This old Abolition aeitator has been
absent from his post in Canada, where,
it was hoped, he would take up his future
abode, on mission of mischief at Wash
ington, arranging the tactics to be par-
sued by Loveioy and his Abolition crow,
and has at last turned up here in Colum.
bus as men Der of the State Central
Committee of the late Republican party.
His special business, we learn from an in.
aucntial Republican, was to galvanize the
mortal remains of the late Republican or
ganization, breathe new life into it, label
it "UniOn" and start it on new mission
of mischief. He it was that gathered to-
gether the remains of the Whig and
Know-nothing parties (such as he could
use), and breathod into them the breath
of Abolitionism and called it Republican.
1t having accomplished the mission for
which it was organized by him, and is
now falling into decay, he is here on leave
to organize anew the elements, with such
as he can nvciglc into its meshcs from the
Democratic party, under the name Of that
UNION which he, and mon like him, have
been for years rottir G to destroy. We
are right glad he has taken this piratical
craft un lcr his charge. No one who en-.
lists in the concern, can now be deceived
All he and his friends now want, to give
the party any chance of success, is to pu,
mp some man who claims, and has beer
recognized ms Democrat, for Governor
and who did not vote for Lincoln and tn,
Chicago platform, aud sprinkle the tickle
with just salt enough to prevent the Al
oition smell.
1t would not do to head tile ticket will
an Nvowed Republican of tho Chicag,
platform stripe. Well do the manager
of the concern know this Some gentle
man must head the ticket, who was
National Union Democrat and supported
Douglas otherwise he will not do
! With such man at the lead Of the ticllc
they think it will cover mp any quantit,
Of Aboltionism at the tail, especially
it is labeHed Union ticket" this dodg
will not answer at this time
We ask in all cnndor, what would th
old Union Democrats, and all other tru
Union men think of tho sincerity of
Union ticket gotten up under the aus
picos of Joshua r. Giddings, Ben. Wade
Ashley, Lovejoy and men of their wei
known Abolition sentiments Do the,
not know that they would control it, jus
as they have the Republican organiza
ton?
Even now, in the midst of this war
when Dem ocrats are told to hold thei
breatll-speak not ono word about thei
glorious old PaHy-ignoro its past glori
our history, of which every Democrat i,
proud-Lovejoy and men Of his illI. i,
and out of Congress, are pressing on will
their war of abolitionsm. We ask on
friends what party organization will exis
to meet and overthrow these men, whom
all Pr9tess to despise, if you ignore an,
disband the Democracy
The Albany Evening Journal, leading
paper of the late Republican organization
has veRtare3 to administer slight re
buke to Lovejoy for introducing the ne
gro into Congress, and it is met by Sc
we're rcbule for so doing by the Charleston
(Massachusetts) ddrertiser. the editor o.
which has just been appointed Post.m
ter of that place by Mr. Lincoln. thu
AdOertiser says: "We must say to tn,
venerable Albany stultitier that insteaC
of ccasing, in its elegant language; t,
trot out the negro, we are of the opin
ion that it is about the time to BEaIN tc
to trot him out. Nor TALK OF NEGRO sr.A
VERY IN THE HALLS OF CoNGREss NOW
THURIoW WEED HAD BETTER TELL New
| ENGLAND NOT TO pRAY?"
Thus it is, you might as we'll tell the
Abolitionists "not to pray" (they woult
obey that much sooner) as to cease thei
political clamor about slavery. After ar
election was carried under the name OF
"union," every man who rcbuked negro
fanaticism, should bo denounced as a
stultificr," Just as 'rhurlow Weed now
is by this Abolition Postmaster.
We arc told that nor, just at this par.
ticular juncturo in our national affairs, it i,
absolutely necessary to ignore and abol-
ish our organization, that we may be
considered patriots! We reject this Il,
toto, We are told we must fall back mp
on tho times of Mr. Monroe when all
opposition to the Democracy had beer
crushed out, and ho was reelected with
ont opposition, only one vote being cast
for Mr., Adans!l We suppose it is de
signed that We must break up the old
Democratic organization, so that Mr.
Lincoln can be reelected for sccont
term without opposition. Tho effort tc
make n jackson OF Mr.. Lincoln has sig
nally failod-they now propose to try anc
make Monroe of him. That would a
least continue Giddings as Consul tc
Uanada, Burlngamo to China, Cash NJ
Clay 20 Russia, Harvey to Portugal etc
and the thousand OF like cases in their pla
ces, The only way this is to be accom-,
plished, is to break up tho old Unior
Democratic party. It's organization i,
northumberland not betrayed into tho
hands o. those who for half q century
have meditated and labored for its de,
struction-it will certainly take charge
of the Government at the end of this Ad
ministration. as the sun rises and sets.
If the Republicans are convinced thai
their organization is wrong, and not com.
patihlc with the existence of the Union
of the States, they should abandon not
only it, but its principles; and not ahan,
don their namc and organization, and try
and perpetuatc their destructive principle,
by covering them under patriotic nam,
wherewith to mislead the people States
