Much less, still can I give my support to any candidate, who shall give his aid or countenance to the agitation of abolition in Congress or elsewhere or whose prominent and influential friends and sup porters shall. I doubt the sincerity of any man. who declares he is abolitionist whilst at the same time, he aids countenances the agitation of the question, be his pretext what it may. If we have right to our slaves, have the right to hold them in peace and quiet If the Constitution guarantees the one, fl guarantees the other and if it forbids the one from being attacked it equally forbids the oth- er Indeed the one stands to the other as means to an end, and is so avowed by the aboftionists and on the painest principle of morals, if the end be prohibited, the means of electing it also are. Of the two regard the deluded fanatic far less guilty and dangerous than he, who, for political or party purposes, aids countenances him, in what he knows is intended to do that, which he acknowl- edges to be forbidden by the Constitution
 It is time that an end should be put to this sys tam of plunder and agitation. They have been borne long enough They are kindred measures, and hostile, as far, at least, portion of the Union is concerned. While the tariff takes from us the proceeds of our labor abolition strikes at the labor itself. The one robs Us of our income, while the other aims at destroying the from which that income IS derived It is impossible for us to stand patiently much longer under their double operations without being impoverished and ruined
