their firm "belief in the soundness and correctness OF
those old Republican doctrines of ,?S and 80, promnl-

- We intended some days since TO publish the
above, with some facts subjoined. For this purpose, we
had before US n Correspondence between Truman Smith
of Connecticut and some of the Abolitionists, which
took place just before his clcction-But MIR. Kendall,
in his second No. of the Extra Globe, has saved US all
the labor. lie has scathcd the "LOn. John Nj. Bolts
with the lash of scorpions. Mr.. X. proves, and from
their own letters, that not less than three of Mr.. Bolts
Executive Committee, "which is laboring night and day
to overthrow this Administration and make a Prcsi-
dent by Abolition votes, are picdged .7boiniOniSts -
These are Smith, Clark, and Saltonstall. Truman
Smith says expressly, that 'the words of the Constitu-
ton, &c, &c, are sufficiently broad TO clc,he that
body (Congress) with power to annihilate Should they
deem it expedienD this evil at the seat of Govern
ment"-and that he 'should dread the responsibility of
giving her (FlorIda) n place among the States of our
Union, when she presents herself, rs Arkansas did,
with a Constitution denying TO her Legislature the
power of Emancipation, and passing an irreversible sem
tence of bondage agalnsta helpless race Mr.. SaltOns-
tall claims the power TO abolish slavery in the District,
and to prohibit the slave trade between the States, and
he does not see why Congress should not exercise 10th
these powers 1rith0ut dciaH
And yet these are the men, with whom 4 Southern
Representative unitcs in an Executive Committee, 10
turn out Il President, TO whom Saltonstall objects that
che made the gratuitous declaration, in effect, that he
should veto any bill which had for lis object the aboli.
ton of slavery in The District of Columbia".
But why expatiate in this strain: We know. that
most of Mr.. V. BIS friends in Congress are our friends
and that most of the Wings Nortl, Of Mason and Dix.

what crowds they surrounded him in Philadelphia and

low as to harness themselves to the triumphal car, which
carried Gen. Harrison, and dragged him, like beasts of

they forgotten, with what hurrahs and honors they re-
ceived him at the Battery OF n. York, and how, amid
the FIRE of artillery, and "anidst the tumultuous cheer
