i've abolitionism!!
Well, it is better to be SOMETHING
POSITIVE, than to be either pig OF pup
py, just as occasion may demand.
This Salem viper belongs to the in
famous "Beast Butler" School of
Massachusetts politicians, who can
accomodate itself to either condition
for pay. The only incentive to acti-
on the scholars of thai school have,
is the scent of prey-whoever will be
Butcher for the time being, they'll be
Dog, so as to get the oFFAL. That is
all the principles they .have-FEED is
all the foul and filthy buzzards in
the political world, care for. They
can be fawning sycophants to 'sThe
Slave Power, SO called, to day; and
adulators Of Abolition the next: and
whether the country goes to JEFF: or
to Abe-whether it declares for'Pro
Slavery, or for "Antislavery", for
"Loyalty"or for sTreason''--these fel-
lows "don't care a d-d", for they
have established an interest in both!!
When ssNes" and Baker were elected
to the United States Senate one of
the most active agents in that election
remarked, boastingly, to us and to
others, in the streets Of Salem, that
whoever was elected President-but
more particularly whichever of the
two-Douglas, or Lincoln-that was
elected, "Jim. Neslnith could accom-
odate himself to the principles and
policy of his administration" The
remark is an epitome of the political
immortality of the branch New Eng
land School iu our midst That elo-
quent Democrat, Cox Of Ohio, draws
a speaking picture" of the principles
that govern that school, when he says:
They Cthe Puritans) take Success for Justice,
Bgotisns. for Greatness, Cunning for Wisdom,
Cupidity for Enterprise, Sezition for Liberty and
Cant for Piety.
The Salem cur is worthy pupil of
the Puritan school which Mr.. Cox so
truthfully describes,a and the men who
surround him are like unto himself.
None put an unmitigated villain
the vilest Of the vile among political
harlots-couid bring himseIfto com
plain of any ones Abolition after the
VAMPIRES disgusting display of his
Massachusetts sectional instincts, yet
fresh in the minds Of every one. Up
to the very day the news Of the East
ern Elections reached Oregon, his was
the vilest, the foulest, and the most
INSCRIPTIONS Abolition sheet in the
State. Billy Adams Argus couldn't
hold a candle to it for mean sectional
malignity. True to its Puritanical
instincts-like "Butler the Beast"-
as it had been foremost in obsequious
todyism to the South for its bread and
butter, while the South had bread
and butter to d1spense-now that she
had lost the distribution of the loaves
and fishes, it would be profitable,
safe and popular to kick her! Accord
ingly we find this Salem graduate
of the Butler School out Heroding
even the abolition Argus, as Butler
oltstrips Banks. When the first news
of Hunters Proclamation to the Ne
groes of South Carolina reached this
State, we were upon the eve of an
important election. This fiend of the
Salem paper rejoiced at it with the
following exhibition of demoniacal
glee. He rejoiced with true Butler
ferocity-with develish ferocity that
showed his true blue Puritan stock
he rejoiced that the Black Savage was
being commissioned TO ravage and
lay waste the homes of the South. The
prospect, of dwellings in flames; of IA
theirs, sons and brothers massacred;
Of mothers wives and daughters un-
der the violence of the black brute
iconsced to ravish; of children agonis-
ing on the point of the bayonet; seem
ed to delight the longings Of his
atrocious Puritan soul in fatness.
Hear this Cur from the Salem ken
mel of New England dough faces,
and then judge ye between his Aboli-
lition and that of 'Parson Billy Ad
ANS" The Argus never uttered SO
fiendish and atrocious a sentiment as
the following from an editorial in the
Salem paper of last June:
