ing Of The subject, and many Of whom had been
perhaps instrumental ID forcing this very sla-
very upon them. An Interference too that might
light up their hearihs with the horrors Of ser
vile war.
flhe aboIitionists should desire an opportu-
nifty 10 give some proof of their sincerity, and to
turn their zeal to some practical account, the
condition Of tho free.negroes in the slave states
now offers them such an opportunity.
Tho whitening, bligbting influence of aboli-
tiorism has operated peculiarly hard upon this
class Of our population and it must be evident
10 every one that they cannot much longer re-
main in the slave states aud enjoy their liberty.
In few more years at most, they will all be
compelled TO leave the slave States or go into sa
yery,e I,e-..,1 r
Now If the abolitionists will devise some plan
by which they could provide for the removal
and comfortable settlement ofSall free negroes
and all such slaves as might be manrmitted for
that purpose in some of tho free States, they
viii give more convincing proofs Of their since
rity, and effect more for the freedom Of the ne
grees than they will ever de- By their Rafting
defamation and their insane publications.
After the free negroes were all removed and
comfortably settled, and their philanthropy was
not exhausted, they nigh; give still more com
vincing proofs Of their sincerity, by contribu-
ting literally toa fund for the purpose of ppur-
chasing the freedom Of such negroes as they
could buy, and removing them to the free States
and providing for theme They might buy
young negroes, and educate and fit them for lib
erty. We should like to see the next abolition
convention make some sucha movement. No
doibi Syracuse, Chicago, Worcester, Buffalo, and
all those places would be glad to increase their
population by receiving them, and they would
keep up generous rivalry, amongst themselves
as TO which could secure the most for citizens.
As these places IRE willing to afford an asylum
to the painting fugitive" it would be SANDER
on them to say that they would not be equally
willing 10 afford an asylum 10 all such as'might
obtain their freedom in legal manner.
There are some 100000 of slaves in the
South; some $l,200,O0O,000 invested in this
species of properly. Those who expect the
South to sacrifice this immense sum, all at one
fell swoop. for the cause of negro freedom,
ought to be willing to bleed freely themselves.
But to return TO the Presidential election
We have said many new elements viii enter in
to this election. In The North, the Seward, OF
higher law Wings are making strong efforts to
organise a sectional party AGAINST the present
administration. In the South, old party lines ap-
pear to be entirely obliterated, and the two par
ties of Wings and Democrats appear to be mer-
ged into that of Unionists and secessionists. 7
In the North, there is a manifest tendency on
the part of the Democrats and Free Sellers TO
coalesce. What influence these different phases
that parties have assumed may have upon the
next Presidential election it is difficult to con-
lecture. ~
: We conceive it to be the true policy of the
Wings to present candidate Of enlarged and
statesmanlike views, one who will know no
North, no South, but who win execute the laws
faithfully, without respect to localities, who is
above the suspicion of abolitionism on the one
hand, or notification on the other-one who
can command the confidence Of the whole coun
try. Such man is Willard Fillmore. He has
administered the government in such manner
as to win the applause Of many of his political
Opponents, and TO disarm the opposition Of all
theahonest and liberal minded of the Democratic
party. No doubt many trading politicians will
denounce him-they woald do so if he were as
pure as the angels of heaven. The abolitionists
will denounee him with savage and Hyena-
like ferocity, ebut the truly conservative oleall
parties, in all sections, viii rally to his support.
There are many Wings that we would freely
support but none with more perfect confidence
than Willard Fillmore.
