Yours truly,
HENRY WILSON.
General Wilson is OF those who claim to be- par
excellence conscientious abolitionss His creed
nothing if il does not abolition This is the end-al
and the cure-a of his system To assail the Southto
undermine the constitu,iono repeal the fngitvesye
lawto resist the introduction of any slave States
to restore the Compromise linethrse the
tcles of his belief and these he is deliberately and sol
EMMY committed Let us see how far the of his
policy be reconciled his esutcal pledge against
interference with slavery in the States
He declares in his letter Of the 10th of February thai
there is higher law aud that hs law is to be obeyed
by men in public and private life rather than any human
law in conflict with IT,"
On the I'd Of this same month of February before
immense audience Of aboltonists in Boston,
sonable speech made by Mr. Burlingame know-not
ing abotonist elected Congress from that city and
bosom friend of Senator Wilson, in which the following
passage

sarry slavery Bbie, and anti

Immediately after the speech in which this sentiment
ours Senator Wilson, the who wrote the letter of the
lsth declared, the meeing in response to call
from those present
"MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES, GENTLEMEN: This Is not

Advance party interests the demands Of any State

Thus in one place Senator Wilson procaims that he is
for letting slavery alone in the States where it exists and
in another he asks for "an anti-savery constitution
ant-savery Bible and ansavefy Cod In the latter
place he also declares he will yield nothing Of his anti
slavery sentiments home abroad advance his own
personal interests advance party interests de-
raands OF ANY STATE OR SECTION OF THE CoUN-
TRY
Let analyze this budget of Inconsistencies
AN anti-slavery constitution can mean only the ig-
norng Of the fundamental law because that law recognises
the right Of southern citizen to his property in slaves
that General Wilson, in being pledged to such cons
ton is Of pledged the of the
foes Of the rights of the States.
An anti-savery God and anti-slavery Bible is
the of in6des like Phillips and Garrison who inn
peach the Deity and profane the Christian church, and
cry for and against RELIGION because our cou-
trymen refuse embark in upon the South, as
against God against the Union and the peaceful pre-
cepts Of the Bible.
Amid the orgies OF Boston infdety, abolition is the
only divinity worshpped by the devotees Of Senator Will
1t is in these deus that Burlngame has caught the
spirit Of fanatcal hostility the South and it is this
spirit that General Wilson endorsed on the 81 Of February
last Abolition and in6dei,y 60 hand in hand together.
Senator Wilson tells his letter of the 10Th Of Feb
rusry, that the whole subject Of slavery within State
limits should be left absolutely to State legislation and

hood, he declares shau yield noth,ay Of my ansarery

In Senator Wilson's letter he declares that he fully
recognised the doctrine Of State rights
In his Boston speech he endorses the repeal g The yre
