What Is an Abolitionist?

A DEFINITION WASTED.-Inasmuch "a we
may have some discussion with our neighbor
the Chicago Times, before the election in
1866 will that paper please favor us with a
definition of the word "Abclit;onist," as it un-
derstands it? A proper understanding OF
terms Is of the first importance IN any con-
troversy whatever. Will the Times do II;
this favor?-U Chicago Tribune.
The same paper contains an elaborate GU
logy upon the philanthropists of England
who, for so many years, persevered to obtain
the act of emancipation, by which all slaves
were set free in the West India possessions
the owners being fully compensated for theil
property. Notwithstanding the beautiful
philanthropy of theoretical abOlitionistS, it il
no less striking how they vince under the
appellaton. The editors of the Tribune anC
the Press, notwithstanding their anti-slavery
principles, will repel the imputation of being
abolitionists with as much warmth as they
would term of infamy. Tho above enquiry
evidently is sort of preparation for disclaim
ing that term as applicable to them. They
support Chase for Governor of Ohio. In tn,
Senate of the United States, on proposition
to apply the prohibition of slavery to certain
territories. Mr.. Chase was called by Henr,
CLAY an abolitionist; writhing under tn,
term. he inquired OF Mr.. Clay, in just such
manner as the Tribune does now of us, wha
is an abolitionist? We answer the question
in the words employed by Mr.. Clay in an
swering Mr.. Chase;
"Up0n my i0ord, if the Senator does not k1oS
,ohat an Abolitionist means, ,chen he has prac
ticed the doctrine for so many years. I am sur
am unable TO instruct or i9 oTm him. Al
sorts of AbolitioniSts seem 10 oct together.-
There are some more unb.ushing than others
there are some who call themselves minister
of God, who, from their pulpits denounce tn
Constitution of the Union, and dchouuce al
the States in which slavery exists. Then
are two descriptions of persons constituting
the great Abolition movement of the country
If those who avow extreme Abolition will
nevertheless, upon all questions which aris
! in Congress or in the country, array them
selves on the side of the Abolitionists, an,
cooperate with them and support measure
which they support, and if these men ar
those whom alone the Abolitionists will sup
port by their suffrages for offices, call then
as you please, the result-the inevitable con
sequences Of the association--unless it is re
sisted by tie potency of the law and tn
power of public opinion, IS dangerous TO d

The New Orleans papers, some Of which m an
ifest the deepest interest in the success OF the
Mexican revolution, express the Utmost conf
dehce in the speedy overthrow OF Santa Anna.
While the movement OF Alvarez and Comorfor.
in the South is purely Mexican one, aiming
solely at Mexican Independence. the movement
on the Northern frontier seems TO have some con
nection with the annexation idea. This would
account for the greater interest manifested by
our New Orleans cotemporaries in the struggle
in the North than in the struggle going on at the
South.
We hope. in the event of the complete triumph
of, the revolutionists that the annexation party
will pursue judicions and cohciliatory policy
and draw with them the judgments and good
feelings Of the Mexican people. Any Oihel
course, or the violent partition Of Mexico would
offend public opinion I'm the United States, ans
be apt to create serious obstacles 10 the early
realization of the annexation idea.-Ner Yorl

The Courier des EtGis Unis gives a sharp but

"Ifmen of foreign birth now occupy an iso-

Speech Of John L. Robinson.

Hon. j. L. Robinson addressed the meeting
at this place on last Saturday, in a speech of
two hours and half. 1t being his first appear
ance in this part of the State much interest was
manifested.
After few introductory remarks. and a short
replylto aphleipic of the Attica Ledger, personal
to himself, in which the speaker did ample JUS
tce to the christian character, and the gormon-
dizng and parsimonious propensites of the ed
tor Of the Ledger, to the great amusement OF
the immense crowd.
Mr. Robinson then entered upon the discus
sion of the various questions agitatingthe coun
try: giving an especial attention to the slavery
or Nebraska question, Know Nothingism and
the prohibitory liquor law, each OF which receiv-
ed the most thorough and practical review we
have ever heard.
The abolitionists went away with sore heads
many of the prohibitory law men were satisfied
that many Of the provisions Of the bill are wrong
aud oppressive, and of doubtful binding force
Know Nothingism received such castiga;ion
and exposition that many of the honest, deluded
men. declared before leaving the ground, that
for the last time they had acted with the dark
lantern agabonds.-COvington Friend.

Qur Candidates.

