ABOLITION ORGANIZATION OF THE HorsE.-A glance
abolition feeling has prevailed in the election of Mr..
Banks. Mr.. Grow is at the head of the committee
on Territories; Mr. Washburn, of the committee on
elections Mr. Campbell of the committee of ways
and means Mr. Giddings committee on claims;
Mr.. Meacl,am, of the District of Columbia &C., &c.
Every one of these chairmen of the most important
committees is the avowcd and inscriptions enemy
of the national Democracy and of the rights of the
South. The House has been abolitionizel-the Sem
ate and the President must the country. And
still we find Southern men who propose to "ignore"
the question of slavery Ito throw it out of the
Presidential contest to demand no pledges of the
North to respect our vital interests and rights =
Why the thing is impossible. No pleading, no pos
sble humiliation of Southern men would avail to
ignore" the queston-to arrest the march of the
infatuated and insOlent aggressor. AS well call
the winds to be still, Or expect the foods of Niagara
to pause in their fall. THE issue must be met. We
have confidence that it will be met successfully
The struggle will be desperate; but if the Southern
people will only be true to themselves and to their
patriotic and selfsacrifcng allies in the free States,
the Republic will survive, and concord will be again
restored.
"THE-LIvE GIRAFFE."-We are informed by Mr..
R. H. Whitaker, the Editor, that this paper would
have been resuscitated before now, but for negota
tons which have been pending between himself and
gentleman who had proposed to purchase his
press
No sale has been effected and the Giraffe will
tainly, Gfa "Jsw more" names come in trot out in
time for spring grazing
