rogress of Abolitionism
Twelve months ago Mr. Seward was
looked upon as being the embodiment of
the liolicy of the Administration. All his
:.
spesches at home and instructions to our
AROsters abroad breathed the air of one
whii spoke ch i p authority,-which he doubt-
I
leSOlid. At that time Charles Sumner of
~z
Massachusetts had no position in the id
ministration party beyond that belonging
to a'Oingle Senator. He represented the
~..._
fanatics, the destructives of his party, but
his '4ntiments and utterances were rape
diaod by the more conservative of the Re
{ pulACans, who looked to Mr. Seward as
the (egitimate leader of their party. Mark
whaa short year has accomplished: Mr.
Se4rd is crushed beneath the advancing
oar '1,)::•f destructive Abolitionism, while
Sunaler cracks his whip as he dashes furl
; ouslA along. It a speech delivered by
Smiler the other evening in Fanenil
Haiti . Boston, he boldly declared himself
"the 4
~ master of the situation." He re
minaisd his hearers •of a speech he had
made to them a year ago, in which he ad
vocated the destruction of slavery, no mat
ter Aat else survived. At that time the
polici of the Government was the sup
preesion of the rebellion and the restora•
• tion Of the Union; but Mr. Sumner ha s
changed all that, and now exclaims—
' FdLOW-CITIZENS : A year has passed
since 4 addsessed you; but during this time
whatlevents for warning and encourage-,
- ' mei:47 Amid vicissitudes of war, the cause
of huffian freedom has steadily and grand
ly adiranced; not, perhaps, as you could
desirl% yet it is the only cause which has
not billed. Slavery =claw black laws all
abohilied in the national capital; slavery
interdicted in all the 'national territory :
the slave trade placed under the ban of a
new keaty with Great Britaini all persons
- in theimilitary service prohibited from re
turniq'g slaves or sitting in judgment on the
claim , ),f a master; the slaves of rebels
emancipated by coming within our lines;
a tender of compensation for the abolition
of slaVbry. Such are some of the triumphs'
of freedom in the recent Congress. Amid
the doibts and uncertainties of the present
hour lit us think and he comforted. I can
not foiket that when I last spoke to you I
urged 'he liberation of the slaves of rebels,
and'esPecially that our officers should not
be permitted to surrender any human being
who sought shelter within our lines, and I
furtheesuggeated, it need be, a bridge of
gold fatties retreating fiend. And now all
• that I t4en proposed is embodied in the leg
islatiork'of the country as the supreme law
of the land."
,
Haviiig succeeded in supplanting Mr.
• Seward; and forcing his views upon the
. President President and the - abolition party, Mr.
•i
Suinnerjproceeds to tell us what else he
:.' eXpectar:to accomplish. Mark the follow
ing paragraph, in - which his fears are ex
pressedlkhat the present rebellion may be
closed !Afore slavery is destroyed :
"Let Aewarend on the battlefield alone,
and it Will have the appearance that it will
end; notlin reality. Time will be galnad
for new efforts, and slavetzy will coil itself
to sprin l q again. The rebellion may seem
to be vanquished, and yet it will triumph
The Union may seem to conquer, and yet
it will succumb. The republic may seem
to be saval t and yet it will be lost, handed
over a pry to that irijustice which, so long
as it' =ids, must challenge the judgments
of a righteous God."
Here isla purpose defiantly proclaimed
by the acknowledged leader of the
Aboli
tionists, t L S use his party, not for the resto
ration of liis country, but solely for the in
vasion and destruction of the rights of the
States. Loyal slaveholders and rebels
. are all theisame to Mr. Sumner ; the utter
extinctioniof slavery, regardless of conse
quences tO friend Or foe, is the programme
ina.ked oaf and announced by him, as be
ing his settled and determined purpose.—
Were our armies North and South - , within
three„ months, to utterly annihilate the
rebel s forceii, cause them to lay down their
arms, ( hank their leaders and return to
their allegiance, it would not be sufficient
for Mr. 'Sufi:men This contest can not be
settled in tke field, he informs us, and must
- $
not cease until his treason against the gov
ernment is Sccomplished. Are the people
of the United States prepared to endorse
this blOody!i.nd devastating programme ?
Are they ii;epared to continue hostilities
merely to ie;compliSh the freedom of mil
lions of slavTes, at the probable expense of 1
their own degredation ? And yet if Mr. '
Sumner and') his followers' are retained in
power how dre we to prevent any outrage
they may ch9ose to inflict upon the liber
ties of the pei)ple. While laboring for the
enfranchiseutnt of the black race, look at
their encroachments upon the rights and
libeities of their own. Who save them
selves and 40 negro has any immunity
from oppre4ion ? The negro amongst
• us may o walkllerect and to k defiantly and
he is protec9; but we, for exercising, in
a moderate canner, our birthright and
that of,thellumbhist amongst us, are
threatent4 *Rh Grand Juries for the
simplest disOoss ion of the conduct of
our creatures, misnamed our rulers.—
Is it to be said, in this day of the American
Republic, or hall it fill tip the chronicles
in time to come, that the American peo- '
pie, the proud descendants of those' who
would have 'brooked the eternal devil
rather than submit to such unheard of tyr

