CAUHK OP TIIK tiONKMRT Tho following i the hrginninp of the first chapter of "Abbotl'fl IliMoiyof the Civil War in America," tho fiifit volume has just been published : Civil war hurst upon din United State, with almost the sinhlcnnes nt the meleorV glare. It was. however, hut like the ei op tion of the volcano, whom? pent-up lire.-', had. for njre, been gathering strenL'lh for the final exp'onion. The whirlwind which our country has reaped, is lint the natural harvest of hat ieiil which, for long jenr, we liuvc liet'ii sowing. All thinking" men have.

Julius C.U'ur. espousing the cuiwu of tlic people, iinliirlul tint banner of equal rights. .Striding through oceans nf blood, which tossed their suiires over every portion f the habitab'e globe, tnsar overthrew tint urUtocrutie comuiouweallli, mid tea ml up on its ruiie, the imperial icpuhlic. it wuh uristneraey. Plriv'iig to keep its heel on the head of democracy, which deluged the K-i-man empire in blood. On the fields of I'hursulm, the biuner of urirtoerutie pride was trailed in the dnst, and democracy, llioui'li exceedingly imperfect in iu devel opment, became the victor. Two hundred years ago, tho nrintocrney of Fi mice hnued In 4mi oniol cast les. mount ed on wardiorsei', cneasul in helmet, cui rasii, auiHiiukler of flliHil, with pampered men-at-arms ready to ride roughshod on every cmbawage of violence, tiampled on humanity, till htt'iinnity could endure it no longer. The iiristoeiaey po def-pised the people, whom they had driven into mud hovels, whose wives and daughters were go.nled to (lie field, bareheaded and bare- il'ooied, to bo yoked with the donkey in drugging tiio plotc'li, that they did lint dream that llu-.su boor?, whom" their hit niauiiv had brutnlixtd, would d.ueeven to look dtlla nt ly ut the lordly castloof lock, whose del'eniii'i.s strode pi'oudly nlong the battlements, in niensnreled coiiteintof the help'ess peasantry below. Tliese poor hours had not individuality enough even to receive n iiaine. As a slu'iiherd may call every sheen in his flock "Nannie," mid hb tiio bluvediiver calls (iich ono his wt etched gang " boy," fo every peasant was cil'ed "Jack." Rut the pent-up vengeance ol ugee nt luM buist forth. The Jacks roue, and, like madden ed wolves, rushed upon their foce. Every demon power and passion, which can riot in the human oul, held high carnival, lmbrutiil men, iufuriuted by ages of the most out rages wrongs, Mbc by millions, upon their nppre.-sois, and wreaked upon them every atrocity which (ieiid-liki! inge nuity could devise. Fiuncc run red with blood. Rut nt length disciplined valor prevail ed. The steel chid knights trampled down their victim-' ; and alter one-half of the pcnsanlH of France had perished, the aris locrat resumed their sway, mid the nlu ve ry of feudal bondage1 was niniin riveted up on the people. This war of the Jacks, or n' the Jacquerie, us it is called in history, is one of the most instruclive events of the past ; and yet it was ull unheeded. The tudilpn, regard lens nf thta lesson, re newed their oppressions. Again they commenced Kowiug the wind, Trout which they were to reap another, mid a more dreadful harvest. The masc8 of the peo ple were deprivid of every privilege, hut that of toiling for their mtisteiH. That the lords might live in castles, and be clothed in purple, uud tare sumptuously, tho peo ple were doomed to hovels, and rugs, uud bluek bread. Kvery effort was made to keep the pen pie ignorant, that they might not know their wrong, and poor, that they might not resent tiieiu. A pensant was not ul lowed to bury u piece of dough in the ushes of his own lire side he was compelled to take it, to the bakery of his lord, uud pay exorbitant toll there, to have it linked. A peasant was not ullovid to dip u bowl ol water front the occiii, uud let it evaporate, that he might sempc from the bottom the few particliH of salt left thete in (lie resi diim. Hewn) hound to purchase every pui tide of salt from his lord, at .in enor mous price. No mini, not nobly born, whatever might bo his character or geiiiu-i. was deemed it lit companion for the lonk fiOtiis XV., surrounded by courlc-uns and debauchees. Fiihl : ' I can give money to Voltaire. Monies quicn. Foutluelle, but I cannot dine and sup with these people." IJvery ollie.e of honor or emolument, in tho church, the aitny. tint statu, or the court, was coiifeinil upon tho priviteci-il cla only. ConeouetitVv oven Christianity, oiliuln mlniistered.

