seus' IL sen. OF itself MIR. Rantoul to the u. 8.
Senate, and it was the coalition of Damocr,., ~.
and Aholitionism that elected the violent Aha.

the Know Nothines of Massachusetts. in this
respect there IS this to choose IA a marty

Nothings IGNORE the negro" whereas the Mas.
sachusetts Democracy, in about all of it's con.
'entions, pledges itself to Abolitonism ont
right. To abjure Massachusetts Know Notb-
lnglsm, then, in order to throw ones self into
the arms of the Massachusetts, Democracy. is
vertao,y jumping out Of the frying pan into the
nre. massachusetts, in any party's hands, is
Propably now Abolition. The State. nnder
wing auspices, repudiated in 1850 her greatest
statesman, Daniel Webster, and Faneul Hall
shut Its doors against him. The Massachusetts
Democracy sent two Abolition Senators to the
senate OF the United States, and the Know
Nothings can do no worse.
The whole truth of the matter is. that tho
American party in the North is attempting IN
natonalze itself, and the fanatical aboi;tion;st.
VINO have cfept into it there, az they have crent
INTO every party before it, are becoming enrared
ana desperate. We learn that the anti-slaverv |
resolutions passed by the Massachusetts Com. |
venton were not adopted until after those IN. ,
posed to them had given their advocates hard
suuegie. Ihis fact shows that, even in Massa-
cn =, where nearly every man, woman and !!
child are almost wilc IN their opposition to ala.
very--even there, a large portion of the Amer;-
can party is strongly opposed to the agitation
Of the slavery question. We do not suppose 1
mere ever was party before in Massachusetts /
q winch any attempt was made by q respecta- T
Gle number OF its adherents, to quell the SLAYER
agitation, and this, with many other facts.
which might be cited, should be sufficient a.

American party is the Union party--the Con-
'ututonai party--the Conservative partv---ofI
