urrgoa in ipoj.ContcqaoDCca of Abolitionism*Udtil abolitionism had reared Its ugly bead ia tbo North, says tbe Detroit Fret Prrti, the tendency of legislation io tbe Southern Stales was to emancipation of Ibo blacks and amelioration of iheir coodillon. It lias been different since, of which fact we bare an example In recentaelien in Missouri. Tbe Houee ot Representativea of that State haa paaitd an act which provides ibat do a'ave shall be deemed emancipated until his master at all hare entered Into bonds Id the sum of two thousand dollars to remote Ibo negro within ninety days after the act of emancipation; and if any negro who may thus havo been transported from the Slate aball return, be shall be reduced 10 slavery. All free negroes wbo may be residents oJ the State in I860 ire declared to be slaves, and tbe Sheriff may sell them, A provision oi tbe bill Is, that tbo money arising from tbe sale of tucb negroes aball constitute part of the school fuud of the State. This bill is in accordance with the doctrine of Mr. Fjumi P. Buia, junr., the Black Republican champion wbo was brought to Michigan last year and put upon tbe stump. That is, that a condition of the emancipation of all Blavcs abould bo that they should lcavo tbo State. That Is the doctrine of Fjunk P. Blair, jr., and it can not be denounced unless be be denounced. But, forty years ago, before the rise of abolitionism,and before it had provoked tbe South to stringent measures regarding negroes, this would have been deemed severe legislation. Tbe fact is, abolitionism is the worst enemy tbe negroes have ercr bad.with tbe Evansville and CrawfordsviHo Railroad in various important relations, has tendered his resignation as a Director in that Company, and is abcut to accept the position cif General Financial Agent of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.

H i a duties, w 0 learn, will not require him to remove hi* residence from Terre Haute- His political frienda of that place, we see, propose to make him tbeir candidate fur Mayor.Opposition Testimony.Lest there be those wbo may affect to doubt ihe statement in a late i^sue showing tbe economy which distinguishes the administration of the General Government, we will famish a little testimony from Ihe opposition to tbe same effect. “A companion of the estimates submitted to Cod • grew for the various departments of tbo public service, and the Rums finally embraced iu ibe appropriation bills/' says lire iYu/wriaf Era, ibo Black Republican print at Washington, “would convey the impression that rcaland great retrenchment had been not only resolved upou, but actually earned out.”Nullification in Now York.Tbe New York Re publi ca n Central Csmmitteo have adopted resolutions denouncing Ibe United States Supreme Court for ila decision ia the Drcd Scott case, stigmatizing tbo Judges as criminals, and applauding tbe Personal Liberty Dili uow before tbe Legislature of that State.
