| The abolition journals have been engaged fol
some time In denounciug all conservatives a.
traitors and advocating their imprisonment in
Fort Lafayette. The abolition orators have re-
peatsdly threatened the democratic candidates
and all who support them with hanging The
abolition organs boldly state the Intention of
the radical employees to "spot" all conservs-
tive voters at the polls. Representative aboli-
tionists have declared that the election Of Sey-
mour will inaugurats civil war at tho North
| meaning that they mean to contest the result Of
the election by force. 1t seems. as we have an
ticipated and stated, that these bloody threats
are to be carried out on the day of election.
The abolitionists have determined to raise a
riot in this city on Tuesday next if they find
that the election Is going against them. They
have already organized their plans and CON-
pleted their arrangements for this purpose
Upon Governors Island are plentiful supplies Of
cannon and ammunition, which can be obtained
as they suppose, at an hours notice Around
the city are already quartered four regiments of
to aid their revolutionary schemes. These de-
tails being perfected, they have sent on for
General Wadsworth to direct the whole affair.
General Wadsworth, being at once military
man and the abolition candidate for Governor,
is, of course, just the person to direct such an
eme,de What little reputation he has was OBJ
tanned by his mutinous and insubordinate con-
rdo .rtr
against, General Mcclellan. He has been deep
in the abolition plots to depose the President
and make Fremont dictator and has earned for
himself the cordial dislike Of his superiors and
the equally cordial hatred Of his subordinates
He is an ardent negro worshipper, and deyotes
all his time to making white soldiers attend
upon contraband darkeys. His greatest battles
have been armed resistances to the civil officers
of the District of Columbia. He is most amply
qualified, therefore, to lead riot on election
day here, and this is the reason why the aboli-
tionists have sent for him. -
With the aid of Wsdsworth, the Governors
Island cannon and the four regiments of
soldiers stationed about the city, the abolition
lists hope to carry the election here by
coup d'etot, as Napoleon put down the French
Directory. They have Americans, not French
men, to deal with, however The only result
of these revolutionary schemes will be to Sc
cure Wadsworth's defeat and add to the large
majority against him. The police will be am
ply sufficient to quell any disturbance and
arrest any army which so incompetent gene
raj as Wadsworh may lead. If the abolition
candidate shall attempt any such eme,ae he
will find himself in the Tombs before night, or
will save himself only by another fight like
that he made from Bull run. The Northern
civi! war plotted by Wadsworth and his sup
porters cannot be begun with impunity in New
York city. The people here know their rights
and how to maintain them. The coming
election must pass off undisturbed by any such
an attempt at military despotism, or the rioters
must be prepared to take the consequences.
All the conservatives ask is fair expression of
the opinion Of the people. This expression
must neither be smothered nor coerccd. Bal
lots, not bullets, must be the order Of the
day for next Tuesday. General Wads-
worth may be able to go out of his department
to Pennsylvania in order to arrest couple of
innocent country cultors, uut NO Canuot Cosue
here to New York and prevent a fair and peace
full election and foroibly control honest and in
dependent voters. He is not yet the military
Governor of the city of New York, and will
never be the civil Governor Of this State. lie
may as well send away his cannon and remove
his regiments. The abolitionists have brought
him on here in vain. They had much better
box him up and hurry him back to Washington.
He may lord it over few poor contraband
darkeys, but he can neither coerce nor intimi-
date the citizens of New York.
