cry that he is not only opposec TO the prosso itself

II is always fatal, says Tie Pennsylya-
nian. to excite public expectation byexag-

eXtravagant hopes. IIeree we conceive
that 70 attempt 10 make Gea. Tas lor . Sec

lure Of cur day. The following contrast
between the dead patriot and the living
lmita'or, which we copy from Tie .fIjaay

Taylor has imposed upon himself, in
trying to emulate WAsHIyGroS:
The people, so far from being misled ty
these batteries 81 parasites, are only re-
called to i.,.er reaiiz ttinn Of The contrast
between the real grealnesscs Of the past

writer Ia the last Iowa Freeman asks "what
exist to array parties aganst each other at the APP
psosching August election. After assuring his
readers that the questions of Bank, sub-,reaury
Tariff and Distribution can hayc no influence upon
the contest, he very cooy asks and answers the fol-
lowing questions: aWhy then, not let the election
pass of quietly without effort on the part II any
one7 Because we are anxious, deeply anxious, that
Iowa should take y.and be.ide her sister states Of
the north and west in favor Of the exclusion q
slavery from, free territory"
Reader, this is the sum and substance OF atoli-
tionisn,. It cares nothing for weighty matters Of
national or state policy at home. No; TO iaad its
own legitimate business, is not the business which
suits aholi,ionism. Aud, the farther the subject
happens to ba beyond is reach and influence, The
more does o,icious aboitionism interest itself. Sc
with our coming state election. Abolitionism can
see nothing in it Of direct interest TO own pco
pie Il only views it in its Bearing upon the future
destiny OF the ebony race in conatry wholly dcsti.
tate OF colored slave population.
But after gracioasly informing the readers of the
Freeman that Bank, Tariff, and the like questions
usually forming the ErolncWOfk lor sepeFie pci.ti-
cal organization have nothing 70 do in devidiag par
ties in the coming contest this writer informs thea
that ssue," what huge word, this .we," in The
mouths Of little men!l ara anxious, decPl: anxious
that Iowa should take stand in favor OF the excla
ston of slavery from free territory he exhorts the
TO smase the rroviso the issue, and fight the battle
on this ground alone"
Thus does this sone id IS" drive from lie rniii.s
one possessed Of it all matters Of practical in?or
,ince, deeming them, as this writer observes, "i-
significant in comparison with this great question
Of humanity" The humanity OF stolitiohisn, like
the fashionable ia-philanthrophy of the pres
cnt day, entirely oyerlooks thousands Of really
charitable objects at its door, bes;ow its aims
upon others Of questionable merit and imp ortaasc
abroad.
