it; could not go for all anti abolitionist without
annihilaiing itself as a party. These things

! spoke in 1893 the year 1910 has confirmed.
The Abolitionists then are in the field, ruling,
though not the strongest, wing Of the OPpo-
sition; and. presuming that none of hat par.
tv is here, and that may speak freely with
out giving offence to any, | will ask who are
the abolitionists?-what are their designs
and what will be the consequences OF their
victory in the Presidential election' Who
are they? fanatics Of Europe an America.
who, in their mad passion for tie black race.
have forgo, their duty TO the white race!-
who, in their blind zeal to burst the bonds Of
the slave, are ready to burst the bonds of this
Union! who, in their dismal perspective OF
slave emancipation, a'e ready to involve the
one has-of these fair States in the horrors
of a San Domingo Instruction! Who has
read Of that Instruction, and Of a populous
city of sixty thousand souls, and the whole
population Of a rich and happy Island, rous-
ed from their slumbers in the dead hour of
one fatal night. to see their city in fumes
TO see the whole island one blaze of fire-the
father and the son TO be massacred as they
fled from the inliagration-the babe TO be
stabbed in the view of the molher-the moth

more dreadful than death, and TO be followed
by death.
Who made that Instruction? The Adolf

language of Burke, with religion in their

publications, by their emissaries, by their
money, by their zeal for the black, and their
contempt for the white race. They made it.

They made it. andnot only the inSurrection

say the lines are hard. that the democratic
administration is the cause. and the remedy
is a change of administration, and the es-
adjustment OF Il national bank. The Demo-

truth stand! Are the times hard? Did the
Administration cause them? Will national

which, happily, every citizen can answer for

In such places political banks and politicians
