We Irish Democrats may not like the
complexion Of :hiugs, and We may abuse
till We burst. the Abolitionists as principal
instigators of the Southern revolt, bu: facts,
whether just or unjust, are against US.
The Abolitionists have actually carried the
day, and it is utterly out Of our power to
drive them back to night again. Aboli.
iionism of the most perpetual and sweeping
kind is sweeping the entire nation. And
we may as we'll not resist the National cur
rent. The tide is rising: let US not permit
it to leave US in the solitary sand. As
there is Christian philanthropy in emanci-
pating the blacks, let us have that philan-
,hropy; as it is justice to the nation to
destroy slavery, let US be just to the nation /;
and, as the future peace of the country de-
mands the ruin of slavery, let US secure the
future peace of The country. Away with
par,izanship! Away with mere prejudice.
Away with the nonsense Of resisting the
national current. Let Us at all events accept
with grace that which We cannot undo.
