ABOLITION FUSION IN THE FIELD.
The pero is rapidly approaching which is most

first time in the history of country the contingency
has happened which threatens those geographical parties
SO soemnly deprecated and denounced by the Father Of
his Country An organization has been developed in the
North which publicly reposes its lever upon the fucrum Of
hostility to the South 1t would be madness for to
deny either the existence the extent of this organza

the northern know nothngs the bulk Of the wing party
The temperance party, and the potco-regious sentiment

cratic partyat noble brotherhood, which pledged to
the constitution of the United States and is will

The most extraordinary event of the tmes-hough, with
all the indications that have pointed to 1T for six months
past scarcely say it has been unexpectedis the
complete surrender Of the northern know-nothngs to
this fanatica FUSION with their vows to the Union fresh
on their lips The Philadelphia platform of that party has
utterly rcpudiaed in the North is only advocated
in whispers by few politicians who seem to have lost
whole manhood before the conquerng genius OF abb
oitionism. The nationality of the order has become a
bitter mockey One by of its leaders in the free States
have been slenced subdned Its presses have also
yielded in rapid succession. We scarcely hear of Mr.
of Pennsylvania Mr. Barker of New York. and the
other leaders, noisy against Mr.. Seward and Governor
Johnston few weeks ago They to have died, and
made no sign.
If we turn eyes to the wing press to the silver
gray" national wing papers, hardly can be discov-
cred the from the shame of completely with
Qths widespread coalition The Philadspha North Ameri
can STEPPED the eyes in the fusion. The Buffalo Com
necia Advertiser, Mr. Filmores organ, long ago raised
its voice combination between the knownothngs and
the ree-soiers against the democratic party the New
York Courier and Enquirer has utterly changed front
as to declare daily its willingness to unite with Garrison
against the South the editor of the New York Express
running for an Office and from all sides the
Cincinnati Gazette is advocating Chase and his abolition

camor for the slavery fusion in Massachusetts, and the
course of the Atlas is indicative OF the direction of the whole
New England wing press, WITH possibly single excep-

from chrysals Of freesolism into the blown glory
of aboitonsm. The wings of oil shades having thus
been submerged in the fusion their anacal masters have
things entirely their own way.
What renders this servude 20 abolitionism the more
extraordinary moreover the part OF the recStac know
nongs and the national wings is the fact that there is
of either of these two sections who does not
know and feel, not only that he is accepting doctrines
which he has recently and repeatedly repudated but also
that he placing himself the power of ogarchy OF
inexorable tyrants the abolition eaders-of those who
arc bold enough compel aid from all quarters of the op
position force contributions and subsidies from every
shade of faction and then reject and degrade the

upon their lips the abolition leaders appeal the other
branches of the opposition. They say the wings who

up the reputation of the party by the southern
States and the necessity of adherng northern feelings

exclusion from power to the corrupt they offer place and
patronage. And with such party, bound together by

OF the old wing leaders outside Of this coalition how

who has not measured the depth of the danger which 1t
