EB A contemporary pertinently remarks
that the progress Of anti.slayery sentiments
in the border slave States seems at first
thought amazing, Yet it is in fact most nat
ura1 aid healthy. Now for the first time in
many years is there m opportunity for free
utterance of the sentiments really cherished.
Those, who were at heart opposed to the In
stitution Of slavery, could not proclaim their
belief and mike converts to It; they could
not even find out who shared It with them,
Suddenly the seal is removed from their lips
and they find that some whom they never
suspected Of agreeing with them, have really
always held views identical with their own.
And now as the confession runs from lip to
lip, the fire Of enthusiasm is kindlcd in their
hearts, md they announce their doctrines
with Ill the ardor Of new converts and preach
Them with the zeal and power which are well
nigh Irresistible.
But besides, the course Of events has now
for the first time fully awakened the inhabi-
ttal9tase IT, Of .the - Border States to perception
They see in the light Of the condagration It
has caused what hateful thing It is. They
hare started up as If from dream and asked
themselves why they never understood the
real spirit Of the Institution before, why they
never saw that it carried in itself spirit OF
essential snd irreconcflable hostility to those
democratic principles, on which our govern
ment Is founded. They have for the first
time clearly perceived that the material, no
less than the moral, and the political, and the
sotia1 interests of those States require its re-
moyal.
