was against the oppressions of Government, not
for its bounties, that they contended They sought
to be loft free toaeek the road to we.illh, without
fatal obstruction from their Government, not to
institute a Government which should accumulate
money for them. They did not beliijvo that a
people could be forced upon prosperity by taxation,
ami hence they refused to be taxed w'tthout their
consent. The sages of that day, willing to sustain
a Government instituted for the benefitif the .
people, and which would extend to them protection
for life, liberty and "properly, cheerfully clothed
that Government with the taxing power, and as
cheerfully bore the taxes necessary for the health
ful management of it afluirs ; but even such taxes
were enumerated among the burdens, not the
benefits, of their institutions, and the exercise of
the power was looked- upon by thetn as a danger
to be watched, not a blessing to be coveted.

AliOLITIOM QF THE UNION.'
The thoroughgoing abolitionist have been in
spired by, the movements of Messrs. Adam and
GiDoinusin Congress, with quite an enthusiasm
for the diasolutidn of the Union. -The Boston
Liberator of Friday last it filled with original edi- ,
tonal, copied article, appeal at public meeting,
diC.cVc., in favor of a dissolution of Ihe Govern
ment. We give aome sample ol Ihe spirit which ,
Adam and Gidding have engendered among their
proselytes. .
An article from the Standard, anys :
T The Union. t many mind are now aclive
on thi subject, and many conscience troubled, it
may not be altogether useless to declare our (wa
slate of feelings. ; ' -
M Oar objection to the Union are briefly these t
1st. It is ham, and not a reality. It profeasea
lo be union, and t coercion. We are called the .
United State, and we ere the disunited States
From the beginning, the Sout ha pursued toward ;
the North the policy of foreign Stale i. e., she
tins, wuo coraoinea energy ana piiiiuui nsioui
(hip, alway contrived to protect and extend be
own interest at the .expense of the interest

Again, it say t
3d. Tho Union, a it now exists compeh Ihe
free Statu to direct rAarti caHir wii great and
extensive wrong. In point of fact, we are the
standing army of the Soul h, ranged in dense pfa
toon, with bayonet punted toward the trembling
lave.M . ...
The Liberator next quote, with approbation,
(ho following sentiment i
--TlWr.trN(r OTIIEirmTrfoTT'ii'free"-
Stales to clear ihemselvesof being ACCOMI'LI
CKS INTRGMHNDOUS GUILT, than asking
for ihe repeal of the Uuion ; for ' we cannot cjn
icienlioviig keep the compact our father made.' "
Again, the Liberator tell u :
" A friend, writing from Boston, ayi : Wo
launch thi campaign the great question .of repeal'
in the Union, and mean to carry it through the
Commonwealth. MaasacWette moat-n- longer
be compromised. We cannot conscientiously keep
ihe compact our father made ; and, therefore, we
must ask for il peaceable repeal.'
Our friend sejsm to think that this eomniuui
cation will take us by turpi ise ; but it is more than
jtwa years since wo c?me to the wcJbjittrOhLl
! inoro was no otner way lor Irio tree States to clear
thomselvc of being accooiplieo in IremooJoos
guilt."
The editor next come out in his owrt peraon,
and says:
" One thing is certain : slavery is clamorous for
tne .praawvaima.':ofl'Uie;.Xaion;:Ijiberfv: uC tha.
mortal foe of slavery, and can have no interest in
common with her. Whoever echoe what slavery
demand, is no friend of God or man, and, coo so
nuenily, is no abolitionist. This question of a re
peal of the Union will prove a severe but unerring
tet of character, in the progiess of its diussioo,;
Meri hiiai
nol. There can be but two parlies in this case:
the friends of liberty for ite own sake, and the
inend of slavery for various patriotic cwuida
raiionO '
The editor ofkr an alternative for the distoiu-
lion of the Union in this passage :
" Will ihe editor of the Advocate, with all their
insolence aud hypocray, dare to deny that slavery
conlp.1 the General Gorernrrmnt,' and i a com
poncnt part of the American Union I With the
South, any thing loss than this would be tantamount
lo a repeal of the compact. We are for dealing
honestly and fairly with her. As abolitionists as
lover of our country, can ufier no other alter
native to her than tin s Diuolutio ot abolition t
Il she i determined to persist in enslaving millions
of our race, and stripping the North of all il right,
what other courso can be purmwd I la what other
way can a remedy be applied I" .
From the following, it appear hat tha Union
was purchased by tha sicnlica of justice, humanity,
