OnROKs "a GNEELI.
II is generally conceded that the
y. Y. Tribune is justly entitled to all
the oIium Of originating and keeping
alive more anti-republican doctrines
than all the other presses combined
The editorial corps Of that paper Is
composed Of twelve men, and many of
them Vi great talents, extensive infor-
nation, and cscl, one has his particu-
lar hobby, to which he devotes all his
study and research, in matters Of a So
cial and political character; all uniting
upon one sentiment Of abolitionism,
and an insane hatred Of everything
South Of a certain geographical line.
Grcrly is the 'o,crslralowin. ruler OF
these unlcrIings, and is a concentra-
tel embodiment Of every crude and
unpracticablc theory Of political and
social reform. .Sor;aiism, with all its
danning iInmoralitics Communism.
with its impossible harmonies Of gen
eral and joint proprietorship in proper
~, which is considered IA robbery, url-
der the present social arrangement ;
Spirituaiism, with all its morbid and
reason destroying cxcitemcnts, produ-
cling an increasing crop Of lunatics
.Iboiitiomism, with its anarchical cru
saIc against Union, tolcrating Afri-
can Slavery Free Lorasm, with its
dcbauclicry and its 'lcbasing obsccnitles;
and rank Mf,iei;'y in matters Of re
ligious belief; with Ma"e Ln~isw,
and every other conceivable ISM which
tends to dissolve society into anune"n
trollablc association of men Of all colors
and conditions, without the restraints
Of human laws; where no prc-cmincncc
Is acknowledged, and no indictments IN
ambition are presented. The great
talents which are employed in dis,em-
mating these theories, cause them t"
b. read, and the Immense circulation
Of the Tribune AMONG Nu1thorn Aboh
tioni,ts, gives the paper an influence
which Is doing more to corrupt the
u,as.es, and weaken their patriotism,
ihcir love Of morality, Of tho Bible, Of
the Constitution an.l OF the Union,
llianaIl the other d;nnnihy agencies en-
ployed to ruin this great Republic
Every clergyman who dare preach the
Gospel according to the teachings Of
st. Paul; every College which dare
exclude -ALolitionism from the role Of
It's instructions; every tract society,
which Will not become propagators Of
the abolition creed Of the Tribune, is
attacked with a yiruIcnce and a pcrsis-
tcncy which is almost intoIerable. No
fabrication is too mOEstrous to he re-
icctel which can he made auxiliary to
the great purpose Of abolishing Slavery.
With the increase Of abolitionism
Increases the circulation and influence
Of this paper, and the present political
contest has presented precisely the
state Of things the best calculated to
bring out all its energies, talents and
influence A candidate has been nom
mated 10y the Free States alone, for the
Presidency Of 10th free and slave
States. War against Slavery is the
"nly weapon used in the conflict and
no favors are a-keI or expected South
Of Masons aud Dixon's line.
The assault upon Sumner has been
nra-nificd into AN affair Of such impor-
lance that its readers would imagine
that the whole chisalry Of the South
were cut Threats and cowar,lly bandits,
and the passage Of the Kansas and
Nebraska Bill ha. afforded it a vast
field for deliberate pcrvcrsion and
wiiful falschood carried on n an extent
almost uncomfortable, ALWAYS with one
great, paramount and ovcrshalouin
object in view, namely, that of poison
ing the minds Of the people Of the
North against the people Of the South,
and preparing them for the time when
an effort will certainly be male Tor
dcstrdying o,if 'lihsn.
Every act tending to conci.iate the
public spind and restore good feeling
and harmony is looked upon with re-
