"ANorHEa ABOLITION NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
In mentioning The result of the late election for
Congress in Mr.. Parmcnter's district. where the
choice was prevented By abolition votes, several
Of the Federal papers, and among them that mod

that great part Of the abolition votes were
thrown for James T. Woodbury., brother of the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
I'VE regard TINS transaction upon tie facts
which have been communicated to US, as one of
I the most palpable Illustrations Of the intrgues
and management Of whrery ard abotionism
that we have heard Of. While they unite in OPP
posing the Administration on account of the ur.
hinching support il accords to the rights of pro-
Pefty guaranteed by the Constitution of the Uni.
ted States, they hare sought out the name of
person who is the brother to a member of the Ad-
political life to be totally opposed to their dis0r-
gdaitiHg schemes, and this brother clergyman,
settled IN an obscure PARIS, and have cast enough
OF their votes for him, u8doubte3lu against his
consent for the double purpose of defeating
an election, and at the same time, affording some
possible ground for suspicion and prejudice
against the sincerity Of the Administration This
scheme, in refinement, even exceeds the Joint
management Of the abolition wings in New York,
aud may afford beneficial lesson to the Public. y
