although the Wigs call it one of those
modern democratlc Innovations which

acquired III their great struggle for free-

Records of town in Massachusetts, ,as
entered in 1885,
"You are to consider the confedera-

the people o. the South iiye You can yet
escape # you will onl y--sole-.l of---sla,sia
Han-Baren tlgll
= s . fact, that this villinous. talented,
crazy fool has made an appeal 70 the South
no less terrible or exciting than We have dea-
cribed. He swears most vehemensly that
the Southern.msmbers Of Congress have be-
sraved the SousN into the hands Of The Abo.
iitionisls Of the North. They have already
sold US; and there is now but 4 single remedy
but single avenue Of escape from the
most dreadful Of all scenes Of horror and
death which will inevitable fall. and speedily
4alIupon US, and that is vose--tor- Pan
Burena!.
He says that there is or was whig CONE
mittee Of members Of Congress consisting Of
nine persons who, ell signed a letterto some
other committee, Whick Is PROOF pOsitive Of q
Conspiracy That three Of those persons are
abolitionists, and that thai prOves conclusiveEy
that the South is betrayed in the manner
stated, and that all bis horrible forebodings
are but TOO well founded.
And he produces the proof Of his declara-
tions by showing that these three men are
sbolisionists. Two Of them believe-First,
that Congress has The constitutional right to
abolish slavery in the District Of Columbia.
Second, that Congress has the right to pre-
ven. new States from coming into the Union
with the sanction Of slavery in her constitu-
ton. Both of which opinions are expressly
ana distinctly tie opipions ef-Marlin Van
Burena! So that the great Amos has '.pro-
ged'' Martin Van Buren, to be pledged
abOlitioufsl''!.! And in regard to the aboli-
ton opinions of the other Objectionable nem-
Der Of the "committee", they are still more
at variance with the rights Of The South than
the two first.
These are the facts as stated by Amos in
his almost breathless and hurried appeal to
which we allnde. Il is in the form Of al
letter addressed to the Honorable John M.
Bots, Of Virginia, one of the committees 2
published in pamphlet form and strewed all
over the country under the frank of the Hon.
Jacob Thompson.
But how the danger, which is thus depic-
ted, is to be remidied by voting for Van Bu-
rem, we certainly cannot devine. The proof
of the betrayal Of the South is, that Southern
members of Congress act on ''whig COM
mittee' with abolitiOnists; and the proof that
they are abolitionists (three of theml is, that
two of them entertain opinions relative to
the institutions of the South sOhich are no
tOriOusly Me opinions Of .alr. Van BureH, and
the other one is yet worse. There is kind
of logic here that we do not understand;
but true it is, that il is thus put forth by this
incendry fool, in the vain hope of quilting
such people as live in this country.
We cantell this snaniac babbler that ifthere
be the remotest apprehension of such dam
ger as BE aIiudes to, the people Of the South
are taking the most certain and effectual
to prevent the possibility of ilsioc-
currence, by voting for the man whois pIedg-
ed to blast the first and last hopes Of all those
who could possibly give it aid or counten-
ance.
