Ab0litiOnisnr.

Democratic newspapers which are fond Of
coupling Know Nothingism with Aboiionsm,
ought to publish the following resolution adopted
by the Democratic State Convention of Ohio in
February last:
"Resnlved. That the people Of Ohio, noc, rs
then haze ai,cays done, lock upon slavery as an
evil and uniavorable to the development of free
institutions, and that entertaining these senti-
ments, they will at all times feel it 10 be their
duty to use all po,cer clearly gicsn by tie Terms d
the national compact, to prevent It's increase, tc
mitigate and finally to eradicate as eriis"
Let them not forget to state also that even the
famous Senator Wilson declares himself opposed
to going beyond the Federal Constitution in his
efforts to suppress slavery. He and the ohit
Democracy occupy pretty much the same plat
form on the subject. VIII Southern Democrats
repudiate the latter.