REGULATED WARFARE.
s PhiltimOre quotes Lorti,lfacon;aB,a4-
dng, on the subject of wari, as conducted
'by West; and honorable!' princes ; that
thotihAey be such as tend to "the utter
ruinind 'overthrow of the forcesend States
onepf another, yet they so limit their Pas
sions as they preserve two things sacred
and inviolable—the life and the good name
of each other. Foy wars are no massacres
and confusions; but they are the highest
trials of right, where princes and States,
that acknowledge no superior on earth,
Shall put themselves cu the justice of pod
for the. deciding of their controversies, by
such success as it shall please him to give
on either side. And, as in the process of
particular pleas between private men, all
things ought to be. ordered by the rules of
civil law, so, in the proceedings of war,
nothing ought to be done against the Law
of Nature or the Law of Honor ; which
laws have ever pronounced these two sorts
of men, the one conspirators against the
persons of princes ; the other libelers
against their good fame, to be such ene
mies of common society as are not to be
cherished—no not by enemies."
We quote this for the purpose of show
ing the general temper with which the
war should be conducted on both sides.—
It is a solemn appeal to Heaven to decide
according to right between the arrayed
and embittered hosts. Now all personal
and party malice; all bygone jealousies;
all mutual 'accusations of fraud, violence
and sin; all bandying of abusive language
and severe threats; all boasting or warn
ing of _ what we will do when we can ; all
these 'rare singularly out of place, and
sadly undignified. We have appealed to
the God of Nations to decide whether we
are to be one nation or two, or even more,,
and He has, as yet, given us no indication,
that we can interpret, on which side his
decision is to be. False prophets and
priest and Pythian priestesses have pro
claimed, from many party tripods, re
sponses dictated by their wishes, but none
bat fools believe or repeat them.
our appeal is.' not to them, nor to the
force of party drill, or of factious contests
and recriminations, but to our common
God, the Providence that ruleth all things
well. He is to decide, and minds not our
excited prattle and petty 'suspicions and
jealousies, and spiteful retaliations, and
our small bicketings, that make all differ
ences treason. No doubt the mode in
which each party shall conduct the war
will have something to do
.with the final .
decision.
What is the issue to be decided? The
rebellion claims to be legitimate secession,
and we deny this. By what rule shall the
issue be tried? By the Constitution, which
organized the Union, which Secession
would break. God is the tribunal that is
to decide the case, and war the form, and
the laws of war the rules of the process.
We stand, therefore, before the bar of Je
hovah, and let us order our cause aright
Away with all peri3onal, local, party, self
ish and itTelevent excitements. Accord
ing to the Constitution, for the integrity of
which we are contending, and according to
-the lawi3 of war, by which our proceedings
must be regulated, we must honestly and
solemnly submit our cause to the Judge of
all the earth.
Let us not expect any advantage, or fear
any real injury from the extreme opinions
that prevail among us, unless we allow
them to seduce us from the true issue and
the true order of the trial. Here we are
in danger, and our cause may be wrecked.
In our spite and madness at those for
whom we had long been professing the
deepest contempt, that they should rebel
and dare us to the trial of war; in this our
madness or wrath, we have committed
the helm to the control of almost mad
men, who have several times run our
vessel among the breakers, and left it to
Providence to float her out, without giving
him the credit of it.
Beware of extreme and passionate men
and their measures ; they can never settle
anything without causing a reaction that
renews and embitters the strife, and they
are always dissatisfied with obtainei re
sults. When the civil wars of France and
of England closed in the 16th and 17th
centuries, they complained at the general
amnesty, because there was no confisca
tion or executions, or scarcely any; and
they did the same when Louis XVIII was
restored and not only granted a general
amnesty, but abolished all laws of confis
cation. In the words of the historian,
they did not believe in the calm and fleas•
ured acts of authority, as a means of es
tablishing public order; they desired jus
tice to take the
-color of wrath and ven
geance; they could not appreciate a mag
nanimous p alley,
was this spirit that hired savages to
aid the British in their wars against us,
and that armed slaves under Marius in the
civil wars of Rome; it banished Metellus
and others of Rome's best citizens for not
approving the cruelty of these wars and
placed them under the terrible interdict of
fire and water. It expelled the moderate
Jacobins of the French Revolution ; and
when Jacobinism ceased to be extreme
enough it became Cordelier and sans
culotte, led on by Danton and the monster
Marat, and ruined the Revolution. And
be it noticed that this monster was the
editor of "The People's Friend." Both
at Rome and in France, the government
balanced from one extreme to the other,
until the civil wars brought the people to
the refuge of despotism. ,History assures
us that extremes can do no better for us.
However this , war may end, it is well that
we conduct it according to 'he rules of
civilized warfare for the restoration of the
Constitution

