Groans of the Abolitionists.

Livery mail confirms the opinion We have
often expressed that the American nomi-
nations at Philadelphia were more distaste-
ful to the Abolitionists than any which
could have been possibly made. All Abo-
htiondom Is In ferocious uproar; every
species of warfare; every kind of calumny;
and all description of missiles are hurled at
the head of him whom the fanatical agita-
tors detest more than they do any other liv-
ing human being, No infamy is tee great,
no subterfuge too small AID no meanness too
contemplate, for the Abolitionists to prac-
tlce, If they can succeed. direcly or indrec-
ly, in injuring Mr.. Fillmore. All the CO.
horts of Sewardism, led ON by Greely, have
but one object in view: the political destruc-
ton of Mllard Fillmore. They will vote
and work, zealously and laboriously, to
elect Davis. Quitman, Douglas. Toombs,
Buchanan. Dallas, or the Devil himself, so
their voting and working enures to the dis
advantage of the American candidate for
the Presidency. Such is the sentiment,
bitter, prosecuting and unscrupulous, which
animates the breast of all AboIitionists
North of Mason and Dixon's line.
The New York Herald, which was strong
and influential in its support of Gen Pierce
in 1852, alludes to the groans and maehina-
tons of the Abolitionists in this wise:
The Seward anti-slavery organs find the
American nomination of Mr.. Fillmore bit

such proceedings at Philadelphia as would
end in the absorption of the bulk of the
Know Nothings into tie Seward alliance:
and that, upon this basis, they had found
ed their hopes of electing Northern Sec
tional Presidential ticket, They we're will

to the contrary, notwithstanding, provided
that these Know Nothings would only bow
down to the same common idol of negro
freedom with Master Stewards Niger
Worshipping conspirators. But the selec-
tion of Fillmore filings the defiance of the
national Know Nothings, at least into the
teeth of Sewardism, and touchesthe arch-ag-
itator IN his tenderest point. Seward = or
gans accordingly declare that this Phila-
delphia nomination is but factious diver
sion of perverse faction for the success Of
the Democratic party. 1t may be SO; but at
a II events it is a movement which clips the
wings of the Abolition Holy Alliance, and
reduces it to its natural dimensions.
Of course the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore
was ga bitter dose" to the Seward organs
1t was intended to be ''bitter Dose" The
nomination of such pure and noble states
man could not be otherwise than bitter
to the rottop hearts diseased minds and de-
PRAYED moral senses of the supporters of
the archconspiracy against the laws, the
Constitution and the Union.
As is intimated in the extract from the
Herald, there is little or no doubt the satel:
lites of Seward thought their prospects were
fair to SO mould the Philadelphia Conven-
ton as to make it subservient to their nefa-
rious views and interests. But they calcu-
lated without their host. Upon counting
their forces they found themselves awfully
mistaken. To their astonishment they as
certained that Sewardism was far below par
was hardly quotable stock-while Amer
icanism bore an enormous premium. And
American stock continued to rise in value un-
til the close of the deliberations. 1t has
risen every day since adjournment-is
rising now, and will reach the loftiest heights
of valuation on and about the first Monday
in November next.
That such woful disappointment should
stimulate Abolition rawlings to the fercest
pitch is not to be wondered at. Well, let
them howl Their misery has just commen-
ced. They have seven or eight months of
suspense to endure, and are then destined
to unmtigated overthrow and defeat. No
man can be elected President who is not
opposed, as strong as death to Sewardism,
although no mans triumph would hurt the
feelings of the fanatics as much as would
that of Mr.. Fillmore.
These being the facts of the case, We con-
clude it would be best for the interests and
honor of the people of the South to vote. en-
masse, for Millard Fillmore. The chief
object of Abolition animosity would be safe
custodian of the constitutional rights of the
Southern States.-N. O. Crescent.
