Know .Nothings and Abolitiorists


SEWARD, GREEDY, WEED. and other noted Abo-
liton leaders to show how intense and determn-
ed their hostility is to the Know Nothing move
ment. We have now 90 cite the opinions of prom
inent leaders of the Abolition party in Massachu-
sets, who are equally severe and pointed in their
denunciation of the mysterious order Among
the numberis the Hon. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS,
son of old Quincy, and who stands at the head of
the Abolition phaanx of Mas sachasett-. IL has
lately made a savage and elaborate attack upon
the Know-No;hing party; and in the National
Erd-the Abolition paper at Westinghouse
find letters from the Hon. ANASA WALKER, the
candidate of the Free Soil party for Lieut. Coy.
ernor Of Massachusetts, for several years, and
d.. CALEB Swan. Of Eaton, Of the most nc
tive and influential members of the Abolition
party Of that State. We give some extracts
from these letters and invoke the special atten-
ton of the voters OF Virginia 10 them. Mr..
WALKER sets out by affirming that just al the
time when the slave power found itself in tight
place, after the rereal Of the Missouri Comwo
mise, Know Nothingsm took the field, secretly
and silently organized il force sand then entered
the public arena raised such a hue and cry about
foreigners" aud kicked up such dust about
Northern people-irere turned Of in a INHERENT
direction. That is, the Northern people, by
reason of the Know Nothing movement. were in
duced to abandon agitation upon the subject Of
slavery, and give it the goby MR. WALKER

so clearly and pdipab4 Pro Sl1rerg,that all true
men, irho in graf numbers connected irih II,

do so already. Multituacs have been deceived
who the moment they discover whittier they rre
drifting, will abandon and denounce the organi
cation. That think will be the ease in all the
States especially here IN Massachusetts, If |
thought otherwise, should lose all faith in hu-
mainly. am confident that there are m truer
or more reliable Anti Slavery men thnn some who
here belong t0 the Order; aud am equally sure,
that when they find the mach merry of the organi-
cation is to be used 10 suppress all active Anti
Slavery effort, they will at once withdraw from
it, If the new organization could be kept intact |
and all the frightfnl energies uf an cath bound
and secret Institution, extending it, ramifications
through the whole country could be- brought into |
effective alliance with the Pro slavery element of
the nation, should certainly bid farewell to all
hopes for freedom Because | fully believe that
