The Abolition Charge.


1t is rather amusing to see any supporter
of President Pierce turn up his nose at abo-
ltionists and Freesoilers, and especially to
hear him call good Wings, abolitionists' De-
cause they will not turn traitors to the norm
and ask the South to please spit in their iaces'
We hardly know which to scorn most, arab
i'd, red mouthed abolitonist, or blue nosec'
snesking, cringing Northern doughiace.-
They are both objects Of loathing to any
honest stomach. Shake them up in bag,
and neither OF them would come out first, II
they supposed respectable men were watch
ing the bag, and knew it's disgusting con-
tents. Three-fourths OF these Locofoco ed
itors and leaders, are just such contemplate
doughfaces. They talk about abolitionists
and Fres-soilers! They of all men, they the
supporters of Pierce, they the hackers of an
administration which has distributed more
Offices among abolitionists and Free-soilers,
which has done more to strengthen that fac
ton than all other administrations combined
have done-thsy to talk about an amalgama-
ton of Wings and Free.soilers!!
Why. for no other reason under heaven
has the Pierce administration endorsed the
Nebraska measure, than because its peculiar
ly affsctionate course toward the abolition
or Free-soil faction, had Disguised all North
ern men not Of these factions, and all old line
Democrats, and exasperated the South to a
degree that rendered it essentially necessary
the administration should take up with some
thing on the opposite tack, TO win back her
favor. The Wing party never did show ia
vors to any abolition faction, nor will it ever
do so. If it suits Free sellers to entertain
the same opinions with US on any question,
they have as much right to their opinions as
we have, and we no more become Free-soil-
ers than they become Wings, by agreeing on
question of commo interest to all c,sses
and secis and parties. But the present Dem
ocratic administration only few months
since Disguised its own hackers, and divided
its own party, aud secured the bitterest lie.
