near my heart to the whole of its surplus reve-
nue. appropriated to that object With the sanction
Of the States boiling the slaves, there appears to
inc to be no constitutional objection to its being thus
applied; embracing, not only the colonization of
those that may be otherwise freed but the purchase
OF the freedom of others. BY jealous prUsecu-
| ton OF plan formed upon that basis, we might
look forward 10 day not very far distant, when
| North American sun would not look down upon a
slave 10 those who have rejected the plan of
colonization, | ask if they have we'll weighed the
consequences Of emancipation without it! How
| long would the emancpated negroes remain salts

then tthe negroes armed and orgnnized) be able to
resist their claims to participation in all their pO
lltical rights! Would it even stop there Would
they not claim adniltance to all the social rights
and privileges Of a community in which in sOmu
instances, they would compose the majority! Let
those who take pleasure in the contemplation Of
such scenes as must inevitably follow, finish out the
picture.
81 am correct in he principles here aduanced,
repeat mn assertion that the discussion oC The sub
Ject Of emancipation in The nou-slquehoding STATE,
is equally injurious 10 the SorcS and their naSterS
and that has no sanction an the principles Of ha
Constitution. Imust not be understood TO say that
there is any thing in that instrument which prohib-
its such discussion know there is not But the
man who believes that the claims which his fellow
citizens have upon him satisfied by udhcring to
the letter Of the political compact that connects
them, must have a very imperfect knowledge of the
principles upon which our glorious Union wa,
formed, and by which alone it eau be maintained"
What southern or western man, Mr.. Clay, Mr.
Preston, Waddy Thompson, or even Mr.. Calhoun
himself, is sOunder than Gen, Harrison, on TIN,
subject! Which Of all or any of them, has dcliv-
cred more powerful or eloquent arguments against
Abolition and in defence of the rights Of the South
in property of this kind, than has this most abused
and illuminated statesman!
But again--there are ten Abolition papers i'll the
United States-tO wit: The Ohio PmIanthropst,"
The Pittsburgh Witness" The Pennsylvania
Freeman" THE Connecticut Charter Oak" The
Utica Friend Of Man." The Michigan Freeman"
''The New Hampshire Advocate Of Freedom The
Vermont Voice Of Freedom" The Massachusett,
Abolitionist," and THE Boston Llbcrator," all OF
which earnestly and some of them bitterly, oppose
the election Of Gen. Harrison. Still, VIC perceive
that men are to be fuund-yes and Democratic
Central Committee men too, who pronounce him
AbolitOnist, who soemnly publish that he is the
candidate Of the abot!Onists, notwithstanding that
party are dcnouncing him in oil their papers, and
have nominated candidates Of their own, on the
avowed and only ground ofaboliton, and those nom
nees have accepted that nomination. In confrma-
ton Of this, refer YOU to the following extract
from the National Intelligencer Of the 2dth May,
1910.
