what shall be said OF the Icsuilry Of the editor the
Chronicle We leave him answer tbs question.
Is il sol
In reference TO an allegation OF the North Carroll
na Standard that Mr.. Clay was 4" an Abolt,onst at
heart'-"hat very recently said the Emaacipdtof,
one OF the papers referred To by the Chronicle !
We ask attention to the following extract, first
promising that the Convention called in kentucky is
supposed to have had reference almost exclusively
TO the prospective Abolition OF Slavery;
From the Emancipation
| The North Carolina Standard attempts 10 prove
| Mr.. Clay is Abolltionist ut heart because he rs
IN favor OF a Convention IN Kentucky. But the
| Raleigh Register, a paper OF much authority among
! Mr.. Clay's supporters, that Mr.. Clay is OPP
posed 10 the Kentucky Convention. Aud IT Is A
| FACT THAT MOST OF THE LEADING PA
PERS IN KENTUCKY, WHICH FAVOR MIR.
! CLAY, oppose the Convention that Mr.. Cay's SON,
| Henry Clay Jr., member OF the late Legs
| latute aud opposed the Convention with all his
| might and that the paper winch has taken the
bodest stand IN favor Ola Convention, is the Frank
fort Argus, the leading Van Buren, paper of which
Hon Amos kendoll, Z. M. e.. was formerly Edi-

In reference TO the Identification Of the Northern
Wings with tho Abotonists, the Emancpator thus
speaks:
The North Carolina STANDARD insists that the
Abolltlonists have identified themselves with the
party IN opposition TO the Administrations" This Is
mistake; many Abollionsts firm supporters OF
! the Administration. 1t also says. " II We hold an
Indissolube communion with the Northern Democ-
racy, safe" Ii the STANDARD means such
A. Northern Democracy" as that OF Amasa Walker,
| George Bancroft, Seth Whitmarsh and Amos Farm
worth, IN Massachusetts. or OF +. ID. Barber, In
! Vermont, Dutee J. Pearcc, in Rhode Island or
| the Evening Post in New York, or Thos Morris
and Robert Stewart, in Ohio, we think 50 too"
The persons named in the foregoing paragraph
are leading Abolitlonsts, and at the time con
stute "A portion of Mr.. Cahoun's new allies IN the
North
1t fair and just to say that the editor Of the r.
mancipator calls himself Wh,g-but We are glad
10 learn that he will mo-, support Mr.. Clay. On this
point he says;
I've arc a Wbig and voted with the Wings
and wish timely 10 inform the Wings, that the Pres
idcnt of the American Colonization Society never
be President of the Caitsd States. One Prcsi-
dency AT time must suffice ioi HIM.
- II lie will but 70 TO Liberia. that paradise Of
the whole EARTH he may there exercise his office
III all It's minulia. but il he stay here, Martin IAN
Buren, before Henry Clay"
The strange anomaly is here seen, that, while in
the South, Mr.. Clay is condemned because he is
President olthe Colonization Society, on the ground
that Colonization is but 4 mdcr type Of the Abo-
ltion fever, he is denounced by the Aboonlss
of the North because Colonization is hostile TO
Abolition !!
What says the Philadelphia Freeman another
and decidedly the most violent of the Abolition pa
pers
From the Pennsylvania Freeman.
" We regret that truth and the cause OF human
ity, which he has betrayed, compel us TO speak OF
HENRY CLAY as an enemy OF Freedom.
I" We speak not otthe Missouri Compromises
Over that deed OF darkness we have been willing 10
allow the shadows Of the past 10 settle Tor we
hoped,-nay, We believed,--that Henry Clay
GREETED his agency in that dreadful extension Of the
curse and the stu of slavery. But his recent
in the Senate of the United States, has reluctantly
compelled us to consider him most dangerous
envy TO the cause OF universal liberty"
The editor of the Freeman quotes Mr. Clsy's
4nh abolition resolutions offered in the Senate last
winter, and, closing with allusion to his oppose
ton to the Kentucky Convention, excIalms, May
God forgive him: the people ofthe free States can

The same paper in answer to the Globes remark
that the Northern Wings and Abolitionsts were i
Identified, enumerates long list of distinguished
Northern Democrats, who are the most efficient al
hes and agents of the Abolition party in the North
while anoherp paper, the NorthStar' of We rmont,
endcavors to excite the Aboonists Of that State a
gaInst the Whgs and to get their votes for the Van
Buren, party, the express ground that Patton's
resolution, by which the incendaries were kept out
of the halls of Congress, carried by the Wing
party-an allegation false in itself, We know, 50 far ms
is designed TO be exclusive in its character (snce
some OF both parties voted for and against that
lutionJ but which We advert TO FOR the purpose OF
in the North, for the purpose Of securing Abolition
votes for Van Buren, and his party.
For our own parts, we believe that the ldenti
cation of the Abolition question with the Politics OF
the Day is the only thing that has so long kept the
fanatlcal fever alive, just similar course gave an

fame and an evanescent existence. Separate political
aspants from the Abolition question, and will die

male and female And their object is too plain to be
misunderstood IL iSto RUN the country ifdcy cannot

than serve in Heaven"
We maintain now, in reference to this question,
the position which we have always held in relation
to the Northern peo le-whlch is, that they arc,
