ABOLITIONISM AND WHIGGERY-COQuE
| TING.
We copy from the Pittsburg Daily Gazette, a
conpendous Embodiment of Wing principles
in regard TO the discussion and disposal OF the
| slave queston-and our readers cannot but per
ceiye the nsidous danger that attends their de-
velopment
The extraordinary letter of the extra-ordlna-
ry individual from Quincy, published during the
recess of Congress, revealed with rather prema-
ture and over jealous haste the intended opera
tons of the Wing campaign. lie, IN The OPP
probrio Is language only valuable TO himself, de-
nounced the President of the United States for
The opinions he has maintained in regard TO the
institution of slavery, and mathematical him
with servile fury for his attachment to right,
guaranteed by the Constitution, and sanclihed
by the potent influence OF time aud custom.
"a friend of Southern institutions filled The
| chair of state, and a foe to the lnaenable
rights of man" Such is the war-cry with
which the ancient fugleman of a discounted
party inspires his scattered followers with hopes
of victory.
The union of Whiggism and Aboltionism, if
once consummated, will promise other fruits
than the elevation Of one party, or the depres-
sion of another--wl be productive of other
consequences than the defeat Of a Southern
candidate, and the advancement Of one less OBJ,
noxious as he is less committed on the subject.
The first step towards the accomplishment Of
their designs the realization of a darling pro-
lect, strikes with no doubtful force the integrity
of the Union: for who that views the subject
with all It's hazardous and agitdting circum-
stances who but will see that as the violation
of the Constitution is the immediate necessity,
so disunion, with all its tremendous conse
quences, will be the inevitable result of
this hateful conspiracy.
As Whiggism and Abolionsm are near Of
kin and allied in blood, we deprecate their
union--tor their ncestuous intercourse must
breed monsters. Let them treat each other, as
heretofore they have done, with paterna and
sislery affection. They have been Graded to-
gether, and should not contend. They sprung
| from the same parents, and must not intermar-
ry; and in the name OF our country, ana Tor the
sake of its dearest Institutions, we forbid the
| banus.
These propagandists of dark prime piles, these
| friends Of blackened humanity, are determined
upon that kind of spasmodic action which in
tense zeal so often engenders. The energy of
their procC edings is more fful han certain, and
though no long continued effort is apprehesded,
"while the fit is on them" the danger threaten
ed should be avoided
1t is an effort of kindness, destined, most
probably, to be disregarded TO warn the deluded
proselytes Of mistaken zeal, that their juno
ton with either political party will find its con-
summation in an eventful overthrow. II their
cause is honest it needs not he adventurous aid
of a reckless party-if they are dishonest, no
political combination can long avail them. Anti
Masonry, for a long time vigorous, was stran-
glcd like pulling babe, within the nervous arms
of one of the two great political parties, and
fell as fall all perverted doctrines or sects, when
it listened to the seductive whisperngs of sell
fish faction. We hold the purposes of the abo-
Iilion movements as abominabe but deluded as
they are we would not see them swallowed up
in the rapscious jaws Of Wbggsm.
We hold their doctrines aboninable, because
their spirit initiates against the guaranteed
rights Of the Constitution. They are danger
Gus in their tendencies, and The first practical
result of their establishment would be the de.
struction of our grand charter, in which, as
States or individuals, we live, and move. and
have our being.

WAsHNGroS CRY, Dec. 10, 1912
FpurND WHITE In my last promised to furnish
you with an exposition Of principles which are
maturing among the Wing members Of Congress and
which there is much to believe are destined to
become prominent questions in the creed Of that
party
They are as follow:
lst BY the adoption Of the federal constitution
tnere was no power over the institution OF slavery
delegated TO the federal government
ID That the federal government has no constitu-
tional right TO legae fr the abolition Of slavery in
the States, or for It's support therein except for the
recapture Of fugitvcs from service.
3D. That the right of the people Of the free States
TO be entirely exempt from the expense, the guilt
and the disgrace Of slavery and the trade Is as
clear and ndisputable - the right Of the slave
States to continue and enjoy that institution
4th That the federal government has no consttu
onal right to apply the national funds or to employ
the army navy of the United States in rccapturiug
fugitive slaves.
5th. That the Executive Of the United States has
constitutional right to negotiate with foreign gov
crnmeus for the return Of fugitive slaves who have
escaped from any State of tins Union.
9th That the Executive of the United States has
