This has become a great evil in our country, and it is to bo regretted that the party press are so generally lending their aid to its extension. A stranger from abroad, were he take up our newspapers at this time, would suppose that we were a nation of gamblers, and that a Presiden tial contest was but a mere game of chance started for the indulgence of the national proclivity. It is to be hoped that we will mend our ways in this regard, not only ' from considerations affecting our rcputa- u i tion as a nconlc. but for tne purity oi elections a thing impossible so long as the practice is tolerated and encouraged as it is. Instead of diminishing, however, this evil seems to be gathering strength with the return of every Presidential elec tion. So common has it become, that its moral impropriety has almost been lost sight of, and it is pretty well understood that if a party refuses to gamble by bet ting on its candidate, it is unquestionable evidence that they have given up all hopes of success. Without going into a discussion of the morality of betting on elections, we have ; alwajs cntcr.taincd one r; of the,8u,ljcct founded on its practical effects, which ap pears to us to be satisfactory and unanswer able. It is this : If one man has a moral right to bet on an election, every voter throughout the limits of the Union has the same right. Suppose, then, that every votcr.at a Presidential election for instance, had a wager depending on its result, what would be the principle to govern in the , contest r V ouia n be contronea ny au - . , couut thc cost or to deliberate upon I Fmciplcs ? It is wholly unnecessary to ' C"lar9 Upn 11,0 .eU,'jcCr' ,al I"- i sueu a siaio 01 luiugs m m results. We may only ask, how long, would our glorious Constitution last, should ii oi.ee become inaugurated as tho estab- . iished eu-tc'iu tf our people?

And here let me ask you, sir, as ;m honc-t man, talking to men of common intelligence, do you not think a very large political business is carried on by certain demagogues on a very small capital of abolitionism ? What is an abolitionist? jt ;s generally admitted to be a man who advocates the immediate emancipation of the slaves iu those States where they are . h0Jd. And how does he propose to bring ,his about? Why, by persuading the ' pCOplo of those States that it is for their jutcrcst and duty to rid themselves at one 1 0f the pernicious institution. I never knew one who advocated any other means. I j have read indeed that Frederick Douglass, ! aud Remond, who have themselves tasted ; the sweets of bondage, and some fewotner ! rucrji have talked cf compelling emancipa- tion . anJ I h0uld not wonder if, in case f .ith nmnhnoJ no wav mora rf , ;nferior t I ,.f Fr,j.
