to clear. Theirs is not work of love. but of
hate. They hate you more than they love the
African Race. But what mean to soy is that
they aim at speedy abolition and to force il upon
you. Now, is there any sober man Of common
sense in the nation, who can believe If they ad-
vance step further but that the Union must
be dissolved They cannot advance one step fur
ther without entering your territories and control
ling your laws. This think will appear by stat-
ipg the advances they have already made. They
Have not indeed actually exchenged credentials and
entered into Treaty in diplomatic. FORM with
Foreign nations but they most directly cooper
ating with Foreign associations and, at least,
great Foreign Government, all pledged to univer-
sal emancipation. The proofs are, among others
1st. The existence of abolition Societies Of great
weight and numbers in Great Britain. 2ndly. The
Cooperation of the Government Of Great Britain
with their own Socletys. 3d. The cooperation of
our aboltonists with those foreign Societies. 4th
That these Foreign Societies have their agents and
orators, with whom they correspond on the floor
of Congress. 9Th. That they have political par
ty in many States, organized and distinctly dcsig-
mated. 9th That this party forms great ele-
ment Of the great Wing party of the Union-at
least in power if not in name, much so, that if
the Wing candidate for the Presidency be success
ful he will owe his success to abolition votes be-
cause 10 s1'nc States whose votes necessary

election OF our Chief Magistrate. 18th. Greet Brit

Abolitionsts by declaring to it views in coincidence
with theirs, and which our Executive Government
has very properly protested against. Sth. There
is the hostile of the Legislature of the State of
Massachusetts, which in itself would, if feXecutcd,
be subversion Of the Union. 9th. The temper of
abotionists, evincvc of the consciousness of their
power, of which shall give but one proof. That,
is letter of the Inachdrtis CIOotes Of the United
States In this letter, after abusing, in the gross
est terms, the President of the United States, the
present Secretary of State and several Of his pre-
decessors. and denouncing generally the conduct
| of the Government of his own country, and
showing himself in heart and soul devoted to the
| unfrlcndly views of fore gn country, he comes
down to the late letter of rcmonstrancc Of Mr..
Calhoun to the British Minister and says, "wc are
yet to learn with what the sound Of the trum-

step further without entering your tel ritorcs and
controlling your laws ! Whether they do no,
now shake the union, and whether if they can pro.

are the allies of the Wings and the manufacturers
