I'VE have noticed this extraordinary article in the
New York Evening Post Let the editor of that paper
be assured that the President OF the United States has
much frmness any of the barnburning aboltonists
in New York He has the Courage to discharge all his
important duties both to his country and the democracy
which supports him. and the Evening Post may be
doing serious mischief TO its friends by affecting say
that Messrs. Polk, Marcy, &C., "may have the dis
position but they want the courage; they are afraid to
face the storm Of denuncation which such step would
awaken 1t is prudent, they perceive, to turn out
few of the ngeadcrs, by way of giving the others to
understand that unless they take part in favor of the
extension of slavery, they will be dismissed also.
threat is implied, but without any serious intention of
executing it," What the President thinks it his duty to
do for the good of his country that he will do, in spite of
the the Of all the aboltionsts in New
York .s.n0H

direct before the SOUTH and the whole Union
The southern wings assuming fearful RESPONSE
bty-in tho respects First they trying to foist up
on the South Vice President, who is an abotonist.
He is avowed advocate of the great of the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and OF
the save-rade between the States, and of the Wilmot
Provso for in his letter of 1898, he declared himself
opposed to the annexation of Texas so long it held
slaves Therefore, upon the ground he would close
all our new acquisitions shareholders, without
Citation without compromise, and to the manifest dan
ger Of the Union Itself They thus forcing in Vice
President. who, in of tie in the Senate, (and the
slave and nslaveholdng States there equally d.
vided,) would give his vote in favor OF the Wmo Pro-
viso. This is responsibility.
And there is second. They deprving the friends
of compromise of the constitutional shield which the Ex-
ecutve power might extend to them They for elect
ing President who abjures the veto, and who will.
therefore, sign any bill which recognises the Wilmot
Provlso.
Thus they go for both Vice President and President
who will throw their whole weight against all compro
ise and the hazard of distracng and dssovng the
Union. We impeach the southern wings, therefore, of
these designs and the South and the whole Union should
hold them responsible for the consequences.

The aspect of affairs is extremely encouraging. Un-

could scarcely get electoral vote by the people. In
