In accordance with the signs OF the times, ana /
the tendency of the course of the abolition wings,
we have hosted the ma es of the candidates who |
will, in all probability, be nom mated one OF these
days by the abolition wings OF New York and the
North, at the next election. for the Presidency
and Vice. Presidency. We have not hoised
them, as political editors do, exactly with the view
of supporting these distinguished state black
or white; Just the reverse. We shall pose their
doctrines, their Influence, their power, and their
election the best of our ability now, henceforth
and for ever.
Abolitionsm and socialism are both now inden-
tilted, under the auspices Of Seward, with the wing
party in New York, and we shall discuss them at
length during the canvass and contest that are be-
fore US. In Europe, European socialism DESTROYED
the prospects OF sensible republic in France, IN
Germany, and in Italy; and by the Reorganization,
and ultraism, and immortality, and irreligoa, and
wick edness of their advocates, the opponents OF
free government established military despoiisms
in those nations of stronger and hrmer character
than any which previously ruled IN that quarter OF
the world. American socialism, now IN i!s incep.
top, no in its first movements, under the guidance
OF William IL Seward, the socialist candidate for
the Presidency, and Fred. Douglas, colored man,
their candidate for the Vice Presidency, nay pro.
coed slowly, and take long time 10 produce
its results, perhaps five, ten, fifteen. or twenty
years, but It's political consequences viii be pre-
cisely the same this continent those of Euro
pean socialism Europe-the disruption of the
great Union republic Of the United States, and the
erection Of military despotisms all over the free
States, and one great one for the South. The
anti-savery element, the leading principle Of
Stewards socialism, is slowly but surely undermin
ing The whole North, corruptng public opinion, sad
destroy ing the veneration which has been fell for
half century for the constitution; is overriding
all constitutional scruples; is proceeding with
pace certain rs the tide rises and time flies, in
driving the Southern States into secession and dis
union, and to cover the whole continent with d.
turbance, disorder, civil war, and military des-
potisms.
William Il. Seward, the political exponent OF
this principle in the North, is the leader,
and very powerful and influential leader,
of this party, and their chosen instrument,
10 carry out their views and produce these re-
! suits He is assisted by able, INSCRIPTIONS, ia
tented, and reckless men, in the pulpit as well as
out Oft, in the newspaper press and at public meet
ngs; and he even makes the President of the
United States and his whole cabinet, from their
moral imbecihty, subservient to his wishes, and
aiders IN his designs. Thurlow Weed, James
Watson Webb, and Horace Greeley, with all
their associates, and the several journals Of
which they are the reputed conductors, are
more or less engaged and pledged to him in some
way; although some Of them, from mental incapa-
city or vanity, may not see the results which such
lead TO in the politics of this unhappy nation
William ii. Seward, the great American social
ist, and representative of aboiitionism in its first
and last phases is, probably, of the ablest and
mos, efficient politicians that ever arose in this
State. Without the virtues of John Jay, or Alex
ander Hamilton, of the revolution, he has nearly
all their talent, combined with the recklessness
and tact of Aaron Burr, combination which has
already superseded the fame OF De Witt Clinton,
or The POLITICAL sagacsy Of Martin Van Buren,.
Seward has carried the Governor and Senator in
this state; and, unless in the next election the in
elligence, the intellect, and patriotism OF every
sensible man, from Buffalo to New York, be
awakened 10 the crisis, the foundation will
be laid, by another popular victory OF the
abolitonists, for the utter and positive alena-
/ ton Of the South from the North, for the de-
struction OF this Union, and the total annihlaton
Of the prosperity and commercial wealth of this
great metropolis, and of every town the line of
our canals and railroads, East and West. What
have the silver greys done They have exhibited
deplorsbe weakness, imbecility, and folly. What
have the union committees accomplished They
have collected funds, published speeches. and made
Themselves ridiculous by their inibeeility in va
nety Of ways. Il is now time for the intellect and
intelligence OF this metropolis, and of every CON-
mercsl village OF this STATE, bethink themselves
Of the situation Of this republic, the extraordinary
progress Of William II. Seward, and the dangerous
movements Ct the socialists Wake up, for we are
in the beginning Of great campaign, which will
lat for years, and which will end, either in the
triumph OF the Union and the constitution, OF the
erection u military d.spotism over It's remains.