the weakness of their cause.
The following article frenn the Baltimore,
.4.merfcatt i. on the President'smancipa;
tibii:Pmelaination ought to command the
sympathy and• the judgment of 'every in
:-
tallfgent man. It is reason and common

and folly:
THE PROCLAMATION AGAIN.
We see in various quarters surprise
!evinced that the late proclamation by the
! President does not meet whir universal
and instant approbation; lint it is more
surprising, in our opinion, that it com
mands the support it does. The argu
ments against its issue put by the Presi
dent himself are more effective and unan
swerable—as given by the Chicago depu
tation—than those they advanced in its fa
vor, and therefore it could be nothing else
than surprising that so soon afterward he
should be found conceding everything, and
abandoning ground he-has held so firmly
since his adventto the Presidency. In his
dealings with the proclamations of Fre
inonl., and Hunter, and Phelps, he had
certainly also led the cuuntly tb expect
something else, and especially as, just at
present, the American people can see no
pressing necessity fur so sudden a depart
ure from what was supposed a fixed policy.
There is another consideration unfavor
able to its reception just now. Whether
truly or not, it is regarded as resuldng
from the pressure brought to bear upon the
executive by his persistent persecutors of
the Greeley and Sumner school ; and the
triumph of that mischievous faction in any
shape, or in any sense, is not. and will noi
bei. considered es a good omen in the ad
vance of the country to a condition of
peace. There is no man in the country
powerful enough in the public confidence
he commands to reconcile the American
people, the patriotic masses who are de
pended upon to put down this rebellion, to
the guidance of the abolition faction, and
Mr. Lincoln would to-day have been ten•
fold stronger in the position he holds had
he rigidly adhered to the policy be avowed
in the outset and kept clear of the little
knot of intriguers, who are regarded as
hardly a single remove, in the mischief
they have consummated, from their oppo
sites of the Charleston school.
Again, -the most determined or ingenious
advocate of the Emancipation proclama•
tion. will not undertake to say that it is
"constitutional"—but, driven to vindc•
cute it, begins and ends the contest by
pleading for it as a measure of "military
necessity."
Now, for one, we deny this. We con
tend that the five millions of white men
not in the field in the loyal States, but at
home 'on their farms and in their work
shops and manufactories, laboring to sup
ply thg a Cnion army, are infinitely of more
servic to the government than the four
millions of men, women and children on
the plantations are to the Confederate gov
ernment. And if the government had
from the beginning used every resource
tendiTed it by the loyal men of the coun
try, it would nut now feel called upon to
put forth a meaJure of doubtful expedi
ency to cripple, possibly, what it had power
,to destroy outright. Moreover, abolition
has already done more mischief by its
intrigues in the army than it will ever do
good, even when backed iu this ease - by the
/decree of the federal executive; and, in
its success in this instance, it has done
more to divide and unsettle public senti
ment in the loyal States than it can com
pensate fur were every member of its pha
lanx to take the field, Iron, Horace Gree
! ley to Fred. Douglass.
It is a policy we want, not an expedient.
Expedients are the devices of little minds,
and the federal executive. in his command
