In the late second edition Of the Hartford Con.


vention, held in the federal city Of Boston, son
OF John Quincy Adams boldly advocated the
policy of making the slavery question the ,es, il,
all elections hereafter in tho FREQ S,a,es This is
clear indication that the abolitonists now feel
their own power, and that they intend 10 have tha,
power felt in future political contests. Id tho
late contest they cast 65 900 votes for Mr.. Brney,
and they were so distributed as to show that thew
held the balance Of powerin most Of the Northern
States. The proposition Of the younger Adams
shows that they intend to exert their power in
controlling the elections in these States. To this
state Of things we have looked with fearful appre.
tensions. The anti-slayery feeling has resolved
to rule or dissolve the Union. 1t becomes tho
Southern people to look closely into this state of
things. There is danger that the an,i.slayery
influence will sweep over the whole north
Hitherto the democracy has presented the onv
barrier to It's progress. But how long they will
continue 10 breast the popular current in view of
the indifference manifested towards the subject in
the South, is altogether uncertain. How can wa
expect our northern democratic friends TO stand
out against the local influences constantly brought
10 bear against them in their resistance of abolition
movements, when southern wings show no dispo.
sllon to rebuke such proceedings as have lately
taken place in Massachusetts,. Is it not strange
that Southern politicians can look on with silence
at such assemblages as that in Boston, and that
southern whig editors can pass them by with
scarcely passing noiicei If we are to meet this
crisis successfully we must meet it with undivided
ranks IN the South-we must meet it promptly and
lirmly.-NashriHe Union.
