One Oi the Noist anu hi0'e disgusting fes
tuSes of the Abolition tactic1 in conduct;, !,
the present campaign, IS the utter abana. on.

times past, been Identified with the IN mo.
cratic party. In their former relations with
the Democracy, these journals were araone
the first and most Jealous to defend Mr..
pr-'NAN against the stale and senseIess
CHARGES that hs,- been rung through all the
changes of which they wcc::c susceptible, FOR
the last quarter OF a century. IN direct con
tradiction of their former statements, these
- converts to Abolitionism are now re-
fres- -ndofsipg the silly falsebood that

Sub-Treasury Bill, in thu res Of the

laboring man to ten cents a day. oieo~-
the supporters of Mr.. BUcHANAs pay ou'
little heed to such silly tales, for the s'mp'e
reason that the people were long ago maoe
ACQUAINTED with their base origin and their
total lack of truth. So fully were they met
bv Mr.. BUCHANAN himself, on the very spot
where they were made, and to the face oil the
very man-"Honest' CD JOHN DAvIs,of Mas

no one Who possessed the least particle OF
self-respect or acknowledged that there was

them.
Immediately after the nomination OF Mr..
BUCHANAN by the Cincinnati Convention,
when this "ten cent SANDER" was repro
duced by the mere scaEengerS of the opposi-
ton press, such papers as the New York
, Tribune, Cincinnati Commercial and Boston
) Chronicle, and Others who were ashamed OF
a resort to means so foul and disreputable,
warned their less scrupulous allies Of the
$ falsity Of the charge, and besought them to
: abstain from making it. They saw that il
$ could result in nothing but Injury to the

When such papers forbear to make use o
