Gle thus quoted, by the by, embraces an
argument to show that the New York
Barnburners are still acting with the
Abolitionists, based on the fact that
Senator Salmon P. Chase, and his out
and-out abolition brethren, who one and

and the Democratic platform during the
late Presidential election, continue to
hold out against both to this day. Again

pose the purpose of the ultra hard faction
of New York to be war on the Admins
tration, if the latter will not prescribe
the dominant wing of 'the party" in
that State, while the latter stand straight
up on the platform. What more proof
of this fact is wanting, after the Demo-
erot argues gravely that the Barnburners
are not acting in good faith, because Sal
mon P. Chase and his allies still refuse to
endorse the platform!
