THE UNHOLY ALLlANCE-FACTS FOR SOUTHERN

MEN,
The old Hartford Convention men, the Abolton'sts
and the Wing party, headed by Daniel Webster, have
formed complete anna gamatlon, and are now as a
unit.
1t is worth while TO mark the close connection ex
listing between the pubic resolves, past and present.
of these parties and to notice the harmony which binds
together their proposed measures OF change, as they
term It, reform
The Hartford Convention recommended to the peo-
pie of New England, among other acts, an amendment
Of that part of the Constitution of the United States
which relates to the apportonment of representation
among the savehoding States and held this spec'ous
language

Such was the language OF that meeting in relation 10
the Southern States openly denying their constitution
al rights Let US the chain along somewhat far
ther: At meeting OF Federasts i'll Faneul Hall, in
Boston, in lSl6, Mr.. Webster, the now Harrison cham
pion, followed up this prominent object of the Hartford
Convention, and reported resolutions declaring TO be
.c duty IF Congress 10 abolish the transfer OF SldreS
from one State 10 anGther.
This report was afterwards referred to orthodox,
and made the basis OF report in the Massachusetts,
Wing Senate recently 1888; and the same resolves
as recommended BY Mr.. Webster passed,
urrtng on C0ngreSS 10 iaterdct Mc transfer Of StaUcS
Gtnten the SateS; and this action in that Senate was
brought on by the petition Of Judge Oliver b. Morris,
the confidential Harrison Abolition Correspondent Of
Mr.. WIN. L. Calhoun. 1t will be observed that this
same Calhoun together with Evans Gates and others,
are all AbolitIoniss and Wings and hea ed By Daniel
Webster, trying all means III their power by
every arthce and strata -em, 10 overthrow Mr. Van
Buren, and elect Gen HARRISON whom they call their
standard bearer, in his place. 1t seems that Mr..
Webster trying to escape from the odum of the Hart
ford Convention but the above facts will nail him and
his political sins together.
Let us now turn our eyes across the Atlantic, and
what aid and what prejudlces have been invoked
there To this conirderacd party of Wings and Aboi'-
tonists; and how the language of the Abolition
Society in England corresponds with that of the Da-
mel Webster Harrison party here.
AT meeting ofthc "World's Convention so called,
in London in August last, which continued in ses-
sion twelve days, and 10 which there goodly re-
presentation of Abotonsts from this country, two
solutions passed, the in spirit those first
proclaimed the Hartford Convention and afterwards
adopted by the Wing Senate of Massachusetts two
years ago. In abiding to proceedings in Congress
urging upon Government to resist the principle on
which the British nation refuse indemnity for the slaves
driven by stress of weather into Bermuda, and there
liberated while going from one Southern port to ano-
ther, that Convention says:
ThiS the rs, attempt known in the history of
the pretensions Of shareholders into riga&'
Mark the word. Declaring also their adherence
that slavery should be protected by this Government,
and that the rem0rdi Of SiareS fran the oid to the
States unrshteous act and that efiectual means
ought to be taken to put an end 10 the practice.
Here the very ideas, almost the same language,
verbatim, that used by the Hartford Convention, by
Websers party of Federaliss, and by the Massachu.
sets Wing Senate and here clear of identity
between them and the Harrison party which is all now
and the same thng-and all arrayed against the
Democracy of this country. Surely if our Southern
friends do these things proper light it is not
not for the want of facts to enable them TO do If,
therefore, they vote for Gen Harrison with clear
conscience, let them do ID.
