"Agan presume to address you from this point,
touching the nsidous movements of that party whose
bold and shameless amalganlaon with the Federal ca
bal now in the ascendant, seems to te every where
openly avowed-to remind you, once more, oil the ac-
cumulating evidences of that certain ooMBISATIoS-l
that real COMPREHENSIVE, the articles OF which were
duly executed at the llARRisBURG CoNyFSTioS.-t
Some among the Harrison followers have pTotcsSed to
discredrt the mputaton cast upon the Wing party OF
having col'uded with the wild fanatics of the North in
settled resolution to put down slavery in the South
Even here III Ohio where tannticsm rs crazy and
dcudcd pointed the poniard to the yials
Of its victims in the darkest dungeons OF Maho
metan bigotry, and where every hour IS filled with
the damnng proofs of the positive existence Of an
alliance between Whiggery and Aboiitionsm IN It's
most haggard FORMS has been resolutcy and stontly
asserted BY who supported the Federal ticket
that there combination, no arrangement no un-
derstandng, pre-e1sting TO soace or strengthen the
fession and the practice stand together How are the
proofs What are the facts We not sent abroad
for the evdence-Drvcn to no point OF the compass be-
yond the hounds of State which may well be demo-
minated the mother Of the Vest, we will open the TRIAL
CALENDAR here. 1t has been asserted and proved tnat
Mr. CoRwIS the Governor elect soul, III heart, IN
feeling, Abolltlonst and that he has gone as lar as
the INSCRIPTIONS professors OF tie modern fanatic
creed attestng his love and attachment to the negro
race Next, il has been shewn that HAERisoS must
have received from 10000 to $1,000 Abolition votes III
Ohio.
"The proof has also been clear, that many Of the
aiding and most prominent Wings recently returned
to the General Assembly, Of the real rcd mouth,
blue belly stamp, elected by as anaca as unprin
pied, and reckless as themselyes-And now for the
proof POSITIVE. Let US open up the BUDGET.
The Legislature of this State convened here this morn
ing. Sedby Ford, puny, whining, narrow, contracted
ABolTIoNlsr, from the Western Reserve-an open,
avowed enemy of the South and of Southern rights;
he who would strip the last shirt from the best white
man S back South of Mason y Dixon line, and sell
il for funds TO push runaway slave into Canada, was
elected Speaker Of the Houss the first ballot; crcry
solitary HhiS, as Itearn eotng for HIM Ford has
made himself conspicuous in the Legislature as most
biggotted trfng, penny-soued advocate and friend OF
the slave, and the nveerats, mplacabie enemy Of Inc
entire South This fully exhibited in MS rude and
envenoned assault upon the FUGITIVE ELL, two years
snce-tha, ELL which finally carried By the firm
and uncompromising Democracy Of oar General AS

every where urging his claims upon the party for the
Office. About forty others were On the ground, but
none yociierous, rcsolu,e, so uncompromSing IN
his Boar. lie opened his entire budget
Of nrevances-told Of his arduous labors-how he had
been egged in place, and stoned in another-how
he had been sneered at and ridculed in town, and
laughed at and spit upon in anoherthat he had made
$40 speeches-had revolutionzed Pennsyyania, and
saved Ohio-had been the associate OF Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, and VIM. &. Rives and now, when
an applicant for contemplate little appointment, TO
earn few crumbs for his poor family, to be Shored
aside for those who had sumbered while be stretch
ing forth his in his country cause almost too
severe a calamity for christian 10 bear He could
Bear persecution smell rotten eggs, rub off the Spit
and encounter any contumely but delYcr him from
the neglect and ingratltude Of those who should be his
friendS. Well tins kind Of eloquencc should certain
ly have met with better Ii should have dis
armed the bterest foe Of the malice that would sting
lis victim but the Wings Of Ohio have done with
their "Buckem orator. "Poor old horse, let him die.
Charging upon him that his originally WIT,
and not Bear was not enough-they would imputc DIS
honesty to him, by insinuang that he had changed
his name; and Notwithstanding the serious denial OF
all these things, and the contemplate rebuke given
By Bear, that his real name 1eas Bear, and that
all the little Gears Bears, he has actually
been given the so.by. Poor Bear only received some
three four votesbut he is yet here, determined to
confront his accuscrs face face, until they shall feel
the full weight Of that Standardization with which
conscious guilt always visits its victims. But am rl-
fling with subject which is clothed with too much Sc
ronsness for jest. Gladly would awaken our friends
Of the South 10 the lurking dangers that threaten their
Institutions Let them open their eyes to the accumu-
lang evidences of that fearful combination which seeks
their fall.
"They cannot long struggle against the truth Pal
pable clear ndisputabe is the fact, that Northern
fanaticsm sharpening the knife for its work ofbntche-
~. A false philanthropy is taught as the true chris
tan creed. The guilty instruments OF disunlon are
every where enkndling the fires of dScord An inccn-
diary spirit that knows law, and acknowledges no
power Of punishment maturing its schemes OF reyo-
luton and plotting the ruin and desolaon that must
triumph upon your overthrow. And will the people Of
the South longer resist that postre testimony which
daily events rapidly unfolding: VIII they yet
apologize to Northern tanatIcsm for that "scetonat
feeling which they charitably denomlnue the harm
less indulgence of the hour, and still dIsbeeve the by
pocritical professions of men, who would, at single
blow, plunge u whole continent into servile war;
sSeriously, solemnly, let them take warning. They
yet sit beneath the bright sun of an AMERICAN USi-
oy-the tree Of liberty yet blooms DER their heads
stripes and stars yet adorn the proud ensign that floats
in the breezetbe ark Of the Constitution is still above
the wave, and HOPE fingers around it, proclaiming
that ALL is NOT LOST. 1T MAY YET BE
SAVED"
