They are not more Abolitionist than President Jefferson himself, and they never made use of the cry with any other object than that of cheating the English public into a false sympathy. We are far from blaming President Lincoln for refusing to comply with the demand of his hot-headed colleague, Secretary Cameron, by exciting a servile war. Such a power, once out in motion, might drench the land in blood, and redden over the prospect with a confusion of burning cities; it might avenge a thousand personal wrongs, and retaliate upon the master an exaggeration of his own bad passions in the madness of the slave, but it would be a crusade which human nature would condemn, and which would render no aid to the real progress of liberty.
