mtsCegenat1On.
This word is now become as familiar,
both by members of Congress, and news
paper editors as any household word, al
though we believe it never has been used
anterior to the reign of Abraham the First.
1t is useless we would suppose, for our
readers to look for the word in an English |
dictionary at the present time; it will be |
put in hereafter in other editions. AL |
though the word is young itself its ances-
tors are of great antiquity. Its parent |
nuscto to mix, and we see that word figu-
ring in history and poetry long before the
Christian Era, used by Cicero, Virgil, &c.
Its other parent or rather grand parent
ggno to beget, for it is from one of the
accidents of this word, genmi is of still
greater antiquity, for we see that the au-
thor of nature Himself by the mouth of
David uses it when he says, "inte iuci-
Jtcru,n genm te"-..Before the day star
have begottcn thee " So we zee it is of
respectable origin. 1t means a mixing of
the white and black races, and our read
ers need not trouble themselves any fur
ther about it.
Abraham Lincoln and his whole cabi-
net are full of this doctrine. Not only the
President and cabinet, but the Abolition
lists Of every grade and type look upon
this programme with favor. Sumner who
thinks hing jthc Nestor of the Abolition
party, and the party itself concede the
HISTORIAN qualities, which were exhibited
at the siege of Troy, to this man Sumner,
| he lives and moves and has his being on
the doctrne contained in this word. 1t
| is bis study by day and his dreams by
night. He stands very high in the aboli-
ton ranks, but whether it is because nc
is good artificer of words, or whether it
| is because he was lathered by Brooks with
! a cane we know not. But that is no
reason why the aboltionists should defy
| him. Seward can manufacture as many
words as Sumner can, and can make his
meaning fully as obscure. And as to his
Gaming, there are are very few boys of
twelve years old, who have not got as
much from their parents for some juvenile
misdemcanor or youthful indiscretion. -
Nevertheless the abolition party after
Brooks whaled him, pedled him around
the United States, and through Europe to
create a sensation in favor of their party.
He was even in this county at the Gale
gheny Mountain Health Institute" spent
some time there, and during his residence
converted the Physician of the Institution
who had previously been a Democrat, to
be a rampant adhcrent of the abolition
doctrine.
Thaddeus Stevens, the bold and reck-
less destroyer of his country's constitution,
That he was sworn TO support, not only
| openly avows that doctrine, but has al
ways put 1t in practice. 1t is said Le has
/ ifed many years in notorious concubin-
age with dusky daughter of African de-
r scent. We admire his sincerity and his
, boldness He would not stultify himself
; by any silly pretences of supporting The
Constitution or restoring the Union. He
, boldly avows his doctrine of subiugation
> and determination of the southern people.
If they don't free their slaves, and then
come and beg amnesty and get admitted
. into the new Government, rs CONQUERED
provinces. What that new Government
is to be he, has not told us vet. bpt no
. will in due time. He is an outsnokep
: man and will doubtlessly tell all about il.
Whatever his plan is to be, we have no
doubt the whole kennel of Abolition;sts
will follow him as litter would follow n
female swine to a hole in the garden fence.
As he said himself - he is always ahead
of his party" SO much so, that sometime
it might be thought they would miss the
track, but they still keep on---they are
Ike John Browns spirit-.t they are
marching on