"Servants obey your tntc-lor." was its unchanging and Rtiiutcrmlttul utterance. This religion was mi maiilfesllv not the religion of JcsusChi 1st. that kings, lords, nnd ecleslastlcs, were all allku vigilant, not to allow the people to read the Hible, lst they should llml out what the our Saviour really taught. A peasant, d-tccled with a lliblo in Ids hand, was deemed as guilty ns if cauulit with tho tools of a burglar, or tho tiles of a counter feiter. Christianity is tho corner-stone of true democracy. A II men are brothers." in its fundamental doctrine. Consequently, no where, tho wot Id over, will urlstocratlu In tolerance allow democratic, sorvitudu to read the Hible. It is a curious fact, Ulu Irative of this uuivcr.-al truth, that even in Republican Ameiicn, those who were In fa vor of the servitude of tho masses, and ut a privileged class, rouid their ittmat en deavors, to prevent the preachers of Chris tianity from lonohini thai doctrine of man's brotherhood, which Christ so lcrvently and, unceasingly liu- Inculcated. ' l on are preaching polities," was tho cry which has drove many a preacher from his pulpit. In the church of Node Dame, in I'uris, lu the year 17$W, the ithho 'Fuuchct preached to an audience crowding every nook and corner of that Iikiucusu .c.ilhcdiul. The no ble prelate, uiilutlniidated by fiown. Wie the bold annunciator of that (quality of rights which Christianity inculcates. Tak ing lor his text tiio wonts ol rani. lirctii reu. ye have been called unto liberty," he said : Tho false interpreters of the divine ora cle" have wished, in the name of Heaven, to keep the people in suljictioii to their masters. They have coiisecr.itt d despotism. They have rendered God an accomplice with tyiuuts. Theo fuli-o teachers oviilt because it is written, 'Render unto Cies.ir the things that uro Cupar's.' Hut that which is not Cii'-ar'a- Is it nectary to ronder unto him that? And Liberty doe not belong to Ca-.u It belongs to Ikuuuii nature." Noiwiihstaudiug the piceuco of tho king and his frowjiiug court, this annunciation of Iho pure spirit of the go-pel of Chrint w,s received with e burst of applause, which shook the venerable pile to Us foundation. Yes, move ! it caused tho very llironu of do'-potio. power nt the'Tuileiies to tremble, and llually toppled it into ruins, When in) lei t Hie door of tho church, thu peoplu. delighted to hear such sentiments iu feudal France, so long ovei ridden by pi luces and priests, sei.eiU him. in thu cxubciuncc of their gratitude, and lino him to his homo lu u trhunphui cluilr.de .'onUi.il with wvcaths nnd garland, and then the vast tmiltitiu'c, surging tlirouah Iho directs raised three cheers for Jesus Christ. Jesus is indeed the friend of the poor man, nud tho helper of thu oppressed. Did tho masses hut appre ciate his sympathy for them, they would in dued feel that ho was their friend. , If n peaaiit, with wife and child tolling In tho (ield. in the cultivation nf forty acres of land, raised crops to the value of SfMO, the klntf. tho lord, and the church, took nix hundred dollars of this, and left the. peasant and his racged. emaciated family, but forty dollars. No allusion was allowed to bo matin (o such wrongs. Kin?, noble, and oclcs.intie alike rose in vengeful remonstran ces, exclaiming. "It Is political preach III!.' The old hypocrites! Thomas Jef ferson, in the venr I78.V wrote from I'uris, to Mrs. Trist ot" Philadelphia : " Of twonty millions of people supposed to bo iu France. I am of the opinion that there are nineteen millions more wretched, more accursed iu every clrcumtaiice of hu man existence, than the mnH conplctioitsly wretched indtvlduul of the whole United Stales." And yet tho Christianity of that day wan not allowid to make the slightest icl'erenc" to such outrages. It was this state of things which inaugurated the French Revolution, tho most terrific of ull Time's tragedies. Twenty millions or people, trampled in the mire, rose ghatly and frenzied, and tiio (Lumps nf feudal castles, mid the shrieks of haughty oppressors nppnltcd the world. The stories of this outburst of eii'luved humani ty is the niowt Instructive in the annals of nations. The struggle was the mut mem orable In the long series of conflicts between aristocratic assumption and popular rights. All aristocratic Kuropo then combined to crie-h thu people demanding equality of privilege lu the eye of tho law. with their lords. The courts of llu'ilu. Prussia, Sue den, Austria. Kngland and Spain all the ktimsaud nobles of Furoiiu i allied their armies. Tho people of France rose, with tdl the energies of despair, in