HAsTY AcTIoN.-The Legislatures OF
several States have already ratified the
Abolition amendment Of the Constitution
proposed by Congress The Abolition
leaders seem to be crazy upon the sub
ject, and are acting with needless haste
upon matter which seems to demand
the most thoughtful delberation. Wise
men would give it proper consideration ;
patriotic men would hesitate long before
they would repudiate that which the pa,
triotS Of the Revolution approved; but
6 fools rush in where patriots fear to
tread" Truly "they know not what
they do" and yearsApOf suffering alone
will open their eyes to the wickedness OF
the criminal haste in which they seek to
rush through measure of such vast mo-
ment. If the people are so unanimously
in favor of it, why not give them an op-
portunity to express their sentiments p
Are the advocates of the amendment
afraid to submit the question to the peo-
pie? Their hasty action looks so?

ooD.LErTING". CLERGYMEN.-If the
burdens it imposes upon the people, and
the sorrow aud death it brings to almost
every family. did not render the matter
too seriouSsit would be quite amusing to
notice the many blessings tie Clergy per-
suade the people arc to come of the mu-
tual slaughter the 1wO sections of our
country are now engaged in. As one
runs over the long catalogue of these
blessings, as presented from time to time,
he is almost persuaded that war, with its
destruction of property and plundering Of
homes and butcbering of men and viola
ton Of women, is one Of the most human
izing, ennobling and gracious Of all Chris
tian instrumentalities- short that q
generation Of men who should live and
die without partaking Of the grace Of
"blcOd.letting," could hardly attain to
the state of manhood, either in the world
or in the church. A certain bloody
preacher, named johnson, INDUCED in
this strain, not long since, at Portland,
Maine:
"Blood letting may save our life This cru
cial experience upon which we have entered
may teach us the sad, sweet, salutary lesson of
self denial, as nothing else could teach u.s.
In the occasion which has laid upon many in
our land the necessity for narrower economy
than they ever have known before, we dare to
hope that God is dealing with us BY way of
discipline, which, while it Furnishes, still is de-
signed TO save"
Charming and gracious instrumental
ty is "blood-letting"l And the only fear
Of these bloody clergymen is, that the
butchery may cease, by "somc compro-
mise" before the consummation Of the
humanizing and Outstanding work -
Satan himself might preach this "blood-
letting" Christianity, il he could imagine
men were fools enough to believe i'll
BLOOD. letting" will doubtless embrace
the larger portion OF the "anti slavery BIZ
bc' which Burlingame promised the peo-
pie in the event Of the triumph Of the
Abolition party. Nothing could be more
becoming to such lambs as Butler, Paine,
McNcile, Burbridge and the followers of
John Brown, than this new and enabling
theology.

The NATIONAL DEBT AND CaEDlT.-The
New York Tribune, in an article on the re.
cent publication rs to the condition Of the
national finances, makes the following SEN
sible remarks:
Here it will be seen that-although we
have been disbursing millions on millions
in payment of arrear due to soldiers and
sailors from day to day mustered out Of
service-wc have ectually reduced the ag
grcgalc principal of our national debt nor e
than sixteen millions of dollars within the
last two months. No doubt, the sales Of
gunhoats, steam and sail transports. and
other public property purchased for use in
war and no longer required, has materially
contributed to this result: but We have
meantime paid OF twO dollars in discharge
Of anterior obligations to soldiers, sailors,
contractors &C., for every dollar received
from closing out sales. 1t is certainly,
therefore, that we have passed the turning
point, and may henceforth steadily reduce
our vast debt il We keep out Of foreign
complications and wars
We know there will yet be reasons
wherein our system Of stringent end search
ing tsxations will prove less productive than
now but then we hope our new Congress
will be constrained by public opinion to
inaugufate and perfect policy Of retrench
| ment which will reduce by many millions,
the annual cost Of our Government. We
haye still mob Of useless Genetals, dozens
Of skeleton regiments of veterans, e., and
any number of diplomatic, consular, or
other executive functionaries, whose places
should be abolished or their emoluments
reduced twenty to fifty per cent. If the
people will only compandit, Congress will
rasee these to the tune Of many millions OF
dollars; il the people seem indifferent. moth
ing will be done. But if Congress only re-
fra'ns from doing evil, We may reduce thu
principal Of our debt at least fifty millions
per annum. if our present hig h taxes are re-
taincd. Let M do this throughout the next
five years, and we may negotiate fresk loans,
for lang periods, 1t lower rates Of interest,
so as to reduce our annual interest to one
hundred and twenty millions, our current
expenditures to eighty millions, and thus,
while reducing cur Fcde,a! taxes fully half,
