New Bedford Mass Gazette. he would
no doubt have stood good chance OF
being made acquainted with his Honor
Judge Lynch.
We publish the following proof, taken
from the columns of the Nashville Wing,
of the views of Mr. Harris, editor of the
Nashville Union. on the subject Of Abo-
Hilton while officiating as editor of the
New Bedford Gazette.
The Pro9f-We have for some time
past been apprised of the existence of
the documentary proof of A5oltiOnisns
aoainst the Northern man of Southern
DTo fessions now in charge of the Nash
vile T-nion.-We were apprIsed of the
| ,abid shirt of anti-sIavery that peryaded
the columns of the Van Buren, Gazette
which he edited and published in New
Bedford. Massachusetts, and felt every
assurance that on the forthcoming of his
files. he would be condemned out of his
own mou h.
The proof is now at hand. A portion
of ia conclusive portion, too-aPpears
in the following article from this morn
ing's Banner, to which we beg to direct
the attention of the candid of all parties.
The sentiments of the present editor OF
the Union, while engaged in defending
the claims of Martin Van Buren, and
Henry Croker on the confidence OF
severv Aboltionist in New Bedford >
are clear and unequivocal, and we do
him the justice to add, they are put forth
with the same emphatic confidence that
has marked his recent efforts I'm the
cause of truth in this quarter.
We are far from rejoicing over the
startling developments copied below, and
are free to say that under different cir |
the existence of such damn /
ing proofs of Antj-Southern notions,
might be palliated, if not excused. They /
transpired in a Northern town; were
the effects of Northern Prejudices;
springing, perhaps. from honest convic-
tons, and for aught we know, may have
been repented Of so soon as the author
crossed the Potomac. But these apollo
gies will fail to carry weight with the
freemen of Tennessee, after the recent
crusade preached against ''Mr. Bell and
by our modest neighbor-
IS well through an anonymous pamphlet
ssued from his office and extensively \
circulated throughout the State, as
through the Union-and it is not to be
lened that by his repeated declarations
lgainst the dark sin of AbolitiOnism, he
las deprived himself of all sympathy in
lis own case.
