We months ago. stated that the resut Of the late elec
lions in The Northern States, could mol iai 70 nave an
important bearing upon the feelings OF The people OF he
Southern States, in relation To The great suoect Whcn
Affects TO SO great extent, their own interests ana
welfare As every intelligent person at the outset sup
posed Abullionism became political The leaders OF
That dark crusade against the domestic institutions OF The
South being in the main Federas,s the political ntu
ence of Abolionsm turned into the scale OF FEEDER
alism This fact has been constantly proclaimed by
nearly the united Democratic press OF The North but
for effect the South, il has been as Justify denied
by our Federal opponents. Notwithstanding the dis
chalmers of the Federal organs, the alliance between
Federalism and Abolilionsm has been complete in al
most all the recent elections at The North In this
State, New York, and some others, IN 1885, the Ado
Itonsts openly leagued with the FedeTalsts Yet, IN
the face OF these facts the Federal press Of the Union
have constantly attempted TO impose upon the people OF
The South the belief that the Democracy of the North
was as much tainted with nbotonism The Federal
party Blu, the par, Of the Democracy the issue was
distinctly rendered by The resolutions OF Mr.. Atherton

and Aboi,ionlsm was complete. -lhey went together
The POLLS voted for the same candidates generally,
The principles contained in the resolutions OF Mr.
sustained by triumphant majority OF treemen IN
almost every Northern State In view OF this result we
had right 10 call upon Southern brethren, and de
mand Of them to exempt the Democracy OF the North
from any connection with the unconstitutional and dan
gerous projects Of the Abolons,s. We had light to
demand Of them 10 upon the Federal party Of the North
slthe wrong and guilt, and nquity of encouraging The
aboliiioniss in their mad schemes Of dsunon and civil
war-and emphatcaly, nobly have they done it.
