The Arkansas advocate., 1835-12-25

letter to the Editor of the Richmond En quirer, for the purpose of pufiing off tht strength and movements of the Convention We shall leave it 10 the Uiica Observer, tC {unmaslS. the nsidious impostor (Noah,) ant expose the elaborate misrepresentations 0 the Editor and his Report"
 Richmond Enquirer.
 From Noah's Evening Star.
 The Utica Observer will undertake nc such thing, for 1t knows that the report ir the Star was correct, and 1t will not do fol Mir. Ritchie to shuflle on this subject. Ky. cry body who knows the 4 B of abolition IS perfectly satisfied that M. Van Buren, and his allies at the North, are using this matter to promote his election to the Pres ldenev. The Argus Is in the secret, and blows hot and cold all the time, as the occa- sion requires. In Massachusetts, the ral- { lying cry of the Jackson party is "Anti. slavery" and Mr. Everett is opposed ky ] the leading Jackson journals, in the western part ofthe state, because he opposes the fan atics. The Hampshire Republican, (Mass.) which we have quoted before, calls upon the abolitionists to oppose the whigs upon this very ground. Hear what the Al. bany Argus says of the leading Jackson aboitionst of Massachusetts:
 "One of the ablest and most phlosophi- cal of the political publications of the day, Is the address Of the democratic young men ol Massachusetts, written by Gro. T. BAN- CROFT, Esq. It points to the true origin oi parties, and to the essential distinction be- tween the Democracy and the Aristocracy, sketchIng the character and tendency of each with peculiar force and felicity. We quote from 1t to-day the "TRUE CH4RAc- TER OF WHIGGERY"; reserving for another occasion a more extended notice of and more copious extracts from an address which abonnds in apt and clear illustrations of moral and political truth.o
 Yet the Argus, another day, will say the abelitionists are without means, without numbers, without influence and without brains. MT. Bancroft Is an open, avowed Jackson abolltionist, stands at the head of the party in Massachusetts, and is dis tinguished scholar and politician.
 The following sign is from the Genessee Gazette. It exhibits the current and under current of Van Burenism:
 Follett Is in trouble because some of his leaders are aboitionsts. F. R. Bascom F. c. D. Mckay, S S. F F. Phoeuix, Henry Phoenix. John D. Landon, and host of others signed the call for the Antl-Slavery convention at Utica. They are all Van Bu- ren men. We should not have alluded to this subject at all, were 1t not from the fact that the Batavia Times week or two ago insinuated that the aboliiionists were princi- pally opposed to the present administration. The leading Van Buren paper in New York, the Evening Post, is violent abolition pa- per, and one of the prime movers in the cause. The only abolition paper in Utica is also Van Buren paper. Straws always show which way the wind blows"
 This shows how the matter Is 10 be man. aged. In the Western District, in this state, where Mir. Van Buren has no strength, the leaders are io be aboiilonists. Wher- ever there is weak spot iu the party, they are 10 be fortified with abolition. Where they are strong the abohtionists are 10 be denounced 10 please the South.
 The New York Evangelist mentions that instead of having two hundred members, as the Argus reports, or one thousand as we stated, that ii has since been ascertain ed that there were upwards of tivelce hun d''ed members at tue ConueRtioa, including those who arrived after "perish Commerce. got up the ''preteaded siot," as the Van Blu ren organ, the Utica Observer, calls it.
 What will the Argus or Ritchie say if fifteen hundred of the most respectable in- habitants of Utica should publicly afix their names to a declaration that the Utica mob was got up in the manner and form, and with the objects which we have stated?
 We say put down the abollionists, the honor and safety of the country demands t, but do not let Van Buren, at the eleventh hour, pretend to do it, in order to make a favourable impression on the South.
