THE DIFFERENCE.
Republicanism and abolitionism -"
distinction without a difference - and
yet our republican neighbors become
alarmngly choleric when even suspected
of having their political sentiments
tincturcd with abolitionsm-whilo VII.
liam Lloyd Garrison, the father of aboli-
tionists and the most fanatical ranter in
the Union, espouses the cause of Seward
with zeal and ordor that would do honor
to one more worthy; and Gerrit Smith
and Wendell Phillips are compelled to
withhold their opposition to the great
leader Of the republican faction, and the
latter openly procaims, in public speech,
that in the event of Seward receiving the
Chicago nomination, he would support
him, the republicans, SO called, still claim
that their party is not the abolition party.
Our contemporary, the Saginaw Weekly
Enterprise is the organ Of the republican
party, if not of this county, at least Of
this city. It's editor, at two successive
city elections, viz: 1859 and 1860, has
been supported and elected by that party
to two important olfices-Justice of the
Peace and Supervisor Of the First Ward,
he is fair sample of republican editors
throughout this State-and the Enterprise
a truthful exponent Of the principles OF
his party - to prove, which, we publish
entire an editorial, found in the Enterprise
of the Odd ult.:
"MORE MURDERS.
On Friday last, the 10th inst, Hazlet'
and Stephens, the two remaining victims
! of Virginia vengeance and cowardice
were murdered by the officials of that State
One of these prisoners referred to thu
: murder of his brothers and the outrage'
upon his sisters by the pro-slavery Borde
/ Ruffian invaders of Kansas, and still in
sisted that he had done right in making
, an effort to strike a blow against a sys
] TEN so productive of crime and misery
; We have no doubt he was conscientiou
in this view, and when we see the blood
/ thirsty and revengcful spirit manifested
: by the cowardly chivalry, in following "
and numbering their victims long afte
their own foolish panic was over, it seem
almost pity that John Brown did no
$ take men enough with him to rout ant
: fully conquer the whole nest of Virgins
murderers.
g Virginia might safely have shown som
e generosity to those last victims, and save'
S a little of her reputation from the pool o
\ infamy in which it is now sunk so deeply
: There was not even the. excuse for
!. panic for this last cold bloodcd and bruta
act Of cruelty. The remembrance @
: these great crimes perpetrated in tn
!; name of law, will yet rise ZIP against tn
c doors Of iniquity."
: The sancti6caton Of John Brown,
cold blooded wilful murderer, who we
/. merited the disgraceful death he has sui
