to this. We feel equally sure tOIthe contrary,
and at any rate the charge Of unmitigatcd abo.
l%itiOnism cannot be allowed without proof
However sure the democrat may be, it must
produce the evidence before we will believe
it. We will in the mean lime produce one
proof which it is at liberty to use.
In January, MI. Ewing was the whig candi-
date for US. Senator in Ohio, he did not re-
ceive the vote of q single free-soiler or aboli-
ZIONIST; he was opposed by Mr.. Chase, a rank
unmitigated, radical aboliliopis,, who received
the vote Of every democrat, and every free
sOiler in the legislature was thereby elected.
Had Mr.. Ewing been an 'nnmitigated aboli-
t%iOnist,' would this have happened?
Now the seventh and last cabinet minister,
Mr.. COllamer. We admit Mr.. Collamer's
votes. But is he any worse than John NJ. Niles,
Mr.. Van Buren's POSTMASTER General? Mr..
n. is an out and out free.sOiIer. Is he any
worse than John A. Dix, whom the Mississip-
plan but little over a year ago was fOisting on
the people ofthis State as the best Of all demo.
cratic candidates! Suppose, for arguments sake,
Mr.. COllamer to be all the Democrat says heis.
Is his abolitionism any more foul than that Of
the three democraGic-abOlitiOn Congressman
elected last April in Connecticut? This cleo
ton the Democrat paTaded extensively as q
: Triumph Of he Democracy and expressed it's
opinion most decidedly, that { The result Oas glO-

Congressman elected went as far, il not fur.

these principles to be IN every sense Of The worG

Now the election to Congress Of three men
entertaining these sentiments, the Democrat
hailed as & result glorious IN eUery 'Vay.' Is it
not, then, debarred from saying a word against
the elevation Of Mr.. COllamer, against whom
the highest charge it brings is that he is very
much of their opinion! We regret many Of
Mr.. Collamer's votes, We are not defending
them, but we do say that if lb@election Of Mr..
Cleveland and his two abolition colleagues,
was a triumph, a result glorious in every way,
and Of course in the way Of abolition sentiment,
then that Mr.. COlIamer, in entertaining at the
worst similar opinions, is not to be denounced
as IN unmitigated abolitiOnist. Besides, a
member Of the cabinet will not have a 1.-THE Of
the legislative influence Of a single representa-
tive. Gen. Taylor's course upon the slavery
question will not be swayed by Mr.. COIlamer's
opinions. He will be very apt to be guided
by his own sense Of right, duty, and justice.
But the legislation OF the country will be d.
rectly affected by the votes Of the Connecticut
members.
Besides, we have been continually told that
Gen. Taylor was s false and jesuitical', be-
cause he selected his Cabinet and the Office.
holders from one party; and yet he is the more
vehementIy denounced, because he pays some
respect to the great sectional differences Of
opinion existing throughout the nation, and as
far as he can, divides his cabinet between the
North and the South, leaving one to remain
upon neutral ground, to stand like the Prophet
of old, between the living and the dead.' 1t
may yet be, that his advice upon the subject
Of sectional strife and abOlitiOnism will assist
Gen. Taylor to carry on. successfully a SINH.
lar mission to that OF the Jewish Patriarch, and
to have it recorded as the glorious result of his
administration, and he plague Wgs steyed.'
Respecting Mr., Fillmore II is needless to
speak, Even were he what+he Democrat says
he is, the fact that the people Of the United
States have made him Vice President, is no
proof Of Gen. Taylor's having surrounded him
self with a%bolitionists. The charge itself,
however, separate eycn from his own denials
and the proofs that have been given, has been
pronounced false by a jury Of the country.
We shall not now stop to disprove it. A large
