THE ABoLITIoNISTS AT FAULT.

The faction that first commenced the cutlery
against the annexation of Texas 10 hs republic, and
were supported in their foolish opposition TO meas
ure which the whole people were thoroughly IN favor
Of by the wings Of the North, have lately appealed
10 The leading wings of Massachusetts, for counte-
nance aud support IN their opposition TO The adms-
sion ofTexas as Stale, and are answered not only
10 the effect that "the question is seted-hat Tex
as now is virtually part Of the union," and that
il would be folly To contend any longer against the
will of the nation, but one of the persons who has
been written 10, replies that the course of the aboh-
tionists "has produced nothing but evil ~ IL is
thus that the poor fellows are treated by the wings
after the presidential election, t3rs which they were
led to consider that they were the lights of the age
and that any resistance they might, could, would,
should make 10 the democratic party, at least so
far as the extension ofthe area of freedom was con-
cerned, would receive the hearty and unanimous
concurrence of the whigs On this presumption, the
aboltionlsts raised the banner of antlanneXatlon,
aud the wings Joined them in their battle cry, ans
assisted them in their labor Of love to the best OF
their ability; but they were "unequal 10 the task
of resisting the mighty current of popular feeling
that swept over the land, and the wings consd-
er that the annexation of Texas is NOT open
measure but settled point The Courier of this
city, and many other whig papers, have for some
time given their readers TO understand that il is
not only unwse but anti patriotic, to contend against
the measure; and here we have letters from Hon.
Nathan Appleton and Abbott Lawrence; of Massa-
chusetts, which are well worthy of perusal. The
whole whig press will be out IN commentator of
nexation in short time, and we shall not be sur
prscd TO hear it proclaimed by the wings that they
we're the originaors of the measure, So much for
the power and influence of the American democra-
cy. Texas is part of the Union, and the wings
acknowledge it, Notwithstanding the measure is not
consummated, and they have yet an opportunity OF
trying their strength against its fulflment. Hear
what Messrs Appleton and Lawrence have to say

BOSTON, ION Nov, l545
GENTLEMEN: have received a circular with your
signatures, dated the 9th inst, asking my aid and

chusetts Texas committee, and requesting an early
answer.
With this last request, coming from gentlemen
for whom have Individually the highest personal
respect, feel bound in courtesy to comply.

ment. For all practical purposes az far as the peo-
pie are concerned, Ieonsider the question settled
| have opposed it, and contributed funds to oppose
it. so long as there appeared to be chance of pre-
venting it. Massachusetts has done her duty; and
her senators and representatives will continue to do
theirs. Beyond that, cannot think it good policy
to waste our efforts upon the impossible
observe amongst the parties to this movement,
great number (if not majority Of those who
have distinguished themselves as members of the alb
clifton party. Now believe our fathers did wisely
in establishing the union of the States under he ex-
sting constitution. II is at least questionable
whether the abolition movement is reconcileable
with duty under that constitution. At any rate
that movement, as conducted was calculated in my
opinion to produce, and has produced, nothing but
evil. II has banded the south into solid phalanx
IN resistance to what they consider an impairment
and unIushable interference with their own peculiar
rights and business. 1t has thus .exasperated their
feelings, and by its operation on their fears, has in
creased the severity of the slave laws. II has post
poned the period of emancipation in the more north

event Finally, by its political action, it has Sc
cured the election Of Mr.. Polk, and the admission
of Texas into the Union.
