as Stewards and further, that il elected to the /
pupernatonal Office, he will, in his first report to
the Legislature, denounce all attempts to rekndle
The fires of agitation and condemn all who are dis
posed 10 do so. This may, may not be true;
but if true il exhibits Mr.. Hunt in rather an un.
enviable light. II shows that he wants to be
elected by trickery, for if such are his real senti-
ments, and be declines TO avow them, il shows
that he wishes to avail himself of all the abolition
influence, in order to secure his election.
But these things have not, in reality, much to do
with the election which will take place next month
in this State. AS Far as the principle at issue in
the coming struggle is concerned, it is quite mma-
terial whether Mr.. Hunt did or did not vote for
granting half million of dollars for the relief of
the starving Irish, during the famine which over.
spread that country, whether Mr.. Hunt does or
does not admire the Irish character All these efforts
to secure votes in favor of the ticket nominated by
the Abolition Convention at Syracuse, are nothing
less than appeals to the people of different
classes to enlist in the ranks Of the disunionsts,
and to deposit their ballots not in favor of the
stitution and of the Union, but against both;
bark in a conspiracy against them, and to wage
war against the South This is the issue which
the people will be called upon to decide at the
next election in this State, and Mr.. Hunt having
been nominated by the Abolition Wing Conven-
ton, has become thc most prominent standard bear
er in the ranks of the disunonists.
The importance of this matter will, we hope, not
be overlooked. We fear for the result. Let Hunt
and his associates be elected, and in the present
circumstances of the country, we believe that it
will be the deadliest blow the Union that it ever
received. There is disunion party at the South,
the birth and organization of which originated in
Northern fanaticism on the subject of slavery. 1t
is increasing in force and numbers every day and
every hour Moderate men are joining itsranks,
and boldly avow the mseves opposed to remaining
any longer in political connection with Northern
fanatics and abeliiionists, who seem determined to
incite civil among them, and to endanger their
lives. If the Seward influence should succeed in
this election, the die will be cast, and we may pre-
pare for the disastrous scenes which are sure to
follow. The following letter from gentleman
who at one time opposed the late john O. Calhoun,
on account of his ultraism, shows the progress of
the spirit of disunion created By Northern abolition
lists and fanatcs:-
