The Union argues that John Adams as well
as Thomas Jefferson was vehsmently opposed
to the abolition agitation of his day, and dis
cussing the editorials Of the InselItgsneer on
New York politics, says:
o. Its chief witness Is one Of the most malic.
nant hounds of abolition in New York, the
EreHtng Post, paper that howls as bitter
Iy against the Union as the reasonable Tri-
bune itself-a paper that has been universally
rejected by the democracy of the country
FOr ourselves, We are free to say that the reso-
lutions of the Syracuse convention do not 20
so far as We should have liked to see them 20;
and the same may be said of the Democrats
wao previously met at Utica and nominated
Mr. Bronson, for upon each body strong influ-
erees were used to prevent any expression In
favor of Nebraska; but this much is cor, ain :
that the ridiculous and desperate attempts of
the Evening Post and National Intelligencer
to make capital out of these results will only
end In inducing all liberal men to ask: II the
course of the New York Democrats on Nebras-
IA has not been decided enough, aekeys,
In the tchofs North and Vest, Is there a
Whig conventions that has dared to 20 half
so TAR IN support of tho great pr1neiplss
,mrofred tn that bull? Where Is there
Whig newspaper that has done it, Where
IS there Wing leader that has done it p
me lnt'iligsncer sdaily enlightsning its read
ers, through endorsed extracts from other
journals, that the South has been cheated by
the Nebraska bill, and that the new Terrific.
Iies are to be free; and yet In the same breath,
We see that there is not whig in the North
bold enough to cut loose from the abolitionists
5y taking Practical, common sense ground on
the subject of the Nebraska bill On the con.
uary; the abolition party has taken captive
the wing party of the North and the Intelli
gencer tries to break the force of fact so sg.
nihcant and Wsighty by seeking out in demo-
cratic politics miserable exceptions to the dem.
ocresie rule OF devotion to national princi-
pies. The case Of New York which it cites, if
properly regarded, makes against itself; for
the democracy that met at Syracuse, in the
Feso'uhons they adopted upon the Nebraska
Dill, oy that act lost the extreme anti -slavery
mca who had been CO. operating with them.
ara VINO left the convention proclaiming that
the Nebraska bill had been endorsed. No such
anoe can be produced from the whig party
In TIE free States In that party all is gloom
anu darkness-sll il abolition and faction all
rs hostility to the constitution; and yet the
National lntelligencer, q paper protesting to
De true TO The constitution rallies under a
banner which can only be carried to triumph
over the ruins Of tho rights of the southern
States
The Sentinel urges that the Hards of New
YORK are far better Democrats than the Softs,
taxing care, however, to say nothing in this
tNebraska) connection-to utter not word
eoncerning the position Of Nessrs. Wheeler,
feck' Psckhsn, Oliver, Maurice, DC
1he Intelltgsneer insists that the Northern
wings are quite as good allies for the South

'as Northern Democrats, either wing of them !;
and also hat there is, after all, no scarcity in
thi'i seasons crop of breadstufs which need
create alarm.
