Mr.. EDITOR: I am something OF q vet.

now going on in our national, and, may
say, social systems, which it would be well

with but few exceptions, are committed to
the Abolition or emancipation schemes which
Lovejoy, Elliott, Sumner, Trumbull and
others have generated in their frenzy. 1t 10

The House had just passed the Arizona
bill, with the Wilmot Proviso in it which
abolished slavery by Congressional action, in

You have seen that the Loveioy bill was
introduced last Friday. 1t was an overdose
of the black poison. Lovejoy opened the
ball with it, and the border State men and
Democrats, with few Republicans, fought
it. A motion was made to table it, 1t re
ceived but fifty votes. All the Ohio republi-
cans voted against it but Horton. Harrison
did not vote on Thursday against 1t. though
he did afterwards. Finally, it was about
to pass, or seemed about to pass, when an
was moved by "conserratire'
Republican. These men would not meet i
squarley and k,N it. They had it in their
power to do so, but did not like to go on the
record against such legislation. Why? For
ear the Abolition portion OF their district
would see it, and give them the cold shoulder
in their nominations or elections this fall
The adjournment was carried. On Tuesday,
when the House met, Lovejoy began the pro-
ceedings by resolution Of thanks to McClel.
Ian, at which there was general surprise, as
he had been loudest in braying against him.
