Abolitionists and Abolitionism.

[ NJ y.
MEssRs. EDITORS The Abolitionists are
unwilling, perhaps incapable, Of learning
wisdomfrom the Fathers, or their Democratic
descendants, and therefore do not dispense
justice aud Judgment and equity among white
men, nor the States of this Union. They
are subtle, and simple, and have no discre-
ton.
They say, tCome with us, let us lay in
wait for blood, let US lurk privily for the In
nocent and slay the Democrats without
cause; let us swallow them up alive, as the
grave and whole, as those that go down
into the pit. (" "We Abohtionists shall then
find all precious substance, let us fill our
houses with spoils from the South, such as
pianos, melodeons, organs, violins, guitars,
ffes, drums and jewshaps, handicapped
bureaus, rosewood bedsteads, stands and
tables, looking glasses large and small,
clocks, gold and silver watches, gold and
silver spoons, knives and forks, silver sugar
bowls and tongs, silver cream pitchers, whis-
key, wine and brandy, rich and beautiful
paintings, maps, valuable books, important
documents, shoes and boots, for honest old
Abes stationery, photographs, .keepsakes,
mementoes Of gold and silver, rings, breast
pins, lockets. Iaces, silks, shawls, broad
cloths, good clothes of all kinds, fast horses,
plated harness and saddles, fine carriages,
carpets, money and other valuables too nu-
merous to mention, They cry, Cast in
thy lot among us loyalists,' let us rleaugers'
all have one purse, and while we shrek for
the Union, we will fill our purse from the
treasury Of. the nation, and the Southern
States"
But say unto the Democrats, and all
other patriots, walk not in the way with
those traitors, refrain your feet from their
Abolition paths, for their feet run to evil,
and that continually, and they make haste
TO shed the blood of white men; yea they
lay in wait and lurk secretly to destroy their
own race. Such are the ways of the Aboli-
tionists, for they are all greedy of unjust
gains, and take away the rights, and even
the lives of others to obtain that property
How long, you fanatieal Abolitionists, will
you love Abolitionism and the nigger, and
hate white men and women, who viii not
bow down and worship your idol? How long
will you scorn the Constitution and the I'm
ion of the States, burn the one, and de-
nounce the other as "league with death
and covenant with hell?"
Will you Abolitionists forever contemn the
flag, and with Horace Greeley assail it as
Haunting lie, and hates polluted rag"
and exhort its enemies to tear it down" and
s'deep sink it In the waves, and yet, from
the most corrupt and selfish motives you
pretend to love the Constitution, and respect
the Union, and adore the flag, our national
ensign, the red white and blue. -
"Woe unto you hypocrites for you are
ike unto whited sepulchres, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are within
full of extOrtion, excess and all unceanness.
'Woe unto you, hypocrites for you com
pass sea and land to make one proselyte

make him two-fold more the child of hell
than yourselves Woe unto you hypo-
critics ! for you pay 1.-THE of mint and anise
and cumin into your own party treasury, but
omit the weightier matters of your own law,
and persistently neglect to pay taxes on the
gold and silver watches, plate, pianos, and
all the other valuables you stole from the old
men and helpless women and children In the
South, this tax you ought to pay, but the
other you might leave undone. 'sWoe
unto you hypocrites you devour widows
houses, and out of pretence your priests
make long prayers, but for all this shall you
receive the greater damnation. You are
blind guides who strain at a gnat and swal-
low negro. Ye serpents, ye generations of
blowing yipers, how can you escape the dam
nation of hellf'' But l apprehcnd your
official days are numbered; you deceivers

wanting. Therefore the people will turn
you disunion Abolitionists out of Office, and
send honest men to fill your places. And
the people will laugh at your calamity, they
will mock when your fear cometh as desola-
ton, and your destruction cometh as a
whirlwind, and distress and anguish shall
overtake you.
Then will the people say, ''dowD, down
you demons in human shape, down to he'll,
and tell your father, the devil, of whom you
are, and whose works you will do, tell him
that we, the people, sent you thither, we
who neither pity, love, nor fear you.
You disunion Abolitionists being thus dis
posed of, the Democracy and other Conser-
vative men will reign supreme; the North
and the South be again united, and that
Union, as it existed in the ''hearts and affec-
tions of the American people, be again
restored to bless the world through the tai
ent and honesty of Its statesmen, and the
purity and patriotism of our whole people
