And heard of his impiols notions.
And now. we'll cause connections
To cover him deep with Clay,
For it is Clay Clay,

From now till next November.

NORTH AND SOUTH.

The Wing and Democratic papers Of
the South, are endeavoring TO convince
their readers, that the Abolitionisis of
North are opposed to their opponents
while the Northern wings and Democrats
vie with each other in endeavoring 10 se-
cure the Abolition vote. The ruth is, the
least said on this subject The beiler-the
one party is as deep in the mud as the
other is in the mire; and it should bel
lesson 10 US Of The South never TO permit
this question 10 he introduced into our
party discussions. We are all euni,ed.in
opposition to the Aboiiiionists, and there
cannot possibly any good arise from re-
examinations as TO tue amount Of support
either party receives from these execrable
disorganisers, and much evil might be
engendered. Already there ate manyio
be found amongstiuss who argue in favor
ofthe miss called right ofpelition-a mos,
dangerous fallacy, and the time may
come, when, through party policy, anolh
er erquestion, offar greater magnitude and
importance. will find its apologisls and ad-
vocates in the South, We have already
sufficient grounds for difference of opinion,
without continually and unnecessarily
dragging this subject on the topis.-Che-
