ABOLITION DISHONESTY.

we nave iIetueutiy uau oCcdSion
through these columns, to call atten.
tion,by instances, to the well-esiablish-
ed fact Of the dishonesty and hypocri.
cy Of the Black Republican leaders of
the North. Below ne furnish add-
tional evidence Of an irrefutable char
acter of the utter want Of principle
and christianity that characterize
them. The Gov Chase spoken of
ranks high among his brethren, and
is looked upon as one Of the bright
lights Of his treasonable band. 1t
will be observed that he "does not
wish the slave emancipsted because
he loves him, but because he hates
bis mastcr!" Was there ever a
more complete confession of a man S
own yillainy? Henceforth Gov.
Salmon u. Chas8s name should
be stencil in every honest mans
nostrils.
Bus to our authority; Here it is,

OF s. D. Cabaniss, Esq, and Samuel
G. Townsend, for the purpose Of Sc
lecting home for number of slaves
belonging TO the estate of Samuel
Townsend, decd, and Nh,, according
to bis last will, were to be liberated

ia him and Others in Ohio, to love
our Southern slaves so much as to
desire their freedom ana clamor
for their emancipation, and yet hate
them so much as to be unwilling to
allow them home in their own
State; especially SO, since, by the ex-
