Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen.

The morning after the Wing nomina-
lions for President aud Vice Presde,t
were known in our Cry the common H.
beler OF the Herald came on: with The
broad, naked assertion that Nj. Freling-
huysen was an Abolitionjst, and this false
hood has been since traveiog around the
Loco-Foco journals Of the South, with
such variations aud embellishments as fan
cy or party ranc9r has dictated-such as
that Bennett is impartial, favorable 10 the
Wings, &c. The SANDER has been in
every way contradicttd d, and vet the utter.
er has never relracled nor explained it -
and 10 this day earnest inquiries are re-.
ceved from the South inquiring if Mr..
F. had really been connected with the Alb
clifton parry
The answer is very simple: Mr. Fro
IInghuySen never was in any way con-
nccted with the A bolltionsls nor claimed
by them as inclined to their school. On
t contrary, his consistent. untrng at
tacament to the Colonization cause has
rendered him obnoxious 10 hostility from
them though we doubt not it springs from
as sincere and lively (however mistakenly
regard for the welfare of the African race
ms that which animates the Atolitionists
themselves. His vindcutIons of the Col
onIzatIon cause. Through our higher peri.
odlcas and every where, have been ardent
and effective.
The above extract, from the n. Y.
Tribune. will doubtless satisfy slavehold-
ers, even down to the cotton fields of Lou
'SIana, that Mr.. FreIinghuysen is sound
upon the subject of abolition, that he has
no sympathy either wi h The men or the
measures of this class of people. When
the North give him their votes, they will
not do it on the ground of his favoring ab.
olitionism. This EasehooG is corrected.

+" The man Of Letters"
Or, F." The Complete Letter. W1rtter."

The Boston Morning Post exhibits the
various phases, presented by Mr.. Clay's
four letters, upon Texas-and attributes
to him three faces. The Post had not then
seen the two last letters recently published.
He had seen the Raleigh letter-and the
two Alabama letters land the Washington
letter-but he had not seen the Ohio let
ter, and the Indiana letter. We take the
liberty, therefore, Of charging the canvass,

"Now, by three-headed Janus, Nature

The Wing candidate for the Chief Ma

with the features distinct and well defined;
let those who doubt i. look upon them:

neutrality-suspicious. Letter, Sept. 18Th.
Now, what are we to make of all these
revelations, but that Mr.. Clay is making one
of the most difficult games he ever had, te

From the n. Y. Pleheii
The British Gold Humbug.

The following paragraph. said TO be
copied from the London Times, has been
widely circulated through the Wing press
in every section Of the country as afford
ing evidence to sustain the slanderous state
ment Of a mendaoious Federal print, in
this city, that "nearly five hundred thou
sand dollars have been subscribed by the
British manufacturers during the last IL
months, for the dissemination of free trade
doctrines in the United States:''
"a subscription was recently opened to
raise funds to circulate free trade Tracts in
foreign countries. About four hundred and
forty thousand dollars were subscribed. Some
of these Tracts are to be printed in New ork,
for circulation in the United States.''
That this pretended extract from the
London Times is a sheer fabrication Of
the Roorback stamp, got up by the Fede-
raj organ which first gave it publicity here
is fully established by the subjoined article
relative to the matter, which we copy from
yesterdays Journal of Commerce
"We receive the London Times regu-
larly, but have never seen any such para
graph in its columns. The Times would
not use the term dollars in reference to
subscriptions made in England, but pounds.
The wording of the paragraph would lead
one to suppose that $4,000 were sub.
scribed, when and where the subscription
was opened; Or at any rate, in the course
Of a few DAYS; whereas, if such an amoun
was raised at all, it was the work of nearly
year. The last anniversary of the Anti
Corn Law league of which we have an &C.
count, was held in London on the 2sth Of
September, ls43. The receipts of the
previous year were stated at esq 900; ant
the expenditures g47,sl4 all of which
had been applied to the promotion of fret
trade principles in Great Britain-a re

UNREDEEMED PROMISES!

Here are some Of the promises made by
the wings in 1910.
They would appoint no member of Con-
gress to office.
They would make no removals for o.
pinions sake. ........
They would reduce the expenditures.
They would pay off the national debt.
They would separate the 'purse and the
sword from the hand of the Executive.
They would make sound and uniform
national currency.
They would regulate the exchanges
They would raise the price Of produce.
They would increase the wages of la
Dor.
They would relieve the people,
How have these promises been kept
This is fair question. Let US see the
answer.
l. On the very day Gen. Harrison took
the chair; ay, before he had time to warm
the seat, four wing members of Congress
were appointed to Cabinet offices, and
since that time the number of members o
Congress were appointed to Cabinet Off
ces, and since that time the number O
members of Congress cofrmed Into office
by the wing Senate, is greater than at any
previous period since the time Of Wash
ington.
2. Mr.. Granger, Postmaster General
removed 1000 Postmasters. during hi:
brief power, for opinions sake and sub
sequently boosted that, if he continued il
Office, he should have guillotined 5000
more.
3. The wing Congress when it adjourn
ed on the Sd of March, left national deb
of nearly FIFTY-NINE MILLIONS
When Mr.. Van Buren, retired, it was abou
$5,OOO,0O0. Heaven only knows what
would now have been, had not Presiden
Tyler interposed the veto power.
The expenditures during Mr.. Van Blu
ren's last year, were $22,35l, l47. Du
ring the first year of the retrenchmen
wings they were $26,294,242; and durin
the next two years, averaged nearly $25
100000.
4. The 'purse and sword were separs
ted by law passed under Van Buren,
administration imposing fine and per
atty, on all who use the public money fc
private purposes.
The wings, as soon as they came int
power, united purse and sword agair
by repeating this law without providing
substitute.
5. Having done nothing to improve III
currency. of course they have not keI
that promise. The currency was GOO
when they commenced their attacks upo
it, and it is good now-but no thanks
them. 1t has regulated itself, as the Den
ocrats always said it would. And as
the exchanges there was no more reg
= lation under a National Bank than the
= has been since.
6. Under the wing administration, Il
PRICES OF PRODUCE, and The w.
\ GES OF LABOR have been reduced. ne
. wlthstanding the wings promised the pc
pie, 'two dollars day and roast beef, al
. 'better times
In brief they have violated every pro1
. ise made in 1910. Now they have t
. insolence to come before the people wi
the same alurements and false lights