ing position, and with the finest army in
the world at his back, ought not to be
ma d e to resort to them as the conse o ue n •
ces of any pressure whatever. It iwidle
to say that the nation has not lost faith in
the management at Washington from late
events there, and no true friend of the
!Union, it seems to us, will deny it. It is
a war to vindicate the Constitution, and it
will not do to transcend it iu the avowed
endeavor to save it, unless it is plainly a
case of the direst necessity, and nothing
that is in possession of the public shows
I that it was so when the proclamation in
question was issues. The rebellion is
plainly at the last gasp; and slavery, with
, out any extraordinary or extra judicial
pressure, has invited its own extinction.
While it had hardly vitality enough to die,
as mutters were moving on, it may b.2gal•
vanized into fierce action by the fully of
its old assailants.
Finally, as we have already had occa
sion to say, we attach less importance to
the proclamation than do most, because we
see a chance for its modification by Con
gress between now and the first ofJfi'nna
, ry, and there is large space for great events
connected with the movements of the ar
my and navy meanwhile. It will not alter
the standing of slavery in Maryland mate
rially, and it of no use whatever elsewhere
without military success. This being SO it
may have the good effect of causing the
army to be let aloneby the Greeley factia'n,
in order that the proclamation may in the
end amount to something, and if it should
achieve this much it will not be wholly
without fruit.
The radical organs will reply to these ar
guments by denunciations of the disloyhi
ty of Maryland, just as Mr. Prentice's ob
jections to the proclamation were respond
ed to by taunts against the disloyalty of
Kentucky, as if loyal Border State men did
not deserve to be heard because they have.
hitherto been able to successfully to keel)
down disloyal Border State men. But a
paragraph from the same :ssue of the Amer
ican may for once avert their diatribes.—
Referring to the article in the Petersbur g
Express advocating the demolition of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for its aboli
tionizing tendencies, it says :
Now, let it be remembered that the dis•
loyal States have loudly claimed Maryland
as of necessity with them, on the score of
interest; that she could not refuse a part
nership with the rebellion, because, like
them, she holds slaves! Yet here is an
interest which cost Maryland nearly thirty
millions of dollars, which must be tamely
surrendered as a sacrifice to the vagaries
of the Cotton States, when the interest
she has in slavery does not amount to-day
—put the most liberal estimate upon it—
to one half that sum 1 They must think

must be still more unmistakably cast with
the great States that have lately rushed to
rescue her from the most deadly perils.
She has advanced years within the past
few weeks in the revelations these have
brought to her, and she must not slight or
forget the lessons. Virginia—should Ma
ryland accept the ruin tendered her—will
not, in the future, pay for her debts; nor
rebuild her destroyed public 'works; nor
reeall to life her noble and devoted dead;
and, therefore, Maryland must look to
herself as she has never done before. It
is the very crisis in our fate, and we must
compel ourselves to look it in the Lace,
and thenceforth and forever we should
know our-true friends, and more than that
—stand by them. Pennsylvania, defend
ing us, is our friend; Virginia or South
Carolina, assailing us, is our enemy; and

