MORE ISLANDERS.

a leading object of our neighbor of the Ga
zette, appears to be 10 SO slandsr, and villify,
ard misrepreseDt tie Americans and Republi-
cans, as to make ignorant people believe that
the opposition to sham democracy are made up
of abolitionists and disunionists. Not satisfied
witty lying about our public IDen and their
speeches, it is in the habit of getting some ex-
tracts from fanatical abolitionists, like Wendell
Philips and Elzur Wright, who are neither
Americans nor Republicans, and never were,
and attempting to make us responsible for their
doings OF this character is an article in last
weeks Gazette, under the title Of sDoes the
Republican Party propose to interfere with
Slavery in the States" purpOr,ing to give the
sentiments of sundry persons, as contained in
extracts from their letters and speeches.
Among other alleged extracts in other Locofo-
CT. papers, is one purporting to be from letter
or speech of Mr.. Dennison, at present the
American and Republican candidate for Gov
ernor i'll Ohio. The LocOfocos represent him
as expressing the following sentiments: "That
he would use The bayonet to resist the execu-
ton Of the Fugitive Slave Law
The untruthfulness of this will appear by an
article, which We copy from the Baltimore
American, of the 18th September, inst, as fol-
lows:
''Mr. Dennison, the candidate for Governor
IN Ohio, said, during bis discussion With Mr.
Ranney at Tifin, i will here state, incidental
iy, that the silly story about my having de-
clared that viii use the bayonet to resist the
execution of the Fugiti-e Slave Law, is utter
ty false, md wihout the slightest foundation
IN truth. So long as the law stands upon the
statute book l would not resist its execution,
but do ny duty under tho Constitution Yet
this story has been trumpeted all over the coun-
try as fair specimen of the sentiments of
Northern men, and doubtless believed implicit
ly by nine-tenths of the deluded masses who
worship the Slaveocracy."
The Gazette is also in the habit of SANDER
ing Horace Greely in like manner, and charg.
ing upon him the desire to interfere with slave
ry in the slave States. In the article of last
week, is given what pufports to be two extracts,
one from the Tribune, aud one from Mr. Gree
ly in some other way, as follows:
"The time is fast approaching when the cry
will become too oyerpowering to resist
RATHER THAN TOLERATE NATIONAL SLAVERY
AS 1T NOW EXISTS, LET THE UNION BE
DlSSOLVFD 1T ONCE, AND THEN THE
SIN OF SLAVERY WILL REST WHERE 1T BE-
LoNGs."-.N. Y. Tribune.
"l HAVE NO DOUBT BUT THE FREE AND
SLAVE STATES OUGHT TO BE SEPARATED.
THE UNION is NOT WORTH SUPPORTING IN
-coNSExIoN WITH TIE SoUTH. Horace Gree
q.
Now the utter want Of all truth aud fairness
in the extracts just copied above, aud all SINH
lar charges, can De made apparent from the fol-
lowing extract from a speech delivered by
Horace Greely in California, on the 9th of Au-
gust, last, at Republican meeting. Mr..
sGreely, in talking about the Republican party,
t, which he belongs said:
81 will say, iu the first place, that though it
sis new party, it presents no new principle or
'motive to action. |. demands that the policy
"traced out by the fathers Of this American
"Union for the government OF this Union,
s'should to-day be recognized and pursued by
"the rulers of the nation. That is its demand
"lt has no new doctrine to teach respecting
-"sIayery, liberty or any other question what
sever. Its position is a conservative one. 1t
