We sorry 10 be compelled 10 record this
truth. But fidelity 10 the State and her institu-
lions compels to do it. His long article of Sat-
urlay morning proves, in The estimation OF every
man WHO knows what is now going on in the Uni
ted st tes that he an Abnlitlnnist and of tyre
lil;Ie better than that of Garrson's. We know
he lisclaims it-but disclaimers IN tue eyes of sem
siole men, under the circumstances and with the
avowals he makes. cannot nlter the case, or de-
ceve any who are not disposed to be deceived
We do not intend TO discuss slavery-we will do
Virginia no such I'M Justice. Now, when she is as.
sailed from without, and the declaration boldly
made by the States in which there IRE no slaves
that there shall be no more slave StateS-ttat the
power of The slave States must be weakened and
that Of The others made more stE0ne-and that 10
accomplish thus end, not only must no mote slave
States be allowed TO come into TIE Union-but
slavery, as Wharton says in Virginia, Maryland,
and kentucky must be 0tohshe6-and al. lha; the
non'sIaveholdins States may have power to con-
troll the action OF the Government. What is an
a5oIIttoalst IN tie eyes o: every plain mani II is
one who IS for aboiishimg slavery and the mower
and number OF the slave States. THIS is political
GboitfOnism-all WHO are for weakening and re-
d"cIns the numbsr and power or the slave States,
ore A0ollilonIstsj whether unde. the pre;unse o
morality, coed 10 the whites, good TO the negro,
OF favor TO white labor. Wharton avows that his
object not 10 favor the negro-lor he said, that
The had no wish 10 see the negro set free. that he
believed the mkro was better as slave than in
any other condition."
This is the precise type of the poliiical aIo,;.
tlonlSts-of the men who are al war with The
SCulteGn SlHtes-to weaken and 10 subdue them.