The Gazette, yesterday, in an article
upon the comingelection, informs its read
ers that "there,, is nothing like brass."
Brass is an indispensable commodity for
an abolition politician, but when one ex
hibits the quantity of it which is visible in
the countenance of . Gen. Moorhead and
the Gazette, when they ask anti-tax men
. to support them, it then becomes, like too
large a dose of medicine, hard to take.—
The General told the Convention which
nominated him that he had served his
_ .
time at- the "tanner's bench," meaning
that " there was nothing like leather,"
bat now the Gazelle has discarded that
useful article, relying far success exclu
sively upor brass. But it won't do. , The
brass is too transparent. The idea of
Moorhead, whose vote in Council entailed
the railroad. debts up . km us, now asking
anti-tuk men to support him, is brass of
the basest character. Although the Gen
eral is a shining example that a man will
never want gold in his pocket who carries
an abundance of brass his face, he will
arid that there is such a thing as putting
it on too thick, and that it would have
been much better for him had he depended
solely for success upon•leather and pru

AJCEST OP "TRAITORS."
We have' just conversed with a gentle
man from Eastern Virginia, who, accord.
ing to the Gazette's notion, would be the
chief of a nest of "traitors." He is dis
tinguished for three things:
1. At the breaking out of the war he
entered the service of his country in a
most hazardous and poorly paid depart.
ment, and has continued in it till now,
when, threatened with swamp 'fever, he
comes home for a few days on sick fur
lough.
2. He has three sons in the service; one
was wounded, another was made prisoner
and the third has been in twelve fights fur
the Union, is unhurt, and is sick of fever
contracted in camp.
3. Ile intends to vote the whole Demo
cratic ticket, if able to attend the polls on
Tuesday next.
• If to these facts and qualities we add
the statement that this patriot and all his
sons heartily endorse McClellan, he comes
and they come under all the force of the
Gazette's displeasure. For that virtuous
paper says that McClellan is only support
ed by halfhearted traitors, and then it
says that none'but "TRAITORS," (whole•
hearted, it may be) will vote for the Demo
cratic candidates.
So there is no escape for our friend. He,
the father-patriot, and the sons who worth
ily follow in their father's footsteps, are
"half-hearted traitors," or "traitors"
with no hearts-but "traitors" anyhow.
Soldiers of the Union army, how like yon.
this ?
A QUESTION.
Every man, the Gazette has repeatedly
said, who votes for a Democratic candi-
date, is a " traitor .1"
If a Democrat shall vote for Genera
Moorhead, and then shall vote for Demo
ciatic candidates, will he be still a TRAITOR?
Whet does the Gazette say to this?
ANOTHER QUESTION.
Will the Grades insist that the wound
ed Democratic soldiers who are at home
and will vote their old , party 'ticket, are
traitors, giving aid and comfort to the
rebels? Please answer, thou honest pay
master.
Governor Andrew's Detention of
Troops.
The Boston Courier says of Governor
Andrew : All remember that on one occa
sion, not very loEg ago he openly mania
fested his disinclination to send troopsun
less his abolition views were acceded to
by the government. He is now proved;
by a variety of concurring testimony to
have been active at Altoona in an effort to
displace McClellan, notwithstanding the
futile attempt to conceal this abolition
movement after it failed. We gee, by the
way, that Governor Blair of Michigan,one
of the cabal at Altoona, stated in the con
vention which nominated him, that he had
kept hack troops until it should become an
abolition war. Is Governor Andrew
ly to do or to say lees?

