Of slavery.
Under this head the cabinet organ OF the 10th instant
attempted 10 weaken the effect OF our late article showing
the OF the parties in New Hampshire in refer
the subject Of slavery by its usual resort to petit
Jogging bubble when the writer supposed that would
answer and downright alsehood when quibbIing would
not enable him 10 gloss over and evade the facts Cir
cumsances beyond our control have prevented an earlier
notice OF the article alluded in the cabinet organ Nor
do we now intend to reply to it at length Weproyed con-
clusivey BY the proceedings OF the legislature OF New
Hampshire, BY the message Of the only federal gov
ernor whom that State has had for twenty years,
and By the proceedings Of federal conventions in that
State, that the fedsralss first introduced me subject

and that the allied federal abolition party, with

governor,) and others Of the same political stripe at
its head, which is responsible for the passage OF the
resolutions which copied into our former article,
and the act multiplying the clause Of the constitution

Congress Of i793 by which that compromise in the
stilution enforced These measures wee Me begin
ning of the direct sOar upon the institutions Of The aoue
holding States, commenced by The federas Of that Stale
and since then perssvringy persisted In BY them This
fact the cabinet organ could not deny evade Neither
downright falsehood would answer, nor was quibbling
OF more avail
The cabinet organ also charges with grossly abu-
sing JOHN p HALE, JAMES WILSON, and AMOS Tuck" We
charged these gentlemen with being aboloniss and with
being the active instruments OF this warfare southern
institutions commenced and waged by them and under
their auspices in New Hampshire We no,o again charge
them nth being abolaionsts, and challenge them 10 deny
it, they have the courage thus present themselves be-
fore their constituents They dare not deny the i'm
putation nor dare they authorize denial Of it,
And yet their consciences do not prevent them
from giving their support to administration at
the nominal head Of which is man who owns some
two or three hundred slaves We will go further. (be-
cause we know them we.) and charge that neither OF
them cares any for the slaves whose bondage and
suerngs they all pretend much to depoe before their
constituents in New Hampshire than the African chiefs
who make it business to capture their wooly-headed
brethren and sell them into slavery We make this addi
tonal charge upon all Of them. because know them
well, and because men mbued with proper sentiments
Of truth and honor would scorn be guilty Of the hypoc
sy Of pretending to be aboloniss before their const
uens at home while they do not hesitate support ad
Shareholders Of the South.
But the cabinet organ attempts to evade the force OF
the exposition which we gave Of the Of parties in
New Hampshire and the North, by the reiteraton Of
fasehood which we have, its conductors nell know,
thoroughly refuted and put down. is the charge pre-
fered by that print that the junior editor Of this paper
voted for the Wilmot Proviso. We have once
shown that the vote we gave to which the writer in the

war, before Mr.. Wilmo, became member of Congress,
and before the Wmo Proviso was introduced or heard
Of in that body Under such circumstances, reteraton
Of the fasehood coined by the editor would be
expected from man Of truth, however common such
pary tricks of prevarcaon may be in the columns OF
that paper. The to which the editor audes was
given the bill for establishing government for the
Territory Of Oregon 1t was given in the session OF Con-
gress Of ls44-45. And it to the effect that slavery
should not be established in that Territory, all Of hic
cas aboue 80 deg 80 min. OF north latitude which is the
line OF the Missouri compromise Some sixty members
OF Congress from the slaveholdng States also voted for
that bill on its passage through the House AT the same
session not only voted for the Missouri compromise
line in the bill for the annexation Of Texas, which was
finally passed. but introduced bill for the annexa-
ton OF Texas containing the Missouri compromise We
neper gaze pote IA opposition TO the principle OF the
Missouri compromise. Now, all these facts we have
once taken pains to establish beyond the power OF truth
ful contradiction, by the journals OF Congress The
writer for the court organ knows these facts, and vet
hesates not TO be guilty OF the base and dishonorabe
act OF charging with having voted for the Wilmot Pro-
vso We again pronounce it wilful and premedtated
classification Of course, which none but habtual
and shameless faser would demean himself so much as
to repeat
There is but little else the article OF the cabinet organ
deserving OF notice. II makes extract from speech OF
Mr. Stany, Of the House Of Representatives made some
ten years ago. in which Mr. s. referred to an article in the
paper which ten years ago conducted to show
that there were in New Hampshire democrats, who ia.
vored auslavery principles, whom we cautioned agains,
getting entrapped in the meshes Of the ederasts, who
were then acting in alliance with the abolitionss We
called upon Stany to read the whole article, which he
declined to do We have the article before us and will
now make some additional extracts, showing conclu.
