Abolition.--A friend has sent us an "Edinburg Chronicle," containing accounts of a "Rechabite," or Temperance Convention there, and also of an "Anti-slavery Breakfast," at both of which W. L. Garrison, a negro named Remond, and other Abolitionists from America, figured largely. From much that would bear comment, we select the following, viz:

Mr. Rogers said he could not help feeling surprised when he found he could walk through the streets of London arm in arm with his colored friend without being molested for so doing. Nobody in America dared to do such a thing. To be seen in company and on terms of equality with one of the dark-skinned race, was there a high offence in public estimation. Such was the monstrous tyranny and injustice of public opinion in that country of boasted freedom; but Mr. R. said he was determined to brave this tyranny when he should return to America, by appearing on the streets of Boston in company with his friend, Mr. Remond, in spite of popular prejudice, if that gentleman would consent to be a party in so great an offence."

We wonder whether the "lords and ladies" of the British Empire dare be seen walking the streets of London "arm in arm" with a WHITE STREET LABORER, an OPERATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTORIES, OR A PEASANT FROM THE COUNTRY?
