Truman smltA,s CalaI.nls. upon th. Dsmosrae

Truman sn.iths Caluraniss upon the Democracy.
Forty years ago. when the infamous plot was set on
foot by the federasts Of New England to dissolve the
Union. as disclosed by the Henry correspondence, the
leaders of that party were then remarkable for their
aboltonism as now Then the federal press OF New
England and also the federal pulpit rang with fumina
lions against slavery and the slave States and against the
democracy Of the North for being in political union with the
democracy Of the South From that time until the present.
aboonsm has colored the whole tone Of northern ede-
raj wing sentiment During the war OF 1872 the leading
federaliss Of New England harped they d. upon
the enormy Of slavery, and the turpitude OF slave
holders So also did the federal priests Of that day desc
crate the sacred desk by their bitter phppcs upon the
slayeholding South So prevalent this abolition
sentiment among the ederasts OF the North, that the in
famous concave Of dsunonsts and traitors destined to
be known through all time as the Hartford Convention,
made the matter Of slavery subject Of grave debate and
solemn resolution. 1t was in that traitorous concaye
that the first resolution was passed recommending a
change Of the clause Of the constitution relating to slave
representation, which proposition has been perseverngy
followed up by the federal wing legislature Of Massachu
sets almost to the present time
Nor has time effected the least change In the sent

slavery and Shareholders At his moment, there is no
difference of opinion among northern Whigs upon the
subject Of Slavery They opposed 70 sapery. and
aboltionsts And If large portion Of the rank and file
Of northern whgery have been induced to vote for Gen.
Taylor STAKEHOLDER, it is because their leaders have
pledged themselves upon their honors that they had let
tiers from him in their possession pedgng him not to veto
any bill which Congress might pass upon the subject of
slavery, and particularly upon the Wmo Provso.
These leaders, and the of the qbolition achigs
Of the North, are now united in full fellowship
and brotherhood with the slaveholdng wings OF the
South The coalition betoees abolition whigery of the

the sIavehoding wings OF the South have voted for
northern abolitionst for Vice President-a man who
avows himself against the extension Of slavery, in favor
Of the abolition of slavery in the District Of Columbia
and the Introduction Of the slave trade between the States

coalition with aboionsts against the administration OF
