Not an Abo1itianist. Ell !

The ChllIfc0the ADVERTISER mus ue-
.monstrates the obsurdity of Chase's de.
NAL of abolitionism
No ABoLrr1oNIsT Chase and some
of his confederates on the State Ticket,
are stumping the State and Indignantly
denying that either one of them is AM
Abolitiouist. This is very much like a
confirmed drunkard denying that he is
a drunkard, or that he drinks more Ii
.quor than is good for him.
"No Abolitionist ? In what manner,
then, does Chase profess to be more
worthy the support of the people than
either of his opponents By his indig-
nant denial that he is al Abolitionist,
he gives the people plainly to under
stand that he does not propose to release
one negro now in slavery. Neither
Governor Medill nor a single candidate
on the Democratic State Ticket propose
TO enslave one negro 10 free, nor do
they advocate the propriety of such a
thing; and yet Chase's friends have the
nmpudence to assert that they arc
:" Slave Democrats" To our compre-
aension there seems to be no difference
in the views, on the subject of slavery,
between the man who does not, by act
or by speech, advocate the enslaVement
of free negro, and the man who takes
special pains to deny that he is in favor
of releasing from bondage one negro who
is now in slavery. Now, it follows, as
an inevitable consequence, that if Mr..
Chase is a more thorough anti-slavery
man than Governor Medill, he must be
in favor of such q policy as will free the
negroes now held in bondage. Other
wise there is practically no difference
If Chase and company don't want to in
terfere in the subsisting relation between
master and slave, why do they prowl
over the State and do their utmost to
excite embittered feelings against slave
holders? Shall we be told there is no
purpose is this, and that purpose is not
the eonsumation of the darling scheme
of reasonable Ab~olitionism Such a
conflict in profession and in action won't
answer, Mr.. Chase. The man who is
disposed to treat his immediate neigh
Dor honorably, and not to interfere with
his democratic relations, and not put
himself to the trouble to do all that lies
in his power to embitter all his other
neighbors against him nor will man
who is not an Abolitionist join in a mad
crusade against the South. To suppose
that he will, is great absurdity.

August 18th, 1855.
DEAR Sin Last night, about III
o'clock, the Catholic frame church of
this place, was made a pile of ruins. A
keg of powder was put under the build
ing, with a train scattered along the
street, which was fred with burning
shavings. There is no doubt here that
the incendiary deed was committed by a
set of Know Nothing rowdies, such as
have just wrought devastation in Louis
vile.
I trust for the welfare of our country,
that the better class of the American
people will soon awake to q proper
sense of what this awful spirit of blind
prosecution for opinions sake, is fast
leading to. The better class of Know
Nothings here, appear to look with dis
gust upon these terrible proceedings ;
but who can tell whether they are sim
cere? The real friends of religious
liberty in our community charge, with
out reservation that the destruction of
the Catholic Church, is n more of the
fruits of the Know Nothing Crusade
