The Persistency of Hate.
--The Washington Chronicle concluding an editorial, says:‘ "If a thirty years war is necessary for the attainment of these ends so help us God it shall be established"
Just twenty years ago, in the Federal Congress, Mr. Dellet, of Alabama asked Mr. Adams whether he understood him to say "that is God's good time the abolition of slavery would come, and let it come?"
Mr. Adams nodded assent, and said with great earnestness, "let it come."
Mr. Dellet--"Yes, let it come No matter what the consequences, let it come, said the gentleman. Let it come, though women and child on should be slain though blood should flow like water, though the Union itself be destroyed, though Government shall be broken up. No. matter though five millions of the people of the South should perish."
Mr. Adams--"Five hundred millions, let it come." Congressional Reports.
