ner. Of St Mary's Parish, La, abiding to our
remarks upon the practice of calling the best
and most conservative men Of the South
"abolitionists, or .'Freesoilers," or some
thing Of that sort, which some Southern dem
aco-ucs and political charlatans are III the
habit Ok doing, makes the following truthful
comment:
I'VE have long thought, with the Bulletin,
that this practice is shameful, ridiculous and
dishonest Those that fling the charge, DO
il mostly to frighten the ignorant, or excite
preiudice. If all were Abolitionists in the
South that demasogues have charged with
being such, in the last eight or ten years,
Black Republicahism would nearly carry
the Southern States NJ the present time
We have heard multtudcs Of shareholders
who never saw free State, and whose ia
theirs were Shareholders before them, ranked
As Abolitionsts, and the willlul enemies of
the South"
Every one will readily recognise the fdeli-
" to nature of this picture, and very many
will rccolect that the rogue is generally the

to keep an eve upon the parties that are con-
slautlv insinuating the charge OF abolition
