The morning after the Wing nominations Tor
President and Vice President were known in cur
CITY the common Iibelcr OF the Herald came out
with the broad, naked assertion that Mr.. Frellng-
huysen was an Abolitionist, and this falsehooo
has been since travelling around the Loco-t oco
journals of the South, with such variations ano
embellishments as fancy Or party rancor has
dic,ated-such as that Bennett is impartial, ia
yorable TO the Wings, &c. The slander has been
in every way contradicted, and yet the uttere'
has never rcracted nor explained 1t; and TO this
dav earnest inquiries are received from the South
inouiring if Mr.. F. had really been connectca
with the Abolition party!


The answer is very simple: Mr.. ffeinghuy-
sen .euer was in any way connected with the
Abolitionists nor claimed by them as inclined to
their school, On the contrary, his consistent.
untiring attachment to the Colonization cause has
rendered him obnoxious to hostility from them
though we doubt not it springs from as sincere
and lively (howevcr mistaken) regard for The
welfare of the African Race us that which am
mates the Abolitunists themselves His vnndca-
tions OF the Colonization cause, through our higher
periodicals and every where, have been arden
and effective.


OF course we do not suppose that these facts
will commend Mr. f. TO the favor oi the new
Southern school OF which Messrs. Calhoun ant
McDuffie are the leading apostles. lie does not
wo are confident, regard Slavery as g blessing
TO be perpetuated and extended On the con
trary, he doubtless concurs in the sentiments
with regard to it of Washington, Madison, Mar
shall, CLAY, and all the old school OF Southern
as well as Northern Statesmen, though we do no
remember that he has ever expressed himself Oh
the subject so directly and iorciby as Washing
ton and Jefferson dd-as he might have done had
he lived, like them, at the South. But while Mr.
Frelinghuysen has never indicated any sympathy
with the new ianatlclsm ofthe South, winch makes
Slavery the cornerstone of Freedom, he hes cyel
stood Just as thoroughly aloof from It's Northern
counterpart, which undertakes to persuade the
masters to emancipatc their slaves by calling
them man.stcalers,' robbers, pirates, &c. &c
Mr.. Frenghysen is by temperament, by chalae-
ter, and by mature conviction, of quite another
school. He has sworn TO support the Federal
Constitution, and he will fulfil 10 the end the oh.
legations imposed by that oath, both in their letter
and thar snirit
