LOUISVILLE ADV. We copy the follow
ing notice of an article which we lalely
published, upon the subject of abolition
movements in this quarter, from the Lou
isville Advertiser:
"ABoL1T1oN. The reader is referred
to an interesting article which we hav'
copied from the Cincinnati Republican
a paper which lately supported the prlncl
Piles Of Democracy; paper which MAJ
turned but not quite far enough to act witt
the Adamses and SHADES in Congress, o.
the wing abolition in Ohio. 1t does no
give correct view of the strength OF the
aboli,ionis,s in Cincinnati There they are
in the ascendant. They control the city
elections, regulate what may be termed the
morals of the city, give tone 10 public O.
pinion. and "rule the roosI" by virtue o
their superior piety and intelligence The
Republican tells us that they are not labor

course; men who have leisure and means
and disposition to employ the latter, to
equalze whites and blacks in the slaves

We doubt whether an instance can be ad-
duced of The recovery Ola runaway in that
place in the last four years. When ne
groes reach the "Qaeen city," they are
protected by its intelligence, its piety and
It's wealth. They receive the aid of the
elite oflhe Buckeyes, and we have strong
faction in Kentucky struggling yea ously
TO make her one of the dependencies OF
Cincinnati. Let our mutual sons go on.
The day OF our mutual retribulion is a:
band-much nearer than is now imagin,
ed The Republican, which still looks
with friendly eye to the slaveholdpg
States, warns US of the danger which ex-
isis, although its new born Zeal for whig.
gerry prompts it to insist, indirectly, on the
right OF peii.ioning Congress to abolish
slavery. There are about $50 abo-
tton societies in Ohio at The present
time, and from the circular issued at head
quarters, Cincinnati, it appears that agents
are to be sent through every county to
distribute books and pamphlets designed
to inhame the public mind and then Or
ganize additional societies OR, rather,
form new plans, to aid in the war which
has been commenced on the slaveholding
Sta,es."
do not, sir, underwrite for the truth OF
this statement as an entire whole, much of
it | repe as an mi ust charge on my TEL
low citizens of Cincinnati; but as 1t comes
from a saveholding Slale-from the State
of the Senator who has so eloquently an
alhemalized aboIitionists that it is almost
pity they could not die under such sweet
sounds-and as the South Carolina Sena.
