of the first daily abolition sheet ever started In
this city, our blanket contemporary of Wall
street, has a ct of downright anger at the
HERALD and the Union meeting for nominating
Gen. Scott as the conservative candidate for
the Presidency.
Instead of adhering to the demure language
That becomes the hypocrisy and the cloth they
wear, they have resorted to the vocabulary of
Satan. According to their view, the nomination
of Gen. Scott is "brazen.faced impudence or
downright depravity;" the HERALD has seized
upon him every much as hyena;" his fair
fame lis trided with and sacrificed" to "unhal-
lowed Desires "the brave old man, just re-
turned from long and toilsome service is
seized by the "evil spirit and passions of de-
PRAYED panderer to the worst feelings of the
human heart" and devoted to ''the fangs of
this destructive instrument of evil Such is
sample of the style in which II pitches into the
HERALD, calling it an ''unprincipled falsifer of
events" and then it triumphantly asks, "Can
baseness 60 further or deeper than this!" To
which we reply we should rather think it
could

dant evidence Of the truth Of our reply,
| by looking into the motives in its own
bosom which prompted its attack, ap-
parently upon the HERALD, but in reality
| on General Scott, on the thousands at the
Union meeting who hailed his name with
enthusiasm, and the spontaneous outburst of
popular sentiment in the country, which is de-
| IN v,1oca he yofarav o;Goator 4ho
helm of State during the stormy period upon
which we are now entering. The pious de-
pravity of the abolition sheet is shocked be-
cause the intrigues of its pet, the Albany Re-
| gency, did not succeed in controlling the ex-
| preston of popular desire in the Union
meeting. Therefore it turns upon us and ac-
cuses us of doing exactly what it had planned
to do itself. 1t would deliver General Scott, or
anybody else, over to 'the fangs of the destruc-
tive instrument of evil" if by so doing it could
save its pet rascals in the Regency. And it is
| all the more irate because it foresees that the
| popularity of General Scott is destined to un-
mask the hypocrisy of its fellow abolitionists,
Confidence Cassidy and Company, of Albany.
We do not see that there is any necessity for
| letting the name of General Scott rest in for
| getfulness, because "the brave old veteran, who
| was ready to give his influence to his country's
good" in recent emergency, has "just return
ed from long and toilsome service" The
'brave old veteran" can rest from his physical
fatigues, even though grateful country does
invoke his name with pleasure and confidence;
and it is only the pious depravity of
set of unprincipled political schemers who
fear that his honest patriotism will defeat
their abolition intrigues, that prompts the
desire that General SCOTS name should
be hushed in order that he may get
General Scott sis a minute man at the call of
his country and in the coming emergency the
whole country will seize upon his name as the
beacon Of hope and the promise of safety for
the constitution and the country.
The WASHINGTON CONSTITUTION AND TAMMANY
HAIL.-The laundering, brainless journal at
Washington, called the Constitution, publishes
and fully endorses the address of the Tammany
Hall General Committee, issued after the de-
feat Of that degenerate, rotten concern by the
\ uutAOudA uCnOSAuSy ou0 cCAnunuO VOOuS dAU
what is still worse, it endorses Tammany Hall
ITSELF
In the Tammany address, among other things,
it is stated that the republican party voted for
Wood, and that the Simon Pure democracy
alone voted for Havemeyer. The force of i'm
pudence cannot further 60. Every man in this
city knows that the very reverse is the truth,
| nd that WoOI vvo tod 1vf ho
democracy, and supported by them alone, while
Havemeyer was nominated by the free soil
democrats of Tammany Hall, and received at
the same time the active support Of the repub-
licans. Wood has always been on the side of
national principles; Havemeyer, it is not de-
MED, was one of the leaders in the anti-slavery
and sectional movement of lS4S, developed in
the Buffalo platform, which has debauched,
divided distracted and defeated the democracy
in this State ever since, and once
has been the cause of the defeat of
the party in Presidential election. Havemeyer,
therefore, though not an active politician for
some time, was recognized by the republicans
at the recent election as holding the same anti
slavery sentiments as themselves, and their
support was claimed on that ground, and they
electioneered for him. Tammany Hall hired
the black republican Times to sustain him day
after day in almost every column, and Mr..
Anthem, an avowed leader of the republicans,
and who keeps the treason shop in Wall street
for the circulation of Helpers book, was one
of the principal orators for Havemeyer at the
Tammany meetings.
Can any doubt, therefore, exist about the
matter? None whatever. Yet the dwelling
journal at Washington which endorses the pro-
ceedings of those men, and probably sympa-
thizes with the anti-slavery element in New
York, is owned and edited by two men who
are candidates for the printing of the Senate
Such ignorant boobies are unfit to be printers
