WEDNESDAY, MUkNlNG, NO\
ABOLITION RAWLINGS.
Greely, of the New York Tribune, howls like
ba1ed wild beast over the result of the late election
in New York. He is evidently enraged because the
Wing party there were not allowed IS free discus
sion" as heretofore on the subject of Slavery; and
his conclusion is, that il this discussion is to be en-
trey discontinued the Whig party of the free States
will be disbanded and broken up. He concludes one
of his articles in relation the election as follows:
"For our own part, living within the very shadow
of the temple wherein the god Cotton is worshiped,
we defy the priests who ofciate at the altar to do
their worst. We tell them from the depths of our
souls we hate and abhor Human Slavery, and every
institution, law or usage whereby the poor and feeble
are racked and ashed to make them minister to the
pomp and luxury of the wealthy and powerful. We
tell them that feel that the soil tread is desc
Grated, the air we breathe polluted, by the inhuman
save-hnnts which an ill.considered compact, made
when fathers themselves virtually savehol-
ders, compels US not to oppose by any other than
moral resistance. We tell them that we will not be
instrumental in forcing back into bondage those who
have escaped therefrom; but while we would dis
suade ali from violent resistance 10 any legal mandate,
we will ourselves cheerfully 60 to prison or bear any
aid to consign innocent fellowbeing perpetual
bondage. We tell them that a very large proportion
OF our feow-citizens share convictions and emu
late our determination; and that the time is not dis
tant when no man (and much less woman) can be
hunted like beast of prey through the Free States,
ing liberty. Gentlemen of the Union and Safety
Committee if you mean 10 silence all utterance adj
verse to Slavery and Saveholding in the Free States,
your task has hardly yet begun!"
Bah! The &" ill-considered compact - which our
fathers made! This is the language of either knave
or fool; but Greedy is not a fool. He has late
y travelled Europe, where he saw, with his own
eyes, the abect condition of the white man, bowed
is and broken beneath the iron weight of thrones
privileged orders, and immense national debts. Mr..
Greedy knous, or he may know, if he WILL that the
African slave is in better condition this day, both
physically and spiritually, than millions millions
of the laboring population of Europe; and yet he
goes to Europe, writes book of travels, and
here to slandcr his country-to revile her noble
institutions-to down her character, far he
can, in the eyes of the naons-to utter sickly la
mentations over the African slave-and to blacken,
SO far as he is able to do SO, the fame of those illus
trious men who framed and adopted the Federal Con-
stitution! For our part, we honor those men of
| both parties in the free States, who have united
against such fanatics and demagogues as Greedy,
Seward, and Weed. We pray for their success. The
current of the battle for the Union, and for the inap
preciable blessings won for US by Washington and
his associates is now running through the free States
and all eyes here will look to see which flag comes
out from the contest with victory on its folds. Ii
the friends of the compromise triumph in that quar-
ter all will yet be we'll; but if Greedy, and Seward
and Weed, and those who sustain them in their cru
sade against the Constitution should obtain the as
tendency, we may at once despair of harmony ant
of the continuance of the Union of these States.

DESTRUCTION OF SHIP BY WHALE. The fol
