FACTS FOR ABOLlTlONlSTS. Il
The following facts speak for thcnselvcs-they
speak volumes to the Ahotonists. They must see
the result produced by their third party movements
The effect Of their movements is to defeat the Wings
and throw the political power OF the country into
the hands of the locos. The extracts below from
the N. Y. Tribune and the Albany Evening journal,
afford specimens of the manner IN which the locos
WELD that power. These facts are equally worthy |
the attention of every freeman Of the Country
They show which is the party otirecdom, and winch
the slavery party The Northern locos not only |
chow the knee TO the dark spirit Of slavery at the
South but they sidrcs themselves TO their party,
and would barter the freedom OF the North to secure
the ascendcncy OF their party IN the National Coun-
ellis
In the House, during the morning hour,
some matters'of interest came up among
others, Mr.. Slade moved to suspend the Dist
rule to enable him to offer a resolution in re-
gard to the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trct of Columbia, which was voted down
without debate, by ayes and noes-ayes %,
noes lll-coery Northern Wig UofiRg in
the aGirmative, and cpTy LOcofocO against
it,
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Morgan
ofN York, providing for withholding the as
sent of Congress to an enactment of the ter
ritorial Legislature oiFlorida, imposing a cap
/ itation tax upon all free negroes, and proy-
ding that, in dcfauh Of its payment, they are
! to be SoM! A most iniquitous aud cruel
| law, and which is earnestly condemned by
all Florida gentlemen here This Too ,oaS
rejected, or rath0 laid on the table, by the
help Of Northern LoootocO rotes.
THE VIRGINIA QUESTION
Mr.. Van Burens political necessities have
become so great as to demand from his ma
tive State another concession TO the South.
New York is required to take backward
step in the march of civilization. Gov.
Bouck, under the screws of the Albany Re
gency, calls upon the Legislature 10 repeal
the laws extending the right of trial Jyjury,
and expresses the determination TO deliver
up alleged "fugitiyes' in the cases where
Gov Seward refused to surrender them
The People of this State had right to ex-
pect very different treatment ofthe Virgin
ia question. For year past the authorities
of Virginia have assumed aud exercised the
right of stopping aud searching all vessels
bound to New York, which CHANGED to come
within the waters of Virginia and in most
) instances they have compelled the masters
Of vessels so detained to pay tax of ten dol
lars before they would suffer them to pro-
coed on their voyage. We had hoped to
have seen these high-handed proceedings of
the authorities of Virginia properly rebuked
in the Governors message. We had expec-
ted at the very least that the facts would
have been communicated TO the Legislature
and their interference invoked to protect cit
liens of New York from the demonstrations
nj avnctions nj Niryinia Rnt M snrh thincr
Far from complaining of the wrong thus
done TO New York, the message seems only
anxious to apologize to Virginia for fancied
injuries of which she has complained. The
interference of the Legislature is invoked
not to protect the citizens Of New York a
gains, palpabe and undeniable outrage, but
to make reputation TO the citizens of Virgin
ia in cases where the alleged wrong has
neither been admitted by Que party nor proved
by the other Ina word, New York is ex-
: pected to humble herself at the feet of Vir.
GINA, TO consent that her vessels shall be
! stopped and searched, her seameu taxed, and
r her statute book modified to suit the author
tiles of the Old Dominion, and all this for
no other or better reason than that MIR. Van
