CONSPIRACY OF THE BLACK coCKADE FEDERALisTs.
The finale ofthe plot of the taco.aeed Federalism of
the present day, (as given IN the article copied below
from the Albany Argus IS another lessonto low cum
ming Its momentary only atttacts attention,
TO render its ultimate defeat the marked and dis
graceful Tie Northern wing of Harrisons troops in
the New York Legislature have been forced at last by
the Abotonsts by direct vote, to oppose themselves,
as a party, to the rights ofthe South.
Mr. Kings resolution forced through by the Federal
majority at Albany, under the pretence OF defending
the RIGHT of petition part of the game conyed at
Washington BY Janus-laced Federalism, holding ITS
nightly caucuses under the direction OF Mr. Clay; and
they would willingly have made this new issue, Tor
which Mr.. Cost Johnson resolution was the precxt,
The turning point of the strength But the vote on Nr
Manns resolution shows that they obliged TO Sc
cure Abolition support in effect to give in adhesion 10
the antl-Slavery creed.
Mr. Cosr JomSsoS's rule against receiving petitions,
was intended at first TO give the Harrison Fcdcrasts
of the South the credit there Of being more ultra Abo-
lition than the Democrats. Ii expected that the
Northern Democrats would vote against it, because
it was known that they preferred rejecting the petI-
tons BY voting them down. and mailing them I" the Ia
bic, rather than Inte!ccpng and excluding them from
this direct decision Ii the whole Northern Dcmocra-
cy had voted against Mr. G.. Johnson mode of cJcc
ton would have been lost and then they would have
been denounced at the South abandoning the cause
of their Southern friends, the Constitutional! guar
antce which united the States together In the eX-
pectaon that his proposition would fall Mr. e. dccar-
ed in advance that he would in that event, vote for
ceivng and referring the Abolition petitions; and
luton to that effect previously presented by Mr.
Chinn o? LA Ken.uckan, and friend Of Mr.. Clay
and his fellow lodger and associate. portion OF
the Northern Democracy determined to foil this al
tempt gain power in the South 10y harsh mode OF
rejecting Abolition petitions and then Of proptat!ng
the Abolitionsts, by voting receive and refer and
report upon them The Cost Johnson rule being adopt
ed by the votes of twenty five Northern Democrats the
aferplot enacted al Albany became necessary. Rufus
Kinrs true booded black cockade progeny, the in
the Dartmoor Journal, and the other in the House OF
Representatives of y. York, followed up the party de-
sim begun at Washington and assumed that the mea-
sure which their own Southern Federal friends had in
troduced with the connvance of the Northern end OF the
party was an attack the right Of petition, and under
that prctcxt, denounced The Northern Democrats who
had voted for it vioa,oTs OF the Constitution. They
prescribed in the resolutions By designation rs men
who oupl; 10 be hunted out oic halls al Congress 10y

and yet syllable breathcd against those who
originated the antagonist mcasurc-thc sworn friends
Of the Kings and Federalism in the Harrison crusade
against the Democracy of the Union, The majority
even rejected amendment, barely naming Mcssrs.
Waddy Thompson and Cost Johnson the authors
of the rule condemned being voted for by Demo-
Gratis.
This is striking instance TO show how Northern and
=. ~ ,,gl,, Lapl
The contrariecs which appear in the action of this
double dealing party all receivable into one leading
stroke of policy 1t is TO overthrow the Democra
cy or the Norih-thc indispensable support of the Re-
pubcanism and State Rights principle of the Jetier-
sonian creed-throurh appeals and sacrifices TO the
Abolition feeling And while counting this wild i'm
pulse the old enemies of nsttutions-thc leading
"Reminiscences anxousiy impress on their friends IN
the South the idea that they will not lend themselves
the small party from which they hope success fur
thcr than to crush the Democracy of the North They
do not hesitate to tell Gen. Waddy Thompson, an pri
rate that the " ABoLITIONIsTs Az INFAMOUS FAC
T,oS''-that they are ''CoNTEMPrIRLE, AND OUGHT TO
EE PUT Dowx. Gen. Thompson states this fact IN
their presence, the floor of the House, to satisfy has
Southern friends, and the Federal Abolit!onsts all ad-
nit the fact by their silence except Mr.. Gates, who
tells Gen. Thompson that he is not TO be numbered
"amons those around him who have borne this tcsti-
monr against :hcr Abolition constituents
Another proof the readiness theSe Federal consp
alarm arising from their political association with Abo
li;ionsts at home, given in their bringing forward
and supporting, their candidate for Speaker OF the
House, Mr.. Dawson of Georgia, who has distinguished
himself much as General Waddy Thompson, for VI
client antipathy Qcigncd rea) TO the Northern IA
natics MIR. Dawson, notwithstanding the sava5eness
of his feelings towards the Abolition constituents OF the
Federal members in Congress, received all their votes
save that Of the Mr. Gates who denied his coun-
tenance to General Thompson anathema pronounced
of (,rnnUpr Peck Fillmore and other
Fedcrasts, against the character OF the Abol!tionIss,
as party.
Another decisive proof of the trcacherous and dan
gerous designs Of the old enemies of our institutions,
Will be in the deceitful course OF John Quincy
Adams. This sinister and veteran politician declares
in the House that lie is opposed TO Abolition, an toto
opposed to the enfranchiscnicnt Of the slaves in the
Dstric; OF Columbia, and only presents the petitions
essential TO the right of petition He addresses this
TO the nation 10 disarm the patriotism which would raj
" round the Constitution IN preserve the Union But
what does he tell his immediate constituents III his let
ter Of the eth October, le}S, accepting his nomina-
ton to Congress
lie tells them as Mr. Peck did, not long since that
those districts represented by Democrats who support
the rights guaranteed 10 the Southern States By the
Constitution representa- by shares, and that
long they choose such, ''TuEY sEEviLrY
ENOUGH TO REPRESENT AND BLTRAY THEM.
He dcnounces the support pledged by MIR. Van Bu-
rem to the compromises OF the Constitution, as "NoEru-
ERS srRsERvIEscy TO SOUTHERN DrcTATIos'-as t'ruE
PRICE NORTHERN ADMINISTRATIONS FOR
SouTuERS SUPPORT.
He tells them that at IS Impossible that the state of
things now existing which he calls "a TOTAL suBrER-
SION OF EVERY PRINCIPLE OF LIBERTY, SHOULD MUCH
LONGER SUBMITTED PEOPLE HE FREE
STATES OF THIS UNION.
He tells them that ''rnE UNIoS WILL FALL BEFORE
1T, BEFORE THE UNIoT.
The meaning of this brielsentence is that the ques-
ton fsavery will destroy the Union and the Govern
men under it in this way, that consolidation will
swallow up the Union, and slavery thus fall before it.
But we annex below the whole passage to which we
refer and proceed now to show the TO which
it has given birth among the Abotonists under the
guidance of Federal schcmcrs 1t cannot escape obser
walton that the Aboltioniss themselves secuted the
suits, which they taught 10 bring forward the
ultimate scope of their agitation.
We find, in a recent number of the organ of the y.
York Antslavery Society, resolutions adopted by the
Antslavery Society Of n. Jersey, the first of which,
adopted unanimously, is as follows
