AN ABOLITION NULLIFIER.- is il
that the Administration, so vindictive to-
wards Democrats, permits AbOlitiOnists to
preach treason daily. without arresting OF
censuring them? Have they q prescrip.
tive right to do as they pleased Are
prisons to be tenanted only by Democrats!
1t seems so, judging from the course Of
the Cabinet. The Anti-Slavery Standard,
while applauding Seward, Cameron, & Co.,
for the suppression Of Democratic papers,
glorics and exults over the fact that il has
counselled the Northern States to with
draw from the hated Union with slave.

from late issue of that reasonable sheet.

tuition, and proclaimed Il 10 be the duty al
every honest man TO refuse 10 obey them. We

majority in the Assembly and Mr.. Hough
is one Of the strongest and strictest men,

We think it is more than half right. We
believe in the doctrine that ITO the vic.

Republican members Of the Legislature
will not prove faithlcSS to the men to
whom they are indebted for their election.

publican friends will excuse US for recon.
ncndjng for the same position or one
equally as good, Samuel Ensminger, Of
this county. Sam. is eminently sound,
competent and deserving, and has served
his party long, faithfully and efficiently.
If Republicans desire to reward their
truest and ablcst and most influential
champions, they may do SO by giving such
men as Hough and Ensmingcr position.
Will the Herald, whose suggestions its
party ought to heed, have the kindness to
say Q good word for Ensminger?
