Slavery Abolished.

In the month of December, A. D. 1860,
on the 2lst day Of the month, the State OF
South Carolina passed the first ordinance Of
secession. Tint wns virtual declaration oil
war against the Government Of the United
States One southern state after another fol-
lowed, until the whole of the slave-holdng
states, with the exception of Delaware, Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri rebcllcd, and
the states we have excepted were only half
loyal The object of this rebellion was to
strengthen ;,nd perpetuate savory-to build
an empire, as Alex. ii. Stephens said, whose
cornerstone should be slrvery, and to give it
the stamp, as Dr. Palmer declared, Of divine
institution
The rebellion thus organized was formi-
dable one. The rebels fought desperately
but they were finally conquered, and now in
the month of December, lS65-precisely five
years from the date of the first act of seces-
sion, we have an official proclamation from
the Secretary Of State, declaring that the
amendment abolsbing slavery is a part of the
Constitution Of tho United States.
We live in a remarkable period of the
world s.history, and no event of this period,
or any othcr period, is SO remarkable or so
grand as that to which we refer. Five years
ago four million people we're firmly held in
bondage So firmly were they held that to
sneak against the institution was regarded as
little, if any, short Of treason, But TO make
those bonds more secure, the shareholders
sought TO destroy the Union and establish an
independent Government. The result is: the
rabeilion they inaugnrated bas been crushed,
and the bonds they sought 10 strengthen have

Simon Gainall sat posting his books, and Try
