GEN VERB IN A TIGHT PLACE.

Tbsre Il no marty worthy of the name North which
has ayowed or which has determination to extermnae
slavery and party number OF men, however small
avowing or having such purpose took part the
election The republican movement, the contrary,
scorned and secuted by the abolitonist and well might
have been not only those who directed without
sympathy with them but II and Is the determination
that party interfere in whatever with slave
~ as IL already exists in any southern State.
IN. y. Courier and Enquirer, Dec. l6.
There Is wonderful contrast between this language Of
General Webb and that uttered by him in the Philadel-
pha when be announced his readiness draw
his sword and fight II the people should refuse
to elect the nominee Of the black republicans The result
has exerted Christening influence his bellcose temper
and we have hopes that he hs abandoned his threatened
resort 10 the sword Bat fear his memory has not
been improved. He says the republican movement was
,corned and secuted BY he asolonist &c. Let how
much truth there ia In the declaration Gen. Webb will
hardly deny that Gerrit Smith is an aboonist Well,
during the canvass Mr.. Smith wrote as follows
These fso obooHists ,ohO rsuse for Cs Fremont
are after aa be numbered among tho sfecvs helpers
Of election. No other equal number OF persons doing
more than they swell that food of fsng
which alone Col Fremont be carried into the presidency
Let these radical aboonss be left ply the public mind
with their radical doctrines and then, whether they shall
shall VOTE however they shall vote Colonel Fremont
will have been great gamer and Mr.. Fillmore and Mr. Bu-
chsnan win have been great losers by them"
There is nothing in this like seOrnng and scouting the
republican movement by the abolition candidate Gsrrit
Smith We suppose Gen. Webb will admit that Wen
dell Phillips is abolidonst During the canvass Mr..
Phillips spoke Of the republican movement in these words
Otis (says Mr. Phips) the first sectional party ever
Eanzed in this country. II does not know its face and
1t calls sef nationals but 1t is not national; Il is sectional
Il the North srrsyed against the South. Henry Wilson
said me- We get every northern State In order to
elect Fremont Even In imagination he did not count upon
single southern State It distinct recognition Of the
fact that the republican party Is party Of the North,
pledged against the South Theodore Parker vented to
know once where disunion would begin viii tell him !,
Just where that party divides. That northern party
against the southern. do call II sntssvery party
Il has risen that yet. is northern party against
the southern. They made the first little breach The first
crack in the iceberg visible; you will hear II 20 with
crack through the centre. Its FIRST distinct recognition
was Bankss election. He elected by northern mennot
man from the South voting for him. That the value Of
that party. bail II n sgn-ss great gain. did not
hope IL for ten years 1t has early
We would be obliged to Gen. Webb to point out the
'corH and scouting OF the republican movement in this
