The Unity Of the Abolitionists-Tne True
Issue md the Recent Elections.
The disunion issue forced upon the people
| by the abolitionists, and put upon trial by the
recent Northern elections, in Maine, in Penn
| sylvania and Ohio, has resulted not so much
in the defeat of the combined forces of the
American and European anti-slavery league
as in the signal triumph of the constitution.
| We may as well narrow down the battle
| ground of the conflict TO The free States. 1t
isby them that war is made upon the federal
government, and by them it will be sustained
| or overthrown. The result of the elections re-
ferred to assures rs that the prevailing senti-
ment Of the Nortb-the predominant and con-
| trolling public opinions decidedly and un-
mistakably against the aholitionists. They oc-
| cupy solitary post in Ohio, where one OF
| their chiefs assumes the reins of government
after losing the entire majority OF his party
of last year, of more thar seventy thousand
votes. Another such victory would drive
them from out of every Office in the Union
make them an object Of contempt on account
of their numbers, as they aresnow of scorn and
hatred by every patriotic man in the republic.
We cannot fully appreciate, the glorious re-
suits of the elections referred 20 without rccur-
ring to the actual position and the real pur-
poses of our, abolition assailants, nor can we
too often callpublic attention &c the fact that
powerful party-the great mass of them, at
least-heretofore known as wings, have for
maly united with the abolitisrists in an
ayowed crusade against the federal constitu.
ton. Let us look CT them
They profess to Labor solely te ,prcveut the
extension of slavery in the public Territories;
their real purpose is 70 abolish it everywhere.
| They are not prohih..ionists- they are aboli-
tionists; they seek not 20 limit, but to ,dertroy.
| They have been party for twenty-five years.
In all that time they have assailed slavery
| in every conceivable form-they have
| openly attacked and derided the con-
etitution--they have hegcely denounced the
government-they have inpiously invoked the
rengence Of Heaven upon,i., because ii recoe.
