sparkle and enchant but to warn soothe or ell

unwilling to pay for this teaching, have under our

The National Era and the National OrganiZa-
ti0nS.
The National Era, the special organ of anti-savery
located at Washington city, and conducted with more
tact and ability than any paper in the Union devoted
to that party The Era of the 9Th inst, contains an
able and pointed article, mapping out with distnctness
the policy in all probability, likely to be pursued by
the anti-slavery party The object contemplated and
desired is the defeat of the Democratic ticket and this
is not left to be inferred for it is openly avowed the
reasons assigned for it, and the policy indicated by
which it to be accomplished 1t is because the De-
mocrac party is pledged by its convention to sane
ton the admission of Saue States and to resist all
attempts to renew the agitation ofthe question Of Sa
very, no matter under whatever shape color and
because the candidates of that party Pierce and King
SANCTION ana approve tnOSe resolutions.
The anti-slavery organization Starts with the admis-
sion that it does expect to carry single State
it relies upon the moral power which three hundred
thousand votes, consecrated to the establishment of
Principle, would exercise over an administration in
part brought into power, by its management and poll
cy. This is the basis of the organization and its plan
of operations we propose to give in detail
| Gen. Scott, though the nominee of National Con-
vention, is almost in fact Sectional Candidate he
received according to count only seventeen South
ern votes, and according others, but thirteen Civ

ward Sectional Candidate, the choice of the free
States. It'll not province enquire whether any
Southern delegate approached by the Seward in
uence and betrayed into the support of Scot-wheth-
offices promised or consideration was tender
ed and accepted. We leave this labor to Wings and
we point the reader to the mass of testimony to be
found in this paper under the head ofhe Whig Press
Admitting that all was fair and free from corruption
and bribery, yet Scott still the Sectional the North
ern candidate and his election, if elected will be Sc
cured by Northern sectional infuence-by those who
are opposed to slavery, opposed the admission of
new Slave States, and opposed to the extension of
slavery into our new territories This is bevond all
Controversy, true The abolition organization de-
veops the fact that Pierce and not Scott is the man
to defeat, and hence the Era says the Convention to
be held at Ptsburg should select if possible candi-

possible vote and secondly with view to p E,

The object then is, to frame ticket that will draw
eff from Pierce and King the abolition VOTE and Sc

The aboitonists prefer Scott to Pierce, and the
game is to be played again. which resulted in the de-

FUTURE not sure but our safety is to be finally
wrought out through series of eats, accomplished
by these very means. So long as the South adheres
to her organizations and the weight of the wing party
is thrown into the South and the an-slavefy

Northern who true to the constitution and
the equality of the South clear that sectional agi-
tation cannot be allayed that fnaes are worthless,
and that the three hundred thousand votes
ted to the development ola Principle are not without
their influence, and that hostility to the South aided
and upheld by Southern men. That this is true no
intelligent man will for moment deny Look at the
instrumentates employed to defeat the South In
no Southern State has Scott got well organized and
efficient party. Prominent wings throughout the en-
tire South announcing their opposition to him, be-
of the known influences by which he is governed
and controlled and for the farther reason that he is

We say, that Southern safety may yet be wrought
out of series of defeats and disasters more sutfy-
