~ William G. Preston is one on this
question. A Virginian by birth, South
Carollnian by adoption, STAKEHOLDER, he
bore his unequivocal testimony to the hon.
est and devoted opinions of the Massachu-
sets Senator and his friends on this ques-
ton OF vital interest to the South.
Mr.. Preston ridiculed, with surprising
effect, the wretched pretence that the par
ty with which he and the friends around
him were associated was leagued with alb
olltlonlsts! Who dare assert it? None
but the Infamous calumniators of those
who would at any time drain their dearest
veins in defence of the established institu-
lions of the country And then the idea
OF resortlng TO a Northern man with
Southern principles TO save the country
from the danger Of Southern man with
Southern principles To whom do they
| t1y from Harrison, son Of signer of
the Declaration OF independence They
60 beyond the Hudson-they get friend
of r fus King-a Missouri Restriction
ist-a friend and advocate of Free Negro
Suffrage!
Mr.. Phelps, Senator f,om Vermont
corroborated the testimony which had
been giveE respecting the sound consitu-
tional opinions and conservative senti-
ments of the Northern people in regard
10 the question of abolition.
| DR.. Bailey of the Ohio Philanihropist,
comments as follows upon the foregoing !:
Now, is any one so blind as not to see,
that the bond of this union between the
Wings of the North and of the South, is
hostility to Abolition? Death to Adolf
tion,' is as legibly engraved on the COM
pact which binds them, as it was on that
blade which the Southerner carried about
with him as the symbol Of his vengelul
feeling towards the Aboltiorists. We
appeal to Wing Abolitionsts -can you
bear all this! You are sold-you are
trampled on. Your easy creduity, your
zeal against a diabolical administration
have put you into the power of men who
} have sworn union UNDER the PROSTATE
l form of bleeding humanity. ln the name
? Of Heaven, what have you to expect iron
an administration rolled in.o power on the
car of slavery! Our own mind is fully
$ made up. These last demonstrations, tn,
5 recent speech of General Harrison at Co
: lumbus, and his late letter to some gentle
: man in Kentucky, openly and emphatic

e speeches, as they respect abolition, hav
d fixed the conviction deep in our hearts, to-
e strong to be shaken by anything save al
! open recantaton on the part of the lead
a ers of the whig party, that the countr,
will be no gamer by its success Il

convictions of our soul we must utter

,,h wont of some of the most disreputa
