1t may be rocollected that the abolition radicals,
or the aholitioniss pure and simple, made a
nomination for the Presidency at a Convention
held in Syracuse, in May last. They put up the
ticket of Gerrit Smith, Of New York, and of
Samuel McF arland, of Pennsylvania. In one OF
heir organs we find the following bulletin, re-
commencing the immediate holding Of State
conventions to support these nominations =

From this it viii be seen that the radical abo-
litionsts who are in favor of disunion, the sepa-
ton Of the North from the South. and the destruc
ton of the Constitution and the Bible have their
own party, and have set on foot their own move
ments. This party is quite distinct, and is OPP
posed to the supporters of Fremont in the North
1t is singular fact that the aboitionists of the
North avOw precisely the same doctrines as the
niger drivers of the South, who are going for the
election OF Buchanan to the Presidency. All
their leading newspaper organs and leading poll
ticians have been every now and then for separa-
ton. Indeed, the Charleston Mercury, the princi-
pal democratic secession journal of the South has
quite recently declared that every man in that
region, STAKEHOLDER or otherwise is for disunion.
So it seems that the disunion party in the South
is in favor Of Buchanan and that the disunionists
Of the North are in favor of Gcrrit Smith. In
presence of such facts what folly it is for the adj
ministration and other Buchanan organs to assert
that the party which supports Fremont is in ia
vor Of disunion. The very reverse is the fact.
Fremont is the most conservative candidate of all,
and those who support him are quite as conserva-
tive, as their future acts and policy will show.
We care nothing for the vaporing Of Seward
Thwlow Weed, and other agitators, who are
ready TO attach themselves to any party for the
sake of the Offices and spoils that may be got
through its influence. With these men we can
have no opinions or interests in common. Let
every tub stand on its own bottom
