south Carolina's Opinion of North
ern Union Sayers.

The conservatives" are very useful

swer very good purpose, and are an
essential part of the Northern policy.
They are tie very rear guard Of AJoti-
t;onism The Republican army marches
I forward to the battle of Abolitionism,
and the CONSERVATIVES" cover their
progress by diversions, and parleying,
AMI by-play. We are neithc~ peak
ing paradoxically, nor lightly, nor
prejudicially. 1t is a very grave and
momentous fact. We will illustrate
our meaning. The Hon. Robert G..
Winthrop OF Mass, is a "Conserva-
tive" The Hon. Robert &. Win
throp was the first gentleman who in
troduced Abolition petitions into the
House of Representatives. The Hon.
Robert c. Winthrop was elected from
his seat i'll the Senate, some few years
ago, by such thing as Charles Sum-
ner. The Hon. Robert G.. Winthrop
declared in Fanueil Hall, in 1854 that
his tongue would cleave to the roof OF
his mouth. and his right hand be
Topped from his body, before ile would
either vote for any measure, or set his
hand to any bill, by which Slavery
should be allowed to enter another
foot of our territories. The Hon. r.
&. Winthrop is turned ont of the Sen
ate because he is too conservative" a
man. Mr.. Everett, and many other
distinguished gentlemen at the North,
are quite as violent in their opposition
to Slavery as MIR. Winthrop. But
Mr.. Everett is nowhere-he is run
over-lcft behind. These gentlemen
are CONSERVATIVES" They would not
have John Brown d. Co. march down
into Virginia or Kentucky and create
civil war, and insurrcction, and discon.

they have discretion. they are Con

would not lose their golden eggs by

They would thus only rut a Gordon o.

then they would push Slavery still
further down toward the Gulf States
then permit its continuance or not
just as it pays them.
The difference between the "Con
servatives" and the Republicans is JUS
the difference between Luciier and Sa
tan. Luciier is a very distinguishes

age, with a handsome face, bnllian
black eyes, a heavy mustache, a som
brero hat, Spanish cloak. and ra
pier by his side. lie is a courtly gen
tleman. and never INDUCES in louC
