The AbOlitionistS Exposed.

One Mr. Conway was sent to Europe a few
weeks ago, bv the Abolitionists. His departure
was announced in most of the radical papers. ac-
companied with high concentrations of his abili-
tv, and the statement that he went on a political
mission, authorized bv the Aholitionists He
was most deliberately praised by some of these
sheets, aud his mission was spoken of as of great
Importance.
We at length discover what that mission was.
and in a manner that is evidently astounding to
the radical gentlemen who sent him He was
perhaps "a very good minister for their purposes.
IN all respects but one. He did not know enough
Of diplomacy to keep the object of his mission
secret. He placed himself i'm the hands of his
foreign correspondent and was exposed: and not
only himself, but the party he represents were
exposed t. the indignation of the peoplet they we're
plotting to betray. Open, unblushing treason is
the avOwed object of his mission. He states that
he went ont authorized bv the radicals, to offer
terms of disunion to Mr.. Mason. the Rebel en-
voy in England. He saws that his principals hold
the "balance of power in American politics, and
can bring the war TO an end and make disunion n
fixed fact whenever they choose. He saws that
he has authority from the leading anti slavery
men to make propositions TO Mr.. Mason for
accomplishing disunion, and he proceeds to make
them.
OF course, il a conservative man had opened a

he was authorized to negotiate for disuniOn. the
Radical party would send fifty OF a hundred lead
ing conservatives to Fort Lafayette on suspicion
at once We all remember the howl Of virtuous
Indignation with which they received Lord Lyons
statement that he had had some conversation
with conservative men, (as it afterwards turned
out thew were Administration men, conspicuous
since in Loyal Leagues but we do not hear any
such Indignation expressed about Mr.. Conway.
We do not hear of any attempts to arrest the
traitors whom he represents. The newspapers
which announced his departure contain abundant
evidence on the subject. There would be no
difficulty in arresting. indicting and trying these
men. Are the administrator really DESTROYS to
stop reasonable aid TO the enemy? Here is the
exposure of the very hot bed of treason. Do
they wish to know what men are anxious to com
promise with the Rebels, not for union but for
disuniop. here is the nest of traitors?
The radical newspapers are either profoundly
silent on the subject. or simply call Mr.. Conway
a fool. This will not do. He was no fool when
they and their friends sent him on this mission
Nor is there anything new in the idea. We long
ago showed the Administration the speeches of a
number of these traitors, met in council in Bos
ton, in which thev avowed they would rather
fight for Davis than Lincoln il he former would
emancipate the slaves. No attention was paid
to their utterances. They were Of the loyal

punity. But now that thew have openly sent an
ambassador to the Southern Confederacy, we
trust there will be no more dispute. on the part OF
the Evening Post. Times. Tribune, and similar
papers. as to who are the traitors ut the North.
The Abolitionists adopted the disunion theory
years ago. They passed resolutions before the
war began to open a correspondence with the
Southern disunionists, to effect a dissolution OF
the Union. They refused to enlist when the war
commenced. They devised all kinds of measures
for making the war unsuccessful. They have
finally sent an ambassador TO the Southern Con
federacy And these are the men who call them
selves loyal and call us ~disloyall
Such are the Abolition traitors that charge
sympathy with the Rebels on the Democrats
Why not put IN the hands of every honest mar
a whip ;
