The great leader of the Northern Wings in the
House of Representatives, (Mr. Adams) and the
chief agitator on Abolition has lately taken occa
he would cote against the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia" But let it be observed
that al the same time he avows himself TO be in fa-
of act of Congress prohibit the slave trade
as he calls it, between the States In other words,
he would prohibit owner of slaves, in N. Caroll-
ma from removing them to Alabama, or elsewhere


Truly, he changes from bad to worse. He means
but to take higher ground against the South; and
we may add against the Union. 1t is certain that
the attempt to enforce such law would be resist
ed and ought to be resisted by the Southern States
Congress has no more right to enact it, than it has
to prohibit man in Massachusetts from sending
Goldfish to North Carolina from Boston; or to pro-
hibit manufacturer of New-England from ship
ping his cloths to our ports for sale.


1t is very far from being pleasant to to recur
so frequently to what must think is reprehensi-
BILE in the federal press, whenever this dark subject
is touched upon. Though we have no great cause
be thankful for any peculiar forbearance their
part towards the Standard, it is any thing but "a
greeabe to witness the of the federal pres
ses, on Abolition, when it is agtated by 'Whigs."
Faithfulness to our trust demands however that we
should speak out and shall dare to do our duty.


Even in communicating this new movement OF
Mr.. Adams, of the federal papers inform their
readers what he has said about Abolition in the
Distrct-yet they forget to add what he says about
Abolition in the States.
