I This distinguished follower Of w. H. Sc
ward and oil. that school Of political hacks
aliss abolitionistr, 10 going up and down the
Earth iendeavoring to make proselytcs to his
doctrines. He spoke few days since ct
Rock Island to the great edi6cation and de-
l,sht Of . respectable fusion audience for
none Other would give him hearing. There
mAy.hays been, it t. true "A few wings
there Who had never bowed the knee
to lhs idol Of abolitionism of the North, who
had been attracted there more through nov
city to SEQ the man, and hear his extreme doc
trines than to be enlightentened as to the
policy Of his views,respe,ting the question Of
amalgamating the wing party Of the North
Win The free negro party. II must certainly
here bcen. a great treat to the soycreigns of
Rock Island, to have listened to the honest
cSMiictions q the distinguished Representa-
tive from Ohio, or his familiar hobby, dress
ed out IN his familiar language. 1t may
have been necessary for Mr. G,ddings to
leave his own home in Chic, ssand come oy-
or and hclo'' the good citizens oft Prairie
State to liberal opinions on the great question
of emo more slave States'' or the repeal of
Tia fugitive slave law, to crafty the anti re-
publiean ambition, of the fusion or Republi-
ca4,party. d This is the great object of the
organisation of this SO called Republican par
tysansmens insignificant as their attempts
,o.nod1y,or change, one enactment of the
Constitution or even to weaken the faith of
the American people in those same enact
mc1ts, not even of those Of the Northern Or
fres states Of the union, who have an abiding
confidence in the joint concurrence Of the
representative mind, of the nation, and their
l&1lsAiks sctf as .lwell as the impolcy Of
! nosting question long since settled by the
express Will of the whole people of both sec
tions Of the u MON. 'H1T9 a.ea' f@.1"
Besides allowing that the Missouri rcstric-
ton was the key, unlocking this sealed up
qsestien, it will not authorize in the least
the edortsthat are now being made, by the
Seward school Of politicians, to renew the
slAysfy agitation, and to try to arouse the
public mind Of the North, by their infamma-
tory harrangnes to such . pitch of fanati-
cism, q to provoke bad feelings in the South,
respecting the stability ,ofqthose obligations
. sQkmply pledged, llasg a guaranty of their
rights, and as the bond of good faith be
tween these tvs. portions Of our country.-
notwithstanding All, these binding dec.ara-
tions;; there are those like Giddings, who
are sser ready, and willing to cry war iu-
stead cs Pcise, and disunion insteal Of the
eonstitution; and are the first to take the
field, though III Eds '9adore than once, per-
haps, ssS;S q support the constitution with
ell itSeeectments, yet We end men despite
en- cunstances, to further their po-
ltd 6aSsness, condescend to give the lie to
all their pofsssions of duty, and forever
bsvesaud rsdhnish their own history for all
time, by their efforts to persuade their fell
Ion meay that the constitution has no binding
force Fhen inesin conflict with their own
preeosscivesi bnotions of liberty or personal
equality; making themselves the constitu-
tional power, instead of the subject. Such
sts6ngeness Of act, is the result Of fanati-
cslsssfir;t originating in q perversion of
,4sad,s mskipg soptrarics assume the shape Of
realities, ndaeing acts of corresponding char.
