ABOLITION AND THE BANK PARTY.
For some time past We have pointed out 70
our readers the dangerous partnership which hal
been formed between the Bank party and the Al.
olitionists. Although all that We have sald-nnd
much that is yet untold-is susceptible Of unden.
able proof, yet some may attribute our differences
to our fears, or TO the warmth Of party feelings
To all such, so thinking, we refer the article lhS
day copied from the Washington City Chronicle,
under the head of PoHtico .4bohiion Jourpola
Sometime ago, the Intellisencer at Washington,
the great organ Of The Bank and Clay party, cpen'
ed its columns to the infamous Slade to discuss
the question Of slavery. 1t has now returned
again to the same task. The Chronicle insists
upon il that there is "Coation' between tho
Nationals and the Fanatics. Slissss;ppans be.
ware There is danger abroad. If you value
your rights and institutions; your peace and your
| sovereignty, act in time. Never establish No
tonal Bank TO crush and grind down your own
banks, never place the price of your crops within
The control OF any men or corporation at Ia
North. Frown down 4he men who are ldeniih'
ed with this wretched policy-frown down Tho
hen who have preached up this great abolition
engine as the only remedy for the hard times
Go 10 the polls at the approaching election and
teach Mr.. PrentIss that you prefer your personal
independence and southern rights TO all the mo-
ney regulators he can start among his northern
friends.
THE POLITICO ABOLITION JOURNAL

of the National newspapers, in regard to the 40
elstouists. Ii in fact, but little surprises Us 10
