such a withering curse upon any people as a'olitionism has done upon this country, which once enjoyed the proud pre
eminence of being the refuge of the oppressed, and ' in truth and in fact the "home of the free." In proof, note its effect on social life. In every neighbor
hood which its poisonous influence has infected it has scattered broadcast slander, recrimination, and discord ; and however happy and friendly the relations before existing, they have been poisoned with bitterness and gall. The word of divine
truth says that a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit, and that every such tree shall be hewn down and cast into the fire. Marvel not that abolitionism demands a widely different bible. Its high priests and apostles have wrapped themselves in "robes of pretended sanctity and claimed a superior light and higher law, itnd looked with pharisaie disdain up.n the benighted, unprogressivs honesty which still respected legal
the right of free discussion ; it has sought to abolish the haleat corpus, which even the subservient parliaments of the Stuarts
guarded with jealous care ; it has sought
to abolish the
partial trial by
accused and to abolish every vestige ot
sttjte rights, and to trample with insolent defiance state constitutions in the dt.st. It is the boast of a Englishman that the king himself dare not enter the humblest cottage vithout knocking. AboFtio iism

$39,439,071 in 1S62, S4.23o.250 in 1S61 and
42,191.171 in LSCO. It should be borne in
mind that the value of exportations for 1S02 are reckoned in currency, which tends to