any share of Judge Douglas' fame to ad
vance their vile purpose, revives the fol
lowing, which took place in the Senate of
the United States on the 25th of March,
1861. The Republicans had just passed
territ6rial bills, which contained Judge
Douglas' great principle of popular sover
eignty, (since repealed, however,) when
the Judge reMarked in a playful manner
as follows to the previous presidential
campaign. Said he :
"That is a very good policy—a much
wiser and better one than I had expected
or hoped for from a republican adminis
tration. I do not know that I should have
made as great efforts to defeat them, if I
had thought they would have acted with as
much wisdom and patriotism.
"Mr. Clarke—Yo n did not defeat them.
"Mr. Douglas—No ; nor would I have
made as great efforts to defeat them.
"Mr. Clarke—You did us no harm.
"Mr. Douglas --If I did not defeat you
it was not my fault. I used my best efforts
to do it.
`Mr. Clarke—You could not quite come
"Mr. Douglas—l could not quite cotge
it, and you see the consequence. Seveit
States are out of the Union, civil war is
impending over you, commerce is inter
rupted, confidence destroyed; the country
is going to pieces just BECAUSE I COULD
NOT DEFEAT YOU! No man in America be
lieves these consequences would have re
sulted if 1 had been ( successful in my et
forts to defeat you. You can boast that
you have defeated me, but you have de
feated your couutry with me. You can
boast 'that you have triumphed over'me;
but you have triumphed over the unity of
these states YOUR TRIUMPH lies BROUGHT
DISUNION, and God only knows what con
sequences may grow out of it."
This was on the 25th of March. In the
ensuing April the rebels attacked Fort
Sumter, the President issued his procla
mation declaring the existingrebellion and
calling for seventy.fiv thousand volunteers
to sn 'press it, and the war commenced.
It was on the Ist of the ensuing May that]
in Chicago, Douglas made the last public
speech of his life, in whiith he said :
"We cannot lose our eyes Co the sad
and solemn fact that war does exist. The

the shorter the struggle. But we must re

even in time of war. Welare a Christian
people, and the war must be prosecuted =in
a manner recognized by Christian nations.
"WE MUST NOT INVADE CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS. The innocent must not suffer, nor
women and children be the victims. &iv
ages must not be let loose. But while I
sanction no war on the rights of others I
will implore my countrymen not to lay
down their arms until our own rights are
recognized
'THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS Li PAEAN-
T EE:4 ARE. OUR BIRTHRIGHT,' ANTI I AM
REA BY TO ENFORCE THAT INA LIENRBLE
RIG rTO THE LAST E \TENT. We cannot
recognize secession. Recognize it once,
and you have not only dissolved the gov
ernment, but you have destroyed social
order, upturned the foundations of socie
ty. You have inaugurated anarchy in its
worst form, and will shortly experience
all the horrors of a French revolution."
This was on the Ist of May. At the ex

and these were his dying words: " TELL

We know of nothing more monstrous
than that Abolitionism should undertake
to appropriate Douglas to its present use.
Ws whole life, net more than his dying
breath, was a protest against A bolitionism,
and no statesman so clearly as he 'foresaw
its culmination, and so often and earnest:y
warned the country of it and besought it
to avert it.
When again Abolitionism shall dare to.
outrage the memory of the dead states
man, let his last injunction repulse it:
"TELL Tlf PM TO ORRY THE LAWS AND SDP.

California Senator.
Rev. Thomas Starr King has been nam
ed as a candidate for United States Senat
or from California, to succeed Mr. Latham.
In such an event the case of Mr. King
will be somewhat analogous to that of Mr.
J. A. Gurley, of Cincinnati, who is a
Universalist clergyman. He is said to be
an active polemist and when nominated
fur Congress an old Methodist remonstra
ted with a brother for supporting for office
a man that_did not believe in hell." Ido not
mind that at all" was thereply, "Mr.Gurley
will'not be in Congress long before he will
find out there is a helll"—.N. I. Post.
- Affecting.
A s•rou v is told of the veteran Sumner
at the battle of Antietam. His son, young
Captain Sumner, a youth of twenty one,
was on his staff. The old man calmnly
stood, amidst a storm of shot and shells,
and turned to send him through a dmibly
raging fire, upon a missi n of duty. He
might never see his bo again, but his
country claimed his lif and, as he looked
upon his brow, lie grasped his hand, en
circled him in his arms, and fondly kissed
him. "Good bye, Sammy," "Good bye,"
father, and the youth mounting, his horse,
went gaily on the message. He returned un
harmed; again his hand was grasped with a
cordial "How d'ye do, Sammy?" answered
by a grasp of equal affection. The scene
was touching to those around.