At the Democratic Convention here on Satur-
day last. Mr. WILLIAM LAMB, 1.-THE resent incum-
bent,) was nominated for Auditor, and Mr..
WILLIAM Fur, of Cain Township, for County
Commissioner.
Mr.. LAMB has held the Office of Auditor for
several years, aud has earned and deserves the
reputation of being the best County Auditor
in the State He Is well known throughout
the county as a man of strict integrity. His
soundness as agooI democrat, and his ability
to discharge the dulles Of Office with credit TO
himself and his party, and to the satisfaction
of his constituency, cannot be Questioned, and
will secure for him Il triumphant election.
WILLIAM FUER is a good honest old farmer, a
reliable democrat, and abundantly capable OF
filling the Office of County Commissioner. he
has long been connected with the public bust
ness of the County. and is probably as well
posted as to its affairs as any outsider well
can be.
In fact we believe no better selections could
have been made for the two offices. And be.
lieving the people of Old Fountain will have
in view the honesty and capability of their
agents, and not trust their business to unknown
and inexperienced hands, we look forward to
the election of Lamb and Furr as fixed fact.

ANDREW JAcKsoN.-"He denied that An
drew Jackson, if alive, would consent to be
considered as a Democrat of this school, and
insisted that they should be styled the anti
American party"
The above speech was recently made BY a
young and an aspiring Know-Nothing candi-
date for Office. It called forth the following
reply from the Louisiana Courier:
1--WE would like, for the fun of the thing,
to see old Hickory once more in the flesh with
our young friend before him uttering such
language. We rather think the gift ofspeech
would fail the orator under the terrible denial
the stern old patriot would throw back to
him. Are these know.nothings determined
to desecrats the memory of all the heroes aud
statesman OF the past, which is embalmed in
the hearts of their grateful countryInen, in
their efforts to effect their unhallowed pur-
poses? The idea of Andrew Jackson being

victim OF religious persecution? Is this the
virgin-continent which, smiling in beauty and
abundance, beckoned from across the blue
waves Of the ocean to suffering Europe, to
come and find rest and happiness in her arms?
The foreigner came; no, not the foreigner,
the friend, the brother; and he was welcomed
with bloody hands to a hospitable grave.
When the European reads of Kentucky
bullies, who were just as vile as the Croats
in the army of Jellachich, he will not only
stay at home, but will reconcile himself to
his fate by the argument that there can be
no advantage in nominal repubfcanism
which permits murder and arson with impu-
nifty, over despotism which, though it may
restrain free opinion and burden industry, at
least protects its subjects from any other vio-

Growth of the w est.

The tide of emigration during the past
year has set strongly toward the Northwest

cedent II is said that by the first of January
next the single State of Iowa will contain
over half million of persons The Census
of the State in 1850 showed population OF
but one hundred and ninety-three thousand.
In June, 1854, according to the State Census,
it had increased TO three hundred and twen-
ty-six thousand. With such precedent, il
is not improbable that at ths n0xt National
Census the returns will foot up nearly one
million Of inhabitants.
The State of Wisconsin, which is some
what older than Iowa, nearly keeps pace with
her neighbor In 1850 the population wa.
nearly thres hundred and five thousand -
The State census, which will soon be compile
ted, will, according to the Milwaukee Sentinel
show moro than six hundred thousand.

TnE SPADE AND The SwoRD.-If what the
Scripture says Of beating swords into plough
shares is not being literally accomplished. (more
literally, perhaps, than realiy,) at this very
moment in the Crimea, it is simply because the
Russian engineers are not up to the ways in
which the Yankees grade their streets, raise
their railroad enbankments, or in fact remove
masses OF earth for any purpose whatever. The
London Times announces it, in all sobcrness,
that the spade is necessarily a more potent
weapon both with the beseigers and the beseiged
than the sword. The digging of miles on miles
of trenches, with the throwing up of enormous
corresponding earthworks, occupies the whole
strength of both the Allies and their enemies.
In fact everything of former daysse seems reversed.
Whole regiments are only preserved from being
put under ground as dead men, by putting the
earth above them while living, and thus, para
doxically enough, they keep out of their graves
by Jumping into them.
At Fort Brown, opposite Matamoras, general
Taylor raised his bomb proof defences, by
throwing up earth-works, of sufficient thick
ness, on the top of his -four and pork barrels,
with hollow places between. where his men
could lie untOuched by even the bombs and
other vertical shot that might bury themselves
in the earih and burst over their heads In
the same way now the Russians are not con
tent with getting behind their earth-works,
they literally ourrow into them. IL IL earth be-
meath, earth at the sides, and esrth above. How
these men must love their mother earthl They
have even dug in the ground funnel -mouthed
pits in front of every burrow, down into which
each bomb shell rolls it falls, and there it
too is buried alive, and kept by earth from mo-
Testing the men on the only exposed side. The
war seems TO be rather between the guns than
the men, and to choke their open iron mouths,
to disable their stauncheon arms, TO wound and
break the wooden limbs of their carriages
These are now the recorded feats of each days
work; so many guns silenced, so many tons Of
hollow and solid shot fired, so much powder
expended And it is the recoI of all this ex-
penditure that is going to kill more than the
guns at last--to destroy the nations that fire
then.-PhiLadciphiq Ledger.
