OHIO-ABOLITION.

OHIO-ABOLITTON
The Van Buren, papers of the South
may rejoice over their triumph in Ohio for
the present, but we sadly fear they viii
have cause, ere long, TO mourn over ii.
The Abolitionists united with the Van

Of slavery. Mr.. Pendleton replied con-
cisely and TO the point, but DIR. Duncan
thought proper to indulge in a violent and
ungeAerous attack upon Southern institu-
tons, ind closed by saying in substance,
that he was not an abolitionist, but the
next thing toQne. In the Western part
Of Ohio where the great mass of popula.
ton reside, the aholitonists used every ex-
ertion TO make the election turn upon abo-
ition primo iples,-aud hence the Van Blu
rem victory. Those who rejoice over the
Van Busen abolition rictOry in Ohio are
blinded, or else, we think they would
mourn, as every true Southernor should.
To convince the reader that we are not
mistaken as to the extent that abolition
4 principles have taken root in Ohio, we
publish the following from an abolition
paper:
