at the rapid growth of the
fruit of this Abolition seed,
Was that cause for gloriilcation?
And then when the harvest was full and
ripe the land was drenched with blood
by civil war, horrible in all Its details
and consequences. Brothers hands were
died in the blood of brothers; the bravest
and best OF all our land, both North and
South, were slain by the thousands ana
tens of thousands. From the Lakes to
the Gulf, thousands Of miles travel are
marked BY the Golgothss of our kindred
Are these causes for glorifcation? In
every homestead and hamlet throughout
all this broad land, mourning mothers
wives and sisters to-day sit, Ike NioDE
in her unutterable woe, lamenting those
who fell victims to the natural effects
of this poisonous seed Of AboIltlonism; !;
the very foundation of our civil ihstitu-
tions shaken, our social system revolu-
tionizcd and even our religious
polity contaminated. These are but the
consequences of that sowing.
And today what do we witness?
Eleven states fthis Union someo of them
which contributed so largely to the for
nation of our prided American govern
ment, are held in bondage more degrad-
ing and CALLING than that of the serf to
his Russian master Like ZENOBIA, clad
in her purple and adorned with her
gold, they are dragged along, chained to
the triumphal car of the conqueror.
The former master Is made slave to
his late bond6man. Intelligence is pros
trated at the feet of Ignsrance--the Cau
cassian is smitten by the African. In
their legislative halls
"Where once the Caesars dwelt

Their judiciary is under the control of
negroes, and in this connection we ap-
pend telegram which, but few days
ago, went flashing over the wires through
out tho entire country, stating the cause
for great excitement existing in South
Carolina.

of the election by the legislature to-day

tion. In Charleston circuit, Judge Reed,
a moderate Republican, is replaced. by
Whipper (colored) Ex-Governor F. j.
Moses, ,Jr., is elected i'll the third circuit
Are these causes for glorifcation
The old Democratic policy in the admin
istration of the government may have
been deemed 'intolerant," yet it was
pure. There was no official corruption
How is it since we have been fed on the
fruit grown from the seed of Abolition
ism? We are told that politics are SO
corrupt at Washington that the man in
the moon holds his nose when passing
over that place. We are informed by a
Republican that it will take six months
time, and an expenditure of $4,000
to investigate official defalca-
tions in this Abolition har
vest field. Are there causes for glorifica-
ton? We could PROFOUND the question
and go on indefinitely enumerating ills
resulting from the sowing of that perni-
cious seed. War, blood, famine, pesti-
lence'; hate, corruption, bankruptcy, des-
truction of personal and religious liberty,
suspension of the habeas corpus, military
trials and the conviction of innocent par
ties. and a thousand and one other enor-
mites are IN the catalogue, but Se
refrain for the present from pur-
suing the subject further. 1t is unpleasant
to contemplate and dwell upon them,
and to our mind, at least no cause for
glorying in the natural results of Aboli-
tionism presents itself. In the disorders
which afTlict the country, the philosophic
mind sees the natural and inevitable re-
suits Of well known causes. The seeds you
have sown have been those of i'll will,
bitterness, injustice and diShOnor. Had
your sowing been otherwise the country
would now be enjoying peace, prosperity
and contentmcut, and you would have
awakened in the people a grateful atfec-
tion in return. But as you have planted
in hate and corruption, so have been the
