MEssRs. EDIroRs:-You committed an error the
other day, in stating that the publisher of the Abo-
lition National Era, was stakeholder in the Amer
lean Organ, the Know Nothing paper Of this city
Y GU should have said that VIM. ". Blanchard, (who
is an avowed abolitonist,) printer Of the abolition
Era is or was, a stakeholder Of this concern to the
amount of $500. Discovering your mistake, M.
Ellis, the sole editor of the Organ, addressed note
to Mr.. Baily, editor and publisher OF the Era ask
ing him whether any one OF the propretors of the
National Era part owners of the Organ, or had
any interest or sympathy with that journal, know
ing full well that Mr.. Bailey would answer No, as
the sequel proved. This was most abortiye at
tempt to screen the Organ of abolitionism. here
assert that Mr.. Blanchard, Selby Parker, and b.
p. Worcester, known to all here as aboitionists,
were onr ceeks ago, if they not now, stockhold-
ers in the Organ association to the amount OF $500
each. Blanchard prints the Era, Parker keeps a
fancy store near the National Hotel and Worcester
writes for the abolition press Of the North is the con-
hdent of the abOlitonists who come to ashington,
and for time local and Geographic reporter for
the Organ. Since Mr.. Ellis has had his hand in
any manner connected with or interested in the pub
LEGATION Of the Organ newspaper, let him write to
the aholtionists above named, and ask them wbeth-
er they ever had an interest in his paper. He may
say they have no interest in it; but this will
avail him nothing. They had an interest, as can
prove, if Mr. Ellis dare deny the fact, if they have
not now. If Blanchard and Parker have interest
in the Organ, they have only sold out Or transferred
J
have charged that abolitionsts part owners of
the Organ, This has been done that the abolition
ism OF the Organ may not injure KNOWN othingism
Messrs Editors, call upon the editor of the Organ
to write to Blanchard and Parker the sureties of
Chaplin, the slavesteaer and ask them if they
not part owners OF his paper if these abolitonists
did not help pay him for bis services editor the
We learn to-day, from Dan'l Radcliffe, ESQ.,, eoun
sci for Chaplin, that David A. Hall, VIM. v. Blanch
md Salft tx,rA f Oh,
stockholders in the American Organ, were sureties
for Chaplin, who was arrested for stealing negroes
from this city. The record of the criminal Court of
this district, proves this fact II Mr. Ellis denies
it, will produce the certificates of respectable cit
liens of Washington, to prove what we say. Will
MI. Ellis own up, or back down? We shall see.-
Sqaires Goddard and Mossell, and Mr.. Birch, Cap
tain OF the Guard Of this city, and Messrs. Toombs
and stephens of the Congress of the United States,
Will, it written to, let you know something of the
connection Of Worcester, Blanchard and Parker,
with Northern abolitonists.
Ring it in the earsof the people of Va, that K Moth
ingism abolitonism in disguise. Every Senator and
Congressman who has been elected to Congress by
Know othng votes, is an open, avowed abolition-
ist. Who is Wilson, Turnbull, Seward and Durkee
Every one abolitionists. Read the resolves of tho
Massachusetts and other Know Nothing legislatures
against the Nebraska bill, the Fugitive Slave Law
aud Slavery generally, and you will find Know
Nothingsm fully developed.
We had sample OF the abolition tendencies OF
Know Nothingsm at the National Hotel in this city
last evening. in controversy between Sellers of Ma
ryland, and Oliver Of Missouri, both heretofore
Wings, Sellers, it will be remembered, is the would
be Know Nothing champion of the House; while Oil
yeris an anti know- Nothing. Oliver with bold
denounced the new ism, while Sellers in
his bullying style, defended it. Oliver was adj pluck,
which cooled OIL his hot-spur opponent. In this
controversy, Sollers who comes from slave state,
and is elected by slave votes said that tarery ras
to Uarydnd, and riH stand to this assertion
to the shedding Of my blood" This is the spirit of
know y othingism.
II the liberals Of your State desire to triumph in
the Coming contest let them organize thoroughly and
exact pledge from every voter to out and
for Wise, rain shine. The secret of Know Moth
ing success is its thorough and complete organiza-
tiOn. LIBERTY AND TaUrH
