We have nothing To fear from such Aboiliorists as
H.. Van Buren, or Gen. Harrison, so long as we do not
,yr.oT,t them ourselves or from any other Northern or
r:tiral .Abo!l,ionisis; but every thing from Southern
lgaJuouis,s-Such us support either Harrison or Van
Buien. or any other enemy to our domestic institutions;

with those Of the Van Buren, party, in the very mo-
men, of i glorious triumph TO the Constitution and
S,u.se:n Rights, have abandoned the first and most I'LL
mu.at outwork OF Southern slavery, and opened the
tA:s Of Congress to the Abulltonists, and their legis-
hGye action on the question; Or, but from party inlu-
e.s. and under the very darkest of party blindness,

"y,a1al G~orernmcnt aid the cause Of Emancipati0n,
,C0 appropriate the surplus revenue to that object: !:
Can anr inconsistency beat lllis?-any madness, or party
blindness: Mr. Pinckney's conduct was bad enough,
karen knows, and richly deserved all the whitening de-
agacatons which the WHY lcveIied against it-yct did

Now, what may We not expect, alter this what not
deeply dread from ourselves, as our own worst enemies:
VA even Arthur Tappan himself (who is not a whit
T9I.e than ilarsisonD has not yet openly advocated and

Abolition candidate for the Presidency. But this is
done jy d ~Suutiera man, and the South all look on with
Indifference al most, while some even approve ana aid

a Division of the South on this question, as upon
The Tariff, NC. &c, is what we have most Dreaded
indeed, all that we have dreaded, from the first; and as
Il proceeds onward, and intermlngles Itself with others,
and with party, the greater is the cause Tor alarm. We
asan say, wEat it is indeed painful to say, and still more
