NEW EsGLAND UNIr. Tie Black
Republican Press is boasting that New
England is "a unit" In opposition TO the
Democracy, and that not one Democratic
is elected from that region
to Congress. s.-Trne; but not so novel as
true. New England was a unit in 1901,
when JEFFERSON was elected President;
New England then voting in body a
gainst him; and, again in 1923, when
Gen. JACKSON was elected New England
then, again, voting unanimously against
the Democracy. Now she is unit in
support of Abolitionism, and the very men
who boast of this unity, profane the
names of JACKSON and JEFFERSON with the
mockery of their praise.

The Slave Trade.

Some INSCRIPTIONS members Of the Re.
publican Press seek to disseminate the i'm.
preston that the southern Democracy are
favorable TO the slave trade laws, and the
subsequent renewal OF that barbarous traf
iic. Because n few self-constituted dele
gates assembled at Vicksburg to air an
overweening vanity and obtain by violent
harangues, passing notoriety which they
were unable to gain by other means, many
Opposition papers insult the majority of
our Southern brethren by imputng to
to them desire to reopen a commerce
which is necessarily attended with crimes
so foul that they, in former years, excited
the horror ofChris.e .endom. Bartaric war
in Africa, and the diabolical outrages of
the middle passage; the depopulation Of
whole provinces of Africa and the annihi-
lation of rapidly augmenting and legiti,
mate trade with that fertile Continent

precept and every maxim of sound policy

journals to be the determined policy of the
Intelligent citizens who possess nearly one
half Of this great country.
1T seems to matter not, that not a single
influential statesman of the South is
