A YANKEE REVIEW OF WHAT THE ABoLI-
| TIoNIsTs HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
| Lest week, says the Richmond Dispatch the Abo-
litionsts held jubilees in New York and Philadelphia
The Trbune claims for them that they elected Lincoln
! in 1860 and that posterity will do them justice y
That paper however, is entirely too modest. The Alb
olitonists have done good deal than elect the
Gorilla and in the matter of doing them justice we
will anticipate poserity little and copy the following
from the New York Herald OF Saturday last
In 1860, the American Abolitionists pure and SIM
ple numbered about one hundred thousand persons
In 1840 when they Mr. Birney for President, the
Abolitionists poled seven thousand votes. In 1914
with the same candidate, they polled sxy-twa thou
sand votes In 1948 they interminged with the Free
sellers, and gave Van Buren, three hundred thousand
votes. From that time forth the purs Abolition vote
is mixed up with the Freesoi vote and the Repub-
can vote that cannot get at it with much accura-
cy Still, believe that one hundred thousand Is
fair estimate of the number Of true, radical Abolition
lists who have followed the flag of Garrison and Phillips,
and who entitled to share the credit of the Ab
clifton work. and in the glory which crowns their
labor In This number we include all such old women
as Greeley, and such young women as Illton
What these one hundred thousand AbotiOnlSts have
accomplished may be stated in very few words Ihey
have accomplished the present They have worked
u
powerful peaceful and happy country. They have ar.
rayed brother against brother father against chill
dren against parents. They have filled the land with
widows and orphans They have transformed the csun
into vast graveyard They have shed an ocean OF
blood and squanlered mountains of money. They have
ma the air heavy with the shreks of the wounded the
creams of the dying and the lamentations of the mourn
ers They have devastated the fields end plantations OF
the South and destroyed the commerce OF the ORTIZ
They have given check to the progress OF civiliza
ton and Democratic Institutions from which it will
take years to IL this they have accomplished
in thirty years One hundred thousand hends let loose
from the lowest bell and inspired by the most internal
malice could not have accomplished mischief 10
the same space of time 1t this be anything to rejoice
let the Abolitisnsts rejoice II they desire to
raise monument to perpetuate the remembrance OF
their triumphs our battle fields will furnish them with
enough human skulls for pyramid, and Wendell Phil
lips or Beacher would be only too happy to deliver the
address at the laying of the corner skull
During this abolition at least one hundred thou
sand men have been killed. four hundred thousand have
been disabled for life thus half million have been
subjected to death, wounds and to sickness than
wounds in the armies of both Sides What amount OF
human misery has occurred beyond and behind the
mics shalt not now inquire. The amount OF proper
ty destroyed during the may be roughly estimated
at five hundred millions of dollars. The Injury iDdict
ed upon and carrying trade may be stated
hundred millions of dollars. This is rather under
than above the mark for the rebel Maft asserts that
he alone has de troyed eleven millions of dollars worth
of ships and cargOs and Semmes has certainly destroy
ed much more.
The war debt OF the North and South amounts to
about five thousand millions of dollars. If the ends
by the abolition Of slavery we shall have to keep
standing army of hundred thousand men, ard support
two or three millions of ind ynenE negroes for several
years. But will leave that probability oat of the
account and will also restrain from estimating the mil
lions and billions Of dellars which the mpeded in
dusry of this country would have produced bad not
the Aboitonists caused this
We wish to confne ourselves to facts and figures of
indispatsse authenticity. And what do thess facts
and figures show? Estimating the white pc puation of
the United States 10 1860 at twenty-six mons-and
this is within few hundreds of the official f9ures-we
find that the Abolitioniss have been Instrumental in
causing the death of ore out OF two hundr> and
sixty people, and the Gripping otherwise disabling
one man out of every dy.two people. Also, that the
AbolitioDiss hae caused the destruction of property
valued at six hundred millions of dollars, and
penditure of about FIVE thousand millions. II these
things be proud Of let the Aboiouists hold per-
petual jubilee
Taking the above statistics as basis very simple
process of arithmetic will demonstrate that each OF
one hundred thousand Abotonists has caused the
death OF one and the lifelong disability of Jour men,
and has already cost the country forty six thousand dol
lars What are the cruees.and the expences of slave
ry when compared to this Its very evident, howev-
er, that the loss O. life and limb and money during this
war should not be so eq1ay divided among our one
hundred Thousand fanatics.
Individual Abolitioniss have been more OR less gull
according u 0uu tDelr
Garrison for example, should have than one dead
man, four ouDded and crippled men, and fifty six thou
sand dollars worth of destroyed property set down to
his account. Wendell Phillips is in the same case
Greeley has probably caused the death of at least
thousand men, and the remainder Of the injury which
he has inflicted upon the nation and upon humanity
must b, increased in proportion. The same remark
will apply to Beecher, Cheever Tilton, and such prom
inent Abolitionists. Sumner, Wilson, Chandler and
other Abolition politicians have larger share for
which to answer.
This sad account will certainly have to be Sc tied
some day-not in this world, perhaps, but certainly 10
the next. 1hen if the Abolltioniss find any food
Tor gladness in those facts it will be when they enter
ades and discover that the worst fends receive them
