01rCol Cobb said that Raymond ofthe N Y. Times,
denied being abolitionst. Col Cobb is we'll in
formed he is familiar with, or should be, the
term Abolitionst, and he well knows, should, how
it is applied to parties and men, We use the term as
general expression, and apply it indiscrimnately to
all classes of who opposed the extension of
slavery to territory free. There two distinct
parties in the Northern States, the Abolition
party proper the other, free soil party. The form
er party not only oppose the extension of the nsttu
ton but thew insist that the Federal Government is
bound to withdraw from it its protection everywhere
in the territories dockyards and arsenal and in the
District of Columbia. They maintain that wherever
Congress possesses the exclusive power of legislation
it should nhbit slavery by law The latter party in-
sist that Congress is bound prevent by law, its
tension into territory Free To the first class Gid
dngs belongs to the last, Raymond, bat neither of
them acknowledge being Abolitionsts Raymond
points to Giddings aboltionist Giddngs in his
turn, points to Raymond Dough-face. We call
them both Abolitionists.
There is yet another Glass; and is growing class.
This class that the constitution is Compact
with Hell, and League with the DEVIL and it
upon the institution within the States These the
| Higher-Law men, who draw their reason from
scrptural version prepared by Claiming and taught
Wayand. They insist that the moral is higher than
the governmental obligation, and that where the law
State is opposed to the law of God. that the lat
ter is paramount, and the former must fall.
4 Gddngs never denounces this class; he co-ope-
rates with them so does Seward in some matters,
though he holds with Giddngs he operates with Ray
mond and Greeley, believing he achieve more for
his cause by working with of the great parties,
than by laborng for the growth of a third party
When Col. Cobb says then, that Raymond denies
being Aboonist he tells what the North,
but Southern men apply the term Abotonists to all
who belong either party, for the simple that
they all are working with the end in view, but
by different means--they all look to the eventual
/ overthrow of slavery within the States.

0E7-It very amusing to hear Col Cobb lecturing
the wings of this city the other day. We had come
to the conclusion, based upon considerable ex-
Il perience that the wings of Columbus, were not only
well informed class, but that they were sagacous
and reading class and what is more, that they read
: and think for themselves We had thought too, that
they eminently capable of understanding what
they read qualified Judge correctly of all the
issues of the day. and that they prepared to de-
eide which way duty themselves, and their country
called them to vote We were surprised then, hea
Col. Cobb lecture them in good round terms telling
them that they had listened to their enemies and had
e failed thereby to DO Gen. Scott justice. He appealed
n to them as wings to rally. Now submit with all
