Abolition Treason Mantfesting Itself
Unmarked

We have repeatedly and off told our readers
that Abolitionsm was treason. Some have not
believed it; some few have. In addition to the
many evidences adduced by us from time to time
in support of this allegation. we produce ed-
torial article from the New y ork Tribune of the
2Sth ult.. which leaves no reasonable room for
doubt on the question involved, so far as the
Tribune is regarded as organ of Abolitionism.
Here is the article. We ask for it disposition
ate perusaE
Speaking for ourselves, we can honestly say
that for that old Union which was kept in exist
ence by southern menances and northern con
cessons, we have no regrets and no wish for its
reconstruction. Who wants any Union which
can only be preserved by systematic wrong and
organized political blunders? Who wants any
Union which is nothing but sentiment 10 lack

In our poor Judgment the Senate of the United

Mr.. Bright A measure OF this sort should only
be carried through upon the most unquestionable
grounds. AMI with the general assent. The rea-

spirit aud dignity We regret that we can not

Mr.. Harris, of New / ork, has done himself very
great honor by the firmness and ability with
which he has presented his liberal. just and com
prehensive views. The expulsion needless
of Senator. who had taken his place, declared
himself devoted to the Union and the Consttu-
ton and merely differed in matter of policy with
political opponents. We do not remember that
the British Parliament ever thought OF expelng
Fox, or Pitts, or others, who took much stronger
ground against the Administration. when the
American provinces were in revolt from the
British Crown
In fact the measure is one which will have
