There nre'two classes or persons crazy on the sub ject of Abolition the genuine Abolition ists themselves, mid the rnbld pro-sluvcry. secession sympathizers. They both believe in the divinity of CulTec. nnd both urc tic voully concerned nbout his welfare. The one believes that Cuut'e's position Is one loplelc with misery nnd wrong; the other, iluit'Cn dee's situation is one of absolute bi'jititude. The first would Imve him set free, because it would better his condition ; the second would keep him in his present tut its', out of pure sympathy for his wel fare. Is' nny measure proposed nlU'Clintr OulToe? they must both be convinced that it conduces 1o the happiness nl the poor " nigger' No nmttcr what influence the proposednicnstiic tnny have on the condi tion of the white mho ; that is not to be taken into consideration ; CuflVc, only, is to be' considered. Between' these two extremes stnnd the vast mnjoiily of the lovnl people of the United States. The condition and welfare, security 'nnd prosperity, of the while mun N tho object had in view by them, nnd the .Wnfui-ond condition of the negro only the incident.' Having premised this mtieh, let ns Ionic nt the rndical difference existing between Abolition nnd Emancipation. An nt tempt is made by tho opponents of the 1 'resident's Kmnnciputinn Proclamation to confliiind the two ; but the difference is marked nnd palpable, mid ought to bo stcn dily kept in view. Abolitionism is the ex tirpation of slavery, root and branch. It operates- not only on persons of African desc'cht now existent, but reaches forward into the future, and stamps freedom on those hereafter born. 1 1 repeals all laws' cronltng.supporting nrid Instering slavery, und'setsthe brand of criminal infamy on the relation itself. It goes further, nnd for ever incapacitates every person from hold ing fliiy properly in slaves, oither by pur chase' or descent. More than this, it looks to and usks for tho enfranchisement of the liberated slave, and nims at miking them, in political rights and privileges, at least, the equals of white men. Such is Aboli tion." Tho President has r.o power to abolish slavery in tho sense defined above. not1 'has Congress. It can only lie done by the action of the State Governments, or by the concurrent action of the Slate and Na tional Governments. The President hns neither threatened to issue, nor lias he is suietl, nny Abolition Proclamation ; but he lias threatened to issue tin Kmuncipation Proclamation, and, ns the thieat has done all tho mischief possible for the Proclama tion itself to do, we confidently expect that it has been issued. Hut what is Emancipation ? How doeo it Operate, and what nro the limits of its operations? Wo answer, Kmuneipatinn only operates on slaves now in existence. Tho right to hold slaves will still exist. The right to purchase and to tnko such property by descent will remain unimpaired. The local laws' 6ri the subject are unaffected. It is merely a sequestration of property, ina'3e 'necessary by the national exigencies. It Is no Bchemo of pseado benevolence', looking to- the' elevation' nrid' erlfrailclils'e metitaf fold 'negro';' out its object is Mo preserve the liberties and rights of wbitn It Is a stroke levelled nt the very kieart o thtftcbrflion, nnd flU n titSrhHifn r,ian iffort for" the elevation or-uuncw. i lit fnllowrrigs paragraph'0 'from-' tlibUBostnit' JTotfi'iidfJ stdtbs the whole, casie,' mh nut-' sW: 1 Neither the President's Proclamation, nor nny Act of Congress, can abolish the institution of slavery in any Slate where it legnllv exists, without tin' concurrent action or the State ilself. Thus, il by virtue ol tlic Proclamation nil the existing wlnvcs in South Carolina are emancipated, the right lo hold slaves rI ill remain, nnd may be ex creised by the people of Smith Carolina whenever that Slate is ntiaiu in the Union. Tlie Proclamation merely takes from them the slaves they now own nnd makes freemen of them. This right to be their own uiti' lets is absolutely eonfrrrcd by it. and Smith Carolina cannot resume her pinto in the Union holding these people ns slaves. It operates ns a sequestration "f property which, in the nature or the case, will not and cannot be restored ; but it neither for bid nor prevents iiivislments in the same kind of" property" in the luliire. It can not be said that flip same kind of propeity will not exist, nnd that therefore the riuht to buy nnd hold will be a barren right, for it is not proposed to disturb tins existing relation in the loyal slave Stales. The right of the' Government to confis cate and sequester the property of rebels, with the exception of slaves, is admit ted by all. But why this exception? Tho same persons who have heretofore belabored ns with the argument that n slave was prop erty in precisely the same sense us n horse or n mule, nre now the consistent (I) advo cates of the contrary doctrine. If the slaveholder wished to tnko his slnvc into the Territories or States, he owns n mule J but if you wisli to apply the principles ol' sequestration or confiscation to that slave, then he rises from the debasement or chat telhood, nnd becomes a being sucredly ex ceptional and peculiar 1 Mnuu. Admiration. The State Re puUhan says that the Statesman nnd Mnwu tuinccr have got up a mutual admiration society. It does rather have that appear mice " to n man up a tree." To counter act tho baneful influence of this society, the Statcv.inn, Arpm nnd Republican have got up nn anti-mutual admiration society, and are succeeding well. Lost Hivku. Tho Yreka Journal says that n ferry has lately been established on Lost River, in tho Klamnth Lake Valley, near tho Natural Bridge.
