In 1859, the aboiilion'sts OF New YORK
had a State Convention at which they pass
ed these resolutions: sa m
"WnEREAs, The dissolution OF the pres,
eat inglorious union between the Tree a"u
slave States, would result in the overthrow
Of slavery, and THE consequent form at'on
of another government, without the incubus
Of slavery, therefore,
Resolued, That We invite free cores
pondence with the disunioriSts OF the
South, in, order to agree upon the most SUIT
able measures to bring about so des'raoea
result.
In 1851, tine Massachusetts, abolition con
vention passed these resolutions:
"Resolred, That the Constitution which
provides for slave representation, and
slave oligarchy IN Congress, is to be trodden
under foot, and pronounced accursed,
however unexccptionable or valuable it may
be in its other provisions.
Resolved, That the Que great issue before
the country is the dissolution OF the union
Therefore we have given ourselves to the
work of annuling this covenant with death,
IS essential to our own Innocence, and the
speedy and everlasting overthrow OF the
slave power" .....r s.-.-f .....-.r
In 1855, the same party in that State
passed still stronger resolution for disun'"n
declaring: THAT this movement does
not merely seek disunon, but the more per-
feet nnion Of free States by the expul
sion Of the slave States from the contede
ration
In 1855, Ben Wade declared, II really
believe there is no Union between north

The GoveTnor's Pronunciamen5o.

5 profound philosopher who desired to bring
his opponent to shame and aspersion said of
him. ooh! that mine enemy would write book "
If we entertained any malice towards our mo
Bile" Governor and desired to inflict upon him
the greatest injury possibIe, he could not have
gratifed US more than to make just such speech
as he did at the war meeting on Friday night
last Never thee a greater manifestation
of weakness, and at the same time vIndctiSe
ness. His anger anmasked him. Ii developed
the malice OF his heart, and bis real purposes
and opinions. And for that reason we regret
that his speech was not published in fulI. tor
brief report gave only slight idea of its devilsh
spirit.
IL was not any thing that the Sentinel had said
that caused the exhibition of anger BY the Gov
ernor. To be had expressed ourselves
against the policy Of the proposition of the FIVE
Western Governors calling out the militia of
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. but
in language more decided than ours and for rea
sons more potent than those we gave, did the
leading Republican organ of the Northwest de
nOunce the proposition of Governor Moron and
his confed crates. The speech of His ExceIlency
would never have been made, or would the Sen
tinel have been alluded to by him. if it had not
been for the chilling Republican atmosphere that
he inhaled on his return home. The most bitter
denanciatiOns that have heard against the
call came from the partisan friends Of the Gov
ernor of Indiana.
The Governor threatens rs for giving utterance
to the opinions and feelings of his party friends
but he does not know whether he shall do it again.
Upon that point we think the hOnors are easy, for
in opinion the Governor is much indebted
to us as We are to him. This threat comes from
an official who has obligated himself to see that
the laws be faithfully executed and whose highest
duty is to maintain law and order. Ii the prop
erty of citizens, because they do not happen to
agree with the Governor in opinion upon ques-
tiOns of policy. is to be subject to mob violence.
il is time that the people should know it that
they may protect themselves And ifthe Governor
has determined to force those who do not agree
with him in sentiment TO such an issue, be can
have no doubt but they will take prompt measures
to do t, but ON him will rest the responsibility
and it NAV be the consequences of forcing such
q condition of affairs
Enough Of the Governors speech to day. IL
is full of texts for comments and we shall use
them at our convenience.

there should be no sliding scale. If tax was
placed on the stock on hand, to put distlIers
