forget that slavery il interviewer with our
institutions, and that whatsoever party |
strikes at il, directly or indirectly aims an
assussins blow at our very vitals.
We do not charge our wing friends in
the South with countenancing, aiding, or
abelling Aboliiionism, directly and dciib-
erdiely. What we complain Of ~ that
they do not reflect upon the consequences
Of their associations that they yield TO
their violent opposition TO the Administra.
ton, what no considerations could induce
them to yield, were they not blinded By
passion and prejudice.
The Wing candidate for the Presden-
cy is charged with being Aboliiionis'
To sustain this charge, many facts are
produced. But we are not, at present,
about TO argue that these facts show con.
clusirely, that he is an Abolitionisf. II rs
true Gen. Harrison says that, she become
a member Of an Abolition Society, estab
Iished at Richmond, the object Of which
was TO ameliorate the condition OF the
slaves, and procure their freedom BY every
legal means" It is true he has said that
"it has long been an object near my heart

ments Of an opposite character at various
times.
The real objection to his course on this
all.important subject, consists in his real
lance with PoLlTIcAL ABoLrTIoNIsrs aud
his recent "silens policy" upon the subject
We took occasion no, long ago, TO show
that Gen. Harrison was nominated by a
coalition of Northern Wings and Adolf
tioniSts-tha, had it not been for this Goa.
hton, Mr.. Clay would have been nomi-
mated, and that the AboIitionists by unit
ing with the Northern Wings and ayailing
themselves Of the healed party feelings OF
the Southern Wings, succeeded in dra
gooning the latter into their measures.
Should this Coalition succeed in elect
ing Gen. Harrison, the Aboli,ionis,s will
accomplish what has lohg been darling

into power, which will be dependent upon
them for their political existence. They
will then demand PAY for the assistance

1t is IN this point Of view that the wings

own ruin. They are eager 10 put down
