,euce that some poor devil ola Wing Editor il
Massachusetts or Connecticut had declared FOL
Abolition, and the illogical conclusion attemp

thereof was, that, as Wig Editor Of MaSsa

AbolitioaistS also. III b contempt which al
honorable men Of both parties felt, in conse
quence Of such barelaced attacks upon the
character and integrity OF their fellow citizens
was insufficient, of itself, TO silence for time
this senseless clomor Of political demagogues
whose only merit consisted in yuIg gar abuse, and
a ready porversion of facts. For th5 accom-.
plishment of their purposes, and the cfati6ca
ton Of their selfsh'ends, this class of politicians
Notwithstanding that they were lrowned upon
by the community, continued this species OF
of political warfare until NeIy, when, acting

this cessation of hostilitos? Is the league dis,
solved by which they were bound to the sup
port Of degraded cause? Or, have our oppo
nents in exercising the keen-eyed vigilance of
"the hundred eyed Argus" unfortunately for
themselves discovered that some Of the a0arm
supporters of Nr. Van Buren, are actively enga-
ged in this uahoiy crusade dgainStthe existence Of
Slavery IN The South? 1t must be that they
have either become satisfied ofthe Improperly
OF their former course, or that they have lately
been enlightened upon this subject, and have
learned, too late, that portion of their polite
al associates in support of the Van Buren, cause,
at the North, are deeply dyed with the sin Of
Aboition.!! How otherwise can their forbear-
ance be accounted tor? Probably the late i'm
portation into the State of Tennessee, of the
Editor OF the New Bedford, Massachusetts,,
Gazette may furnish us with solution Of the
difficulty. 1t must be so. We can account for
t in no other way. Well may they shrink
rom the position which they have occupied
when this outrage upon the Southern people is
PRESENTED to their notice. To support the cleo.
ion Of Mr. Van Buren,, this thorough bred Alb.
'Iitlonist, formerly the Editor of a paper in
Massachusetts,, that openly advocated the cause
f Abolition, has located himself in the State
f Tennessee, and is now engaged in dissemina-
ing through the Nashville Union, 'he pure
Principles Of Democracym cause sustained
y such an instrument must come to naught
nd when a connection between the NulIifers
nd The Abolitonisls is again proclaimed, let
he presumPtuous propagation otso infamous
lander remember his New Bedford associate,
nd blush for his degeneracy. For our own
art, we scorn the use Of such an argument to
roP the cause which we advocate. We look |
pom all men, Of all parties, in orr State, as op-
osed to that fanatica spirit which is calcula-
ed, in its progress, to create a bloody strife |
etweeu the members ofths great contederacy i
nd we shall avoid charging upon them sin,
fso unholy character, against the country
which gave them birth, and the soil which nour-
shed and supported them.
