We repeat The charge, and stand ready to prort

Identified with the. Abotionists that all the Alb

Of the bank men there, including Mr.. Biddler
John Sergeant, John Quincy Adams, William
Slade, Daniel Webster and others, are Abolition
ISIS, as much so as Arthur Tappan, who Is one
Of tho leaders of the bank party IN New York
These men and this party have come out unanI-
mously for Henry Clay, so has the Editor OF the
"eoloured American" paper published by a

and Mr. Sergeant endeavored to insert clause IN
the Constitution Of Pennsylvania to extend the
right of suffrage TO all free negroes well Know
inc that their votes would always be controlled

acting with those men hcls opposed to slavery
in the abstract, he dcpreca,cs it as it exists in this
he openly advocates national CoIon-
cation and appropriations by Congress to remove
the colorod race to Africa; he coniesscs the ju.
isdetion Of Congress over the whole subject, as
be does its rights to lay tariffs upon the industry

here, in siare-holding Mississippi, who are open
y supporting him for the Presidency. They have
already elected to Congress two men devoted TO
his intcrests-or rather one man, for MIR. Word
can only be considered the trordleSS shadow OF
Prentss--a puppet in his hands, moving autom-
atom. without bone or muscle or brain or blood,
taught to utter the parrot cry of ditto, dilo, when
ever his colleague wnks, smirks, or jeers--and
now, they are passing over by botallions and col

march TO tho Presidential chair. Already have
