Since the formation OF parties this country, few
schemes have been concocicd showing more completely
the absorbing object OF Federal ain than their contcmpi
bic union with this party. Pu@rr and IFS patronage,
the love If o!cr and the aching desire for the emou
mrnts Of station, the moving springs of the unna

that the Abotonists have rushed to the support OF
the Harrison electoral ticket with zea bordering up

which filled the ballot boxes, and if the South las

by them an Abolition Jubilee No doubt thousands
of The Southern Wings hate and dread the fell spirit Of
