HUMBUG AND HYPOCRISY-SYMPAT
BETWEEN THE GLOBE, THE DEMO
GRATIS AND THE "ABOLITIONlSTS."
The Globe so frequently and SO impudent-
" attempts to identify some portions Of the
opposition party with the Abolitionists, that
we shall be excused for copying from the
Pennsylvania Freeman, an organ Of the Abo-
litionists, an indignant disclaimer Of any such
connection. The Aboliiionists, in justice TO
truth. are compelled to deny the allegations Of
the Globe, and admit that their sympathies
and successes, as will appear by looking into
Congress are quite on the other side
The Freeman says:
Talk Of Wing alliance with Abolitionism in the
Easl! Let the editor of the Globe z, into the
Halls OF Congress and ask HESRY WILLIAMS, Hde-
mocratic" member Of the Massachusetts delegation,
how he succeeded in getting there. He will be told
that The Democratic member owes his seat solely 10
The circumstances Of his having made longer and
louder professions Of Aboitonis than even Nathaniel
b Borden, his Wing opponent, and member of the
Ant-Savery Society. Let him inlerrogale ISAAC
FLErHER and JOHN SHTu, of Vermont the only
Democrats from that s ate, and they will tell him
that they are solely BY rlriHe of their anti slarery
pledges. Let him read the anil-slavery letter OF
BRAnsoaD SUMNER, the Democratic" candidate for
Congress at the last election, In Suffolk (MaSs.)
District Let him read the anti slavery letters OF the
democratic" candidates for the Senate Of Massa-
chuse,ts. Let him ask Robert B. Cranston, a Wing
pro-slavery representative from Rhode Island, who
y was whom the Democrats" of that State placed
IN IN opposition TO him at the late election Thomas
w. DoaR one of the managers of the Rhode Island
AniSlavery Society
The assertion of the Globe that Judge Morton was
s4d hu hsA ulpla -
Massachusetts, is utterly false. Judge M TO our Ger
tain knowledge, has been the candidate or he treat

Years He was an active and vigilant member Of
Congress in 1919 and 90 and during that period he
exerled himself to prevent the introduction of Mis-
souri, as slave State, into the uniun. To his labors
there he alludes In his excellent letter To his aboi-
tion friend Morton Eddy, Esq, published last year
mat letter was universally regarded as satisfactory
by the aboionists of the State; and on being again
questioned, ne very properly refers to it, as a full
and emphatic a&4wal OF his principles and feelings
The Richmond Enquirer, on the publication Of this
euer KEEP. silence until after The election, and then
declared that IL reprobated lie doctrtnes of Morton on
thc SUBJECT" (Slavery) The Globe editor knew all
ms; and yet he endeavors TO produce the impress
sion that Judge Morton was the an,iaboition candi-
dale.
We are not surprised that the Abolitionists
trown upon the attempts Of the Globe to
create a schism between them and the de-
mocratic' party, to whom they are allied by
sympathy, and upon whom their hopes very
much depend.
