MORE ~ABOLITIONISM

to presume that Abolitionism did its part to
achieve the Wig victory in New York, as
well as in most Of the Northern States which
have recently voted. Here is an extract
from a speech delivered by Mr.. Young, the
successful candidate We certainly had
rather see A%bolitionists vote for Wings,
than Wings for Abolitionists; but we are
very sorry to see the fanatic- Sach hu-
mored by the n0nanotiyns -ea~u--A b the
Whigs.-Recorder.
MIR. YouNG.-But he (Mr. Comstock)
also fears the abolitionists. / do not exact
ly understand the position of thai gentle
man, and III do not kmou but he might
cali me an .7dolih nisk=E l neverh heard
there was any apprehension of danger from
the enlargement of suffrage. .Neither do /
|knO'c any reason why the color ofhe skin
should determine the right ofa ma to rote,
nor how far the principle should be applied
20 the Anglo-Saxon race and how little tinge
there must be in the skin before a man is
allowed to vote. If this is the abolition he
fears III frankly tell him l do notfearit-R
TtDe open ,cide the doors to ADOPTED
CITIZENS uhy should TOE not embrace

'LY happened to differ somewhat from as
in color? What else abolitionism hasFto do
with our constitution I leave to the ingenu-
ity of the gentlemen to settle. a7-On the
broad question of the right Of the colored
man to vote, | can only say that-ifhe de.
mics it IDIFFER FROM HIM,-R
Glorious victory a storm in Pennsylvr1
MAI! and a perfect Tornado in New
York;!
The above is a patent chorus of e song
which the Coon has commenced singing to
'that saI.ic old tune over the misfortunes
ofour Rooster in Pennsylvsnia ard n. York.
As the Dutchman says "vcll rot Of it ?''
The "vot' Of it is that we have from a COM
! InatIon Of causes, been beaten in those
two great States, and we ~"acknowledrc
the corn" But We beg our Democratic
friends 70 remember this patent chorus of
the Wings for in it IRE find something char
acteristic of the whig victories in general.
These victories are always glorifed over as
"Storms." or Tcrnadoes-clearly proving
that nothing less than an unusual commo-I
tion in the political elements brings about
a wing ~victory-that they are Just about as
rare, and as few and far between as
"Storms" and "Tornadoes." From it we
draw this political moral; That wing prin-
ciples flourish in > sstorm"-but when tie
atmosphere becomes clear and the fury of
the sudden blast is past, the principles of
Democracy, like the unerring laws of
resume their common sway. AL.
past political history proves this, and we
have no fears that the present contest, Just
past in Pennsylvania and New York will
prove an exception to the rule.-TTexas
Whiggery appears to be in a perfect fo-
ment, at present. We are glad to see them
eAulting Over imaginary victories, as we
we'll know the settled and unaltered de-
of the Democracy to triumph
in the Presidential contest of'4S. The best
evidence ofthe inability of the whig party
to elect a President by the people is, the
frequent illusions in leading wing journals
an election in Congress, for President I!
Vain hope the Democracy will unite up
on man, and elect him.-EPlatte Argus.
POMPOSITY.-A facetious gentle
man, on travelling in the interior Of the
State, on arriving at his lodging place, in
the evening, was met by the o%stler, whom
he addressed:-'Boy extricate that quadru-
ped from the vehicle, stabulate him, denote
him an adequate supply Of nutritious ali
ment, and when the aurora of morn shall
again illuminate the oriental horizon, /
award you a pecuniary compensation
for your amiab1e hospitality"
The boy not understanding a word, ran
into the house, crying, dad, here's a
wants to see YOU
u The Paris Murcury says-"The
pc ople in this community are rapidly pre-
for winter: some getting warm
some repairing their houses, some
in wood, and others getting married.
