AS we have stated, we consider the main
evil of the Abolition organization is, that
therebymen neglect the practical means
of doing good, for impracticable ard visionary
effort. As we stated in our last, the acton
of the Democratic party. is war upon
slavery oeall kinds under whatsoever name
ii is known. In DESTROYING The United
States Bank, we destroyed the most cum
ningly con,rived and me ST effectual iustru-
ment of slavery, that our government has
known :and against all institutions of SINH
lar character, though of different names,
are we still eliectualy warning, aud con,inu-
ally accumulalng beneficial results, such
as attended upou The ehectual overthrow
.ofihe Bank. The result Of our action is TO
do away with slarery Of whatsoever name
or of whatsoever nature; by abandoning us
then, and enlisting under The standard of
abolition, man runs the risk Of doing a
great deal of evil, in the faint hope Of doing
little good. Is il not so? We spoke
in our las; of the condition of things in En-
rope; willany one deny that what we
stated is fact? Certainly not Can it be
denied that the governmental policy Of thu,
nation is precisely such as the wings wish
to establish here? And if such is the case :,
is it not legitimate deduction,tha in time,
The same results would follow the es' ablish-
ment Of the policy here. We'll then, whena
democrat abandons his present party organ
ization 10 join Ne abolionisis is not his vote
and influence as likely to be thrown in Ga
vor of this policy as otherwise and whilst
his vote and influence Immediately affects
this policy, does il or can it affect the
question for which their organization is in
la our own Territory, the aboitionisis have
nominated for Congress, Edward ID. Holton
1--we are not misinformed Mr.. Holton be-
fore joining the aboliiionists, was an active
member of The wing party. Now we have no
reason 10 suppose that in joining the aboli-
tionists, Mr.. Holton abandoned one lot or
title of his previously entertained opinions.
He doubtless believes now, as he did then,
that Bank is necessary to the machinery Of
government-that high tariff is necessary
for protecting industry the granting
ofspecial privileges, and creating moaopo-
lies by law, and all that kind of thing, is
right and proper,and the duty Of Legislators.
He is sent 10 Congress, and we will sup
pose, clothed with the same power, as other
members; now whilst he could touch but
in the most indirect manner, the question
of the abolition of southern slavery, he
could touch directly, and would be called
to act upon these other questions Of which
we have spoken. He would take the
British side and the British policy, and
whilst democrats had contributed to elect
a man TO Congress 10 abolish slavery,
they could but remotely touch that
question-but would aid in the establish
ment of system, which from the bottom
of their hearts they abhor; and which they
nnow, has slavery in il Of the wors: char
acter Do we wish TO do this thing? True
our delegate has not the power to touch
either the slavery question, nor any other
in Congress, but the principle is the same
Can il be possible then that any Democrat
will abandon his present party organiza-
ton, TO run the risk Of such evils. So far
as the immediate case is concerned, it is diff
ferent with wings. They know that Mr..
Holton is with them, in all questions His
action in Congress would be such as they
could approve, and they can doubtless feel
that they can vote for him, and do their
whole duty. We do not throw this out as
an eleetioneering trick or scheme. The
facts are as we state, and the deductions
are natura! and correct. Will not Demo
