordination. They can hold their rights by
no other means than sufferance. Should
South Carolina move alone, without the as
surance from her neighbors of cooperation,
she will, fear, make vain sacrifice. Give
me your opinion contidentialy as to the course
she should pursue so as far as she may affect
the interest OF other southern states.
Do write freely. Believe me, yours, with
The highest respect, A. p. BUTLER.
Col. Jefferson Davis, Mississippi.
7. 81 wrote to you at jackson, suppos-
ing that letter will reach you from that place,
as soon us from any other.

News from Washington.

1t is thought that the public interest does
not require any further payment at present of
gold on Understanding certificates of in
debtedness before maturity, and the secretary
of the treasury has accordingly directed the
discontinuance of such payment excepting on
certificates already presented or now in tran
sit to the department.
The secretary of state has arrived in this
city By the night train from New York, hav-
ing lett his son, Col. Seward, convalescent.
He authorizes the gratifying announcement
that the French government, upon the remon-
STRANGE of Minister Dayton, has promptly and
most honorably arrested the six IRON rams
which we're building at Nantes and Bordeaux.
The Sunday Chronicle announces a fact of
much interest in this city and this neighbor-
hood, viz: that the secretary Of war has dis
continued the office of provost marshal Of the
war department, but the late incumbent, Col.
Baker, will remain in Washington for the
present.
