The uRNAL OF CoMMERcK. THE FIRST FoMEs-
TER OF ABOLITION AND SEpyTIoN.-Our smiable
contemporary-the Jow'wal Of Commsree-accuses
rs Of dsrelietion of duty, and vaolAson Of pro-
fessed principles in favor Of the constitutional rights
Of tho South because we do not support the streak
of fat and streak of lean taken from two corrupt
party tickets, and baptized by it with the name of
"Union." A few "reminiscences of the past will
show who have been the most consistent advocates
Of the constitutional rights of all sections of the
Union, and in especial manner, of the righ.s and
institutions of the South.
More than thirty years ago we became connected
with the press of this country; AMI from that period
up to the present day. we have professed and acted
upon the same principles which we now promulgate
on these national questions. Our first connection
with the American press began in South Caroliaa;
and in South Carolina and Georgia, by personal
inspection, we made ourselves acquainted with the
peculiar character of Southern Institutions. When
(about the year 1921 or 1929 the late Mr. Noah
was turned out of the old National Alvocats, we
conducted that journal for several years. under the
ownership Of Thomas Snowden. We commenced
q movement in that newspaper, which brought
about the union OF the Jackson and the Crawford
parties in 1926, and brought out the National Incl
hgeneU against our views and writings, in the
famous articles called "the Signs of the Tines"
We next becsme connected with the New Yo'k
Comie and Enquirer, soon after that newspaper
was established; and in thai journal We pursued
the same course up to the time that connection
with it terminated, when it was induced, by loan
of So, ,567 IS from the United States Bank, to
change its party and its principles.
In 1885, We est ablished the New YORK HERALD
on the same great national principles, and have
conducted it since according to the platform OF
compromise the integrity of the constitution, and
the preservation of the rights of the South.
These are historical fa,ts Now, what can the
Journal of Commerce show! Let US soc.
The doctrine of abolition which is only another
name for sedition, when it is carried into action,
was FIRST pr prgmuJgated by the old federal party of
New England, during the Presidences of Jefferson
ard Madison. The total defeat Of the federal party
in the second election of Madison, in opposition to
Clinton consigned all these old advocates of aboli-
ton and sedition to the silence Of the grave From
that period, 1872 to 1926, when the Journal Of Com
,n9ce was first established here upon antislavery
principles, the country lived in repose, quiet, and
without disturbance. The JOURNAL OF COMMERCE

some Of the same men now connected with the
Journal of Commerce, were the first revivers of the
seditous cry. The establishment of the first North
ern Aati Sl1py Society soon followed the establish
mcnt of the Journal Of Commerce. Fer many
years that paper acted sometimes as an open, some
times as secret, auxiliary Of all those societies for
the propag cation of abolition and sediton, till it saw
an opening wide enough to catch some ofthe adver
tsem ents and Subscribers Of its rival the CoWie and
Enqun9; and then it seized its opportunity, like
hypocrte and pickpocket, to make show of
abandoning its early pre- dections and its early pro.
iecs, for the sake of decoying and aumbugging the
people Of the South. But abolition blood flows
through the veins of the Journal Of Conrm9cej and
as soon its rapaety is somewhat sated by South.

and, in the language Of the Scriptures, "The dog

We warn Southern statesmen and Southern poll.

trescherous, rapacious, unprincipled, and money

fonnenfer of abolition and sediton in the Northern
States, and that preceded Garrison and Seward,
