CONSOLIDATION IS ABOLITION.

1t is we'll known that of the grievances COM
planned of by the Hartford Convention was the three
hs principle by which the slaves of the South are
counted in spportionng the members of the House
of Representatives. The Southern Democracy had
put its foot, time and again, New England Fed
eralism-the power of the South in favor of free
trade, State rights and an economical government,
had been felt and was remembered by this assembly
of traitors and hence the commencement of the

States. -.rs.. .-.-.
John Quincy Adams defeated in 1928, mainly
by the strength of the Southern Democracy; and this
defeat implanted feeling of revenge in his bosom
against the South, which never ceased to manifest
itself from that period to the day of his death. He
entered the House and became the champion
of the right of petition; and he kept up the fires of
Abolition until they spread into fame in all the free
States. This the result of his construction of
the Constitution-revenge was the spur under which
he acted. lie claimed powers for the Federal Gov
eminent which, if they had been granted originally,
would have made it a consolidation and Abolition
was the natural consequence of this claim.
1t is notorious fact that all the members of the
Hartford Convention, well those who symPa-
thzed with its objects and schemes, were either Alb
olitonss bitterly hostile to the institution of Sla
very; and it is fact, also, that the line of success
sion has been kept up, and that, at this day, those
who apologize for the Hartford Convention are Wings
and Abolitionists of the blacklist stamp We alude,
of course, TO the free States. We find in the last
Washington Union a communication from New
Hampshire, giving account of the late Democrat

the combination which was there formed with the
view of rejoicing John p. Hale; and We gather
from this account fact, which goes to confirm the
remarks just made as to the nseparabe connexion
between the principles of consolidation and Adolf

ton vas composed of Federalists and the present
Wing party descended in direct line from the old
Federal party. The anti-Savery principle has been
the life and soul of the Wing party of the free States,
for years. 1t has controlled their action, insued
and injured the Southern States, and has been the
prime cause of all the troubles and difficulties which
have grown out of our Territorial affairs, and which
threatened at one time to destroy the Union ITSELF
Consolidation, or in other words, Federalism, is
Abolition. The best and indeed the only plan for
Perpeuating the Union, and for ensuring repose to
the South, is to restore to power that party which
has stood from the first on the platform of the Con-
stitution and resisted all attempts to WELD the gov
eminent against the rights and peculiar institutions
of the Southern States. That party is the Democratic
party. which was founded by Jefferson, adorned by
Madison. and restored by Jackson in 1928. This is
the star that led the people out of the gloom which
surrounded their interests and hopes i'll 1874, and
which gave lustre and glory to the Administration of
the lamened Polk. Other luminares may change,
