Truman smith and his Allies.
In our article yesterday, exposing the hypocrisy and
fasehood Of the hue and cry attempted to be raised against
the democratic party in the cabinet organ, by Truman
Smith and the junior editor OF that print, account
Of its alleged coalition with northern abotonsts and
free sosrs, we omitted one important and essential
fact which is, that Truman Smh himself oues his cleo
t,on 10 the Senate Of the United States abolition uoss
He never could have been elected without such aid, as
we have the best authority for saying. Indeed, we are
informed that he his friends obliged to to
considerable management and nesse, in order to secure
sufficient aid from the abolioniss to make up for the de-
lection Of wings, whom he personally obnox
ous And this man. who ntrgues for abolition votes TO
his election to the Office Of senator. who votes in
Congress for every abolition proposition presented to
that body, who falsely Eve beeve) affirmed that he had
letters in his possession pledging Gen. Taylor not to
veto the Wlmo Proviso thus imposing fraud upon the
people Of the Norh-this has the presumption to
charge the democratic party with forming coalitions and
alliances with the free sellers and abolitonists OF the
North in order to embarrass and break down General
Tayors administration. When he in this city last
summer engaged in electoneerng for the administration,
and receiuing pay for his services from the og eorrup
ton fund.- at The rate Of eight dollars day, he then
engaged in this game Of deception upon the people Of
the South, by getting up and ranking pamphlets into the
southern States, setting forth the same description Of
fasehoods and impostons which lie and his coadjutor
date Of the Boston Atlas promulgatng through
the columns Of the Republic
Their plan is, to induce the people to believe that the
democrats and abotonists have. formed coalition in
Congress embarass and break down General Taylors
administration, when both Of these veracious worthless
know that more than two-thrds of the aboonsts and
in Congress the active political friends and
supporters oil present administration and the remaining
portion Of them playing into its hands and serving il
eectually by their opposition and hostility 10 the
democratic party. Who are more violent in their hostility
to the democratic party and its organization than Preston
King and David Wilmot' And who rendering more
efficient services to the cause Of federalism than those two
members They oppose all the ancient and time honored
usages Of the party and its organization and candidates
They doing all in their powert break it down, and
TO render the triumph Of federalism easy and efec-
tual. With whom do they sympathize but federaists
and renegades from the democracy We know not the
degree of regard which they have for the administration
but il is certain they have nothing but hatred and host
ty against the democratic party II is the conduct OF
such aconsts that has temporarily defeated the demo
cratic party and thrown the government into the hands OF
its enemies And il is certain that those faconiss and
their afhators will, in the end, either openly join the
enemy or sink into the obscuriy and contempt which
their reachery great and noble and party
richly merits,
We speak only of such faconists as King and Wmot
who. pretending to be democrats, make upon the
democratic party its organization, usages and candidates
We are aware that there is difference Of opinion in the
democratic ranks with regard to the subject Of slavery,
which. we trust. may be settled BY honorable compro
mse but the catholic spirit Of democracy recognises
and respects individual opinion. and leaves it unmo.
lesed when those differences Of opinion are not sought
to be ntepoaed into the party creed and prescribed
party tests.
But all such factionsts as King and Wimot, who do
seek to interpoate their factous and denagoguica sen
mens into the creed OF democracy, who erect themselves
into third party, and make war upon the democracy
and who thus render more efficient aid TO federalism than
they should march straight the enemys camp,
and 6gh, under his banner, the democratic party does
repudate and disown and il better for the party to
remain twenty years in minority than 10 be longer
troubled with the eachey and hostility Of such factious
unscrupuous and hostile demagogues They are the fit
and appropriate coadjuors and allies OF Truman Smith
and the administration in making war upon the democra
Cyl and we intend that their position shall be fully known
to the country.
