The Old Charge Revived.

The secession Democrats are now reviving
their old and false charge against their opponents
in this State. They have used the terms Sub
missionists," and ''Black Republicans and some
have progressed 50 far as to apply the term sab
olitionist." In speaking of the majority of the
State Convention, the Richmond Examiner says:
'.But from the majority zoe expect nothing
They are A6olitionssts."
This is the way the extreme South assist the
Black Republicans-give them said and comfort
by assuring them that a majority of the represen-
tatives of the people ofthis State in the Conven-
ton are s'abolitionsts.
The secessionists and the worst class of the
Republicans and abolitionists have common
object in view aud they work together harmoni
ously in the same harnass for the purpose of
precipitating the Union into the gulf of destruc-
ton. Extremes have met and are pulling to-
gether to effect speedy dissolution of the re-
manning portion of the Union.

assembled around Fort Sumter have been
turned over to the Southern Confederacy, and
placed by order of President Davis under CON-

sponslbility for the taking of Fort Sumter, and
