the war into an abolition crusade can be
gratified. We need hardly sa what we
nave so often reiterated that to this
mode of eliding the war. we are emphat

the future. If such result becomes u
necessity, the n.ition must submit to it, as
to upv other unavoidable affliction, but
we are in favor of resisting il to the ex

2. J'.niiinr'qHUiin : It cannot bo denied
thai, there is a large class of zealous sup
I orters of the war, wriose principal inter
est in it is the hope that it will assume
the character of a war of emancipation of
the slaves and becDine a grand crusado for
freedom. It is quite apparent that this
can never occur w ithout an utter dis-o-gard
of the Constitution, and practical
subversion of our present form ol (iovcrn
menl but this matters little with the
advocates of this plan, they are men of
one idea"-abolition of slavery is, in
their view the only good to be accom
plished and every thing "!se should be
Mieiiliced to that end. 1 f the war cannot
n-ume this mission, tlipy are for separa
