long to the Wings. long time before
could procure information from that benighted
region; but at last did gather some facts, which
will give.
Although | was told that there were no Van
Buren, abolitionsts in New Hampshire, l had acct
dentally seen a. paper from there, edited by Ed
mund Burke, the same gentleman now a member
from that State. This paper 10 my surprise con
tanned appeal TO democratic abolitonists be-
seeching them not TO be entrapped in the tolls of
federalism. This paper is called the argus and
Spectator III am wrsng in supposing the gentle
man from New Hampshire to be the person to
whom have alluded, hope he will say so. Does
he deny il,
"GMr. BURKE, of New Hampshire, observed that
the gentleman from North Carolina had read an
extract only; he wished him to read the whole of
the article.l
"Mr. SrANLy. Read the whole! night read until
midnight, If read the whole Of the articles to
which have referred. | ask the gentleman if he
denies il?
"[Mr. BURKE requested Mr.. STANLY to repeat
the question:
"Mr. STAsLy asked if there were not many abo-
htionists in New Hampshire who supported the
Van Buren, party, and if he was not the editor Of
the paper from which he had just read an extract?
Does the gentleman deny III Yes, sir, / was told
frequently that all the abolitonists in New Hamp-
shire were Wings. But here is the editor of the
Argus and Spectator on the same ticket with the
gentleman who introduced the humbug resolu-
tions, addressing the democratic abolitionists of
New Hampshire!
"a give few extracts
"'But we would caution such democrats as may
favor anti-savcry principles, to beware, and not
get entrapped in the tolls Of federalism while they
imagine they arc advancing their peculiar
doctrines
"NWe find no fault with their dissenting from
slavery, and desiring its removal sc.
81 have heard the names of some Of the leading
abolitionists in New Hampshire-one of them is
Peter p. Woodbury., (brother Of Levi Woodbury.. }
The Secretary of the Treasury has one brother in
Massachusetts abolitionst, and here sir, is an
other from his own State. In one of the abolition
| papers of New Hampshire ! found an article
signed "A Uniform Democrat, in which the writer
says The high character fNew England would be
degraded by making the impression at the South,
or elsewhere, that our democratic citizens are the
miserable apologists advocates of the unholy
cause of slavery These democratic citizens
are, of course, supporters Of the present admins
tration They very modestly appropriate the
name of Democrats, while they arc ultra federal
in principle and practice
4 Now, what does the Union say of the
Estaint of abolition" in New Hampshire
among the Democrats, until 1914 or AS
What will the truthful and honest men
say who read the Union?
/ But then the Union refers to the Legis-
lature of New Hampshire under the lead
of "ANTHoNY Colby, JAMES WILSON,
and Others" and quotes law passed in
1916 preventing any person from giving
assistance to persons trying to recover
fugitive slaves; and then impudently says:
"The passage of this law was one of the promi-
nent acts Of the allied abolition federasts of New
Hampshire during the brief period in which they
held power and although the democrats haze eper
since been an potcer in that State, they haze permitted
the Iatc to remain the statute book because las
one ef the reasons) the Wings Of the slaveholding
States found no fault icih it, shotcn BY their
constant alliance and association icih the ury men
that passed IT,"
| Because Southern Wings associate with
New Hampshire gentlemen, Mr.. BURKE,
OF New Hampshire, an ardent supporter
of Mr.. VAN BUREN-one who associates
with WILLIAM J. Brown, the favorite
candidate of the Republican party for the
Speakership-fnds fault with Southern
gentlemen for associating with honest and
honorable men! Was ever impudence
greater even in the Union? And this is the
Mr.. BURKE who ''finds no fault with their
(the Democratic Abolitionists of New
Hampshire in 1889 dissenting from slave
ry, and desiring its removal 70 The Demo
Gratis would not repeal an unconstitutional
law, "because (as one of the reasons) the
Wings of the slaveholding States found no
fault with it, as is shown by their constant
alliance and association with the very
men that passed it !" What an estimate
does the Union form Of the intelligence of
its readers
But Mr.. BURKE says the Democratic
Legislature in New Hampshire, but "two
years previous to the ascendency of the fed
eral Abolitionists, under the lead of HALE,
WILSON, Colby and others" passed GER
tain resolutions which the Union pub
lishes-and TO one of which we ask the
attention of our readers, as characteristic
of those who are the doughfaces of the
North, who run with the hounds and hold
with the hare.
Rere is the 9Th. resolution
as. Resolved, That VIC believe with Mr.. Clay
that the Remuneration of Texas tcH add more free
than slape States to the Union; and that Il ,cotid
be unviss TO refuse permanent acquisition, which
will exist long the globe remains, on ac-
count Of temporary institution
Here we see the appeal TO the Demo
cratic Abolitionists--there will be "more
free than slave States,'' and slavery is ga
temporary institution
Again, says the Union:
"Thc history of parties in New Hampshire with
reference to the slavery question is the history Of
party operations in the whole North. From the
beginning. the Democratic party have endeavored
