ABOLITIONIsTS.

The abominable and wicked leaders of
these deIuded and misguided fanatics, are
not satisfied with attempting an infamous
amaIgamation that would be fragrant out
rage upon the decencies of we'll ordered
society, but are openly aiming at a politi-
cal amalgamation with the Wing party.
At first they protested to be actuated
solely by what Webster more ingenious
ly than ingenuously denominates "a great
religious sentiment" but now they have
become more daring, and have at length
thrown off the mask that concealed their
whining, canting hypocrisy, and are bold
ly grasping after political power and infu-
ence.
They are open and loud in their denun-
Citations of Mr.. Van Buren,, and lavish their
cncomiums upon Clay, with an unsparing
hand, because the first has declared that
any bill authorizing the abolition of slave
nv in the District of Columbia can never
receive his constitutional sanction, and
because the second has evinced a friendly
disposition towards them, and expressed
opinions harmonizing with their own.
This is fortunate issue for the slave
: holding states. The subject is now pre-
sented in its most tangible FORM Here
we can fearlessly meet them, and by tn
result of the contest show the utter futil
itv of their unhallowed attempts to SOW
the seeds of domestic discord amongst us
and root up the foundations of our socla
4 and political institutions.
: At the next presidential election Ola.
# will be presented to the South as the faith
: full and sworn ally of the abolitlonists c
e the North, and we will have either to sho'
spirit of acquescence in their plans 70
social, political and religious disorganiza
II ton, by supporting him for the presidency

: maintain our domestic institutions in al
n their prestine, beauty and grandeur by op
= posing his elevation and supporting hi
u opponent.
0 Mr.. Van Buren, has fairly committee
) himself on the subject of slavery, whatev
4 er his enemies may say about his "non
$ commttal" policy, and none but gum
q would now have the folly to impeach hin
b with abolitionism, or entertaining opinion
IS at all consonant with the wishes of aboli
> tionists. For his known disapprobation O
!, their principles they denounce him in tn
J fiercest terms throughout the northern
: states. Take one example to our purpos
!, quite, the following extract from the L
. mancipator, their especial organ, and
paper too, that has openly avowed its pre-
objections for Clay:
"On the 4th of March, 1887, Mr. Van Buren,

"The President of the United States declares
