TIE Observation-Disclosures VI.


Recent events have than satisfied us Of the
truth Of The declaration, which we have frequently
made, that the AboiiionjSts do not belong = either
the Wing or to the Democratic party exclusively,
but that thousands OF the rink and file well as the
leaders, are lnGiscrimmately attached to each. The
obvious reflection, 1t seems to us, which IS suggested
by this iact,-a fact 10 which none but the wiluy
blind shut their cyes-is the folly Of endeavor-
ing, IN the South, to identity either panty, at the
North, with that reslllent faction; and the duty Of
acting towards each individual asplrant, of either
party, as his this subject shall render him
worthy Of our confidence orof our denuncatlon.
a brief glance at some Of The recent events, re-
ered to, may perhaps fully explain what we
mean.
We have heretofore mentioned that the Aboli-
lioniss in New ok had calechzed the several can
ddates for office IN that State, reference TO the
various objects contemplated by their association
As far as we are apprized, only of these candi
dates, Q4nrher Bradlshhe Wing nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor.) responded satisfactorily TO them
The others dissented from their views-Ilcncc
the Abou,onists Of the City, under the immediate
guidance of their most Influential leaders, in meet
ing assembled, determined that they would not
dldate for Governor, and for no candidate indeed
who declined 10 answer their heterogeneous afhrna-
lively. On the other hand the ALBANY Auti-Slave-
~ Society resolved to support Mr. Seward for
Governor, we'll Mr. Bradsh for Leutcn-
ant Governor, aud addressed Circular to their
brethren of the same principle, throughout the
State urging ZEN 10 do likewise, IN the ground that
the Wings. parry, had been less iutoletant in
then course towards them than tie Democrats, cs
peclay in the matter of the Right Of Petition, -
which thcy falsely declare las been lramred under
lootby the refusal of Congress ION their n-
reference with the conslulionally guaranteed rights
of the Southern people. What influence this Cir
calar may have exered, we are not prepared to say
judging from the tone Of writer in The New York
American we should suppose scarcely any We
have idea that the Abolilionsis, hrou bout the
State, concentrated then strength upon either party
but, the other hand believe thelr vote was d.
vded at place Ter the Wings and at another Tor
the Democrats, as local feelings or personal attach
menrs orpas party associations may have predomina-
ated. lin Albany they went en- maSSc for the Whcsn
New DIRK probably they di not vote at all, and in
the remoter sections divided their suifrages, under
the influences above advcred to. We have now be-
{
brated Gent Smith, at Utica, on the Sd uuno at
meeting convened for the pur ose ofdelberatihg up
ON the Political Action" the fanatics at the then
forthcoming election, in which he declares that he
cares comparatively little which parry succeeds
whether Wing Administration mem !" and in
which he invoked his associates to vote for Adolf
tonisls, and for but Abolillonlsls, no matter
TO which political division they belonged. And
tbs we imagine, is the general sentiment preya-
lent anon est the dcludcd fanatics by whom this
Mononanac is almost def d. This want of
concentrations farther evidenced by the contents Of
the Nelo York american, the editor of which paper
lnyohes the support OF the Abotoni,ts for the Wing
ticket, because the Wings generally less violent
towards them than the Democrats, whilst a writer in
his columns, under the signature Of AN Aboli-
uonIst," intimates that the Aboiuionists ought
( TO vote for the Wings, because the Wing
party have paid no respect to their feelings or opn-
ions in making their nominations because the Abb
olltionsts, as body, are openly vhied by leading
Wing Journals, particularly in iha, city; and because
Mr.. Clay, whose election to the Presidency the Abb
o6uonsts, he says, would gard as g,eat evil"
IS openly held up by them as the Wing candidate
for that high Office
put H. d. VIII most PROBABLY be inferred from the
Albany Circular, by those who, for the ptiful pur-
pose OF eiecng party triumph in the South, are
wiling TO strengthen tie Abolition cause at the North,
by identifying ii with powerful party, in the main
as hostile TO it as hen own,-we say if should be
inferred from that Circular that the Abolonisls as
party supported the Wings IN Ne,c York, do we not
see that as party, they supported the Democrats
IN OHIO! The Cnoinua, Republican "a ConseIva-
tive paper tells us, that "Abolltlonism aud Van Blu
renlsm went hand in hand IN Ohio. Abolition in O.
hlo is the handmade OF Loco Focoism" And il
adds: " If the (Rehmond) Enquirer is at all scep-
cal with regardto what we assert, we are prepared
to prove to his satisfaction and the satisfaction of
every Sou'herner open to convictions that Fan Bu-
rem has pledged By his friends the Abolioniss
Of ONO" We do not say. that Van Buren, has given
any authority to make such pledge, because our
object in these remarks is not to identity either par
ty, or any prominent member Of either patty. with
that faction; but, simply facts in corrobota-
