Slavery Abolished.

On our inside will be found the Procla-
nation of VIM. II. Seward, Secretary Of
State, announcing that the amendment to
the Constitution passed by the last Con-
gress, has been approved by three-fourths
of the legislatures of the states, and conse-
quently slavery is legally, constitutionally,
and effectually abolished in the United
States, and henceforth there shall be Meth
er slavery nor involuntary servitude, ex-
ccpt as q punishment for crime, within the
United States, or in any place subject to
their jurisdiction. This we hope is the
final settlement Of the chief and almost on
ly cause of difference between the North
and the South, and henceforth we are one
nation, and one people, having equal and
undivided interests one state with the
other.
