DIsUNIONIsTs AT THE BOX.

The village of Mogadorc seems thoroughly agi-
tated with the question of radical anti-slavery.
The abolitionists there are altogether in earnest
in their desire for a dissolution of the National
Coniederacy with shareholders, and are evidently
determined to do what they can to make their
wishes Enthusiastically manifest to the world. For
this purpose they propose to use the ballot-box,
with other nstrumentalities as will be seen by
the following resolutions which have been for
warded us for publication.
There are two classes of Disunion abolitionists.
First, the Nonresistants, with whom the pro-sla-
very of our National Constitution constitutes but
one count in the indictment against it. They are,
from principle, opposed to all human government
enforced or maintained by the sword. Hence
they would not appear at the ballot-box, under an
unquestioned anti-slavery Constitution, and prob
ably would not deposit their votes to elect n Dis
union abolitionist to any Office under a forceful
human government.
The second class are those who, believing in a
government of force, abstain from voting under
the present pro-slavery Constitution, to save their
own souls from the guilt of sustaining slavery
They have been compelled to this, as all candidates
and parties, whether Wing, Democratic, lold) Lib
erty Party, Free Soil, Free Democratic and Repub
lican, have agreed that the Constitution was pro
slavery, and in also pledging themselves to it
support by tho official oath. The abolitionists o
the latter class may, with entire propricty, vot
for a representative of his own views at the ballot
box. 1t is a question only of expediency. II, il

for revolution and revolutionists. Prompted b.
this consideration, our Mogadore friends hav
commenced the movement, and invite the co-opera
ton Of all who agree with them. In a letter &C
companying the resolutions they say eve wis
20 get up a Disunion ticket. We solicit the coop
Grafton of Disunionists throughout the State"
Certainly it would be better for abolitionists t
r cast their votes for q representative of their owl
principles than for one who solemnly and publicl
promises to let slavery alonc, and who believes hi
! oath of Office to be a solemn guarantee that SLAYER
! in tho States shall be politically unmolested. The
will act more like honest men, to roe fl
: their principles, than to pote against them, as ever
abolitionist must who votes for the candidates c
any of the parties now representing the yariou
+ phases of Ohio politics.
The following are the resolutions referred to
AT a meeting of the citizens of Mogadore, fc
I the purpose Of considering the propriety of di
c solving our connection with and Withholding GU
support from the present political parties, that al
q allied with the mester against the slave, and form
k ing a new organization on the principles of Diss
Q luton from the slaveholding States, and the TO
nation of a Republic with equal rights for all, M
W. Osborn was called to the Chair, and IL. l.. Wis
chosen Secretary.
