The Expiring sp.sm. OF Van Buren Fres-soiiisu,.
The following extracts prove that the reign OF the
dog STAR for the last few weeks other cause has
lent large Of virus TO abolition, if not to canine
fury These precious morceaur OF taken from
the New York Evening Post--a journal as malignant IN
its abolition spirit its stupidity will allow. II is under
the control Of and is in part edited by ornament in
politics. finance and morals from the Van Buren, house
hold Ii has all the cant aud Juror of other abolition
journals without their apology for sincerity and is 80
proverbally meretricious and beal in its spirit, that no
who truly appreciates its character can attach any
consequence to it's declarations We should not notice
at this time but for the fact that its specific false
hoods may find their way into some paper not, like
the Post totally destitute of all generosity and truth.
From the commencement OF the unhappy ag'laons which
have so eafuy distracted this country, and caused the
wise and the good of all parties, and in every section OF
the Union TO trembe for the safety of institutions,
this fanatic and prohgae sheet has exered its puny e
forts to sow The seeds Of sectional strife and discord
throughout the land And because Mr. Senator Dickin-
son has sought uphold the principles OF the constu-
ton and maintain the integrity Of the Union, rather than
to foster its spurious and incendiary abconsm !, has
pursued him Tor years. at once with the ferocy and the
meanness of the hyeaa. But Notwithstanding its as
saults and in spite of its denunciaons, the course
of Mr. Dickinson has been most heartily approved
by the masses Of the people in and out OF his
State and this exponent Of abolition sedon and reach-
cry, and its aposate and dsgraced family clique instead
of seeing him crushed under their malignant calumnies,
ave behed him honored for his BY his political
friends in the Empire city What have but the

the proudes festivals which rendered to pub

Post clique more nloerabe they him received upon
the occasion by the authorities of the ctyhs political
opponents public honors and ceremonias Finding

are equally false and more meanly malignant, we are

| The city Of New York, it will be recolleced, has
amongst other vast enterprises some four or hive lines OF
mail steamers communicating with California, Liverpool
Bremen and various other parts OF the world, owned by
several companies and numerous individuals and invol.
wing the outlay of many millions Of dollars. These
lines contribute largely to the commercial and other bust
interests OF that city, and all respects, in their
relations to the city and State and the country large

comparatively small part in OF the lines
and as he is at the head OF the leading democratic
paper of New York. and advocates Mr.. Dicknson's
election instead OF hopeful scion Of Van Burenism. and
as Mr. Dickinson has, It seems two occasions, when
resolutions concerning these lines of mail steamers
offered by representatives of rival ces, asked the ord-
nary observance OF the rules OF the Senate this circum-
stance pitfu is is seized upon and interviewer with
calumnies of the undyng hate OF Van Buren, abolition
ism, charging sinister motives upon Mr. Dickinson and
other senator's for the purpose Of using it in the New
York political campaign. We will take their charges and
