Aggressive AboIition--W iison Its Candi-
date for the Presidency. t
The recent revival of the sectional question,
aud the refusal Of some secedcrs to 80 upon the
conservative platform of the American party,
has encouraged the Abolitionists in an arrogant
and aggressive policy. They discard every
other issue, and invite all men, without question
of creed or nationality, to join their standard,
and embark in nm open war against the institu-
ton Of slavery With this alteration in the
policy Of Abolition, it has become necessary to
change its leaders, and select men adequate to
its desperate purposes. William II. Seward
has long been regarded as the certain nominee
Of the sectional party. He represents the
milder type ofanti-slavery. Like O'Connell, ne
relies upon bloodless agitation; he wishes to
keep up perpetual nausea at the public
stomach thinking that it will relieve itself
after while by throwing off the annoyance.

ouences Of desolation and disunion which may
spring from violent disruption of the ties Of
property. He wishes to carry the prejudices
against slavery just 80 far as to secure him in
The Presidency. He would then, perhaps,
abate somewhat of his fanaticism, because he
would not like the Union dissolved during his
term. But, under this change Of policy, Mr.
Seward and his system bid fair to become
obsolete. He can no more compete with the
"bloody instructions" of Wilson, than Lafay-
cite could have perpetratcd the crimes OF Robe
snierre. We remember he was reproached
with want of moral courage when, for short
time. it was thought that the Free-Soil Gov
ernor of New York had been defeated 1t has
now become fatal objection to his further
elevation. He has besides subjected himself
to some positive disqualifcations. He has de-
nounced the Know N othings and those of them
who have accompanied Wilson upon the plat
form Of Abolition cannot be brought to forgive
him.
We may speak in parenthesis Of Mr.. Hale,
who. having employed himself during the in
teryal of ostracism in lobbying for Colt and
Collins, has iobbied himself into the Senate
There he will throw summersets make grim
aces, and vince under the whip of any ring
master. Perhaps like Brutus, who passed
also for a buffoon, Mr.. Hale may employ his
dagger in the assassination of the Union. MIR.
Chase contents himself, for the present, with
the preparatory exercises of gubernatorial
contest In this he incidentally makes known
that he advocates total emancipation upon the
continent, from Baltimore to Brazil inclusive.
But the demands Of aggressive abolition have
brought forth an agitator far more desperate and
dangerous than either or all Of those we have
mentioned Bold when boldness is polite, artful
when concealment promises to be more effec.ual,
adroit in impressing upon the popular memory
the catchwords Of prejudice, gifted with an earn
est eloquence, and, above all, endowed with
capacity for fostering personal or sectional ha-
tired, which neither time nor Cancellation can
soften, Henry Wilson is the champion Of abo-
lition. He is to lead its conquering columns,
or stricken down as desperate conspirator; and
deterted by his more timid companions, he is
to oIpiate with an eternal igpominy the crime
Of having attempted the destruction Of the
Union.
Let us consider tho bold yet ingenious course
that Mr.. Wilson has marked out for himself
and his party he boasts that he has encoun-
tered the enemy and brow beaten them in their
own peculiar style. One Of his hcnchmen de-
poses and says that, being at the Philadelphia
Convention, he heheld furious Southron place
himself In front Of Wilson, with cooked pis-
tol, and then and there menace the said Will
son with instant destruction; notwithstanding
which, the latter proceeded to handle the South
and It's ussges without any mitigation or allow
snce whatsoever Then, Mr.. Wilson has said
that he win keep all the States within the
bounds Of the Union; nor will he permit one
to withdraw upon any prctencc. lie moreover
says that whereas he has heard--having perhaps
told the same story himself before--that certain
Senators propose TO come EARNED to the teeth"
which means nothing but that they viii have
their argument at their tongues end he, the
said Wilson, gives notice that he and others
will be prepared for any personal or politi-
car' extremities. After this display of the
danger, and of the prowess necessary to meet
il, we cannot doubt but that Mr.. Wilson will
be the General of the Abolition army in 1856.
Indeed he the only one of the asprants who
is honorsd with any militia title whatsoever.
fatal defect in his competitors; for in the
first engagement Seward would be found pray
ing under baggage wagon, whilst Halo would
perhaps hide his head in champagne basket
General Wilson, then, viii be the candidate Of
the Abolition party, and will perform all the
deeds Of desperation appropriate to the ser
vice. Indeed, we think Seward ought to re-
consider the r1ro0ram,na and d;roc+ 49,. 1910
