Theodore FreIinghu, sen.-The New York
Herald and Vicksburg Sentinel.
In the NcksbWg Sentinel of the goth
ult., we find the following paragraph, which
is credited to that Infamous and scirulous
sheet the "New York Herald", and it is
certainly in perfect keeping with the gem
eral character of Bennett, who is known to
be most notorious Tier and detamer Of fair
repution:-
" Mr.. Frelinghuysen has been a resident
of this city for several years yast-ls a citi.
zen Of New York, halls from New York,
and'has taken an active part in variety of
movements here in relation to slavery, abo.
lition, morals, religion, learning, and Heav-
en- knows what. Mr.. Frelinghuysen is an
out.and~out abolitionist, or at least has been
and we suppose he still adheres to the same
faith"
We are not much astonished to sec the
above libel endorsed by theeditor of the
Sentinel, for it appears to be the great aim
of some foreigners, whenever an opportuni-
ty offers, to backen, if possible, and by a
lie if need be, the fair fame of prominent
and respectable American citizens, and as
the editors of the Herald and the Sentinel
are both foreigners, We, might expect that
such man as THEoDoRE FRELINGHUYsEN,
could not escape their venemous attacks.
Now, as to the charge of Abolitionism! we
hurl the foul, dasterdly, and damning lie
back into the teeth Of those editors, who
have no conscientious scruples as TO truth.
Was it not for the infamous connexion
which these papers make with Mr.. FreIing~
huysen, we would suffer the paragraph above
quoted, to pass unnoticed-but standing as
we do, we would be worse than migrate
were we to remain silent when THEODORE
FRELINGHUYSEN is so basely slandered
as to be published, by such recreant journ-
ais as the Herald and the Sentinel, in cons
nection with; Dennison, Garrison GgvCol Oh!
Shame, where-is thy bl,,sl.l-nhl Vioksbure
Sentinel where is thy proof? The Sentinel,
together with other locofoco papers here in
the South, are industrious in spreading this
vile fdlsehood against Mr.. Frelinghuysen.
Again we ask, where is the proof? Is it
Because THEoDoRE FRBLINGHUYsEx, like
many Of the enlightened of Virgin a and
Carolinas, is the advocate of colonization?
Or is it because he is the defender of one
of the first privileges of freemen, that of
the right Of petition? No! the reason is,
that he is an american citizen, man pos
sessed of the CHEST order Of talents, a
phlanthropist, christian, and the Wing
candidate for Vice President. Butrave on,
f we traitors and sycoPhants, your falsehoods
will avail you nothing = THEODORE FIRE.
LINGHUYSEN stands too far above your
: daslardly assaults. But every foreigner
does not understand the theory Of this gov.
ernment-and many of those who come
from Europe to this country are more the
advocates OF RIGHTEOUSNESS than Of liberty,
We lament, sincerely deplore, that e'this
jade and that tom" have so much power in
this country to abuse. our first and most val
liable citizens. Mr.. Frelinghuysen, it j:
true. is anative and resident Of non,
slavehOlding State, but he ,oiH be the las
statesman in America who will invade the
rights of slavery as secured to the people
Of the South.
1t is fact, however, that any thing emf
mating from the pen of that notorious lie,
and blackgudr1 Bennett Of the Herald
has but little influence upon the public
: mind, and the endorsement BY the Sentinel
Of his assertions, does not add any grea
weight to them.
Now, Bennett, after writing <the abov,
, quoted paragraph, appears TO have becam,
somewhat conscience stricken, for in con
Guiding the article already alluded TO, h,
: closes with the following remarks:
|, elm other respects Mr.. Frelinghuysen i
! a very respectable, moral and talented man
. though somewhat dull and heavy. How
ever, he ill make capital Vice Presi
dent"
! So, the SANDER first promulgated BY th
Herald, and endorsed by the Sentinel,
J somewhat mitigated by the above extrac
. but The intention at drst was TO injure,
possible, NJ. Frelinghuyson.
