There can no longer be even theslght- |
est doubt in the mind of any candid man,
that as a political party, the aboliionis,s
will exert a mighty influence on the next
Presidential election. They have already
appointed their central and sub-mittees, aud
appointed travelling agents to harangue tie
people in several of the Northern States,
with this avowed object in view. Ii isal
important to us who are so deeply Interested


in the peaceable continuance Of the institu-
tions of the South, to know in whose favor
this influence will be cast--and which of
the two prominent names now before the
public, it elected, would be most likely to
aid in forwarding the views and purposes of
the fanatics. And here again we are not
left to doubt Any candid man who has
read the abolitionist journals during the
past year, and has seen the Insectves they
have heaped upon Mr. Clay, must be fully
satisfied that they will not, under any cir
cumstances, give their sulrages for him.
Further than this, several of these journals
have expressed decided preference for
Martin Van Buren,, and are now supporting
his pretensions with zeal and ardor, rare
ly surpassed by the veriest stipendiary in
the whole editorial corps Of loco foco hire
flings.


No sensible, weli-informed man can be-


lieve that Mr. Clay has ever favored the
mad schemes of the aboIitionists. The whole
course Of his long public life gives the lie
direct to the charge. In spite of this, how
ever, the. Natchez Free Trader has, for
months, been publishing "proofs" that Mr..
himself is an abolItonist! With the view
of making known the truth in regard to
this matter, we make this proposition to the
editor of The Free Trader; X he will repub-
lish the accompanying extracts, we will re-
ciprocate by republishing all his "prools" of
Mr.. Clay's abolitionism. VIII you do it,
Mr.. Free Trader2 We shall see. tt.
