The meeting in Winham county, Connecticut,
held the 9th of January, 1888, by Abolitionists,
to denounce the votes of our Democratic RepublI-
can brethren of the North, clearly establishes the
identity of these two parties. AS part of the
preamble and resolutions passed at that meeting,
reprobating and denouncing General Holt, one of
the Democratic Republican members from that
State, for his vote Mr.. PArroN's resolution, so
eminently calculated to save the Republic from
dsunion and perhaps most bloody revolution;
the following extracts taken from the procee-
dngs:


At an adjourned meeting of the Widham Coun-
ty Anti-Slavery Society, held at Chaplin, Tues
day, January 9, 1885, the following resolutions
were unanimously passed:


Whereas, the House of Representatives of the
United States, by an unwarrantable assumption of
power, contrary to the spirit of the Constitution,
and in violation of the rights and liberties of the
of December, 1897, pass the following resolution:


''Resolved, That all petitions, memorials
and papers touching the abolition Of SLAVERY, or
the buying, selling or transferring Of slGreS an
any STATE, DtSH1ct, or IeTrttTy 81 me CnIen
States, be laid upon the table rithout being de-
6Gted, printed, read, or REFERRED and that no
further action 1rhatever shall be had thereon"


And whereas it appears that three ofthe delegates
from this State, viz Holt, Phelps, Whttlesey,
with forty-eight others from the nominally free
States, voted in the affirmative on the passage of
said resolution


RESOLVED, That our Representative in Con-
gress from this District Orrin Holt by his vote in
favor of the resolution above quoted, virtually de-
nying the right of petition, has mIsrepresented
his constituents and proved recreant TO the trust
reposed in him by those who gave him his seat
in Congress.


In addition to this, and number of other in
stances of the kind, it is fact too notorious to be
denied, that the Abotionists have constantly kert
up regular fire and denunciation against the
course of our Republican friends here from that
quarter who have boldly stepped forward in defence
ofthe Constitution and the Union, while pIaudits
Of the highest appreciation daily awarded the
Whig party, in and out of Congress, by those reck-
less disturbers of the peace and harmony of our
Government
