rations.
One Of the most noticeable features Of the
doings of the Chase Abolition Convention
which assembled at Columbus on the 18th
of July, was the passage of the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That State Central Commit
tee, consisting of FIVE, be appointed by this
Convention, and that said committee. in
addition to their usual duties, be authorized
to correspond with committees of other
States, for the purpose Of agreeing upon
time and place for holding National Con-
Eeniion OF the Republican party, for the
nomination of President and Vice Presi-
dent"
The words "National Convention" used
in the above are cheat and fraud. The
Republican alias Abolition party has no ex
stence in the slaveholding States. II has
no adherents south of Mason and Dixon's
Line. 1t will, therefore, be a sectional
convention, to nominate sectional, Abo-
lition candidate for the Presidency. Gen
eral Washington, jackson, and al the true
and noble patriots the country ever pro.
duced, warned us Of the danger offcrming
political parties based upon sectional cor
siderations. They took the common-sense
view that the arraying Of one section of the
Republic against another, in the halls of
Congress and the electoral colleges, in the
bitter feelings that il would produce, would
soon lead to dissolution of the Union
Up to the present time our parties, with The
exception of the contemplate Abolition fac.
ton which made a demonstration at Buffalo
in 1848, have been national, and number.
ed their adherents in every State in the
Confederacy.
The parties which Jackson and Clay re-
spectively led were national. From thu
war Of the combinations, though bitter ant
intense, no danger was to be apprehendet
to the Constitution of the Union, since eacl
had national ends and objects in view
For the first time in our history do we wit
ness serious attemptto organize party
upon geographical basis, and to carry
Presidential election by the vote Of North
ern States alone. Chase, Seward and Will
son are the great leaders in what they face
tiously term, "Northern movement" ant
Que of them will, undoubtedly. be section
al candidate for the Presidency. The pui
pose of this organization is war Of aggres
sion upon the constitutional rights of tn
South. It's success would be followed, be
yond all doubt, by dissolution Of th
Union.
No man in his senses believes that IL
Confederacy would endure if Congress, i
.G.cordance with the principles Of Chase, q
expressed in the United States Senate,
his speech upon the Compromise measures
in 1850, should abolish the slave trade be
tween the States. and slavery in the Distri'
Of Columbia; repeal the Fugitive Slave Law
founded as it is upon an express proVlsio
of the Convention; prohibit slavery in all Ii
Territories by act Of Congress, and refus
to admit any more slave States into tE
Union. In addition to this, Chase and Il
