They profess only to try to limit
it to its present boundaries They are hypo-
critics in this, because that object accomplished
would be Of no practical consequence, and
have no effect upon the character of the al
legged evil they seek to remove. Wegivc them
credit for hostility to slavery. We think their
party was organized on that basis. They say
so--they talk so, and such is their destructive
attitude and life. They are called abolition
ists-they are abolitionis Now, to say that
they ore making all this fuss merely to pre-
vent the diffusion ofslavery, and not to destroy
it, when they deny the obligation and force OF
laws which sustain it, is simply absurd.
They have adopted as an article Of their
faith that slavery is moral and legal crime,
and that laws made to sustain it are profane
and void. To give effect to this theory we are
compelled to infer that they seek its destruc-
ton. There is but one way to do this, and that
is the overthrow of the constitution. That in
strument recognizes slavery: it is therefore
void-State laws are void for the same rea-
son; the government Of the United States is
usurpation, and the abolitionists are fighting
the battles Of independence. Here we are,
in the midst of revolution, in which the old
patriots are transformed into tyrants, and the
Stewards and Garrisons are the true heroes Of
humanity.
Thus we have view Of the issue presented
to the people of Maine, Ohio and PeEnsylva-
MIA, at the elections just closed. They prefer
the constitution to disunion. They repudiate
the abolitionists as factionists and enemies to
all our great interests. The magnitude of the
crime which the traitors have striven so fierce
| ly to commit-their alliance with European
despots to effect it-theif utter and signal
overthrow, as whole, at the elections, we trust
| will be received as lesson by thousands of
the open mouthed felons whom an indulgent
public has permitted to degrade the American
name by contesting at the polls the integrity
| of the federal constitution.
As society is now constituted, the negroes
are we'll cared for and protected. They are
effective producers enrich the country
| they add largely to the commerce of the
world-they stimulate the industry of foreign
States-they sustain our great Northern manu-
featuring establishments-they maintain an in
ternal trade which has no parallel in the his.
tory Of enterprise. The basest metal has a
value when separated from others, which it
loses by alloyage even with the purest gold.
Both are deprecated by the union, because
they are discredited in the compound form ;
and such is the answer which the people of
Name Ohio and Pennsylvania have returned
to the criminal appeals of the abolitionists for
the destruction of the government of the
Union, with view to the amalgamation Of
the white and black races

The telegrsphic dispatch from Judge Trum-
bull, the new Republican L. S. Senator SUIT
fcitntly demonstrates that the election for State
Treasurer was not political Issue, and that the
strife for members Of Congress and of the Legis'
lsture were the absorbing questions. The Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer of Illinois
withdrew on the eve of the election and was
chosen to the Legislature; consequently, ex-
Lieut. Gov. Moore Dem was reelected, with
but nomisal opposition on the part of Mr.. NIL
Ter, a volunteer candidate. Judge Trumbull also
indignantly denies ell connection with the Know
Notbirgs. TIE statements Of Judge Douglas,
and Mr.. Stephens, of Ca, are thus efectually
contradicted BY the successor of Gen. Shields in
