Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1838-11-13

We hail with pleasure the following energetic Ian
gunge from that able Wing paper, the n. York Gazette
II speaks trumpet tongued against The Pes'iieh' aoo
tIunIsts:
"Tle sweeping denunciaton OF the Chronicle against
all The returned The abolition qnerles is ra

ard, Marcy, and Tracy ought not TO he mus 'teatu-
thou. confess il would in our opinion, nave ueeh
much proper TO have treated the quers!s win Tue
contempt they merited, and either mol nave answered
them al all, with The indignant scorn 10 when 'ney

voters in the city Of ~ Y had not expunged him as we

charged by the abolition press upon US, nut because we

il is not therefore, in spirit Of any such abjrcl base

city taken the oath OF God 10 support the Constitution

that will render guilty of perjury. But, we VIII say

Of the Union. We feel that proud consciousness al

But what do we see at this very moment in Mcssa
chuselts The Salem Gazette of the 9th (Whig) uses
among other nvocaons to the Abnlitonlsts (who arc
about 10 meet in Convention the next day) the follow
ing expressions:
"The V. b. Abolilionists have the best renson tc
believe will aci with entire independence OF this Conven
tion and will almost 10 man vote for their own parry
candidates. without the slightest reference 10 lhei! opIh
ions on slavery But Of the Wing AbolIllonist:
will undoubtedly torego their party preferences, Il
the Convention should vote. Our conviction is Sc
strong. that person who is at all sincere in oPPos
ing slavery, can possibly support Mr.. Van buren,
with his gratritous and most proligatc threat Of ce'o
ing bill to abolish slavery in the District, and hi'
still more proigae and audaciors casting UCtc to throw
open the mails 10 plundcr and 10 authorize the seizure
and confaC grafton of the letters and papers OF Abolition
lists in every Southern post Office that we have no dou6
every pretence of uniting the support Of Mr. Van BuTeT
and opposition 10 Slavery, IS hypocritlcal nd false j
there could be any just occasion OF doubt on tins SUBJECT
the professions and conduct of Nh Van Buren,, ana TIC
members Of his Cabinet, and The Van Buren, party in
Congress would furnish conscientious AbulItonlsls with
decisive lest Of duty in reference 10 the abolition qucs
ton.
u The general Election in Massachusetts took place
yesterday. The Anii-Slavery Convention was 10 meei
on Wednesday, for the purpose o! giving the Abolition
ISIS the cue how 10 vote at the Election.
We consider this question SO vital 10 the Union ise!
so much more important than any Of the party srug
giles Of the day, that invoke every Wing press 10
come out against these pests Of the country
We call upon every American to scout their designs to
arrest ali political Abotionsm and 10 put dOlcn the .lJo
hiiowisfs We invoke every man who loves this Union
to rally against them
