Never was the Apot6egm, extremes are nearer than
their MEANS more singuarly verified than in the con-
duet OF these two parties Protesting be the very po-
luca antPodes of each other they have neverthelass
been Tor some time past always found acting in Congress-
ana In The public prints and at tic Spring Eieciions in
the stctest concert and accordance A0ITArIos is The
wltchword of either party, and further this conmon
purpose they are always found fighting side by side
inc MENUS OF WINE, not content simply the
ailies oil Inc Aboonists by spreading their most able
and ncendaryI productions throughout the South bv
their speeches and in their papers, by flying 10 their
rescue whenever IN Congress is sought 10 suppresa
debate ana agation by laying their obnoxious petitions
on the table, or sending them silently to a committee in.
struced 10 report unfavoraby seem also TO zen, IL her
imperative duty all occasions become the eulos,s
OF the Aootionsis-to stand sponsors for their veracity
and rcspectabty.
Ii believe the Whg Oralors and the XVb;v
rresses the only truthful people the North are Arthur
faPpan, Gerrt Smith 81 Co; for they are constantly as
surfing that their vile ncendares tell the truth the
whole truth and nothing bat the TRUTH when hey speak
OF the great numbers aud respec liability OF their partv
whilst on The other hand they quite as confidently assert
that the great body of the public Press the Stale e.
gsatures and the representation Congress from the
North are endeavoring to deludc by sheer faschood
and misrepresentation this subject Nav they tell
u.s. that these last in truth at heart as much abo
iuo0ists as Smith and Tappanbut that they ba GO moi
the honesty and fearless Independence like Sm;tl and
TGppan, TO their real sentiments Moreover tese
friends OF White have lately discovered that ali who
THINK Congress has the constitutional power TO abolish
slavery IN The District OF Columbia, however morally
wrong and inexpedicnt fhey may deem the exercise Of
such power, ia truth abOlitionisis They well know
HAT
gress has such power.
We friends Of White, who have thus discovered that
every man, woman and child, at the North an abuli-
u0nist what VIII you do ncxtwhy do you hesitate and
later: II ye do verify believe what you SO roundly
assert you are guilty OF little less than treason TO h,
South, 10 pause at such crisis fl Won are s;ncsrs IN
the Opinions you express, why do you not like our pa
ri0uc Governor, set about putting your house in order
Tor new state Of thngsY Every body at tie South
and at tie North too, admits that whenever the great
mass OF me people OF The nonsayehoding States be-
come aDoilionss dissolution Of the Union the only
ty OF the people of The South. You say this stale of
tbIngs has already arrivcdhen friends Of Judge White
why DO ye slumbcr and sleep, whilst yonr ot,se Is in
hames over your heads? This inconsistency between
your conduct and your professions is easily accounted
ior aud an indignant people will long reward you "a
you deserve Tor amPerng with delicate subject You
preach what you know to be alsen truth YOU deem the
abolition excitement of little consequences or Won are
reckless Of conscqueuces that you have monnled Il
as bebby TO ride yonr party into political power party
u whIch the Abolitioniss form integral part and
without whose aid you well know you can never succeed
