his communication would have met with
the expressed censnre Of the Convention.
But .General" John II. Cooke, President
of the American Temperance Union, the
owsaer, with his son, of one thousand and
one hundred slapes, may send his fulmina-
tons against Anti Slavery into National
Temperance Convention, thro' the mouth
Of the acting Chairman, and the matter be
passed off in silence, into oblivion, as if
nothing had happened or lranspired!
If i: be asked why notice was not taken
| Of such transaction, by the Convention,
can only answer that presume abolition
lists present-and they were not few
feared no evil to their cause from such an
attack. and they did not care to show them
selves sensitive when they were not harmed.
For my own part, inasmuch as the disturber
himself was absent, chose to use my own
means of dealing with him, rather than
excite the Convention and consume their
time. If he had been present in person,
and bad read such paragraph for himself
the matter would not have passed off as il
did. Why the opponents of Anti-SlaVery
If there were such in the Convention,
and suppose there were-sufered such an
outrage upon its friends, to SO unnoticed
they can best answer for themselves. Te
me, it was an exhibition of magnanimity
fortitude and forbearance, on the part o
abolitionists, and of subserviency to slavery
on the part of others.

mind of this wholesale STAKEHOLDER. Moth

his conscience, in relation to his enormous
sin, or his struggling agains, the truth, coult

slavery by "hard names" If he will no

think sincerely about abandoning it, an

4. His inconsistency. The same prin
ciples which he applies for the extermins
ton of drinking and drunkenness, are equal
ly applicable to slavery, for its overthrow

of all the social interests? Does it degrad

Anti-AboIition Thrown into the National
Temperance Convention.
1t will be recollected that allusion was
made, in the proceedings of the National
Temperance Convention last week, to the
reading of a manuscript address sent on by
the President of the American Temperance
Union, John HI. Cooke, of Virginia. The
address contained the following entire par
agraph, to which annex few remark s:

reform under another aspect. | mean lis

our slave population Of the Southern States.
Like the blessed gospel il is suited to all

IN this assembly, everything connected with
the moral elevation of this much neglected
race, can not fail TO be interesting. there

process, but for the illjudged measures of
ultra abolitionists. God in his providence
will sooner or later indicate the course by
which this curse shall be removed from our
land. Till then we must be conten,ed 10
perform the part assigned to our day and
generation, of preparing for the mighty
change, by not "despising the day of small

General J1tIfcn

The letter which was recently published in the
Wing from this unfortunate old gentleman, in r.ply
TO an invitation to the dinner given to Gov Polk,
has doubtless attracted the attention OF our readers
Any one familiar with General Jackson's peculiar
style, when he wrote in his own proper person, es
peclally, If aware that the old Hero is now on the
verge Of the grave, and that 10 subscribe his name
must be great physical effort, must be convinced
that there is a clique around him, who mould his
letters to suit their own purposes, regardless Of the
honor or consistency Of the venerable dotaTd, who
is under their control. The letter we refer to pre-.
sents ineontesiibIe evidence Of this influence. The
Genera is made TO denounee the Land Distribution
Bill as palpably unauthorized and unconstitutional,
and yet, IN his message Of 1882 he uses the follow
ing language, as quoted by MIR Rivesi
at is in the discretion Of Congress to dispose Of
them (the pnblie ands) as best to eondueo to the
quiet, harmony, and general interests Of the Amer.
lean people.n
IL Is tue, that when Congress in the exercise Of
the discretion which the General so gracously
vouchssled to them, passed a Bill TO distribute
the proceeds he, IN the penttude Of his power in
terposed his veto,-but il is worthy Of remark that
not syllable did he breathe respecting the uncon.
sutuilonaiity Of the measure. His objections were
altogether to the details Of the bill, and strange Ia
tell, rested principally upon the additional II pei
cent, conceded to the new States, which no pre-.
tended 10 think was unjus, TO the old thirteen.
And now, in the face Of the recorded history o.
his official opinions when President ofthe u. States
We find tho Polk faction in Tennessee, 90 regard
less Of their IDOLS reputation to forge sentimenu
for him which he never entertained, and to pu
words into his mouth, which, but that ho is sunk in
10 the decrePiIude Of doags, he would spit into lbe
hypocrilIeal faces.
What a contemplate farce is thus attempted u
be played upon the American Peoplel-Por In,
purpose ofinauencing few eredulous fools. Thel
expose the old man u continued derision and con
tempt, iorgeduI that II even there vas toundns,
and consistency in the opinions which are manu-
featured for him, the time has passed by when Their
was onY magic in his name, or any, the slightest, re
spsct felt for his sentiments.
