1t is the easiest thing in the world
to politically hoax an abolitionist,--
They are always on the lookout for
something new in their line, and their
nerves being in q continual high state
of excitement about the 'tpoor Afri-
can,'' a runaway niger or some scamp
who processes to have vast amount of
sympathy for the "negro race, lean
hoax an Abolitionist out Of anything
he wants to. A number of our extra
ordinary philanthropists in this yicini-
ty, have often been duped in this way.
;Ia Since the present war broke out they
have been more nervous than ever
But few of them go to war, but they
are very anxious for all others to go,
''ifit will only free the nigger.' Any
scamp from the South, who pretends
,thatlhe has escaped from that region
"of slavery and oppression" is just
the chap to "play off on them.
IL To show how easy it is to humbug
Abolitionists, and even an abolition
Legislature, like the Ohio, we will let
the following extracts, from the States
man and Ohio State Journal tell
The Springfield News referred to, is
edited by one of these sensitive, twichy,
nervous abolitionists, who gulph down
every humbug that's ahoat:-- IN

ant Governor Stanton, who presided at the
meeting, volunteered some remarks commen

iunct wed with each otherin efforts to give
him "good notices" and .'steep puffs.'' The
managers OF the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Socie-
ty, not to be overdone in honoring "the ne.
phew OF Parson Brownlow,' gave him q ben
eat. The journal was not pleased with our
notice ofhis address in the Hallof the House
before the humbugged Legislature, insisting
that he had been treading upon our toes, else
the notice had been characterized by differ
ent spirit! The local OF the journal now &C.
