From the tone of the abolition papers Of
the north, there cannot be even the slight
est doubt that the abolitionists are being
formed into regular political party, with
the view of exerting an influence on the
next Presidential election. This is now a
notorious fact, and is openly ayowed by the
LEADING journals Of the fanatics-which are
being multiplied and sustained by indiyidu-
al donations, at a great sacrifice, in order
10 discipline and drill their forces, SO as TO
bring them to bear with the greatest possl-
BILE effect upon this one point. Such being
fbe fact. il is important to US as southrons-
interested in the peaceable continuance OF
our southern institutions--that we should
ascertain who will be the candidate in whose
favor they will exert their influence during
the canvass, and for whom they will at last
cast their votes. In this We shall have no
difficulty; for the leading men and journals
of the party have lately thrown Oft all dis
cuise, and avowed decided preference for
Martin Van Buren, before any other man
now spoken of as a candidate for the Presl-
dency. Indeed, many of them are now ad
yocatipp his claims to the Presidency solely
on the ground of his favoring abolition prln-
ciples s;-while at the same time they show
their dislike for the principles of MIR. Clay
by charging him with "want of philanthro-
py," with "holding his fellow-men in bond
age" "enslaving those who bear the image
,ofGod," &c. &C., and applying to him all
the vile epithets which they are wont to use
when speaking Of the South, its Institutions
and its men. The abolitionists and the 10
co focos are playing deep and somewhat
mysterious game-and we verify believe
that developments of their dOings, plans
and schemes will soon be made, which will
startle every true friend to his country


In order to show the preference of the
Abolitionists as a political party, we make
the following extracts from thcir admitted
organs:


From the Pennsylvania Freeman, one Of
che most riOlent abolition pdpers:


ave regret that truth and the cause of
humanity. which he has betrayed, compel
us 10 speak of HENRY CLAY as an enemy
4. co,doru "His re-
cent course in the Senate Of the U. States,
has reluctantly compelled us TO consider him
n most dangerous ENEMY to the cause of
UNIVERSAL LIBERTY"


The editor then proceeds to notice Mr..
Cls,'s anti-abo!ilion resolutions introduced
into the Senate this year, and in reference
