Wuccrpy STILL ABoIIrIox.-Wc see il stated in
several Of tie Federal papers If Ohio, that Marcus
Norton the truly Republican Governor OF Niassachu

wealth. has answered uneqriv"cally III The GffFmdrt
to the questions whether he is in favor OF the nle
date abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia
and the slave trade between the several States I'd,
ward Everett now speaks the language OF patriot, a
republican and christian. We believe It IS the real
language of his soul. In opinion, he ought to re-
c"ve the undivided support Of The antravcry voters
of this Commonwealth nay, they have pledged to hun
their support nasmuch he has declared himself to
be in favor Of their principles and .trlr measures
But this is not all. The same mouil!-pccc OF Abo
tionism thus spoke of Judge Morton.
"Judse Morton's and Mr.. Wlss letters (say they
are very much alike: They give no lnlormaton they
do not the simplest of all possible questions, So
that plain man can tell what they mean. The vague
professions of Judge Morton amount to just nothing al

on If the Abnonists be satisfied with suc! un
meaning rcncralitis hcsr-that every effort con
s:scnt with moral duty and the Constitution and laws
of the Union ought TO be made 10 mitigate slavery,

with these empty declarations, we warn them, that The
politicians will never give them any thing else.
Now what was the result Just what it must be

the sacred desk into political sHmhcs, we're rou'rdhy
The stern voice Of !reemen, in Ill" election of Morton
and the defeat Of lhr Ahnlltrcn'st, Everett
