care but little for all the venomous abuse which he
may squirt at them Though his clenched teeth.
Abuse from such quarter, is perfectly natural and
entirely consistent with the known character of
Weed, and his associate conspirators. They are
each and all capable Of nothing but making use of

AS consolation, we can inform them that this
movement will not be confined to a single election,
nor TO a single week, nor to a single year. 1t is
great constitutional and thorough determination.

any effort of the aboltonists.
Fol twenty-five years past, the revolu,ionsts,
disorganzers, and demagogues, of whom Weed is
the chief and the blacklist spirit, and Seward, his
agent, have used every exertion to exasperate the
public mind, TO lead it astray, and have advocated
the most monstTous theories. From anti-masonry
in the first place, TO anti-slavery in the last, they
have studously devoted themselves to the cause of
mischief. ard the time length came when il w as

Such paltry tricks and subterfuges will avail moth
ing. The real conspirators have been found out,
their midnight councils have been broken up, and
the people are about to fix the brand of treason on
their foreheads.
