Abolition, though - oneor the 'host gen : . eral terms in its signification, has recently been assigned a specific meaning. Abo- Monists are those who, unscrupulous as to means and reckless as to 'conititictionAl law 111:412 social rights, would put an end to sla very. To distinguish . -them.from anti-sla very,men, the qualifying term "'radical," "fanatical," or " rabid," is sometimes used. Oar•journal has been out-spoken, and some say severe, on slavery._::.. Of. its „converse, abolition, we have said but. little.' The reason of our comparafive silence was, that slaveryhas been the prevalent arid crying sin.; the root - of bitterness; the disturber of Zion's' peace; • the enemy .which put itself ire the attitticle of a conspiracy; thett of - secession, and then' of numerous war . rior,host for the, snbyersien of our Genier al Government and.the destruction of the country. Now, hewever, in that ''slavery has' met its , political death, and received the fatal wound as to its very existence; and as abolition is, looming into national importance, and aiming at' the control of . government and social policy, it becomes us to investigate the latter's character -also. Is it worthy ? Shall it he enthroned 'and rule the land? We set out in life strongly , abolition in sentiment, and did not hesitate to proclaini from the pulpit God's call, "Let my people go." But our abolition Was diiected and bounded by God's Word. :It was that of the old 'Pennsylvania sehool, practical where we had authority; and not disposed to usurp power where God . had given the power to others—it was the abolition of the Presbyterian Church of 1818. Thus • "It is manifestly the duty of All Chris tians who enjoy the light of the present day,' when the inconsistency of 'Slivery, both with the dictates of humanity and re ligion, has been, demonstrated, and is gen erally seen and. acknowledged, to use their honest, earnest, and unwearied endeavors, to correct the errors of former times, and aespeedily as possible to efface :this bloton our holy religion, and to obtain the coin .plete abolition of slavery throughout Chris tendom, and if possible throughout' the world!! "`We tenderly sympathize with tho'se portions of our Church and country where the evils of slaiery * * * render an immediate and universal emancipation in consistent alike with the safety and' hapPi mess of the master and of the slave. *. * We earnestly exhort them to continue, and if possible, to increase their exertions to effect a total abolition of Slavery." " We recommend to all our people to patronize and encourage the Society lately formed, - for colonizing in Africa, the land of their ancestors, the free people of color in our country." . Such abolitionists were we, till: the f ad vent of ; WRIGHT, KELLY, THOMPSON, PHILLIPS, PILLSBURY, GARRISON , & CO.- men and women -who advocated emancipa tion even by the extreme of violence, reckless of consequences; who,declatmedagainst the Constitution and the Union, , against the Church Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible. Stich leaders we could not follow. Such a course we were bound to repudiate. We hence adopted the appella tion Anti-Slavery, a term properlyexpress ive of the sentiments of the - great body of the Northern people. The antipodes'of the 'abolitionists were a few rabid, ",fire eating" pro-slavery men of the *South. These extremes agreed, in one thing, viz., either that their opposite must beput doin, or the country divided. Unhappily for the Southern people, they fell in with their fanatics, seceded, took up arma, 'and commenced' the War. If 'the people of„ the cotton , States had been pa tient, there would have been. no strife 'be yond a war of words. Or if the people' of New-England had taken up the sentiment Of GARRISON & CO.; raised aimies,seized forts and arsenals, and threatened the overturning of the Government, then, the Nation would have directedlts forces Northward. And then, too, the war would have been on'the same principle as it is now;` that , is, it would, have been waged. „fer the preserva tion of the Union, and the supremacy Of the Constitution- and the laws: It ii - fashionable with us, at the N6l:th; to say that slavery is the cause of, ihe war ; but the belief is even more nearly. universal at the. South, that abolition is the c cause, It is well' to' look at &Uses, if we look wisery. 'We would not pretend to decide betweenthe antagonist& This much is cer-. tarn If there had been no slavery; we had not had the war, and if there. had been no abo- Btionisin; the peace of the land would have flown yet , as a river. The,twe impinging on each other,lselcansed the .disrnption. The powder and..the spark, in contact, pro. duce the'explosion. We beard Pnruzes, in Pitts burgh, last week. He affirmed that free don:t and -slavery, like the powder and the spark, could-not dwell together. But the lee 4 threr did imettai terms aright. AholiEion: ism cannot dwell peacefully with slavery, but, abolition is by no means the synonym of freedom. Freedom dwelt. intermingled• with, and side by side With-slavery for near half a century after our national establish= meat in 1776, in entire peace- And free. dom was not inactive either. Mit she was just. She acted where she had the right to act, and avoided. All undue assumptions, She abolished slavery in Pennsylvania, New-England ? New-York; and NeW-Jersey —in seven, of the original - thirteen States. She also prohibited Slavery's approach to the territory of the North l -west, thus laying the: foundation of the free: States of Ohio,, Indiana, Illinoia?'Miebigan;and Wisconsin. She had also, by her Peaceful - exeellenee, won se far upon SlaVery, that the' questiOn of abolition was entertained with:much • favor in three other of, the, original States, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, and in the new State of KentuCkY. i But then fanaticism arose and. attached itself to free-. 1 dorm, claiming her as its own ; and thence-, . forward' freedom's- 'progress was r Marred: Since then', no State has 'abolished slaver; 'Cr a nd in no State where Slavery exidts can abolition be now advocated. This fanati- -PRESBYTER WM MV eism was met by pro equally violent ; -tan Oriow' culminated in most destrt!
