though he is every way qualified for the

disqualify him TO fll Federal office,

'There are continues the Islander, few
abolitionist in our ranks; but there are
many anti slavery men, and their number
is increasing with great rapidily. None
of us are inclined 10 medde with 'lhe pc.
ular institutons,' of the south; and the
number is remarkably small in our party
who are willing to give direct sanction
to slavery by voting for John G. Cal
houn.
As slavery is not a subject of Federal
jurisdiction, no man giAes direct sanction
to slavery, or, indeed any sanction, by vo-
ting for G. Calhoun. 1t is asubject with
which we of the North have politically nothing
to do. The South calls not on us to APP
prove offs domestic Institutions. It's wills
ling to leave US to our own judgment OF
them, and to approve or disapproye ofihem
as 10 us may seem best; but it objects 10

"We can bear great deal, " adds the
Islander, shut we do not like having slave
ry forced down our throats, aud that loo by
a man who should he foremost in advoca-
ting the opposite dociiine. Those men
who think that our next Presidential cleo.
ton will not be greatly Influenced in lis re-
suits by the above question, have made
but poor use of their opportunities for
observation. The most that the slave
holding interest can look to is 10 have the
Vice Presidency, and 10 think themselves
previously we'll treated if they can get that
in peace. We do not believe that after
Al, either party will dare TO put slave

the ignorance and bigotry fthal portion
of the country il which slavery prevails,
have not only heen borne with until for

The editor Of the Islander PROCESSES to
have no inclination ITO intermeddle with
the peculiar Institutions of the South"
Yet, in what abolitionists journal, can more
violent abuse of the South be found than
in, this very passage. Il is the very kind
of Language which prevents the arguments
Of the a6pliiionsls, supposing those argu-
ments TO have any force, from having any
foce, from having any effect in the South.
And, not cotennt with abuse, the editor Of
the Islander resorts to threats. "Afler "a,
neither party will dare to PIT slave-hol-
der in nomination for any great national
Office" Political Acknowledgement Is IA
IL the fate of every man in The South!
The friends oGSiate Rights are fnlly
aware that the feelings which the Nantuk-
ct lsladder has bitterly expressed, prevail
among the people of the North to the test
on this question. Ifthad ever been suP>
posed that the simple fact of mans being
a stakeholder, would be an insuperable OBJ:
stacle 10 his being nominated 70 any high
national Office, the compact between the
Northern ard Soutbern States would new
er have been entered into. How long the
Union will be likely to- continue, If this
feeling is made the ground of.political &C
lion, leave the editor ofsthe Nantucket
Islander to calculate.
My own views Of this subject must not
be misunderstood, stand simply Oh con-
grounds. From the union Of
