But seriously this is wrciched attempt Of the
f.j.,,l orator to draw the attention Of the people
from their objections to him arising from bis po-
Ehc,l associates. The Van Buren journals of
nj, State make abolition the question only thus
fr-or the two sets of candidates before the peo-
ole, one, if elected, will act with the federal party
he allies Of the aboltionists, the other will oppose
hsm We do not charge the supporters Of Prem
ass and Word with being abolitionlsts. We know
they condemn and abhor the fanatics as much as
We DO. But we say they are serving their cause
indirectly. Every vote given 10 federast, or a
national is so much weight thrown into the scale
Of abotionism.
But it is impolitic and wrong 10 agatc this
Question-it is raising false issue. So says Mr..
Prenss. What did the same gentleman say and
think in 1882 Then it was the vcly question
which ought to be ogiiated, the very one al issue.
Gov Runnels was to be put down because he
was friendly to Mr.. Van Buren,. Mr.. Prentiss
VISITED The North in the summer Of that year, ard
on his return he did ogitae the question, he did
faise tic issue before the people The Clinton
Gazette Of September the 18th Of that yeur has
the following article.

liss, ESQ, Of VIcksburg, who visited The North
during last summer, says nlnety-nine out OF an
hundred Of the abolItionsts, are the warm aud
devoted partisaus Of Martin Van Buren,. A man
is known BY his associates. The little magician
ia an abolihonst."

With tho Na,chez Free Trader, who were tic
associates of the Hon. S S. Prcnliss al the
great supper at Washington Ciiyl Were they
State rights men; were they friends Of the souhP
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay can best answer
that question.
VIaeISn-The State election in Virginia will
take place OIL the last Thursday in April; and the
Legislature then chosen will elect United States
Senator. The term for which Mr. Rives was elect
aexpires in March, 1889.
The mad and reckless course Of Prentss in at
tempting u deprive the people Of the new counties
Of representation in the Legislature, was suddenly
checked by the good sense Of that body. The peo-
pic will put like seal upon his lcnsngs after seat

uemoCra'c address. 1t was bitter pill for the fed