defense of i qual ity nf rights. Such combats earth never s iw before, probably never will B'o again. Two worlds, w K were, came clashing to- uelhcr. All thu combined aristocracy of Ivtropi' were on the one side. All tho mas ses of tho people were on Iho other side. It was becauo they believed, right or wrong, that tho motto of equal rigts for all men was beaming from tho banners of thu Kuip're, that they inarched so heroically to the victories of Marengo. Wugram and Aiih terlilr.. And iu tho llnal victories of the despots, aristocratic- privilege again tri umphed In l'urop', and " Hope for a reason bade tho world farewell." A similar though less Funguinnry cnnfl'ct had previously taken plnco in Kngland. be tween the united courtiers and Cavaliers niider'Charles I., and the Puritans under Cromwell. It was the same irrepressible couflct. The common people of Kngland. slowly emerging from feudal servitude, and gradually acquiring intelligeuco and prop erty, grew native under tho yoke which tho lords had for age.s Imposed upon them. With prayer, and fasting, and hymn, they drew IhoVword iu defenso of equal rights fir,- all, ami met their foes at Man-ton Moor and Nicrhy. Jlefore the sturdy blows of the Roundhead-', tho Cavaliers bit the dust. Hut aristocracy triumphed as Chanes II. rcturni il to tho'throne. Ouv hiritnn fathers weff again humiliated, anil tin? foot of Che oppressor was upon their heads again. Then It was lu tills dark hour of appar ently hopeless defeat that onr fathers adopted the heroic resolve, to abandon homo and posm esions, In cross a stormy ocean of three thiuniul miles, to exile thcm-clvrs to tho wild.iernesn of a new world, uud here, strugnliug ngftiust famine, u savage foe and hardships of every kind, to found n republic where all men. iu the eyes of the law should bo equal. No privi leged class was to bo allowed. Fducation was to bo e.s widely diffused as possible. Tho poor and the rich were to be alike eli gible to alt odlces of honor and emolument. It was a long stride which they had taken. Ami yet (hero still clung to them, some of thu prejudices nf thu old world of aristo cratic usurpation, fiom which they had emerged. Thu North liritiMi Review, in the spirit of that execrable aristocracy which had so Inn dominated over Kuvope. con demning Iho equal rights for all, which Na poleon maintained in France, .said : If iho peasant, tho grocer or the tailor, can scrape together a little money, his son receives his training in thu same school, as tho son of the proprietor whoso laud ho cul tivates, who'-o sugar and coll'eo ho mnpllcs, and whoso coat lm makes. Tho boy, who ought to bo a laborer, or a petty tradesman, sits on the same bt'iieh ami learns tho same lesou, as tho boy who is Zestlned for thu bar, tho tribune or tho ok-il service of tho State. Tho grocer's; on cannot see why ho should uoi. become an advocate, a jouni nuliht, a statesman, as well as iho noble born lad, who was olteu below him iu tho class, whom ho (WJaslomilly thrushe.1. and olteu helped over the thorny places of his daily ta-u." Tho aristocracy of England, when they found that a Republic was oMublishcd iu till country, growing rapidly in wealth and puiver, made a ilcspcitttucHort to bring this (initially emancipated people under subjec tion to their privileged class. They en deavored to tax us, without our being rcp-icf-cntcdin parlimcnt to place tho appoint-lie-ut to all important oHice iu the bauds o" tho king of Kiinland, who would w td over 111' sons of Kuulanil's nobles to bo our gn-ernorsnud our judges, nnd who would till all tho pots of wealth, dignity' dtid power with the children of tho lords. Hence the war of the Revolution. It was a continuation or the Irrepressible con flict, belwe. n nrirncrntic usurpation ami popular rlahts. We, thu people, conquered nnd established our Government Independ ent of all the world. Proudly wo announc ed to the nations of- Uurope, as the tiorner st' no or our edifice, that " all men ar bom free nnd equal, and nro nllko entitled to tiro. Uhortv and the pursuit of happiness."

With persist euro never surpassed, tho Slaveholder) of the South endeavored to strengthen and ex tend their uristncrallc Institution, which was dooming ever-lncrenslng millions, to life-long servltud'i nnd degradation.

Tho ndmisioii of slavery to tho Territories cll'ectiially ex cluded freemen from them. The introduc tion to those vast realms. f n privileged class, who worn too live iu luxury upon thu uuiiald labor of the mi--es. rendered it In) possible thrtt men cherishing Hi) sentiment ol republican equality should settle tN-re.
