It ia but a ehort time 8nce the abolitionists wcre a petty faction of fanatics - a contemptable band of visionaries, whose vagaries excited only ridicule and pity. Thus in 1840, they numbered only about six thousand throughout the whole extent of the Union. Will it be believed that snee that time- in the brief spa ce of three years--this petty faction, this little dique of aix thousand individuáis, haa increased inlo a well organized party, with its ramifications every where, numbering sixtt five thousand rnembers? - If this does not strike alarm, and arouse the friends of the Union,nothing will do it but the tumultuous din of the national fabric tbundering in their ears.

The preceding article is from the New York Herald. We are under especial obligalions to James Gorden Bennet for publishiog these "immovable, unquestionable, startling figures" to his 30,000 subscribers. Through that paper and its exchanges they will reach some hundred thousand readers, intheNorth and Soutb. who could not be reached by an anti-slavery paper. The facts are well worthy of the attention of politicians and patriots, and we hope Mr. Bennet will continue to apprise his readers of the anti-slavery progress, alarming indeed to slave-breeders and their apologists like him, but the cause of hope and joy to suffering millions. We trust he will find much greater cause of alarm next year. OIMark Howard, Esq.. Poslmaster ot this place has been removed, and Geo. Danforth, Esq. , appointed in his place. We suppose the alteration has been made on political grounds, Mr. Howard being 1 Whig, and Mr. Danforth a Democrat.
