kbOlitioniSts.

The word "Abolitionist' is derived from
the transi,ive verb GJoIi>h, which Webster
defines as follows: "AboiI>h-l. To make
void; TO annul; to abrogate, applied chiefly
and appropria ely to established laws, con-
trac.s, rites, customs, and institutions. 3. To
destroyed" Now let us see what our Aboli
tionists have UJoiisLed, destroyed, annulIed
and made void:
They have abolished liberty.
They have abolished the Union.
They have abolished the Constitution.
They have abolished trial by jury.
They have abolished the laws and the
courts.
They have abolished ten States
They have abolished u Republican form of
government.
They have abolished the peace and fractcr.
nifty OF the country.
They have abolished all respect for writ
ten Constitution.
They have abolished the sacredncss of the
church
They have abolished the freedom ofspccch
They have abolished the freedom of the
press.
i hey have abolished freedom of opinion.
They have abolished freedom of religion
They have abolished all that the late war
was wagcd for.
They have abolished all that our fore
fathers fought for.
They have abolished gold and silver.
They have abolished equal rights to all.
They have abolished equal taxation.
They have abolished economy and honesty
in the administration of The government
They have abolished low prices cheap liv.
ing. good tunes aud the general pros sperity
They have abolished the cotton crop. aud
the millions OF gold resulting from our ex-
ports.
They have abolished n million of lives.
They have abolished from three TO six thou
sand mIli"nS of treasure.
They have abolished our Southern market.

With such a record and such achievements

The last words of Henry Clay. as death

The Virginia Pulpit Orator.

A correspondent of the Petersburg Lader
writing itOm Baltimore says:
but there was pul PIT prodigy here the
same day, who is growing into such fame as
bids fair to rival that Of Spurgeon. His name
IS Munsey, and he is u member of the Balti-
more Conference we believe, OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church-South. He has not been
long at this calling, and was an unlettered
man in humble life but comparatively few
months back, when his talent was revealed to
a friend, who aided him to the short culture
with which he is producing such wonderful
effect. His power Of oratOry is said to be
miraculous. aud his reasoning faculties no less
so. People here and in the Valley flock to
hear him, aud his influence is talked of and
felt everywhere. l could not gain a seat in
the church in which he held forth Sunday
night; But several friends who we're more
fortunate report that ali the praises they had
previously heard bestowed upon him fell far
short Of the real height of his powers
Certain it is, that hereafter he will be so
famous as to cause interest even from this mea-
gre notice OF his ministerial beginning"
We find the above paragraph in several of
our exchanges, aud copy it for two reasons
first because it contains a merited compliment
to Mr. Munsey; and secondly, for the pur-
pose of correcting an error or TWO into which
the writer has fallen. The writer is mistaken
as to the length OF time Mr.. Munsey has been
in the ministry. Instead of but u few months,
he has been in it several years-a dozeu at
least. He was not an unlettered man when
he entered upon his work, but ii we'll taught,
though selI.taught boy, Of some 16 or II
years of age. He was not aided by friend,
but has made himself what he is by his own
unaided efforts. He is a native of one of the
mountain counties Of this Congressional Dis
trict-TaZewell. we beleve-and was thrown
upon his own resources when he was about
l6, with a widowed mother, who is still liv-
ing, and several sisters, thrown upon him for
support aud protection. He sustained them
by the labor of his hands in summer, and by
teaching school in winter.
Mr.. Munsey is really a prodigy-a wonder
full prodigy-and withaI an unassuming, hum.
Bile, conscientious christian. lie is certainly
among the abIest thcologians Of the day, and
as pulpit orator has but few equals and lew
er supcriors.-ALi"y,ion TrgiMiun.

Judgments, ''that 1t ceases to excite interest.
and is apt to be left solitary aud neglected.
the control which the law still giyes to n
man over the disposal of his property. is one
OF the most efficient means which he has, in
protracted life, to command the attentions
due his intirmities. The will of such an aged
man ought to be regarded with great tender
ness. when it appears not to have been pro-
cured by fraudulent acts, but contains those
very dispositions which the circumstances Of
his situation, aud the course OF the natural
affections dictated"
A large and fashionable audience was
present at the Theatre Royal, Montreal. on

first and second acts was recognized by the
audience. who arose and cheered him loudly
Subsequently the orchestra played Dixie, and
on the termination three cheers were again
given. which Mr.. Davis recognized by re-
peated bows. He was accompanied by sew
eral members Of the Howell family.
