This opposition obtained, until those who

never obtain what they sought-ollice and

when the necessity of the establishment Of a
new party suggested itself as n specious
means of reaching their inglorious aims.
The effect of the new political organization
was, to attract to the abolitionists, $50 feeble

as n common nucleus, or rallying point the
insincere politicians. the political gamblers,
jugglers and demagogues, from both the
whig and democratic ranks; leaving the
sincere and honest friends of peace and order
in the whig and democratic parties, to unite
