THK WHIas AND THE ABoLrTroNIsrs.-The war
OF the wings upon The aboitonlsts, and particular.
~ on Mr.. Birney, has been carried on hercely for
three or four weeks. The principal journals enga-
ged in this war have been the whg papers Of New
York and the 4aibany Evening Journal, with their
echoes throughout this State and New England.
For time they have ceased their furious attack
upon Mr.. Pek-hs grandfather reposes quietly in
his grave-and the locofocos are REGARDED almost
with quiet contempt. The whole of the whig pow
der and shot has been expended on the abolitoniss
and poor Mr. Birney.


We have endeavoredto to make some inquiry as to
the policy and success of this war-whether it will
not have the effect of increasing the obstinacy of
the abolitioniss, and stimulating them with still
more resolute support of their own candidate. The
result Of these inquiries leads to believe that this
pelicy Of the wings will prove extremely suicidal
to Mr.. Clay, and that the movement originally set
on foot by certain whig members of Congress, out
of spite against southern men, has put the fortunes
of the whig party into extreme peril and jeopardy
At the recent elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio
have seen the abolitonists increasing fearfully,
in Ohio in particular. In that State they have re-
duced the wing majority of some thousands to a
few hundreds. In this State they have 5000
votes, and when il is recollected that Harrison's
majority was $4,000, very proper estimate will
easily be formed Of the danger to be apprehended
from the aboltionists OF the imperial State in this
election. if they resolutely abide by their own can
didates.


The only wise course to have been adopted by
the wings in this critical emergency was that re.
commended by us to Thurlow Weed some time
ago. We advised him and the wings to barter their
own local ticket in the abolition counties for the
abolition vote in favor of Mr.. Clay. That advice
was disregarded. If Mr.. Clay be defeated, he may
ascribe his defeat entirely to Mr.. Slade and Mr..
Giddings, and those other friends Of his, who in
the House Of Representatives commenced the agi-
tation about the right Of petition, and thereby
organized this abolition party which now presents
such an imposing and alarming 'front.' Nothing
but skilful direction of the s'Native' movement
can now save Mr.. Clay in the States of New York
and Philadelphia.
