ABOLITION SPITE.

AUOLI lON STlAIs
Senators 1rumbull, Grimes and Ear
Ian voted against the confirmation OF
Cameron as Minister r. Rnssia. Right
here you see the prints OF the cloven
foot. Trumbull is a roaring Abolition
ist besides being q personal enemy to
the Pretident. He was chagrlned at
having such an abe Abolitionist as Cam
erou kicked out Of the Cabinet. 1t Yas
nrocf positive that the President has no
friendship with traitors, whether found
fighting under the black banner OF Gar.
rison or The rebel rag Of Davis. This
rnmistakable declaration OF policy Oh
the part of the President, calls forth the
opposi, on Of the Republican Abolition
its. Tie two Senators from Iowa are
linking themselves together with the en-
onics Of The Government and aiding and
encouraging the enemy. Let orr Legls-
Ia,ure now in session. adopt resolution,
inslructing those two Senators 10 sus,
tam the President, the Administration,
and the Government in this fearful chi
sis. Iowa expects our Senators to be
loyal TO the Union, and enemies Of trea
son. In this last act as in modifying
Secretary Camerons Abolition report,
the President has done his duty well.
Let the Legislature r. buke the Abolition
spite of the Iowa Senators.
Hitting the Nail en- the Head.
At the Democratic State Convention
in New Hampshire the other day, ex-
Governor Williams Int the nail exactly
on the head by moving the following
resolution -
Resoloed, That we denounce North.
ern abolitionism and Southern secession
as the cooperating sources Of our pre-
sent calam,tics- alike treas enable to the
Constitution and iuimical to the Union
The only way to restored Union and
respected Constitution, with return
ing peace and prosperity, is through the
overthrow Of the enemies to beth.
The chief organ OF Northern abolition
ism in this city is, OF course, very wroth
at Mr.. Williams, aud denies that the
leaders Of the sect are traitors TO the
Union and the Constitution, because
they are not in arms. 1t Is true there
is little fear Of finding any arms in their
hands. But they have entered luto a
conspiracy to drive on Drawer men to
abolish the Union and the Constitution
by force OF arms. Does not that bring
them within the spirit, If not within the
letter, OF the law of treason We think
so; and the New Hampshire man is no,
hairs breadth wide Of the mark.-N
Y. Herald.
Indeed, it IS hitting the nail on the
head. Every day brings fresh evidence
to prove it; every action on either side
tastcns still deeper upon them the gull,
of treason; every move, either in high
or low places, presses the burning brand
Of infamy still deeper into their fore
heads. The country did not see it a,
first; some OF the more honest Republic
cans did not observe the true character
of their bosom companions at the be
ginning, but the mask, thank Heaven
Is falling of-aye, 1t is being torn off
and the close alliance between Southern
traitors and Northern abolitionists is
made fully apparent. "Down with the
Union and the Constitution" say the
Southern rebels. "The Constitution is
covenant with death and an agreement
with he'll, is the response Of the Adolf
ton faction of the North. Both sides
emulate each other in deeds of treason.
But their hour Of triumph is far distant.
The sober, conservative element of the
North, with the Executive at its head,
will take good care that traitors in the
South and North alike are ignominious-
ly defeated.
HENRY CLAY DEAN.-This eloquent
and patriotic gentleman delivered lee

MONIES, which was largely attended by
citizens and members OF the Legislature.
It was a master effort OF q master mind.

fortune to listen to more forcIble, clo-
