The Richmond Republican thinks it is " time-hgh
tme-that the subject of slavery and abolition should be
banshed from the party politics OF the South" We
have no doubt that the Richmond Republican is thor
oughy in earnes and since its avore has been aban-
doned by the wing party for the favore of VIM.
Seward that would wish the people OF the South to
forget that there is an aboitions in all the northern
States until after next November II the southern people
could be Undue ed shut their eyes the fact that there's
powerful abolition sentiment in the North which has
penetrated the wing party and gained such control over it
as 10 beat down Mr. Fillmore and MIR. Webster and
the wing candidate for the presidency then they might be
induced vote for Winfield Scott But, unfortunately
for the Richmond Republican and its allies the southern
people will not shut their eyes to the picture which is
presented them. They understand the true condition
Of affairs They that the northern wing party is now
thoroughly aboltonized that its organization has fallen
INTO the hands OF such men VIM. H Seward. Thurlow
Weed, Horace Greeley, and VIM. f. Johnston, the lead
ers of crusade against southern institutions and that,
backed by the anti slavery influence, they made General
Scott the whig candidate for the presidency by means
of ireacherous understanding. Seeing and fully APP
precatng these things, the southern people will turn
their backs upon General Scott, and give their
for Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, whom the
abotonsts have sought to destroy because he insisted
that people of the South should enjoy in peace the
rights guaraniied TO them by the observation-disclosures
be has always, even in the darkest hours of sectional
excitement, when surrounded by men Infatuated with
fanaticism advocated faithful observance OF the
mon bond and tue devotion 10 the common brother
hood AT the present moment the wing leaders APP
peang to the abolition sentiment and urging il to oppose
the democratic nominee. Throughout the North, the
wing presses dla,e his while in Congress, in
order to arouse sectional pride and sectional jealousy
and sectional resentment against him, by representing
him as committed to southern interests The Wing Com
mtee 10 this cy-in the very presence OF Gen. Scott
is acting n concert with the abolonists and actively
engaged in organizing every shade Of aboionsm moi
already absorbed INTO the wing party and directing il
against General Pierce The agitation auspices under
which the wing candidate is presenedhs refusal thus
far to approve the Comprehensive significant promise OF
his letter OF acceptance not 10 his official influence,
elected 10 arrest the abolition agitation but rather TO
strengthen and encourage by giving lis friends their
u share Of official power and patronage, and thereby
make the platform 10 which southern wings pretend to
trust worthless abstractonare held up to strengthen
and invigorate the abolition sentiment and urge il
10 the overthrow Of the northern democracy, which
has stood by the Union and the constitution, and
upheld the rights of every section. We would
say to the Richmond Republican that il is "time-hgb
lme-iha the subject Of slavery and abolition should be
bsnshed from the party petite, Of n: North and we
say further that those subjects never be, and
will be, banshed from the party politics Of the North
while large party in the South continues TO act in
cert with men who live by abolitionst agitation, and
who deny all restraints for the unbrided license oil
law higher than the constitution. While slavery and
abolition continue to be chief elements in northern poll
TICS and aboons leaders directing the wing orsanizs-
ton, the wing candidate for the presidency the
southern people would be madmen to fold their in
security and say, at is timehgh timethat slavery
and abolition should be bansbed from the party politics
Of the South"
