It is a good thing, and a very instructive result, that the principles of these Destructives have at last come out, and been openly published to the world, in the Constitution and “Bill of sentiments,” adopted by the New England Non-resistance Society. There is now no longer a disguise. They openly renounce allegiance to all government: “_We cannot acknowledge allegiance to any human government!_” Here, then, it is, fairly ushered into the light of day--_a condition of universal anarchy_, the proclaimed Jubilee of these reformers. We have only to say, that this new Society has come honestly and openly to the end, to which all the _Immediatists_ of whatever name, are rapidly advancing. The maxim--_Down with it_--which governs them all, and which is the soul, body, and foundation of their enterprise--cannot stop short of anarchy. There is nothing of importance in the avowed principles of this new Society, revolting and shocking as they are, which is not a legitimate consequence of Abolitionism; or, by the remotest degree of relationship, cousin-german to it. In the first place, they renounce allegiance to human government; the Abolitionists, to be consistent, ought to do the same; for they have made open war against it. _They_ have announced the doctrine of _Immediatism_[1] as their fundamental principle; that also is the fundamental principle of the Abolitionists. _They_ have levelled all distinctions in society, of rank, color, caste, and _sex_; and the doctrines of Abolitionism, carried out, have legitimately led them to this. _They_ have proclaimed the Agrarian principle, in all forms of application, and denied the right of defending property, or any civil inheritance, by human authority, or force of arms; and Abolitionism requires the sanction of this principle to affect its designs. _They_ recognise but one ruler--the King of heaven; it is equally necessary for the Abolitionists to set aside the authorities of earth. _They_ have no country but the world, and no countrymen but mankind; the Abolitionists seem to be equally devoid of patriotism. _They_ avow that neither nations, nor individuals, have a right to defend themselves against aggression; this will be convenient, and even necessary, to Abolitionists, in the execution of their plans. _They_ pronounce the doctrine, that “the powers that be are ordained of God,” “an absurd and impious dogma;” this, too, will be convenient to the Abolitionists, and it might be supposed, they had adopted it. _They_ declare against all military preparations; we presume the Abolitionists are equally unfriendly to them, as they might prove uncomfortable opponents in their career. “As every human government is upheld by physical strength, and its laws enforced virtually at the point of the bayonet,” _they_ “repudiate all human politics” and legislation; the Abolitionists are equally averse to the “politics” and legislation of the slave-holding States, and of course to the political fabric of the Union.
