Il will be perceived from this extraordinary do
cument that the abolitionists do not make the an
nexation of Texas prominent question in their
particular movement They actually consider the
admission Of Texas into the Union measure
that would assist them in their grand ultimate pro-
ject of emancipating the whole black population Of
the South. From this view which they take Of the
Texasquestlon, 1t IS very evident that they will re-
pei with great severity all the approaches at COM
promise presented to them by the whig party, or
by any other party. Their purpose is to form poll
teal organzation-to create great party at the
north and in the free States, which will compel the
other two parties to succumb to their views, so
as to carry their agitation and schemes into
Congress and general legislation. This is the
most dangerous position for the peace and happi-
of the country that the abolitionIss take;
and with such purposes guiding them in their pre-
sent movements, we do not see the least possi-
bility Of compromise being effected with them
by the wings. In fact, we believe, that if Mr..
Clays election is going TO be saved by his friends,
the only mode in which they can accomplish
it, is by turning right round and abstracting as
many abolition votes as possible from the l0cofo-
cos, so as to render the chances Of the two great
parties somewhat less unequal than it now appears
they are likely to be on the day Of election.


As matters now stand, il is very evident that the
abolition party in the State of New York, through
out New England, and in the other free States,
will control the movements and operations OF the
two parties hereafter, and may, in process OF time,
produce a.complete dissolution Of the whig party,
30 as to endanger the peace and safety OF this
Union, creating corresponding impulse anu
movement at the South, that may bring down the
whole fabric OF the constitution in ruins upon US all
