More Proof Of the Abolition Conspiracy.
The Hon Mr. Wilson entered the American
Order in the disguise Of an American. He
failed TO peryert II to the purposes Of disunioD,
and he now proclaims that there is chasm
between him and that order wider than that
which separated Lazarus from Dives. He en-
tered the Convention with the quiet guile Of
the serpent; he now goes about like roar
ing lion.
Hear him:
Senator Wilson, OF Massachusetts,, Is just now on
tour, out West-making abolition speeches, as
he goes along. At Cincinnati, on Tuesday even
ing abiding TO the slavery resolutions In the Ma
tional Council, at Philadelphia, from which he was
seceder, he took occasion TO say;
4" A recent effort had been made to commit a
new and rising party to slavery in the Convention,
ut philadelphia but thanks 70 the resolution Of
few, the baffied treason was exposed. Bstioesn
them and that party there Uas noW a high raH and
deep ditch, and they should rejoice just rs much IN
its dsfeat, as IN that of Pierce and Douglas.
/" While they were in favor of freedom and free
soil, wherever man lives under Gods heritage
they were willing to leave the domestic institutions
OF the States to themselves; but wherever not by
State Law, but by act Of Congress, slavery existed

Some Southern gentlemen would no doubt
threaten to dissolve the Union, and boo-hoo party
would be got up but Virginia alone had two hun
dred pledges at Washington for the preservation
of the Union. There we're two hundred sons of
her first families holding appointments and Offices
there As long as these would continue to feed at
the public crib, the Union was safe.
They did not intend either to 60 out Of the
Union, or be driven out nor to let anybody else
60 out The Union must be preserved to secure

Bold words Mr.. Wilson don't intend to
let anybody go out of the Union. Who made
him door-keeper? We should not be surprised
to see new question in American politics agi-
lated. That question is the right of the con-
servative States to expel from the Union such
fanatical disturbers of the peace as those New

The weekly Organ to Clubs.
MONDAY. JULY is, 1856.

In consequence Of the liberal patronage which has
been extended to the Anerican Organ, by its friends
throughout the Union, and in order to promote to
the fullest extent the growth Of American principles,
the propretors will hereafter furnish II at 81 year
per copy, to all clubs Of ono hundred or more. At
this low rate Of subscription, they are confident OF
receiving large accession Of subscribers to their
present list which now reaches $4,000 copies, and of
extending, in corresponding ratio, the advance
ent Of American principles in every section Of the
country.
An induoement is, by this arrangement offered to
newspaper agents. Booksellers ststioners and Others
10 act az agents for the american Organ, and 70 the
present notice we accordingly invite their attention.
