With political abotonism the democracy Of this county
can have sympathy It's history thus far demonstrate
that policy is calculated impede the progress of the
cause PROCESSES have heart and that has no higher
aim than the acquisition of political power. Until aboli

Ia the place, il declares the preservation of the
Union and the constitution be the sacred duty OF every
good citizen Slavery evil bnt there may be greater
evils than slavery The dissolution of this glorious Union
the overthrow of that noble charter OF rights the const
tionhese would be greater evils Yet these the de
signs which aboonsm unblushpgy avows. The
world in which live is full of imperiectionsin all ages
the social organization has failed make men pure and
perfect Would therefore, destroy the earth, mankind

Ii cannot have escaped the observing eye, that
effort been made by the fedefas and aboitionss
sunde the ties which have united the northern and south
ern democracy from the period of the last presidential
ton. So long the great democratic party of the Union
was united, victory peched upon her banners Defeat
could only result from division To divide and conquer the
south must be aenated from the north To produce this
aenation local issues raised The sensbility of
the south upon the subject of slavery well understood
and federalism poured forth its oudnouthed denuncations
of the SOUTH declared that the south and slavery controlled
the government, and called upon the northern to rally
TO secure their rights and battle for freedom The issue is
a false one, and insincere it is false Some timd
men the south became alarmed The stratasem of the
cderasts had welnigh succeeded. Now this reso uoa
repudaes any such issue, and strikes ALL be they north
south, who embrace it.
The democracy of Washington county will make al

will with nortern iedealists in heaess, hypo
critical denuncaiions of slavery and the SOUTH for the pur
pose of making political capital They will INTRODUCES into
the democratic creed test of fellowship between
northern and southern democrats They will stand where
they have Stood regarding slavery evil ready
