I nets, stubborn facts, now warrant us
in charging the coalition of Federalists
and Nullifiers, as the real Adomtion
party.—lt was during the last session of
Congress, that the corrupt alliance was
formed between Wise and others, oftlie
Di unionists and Nullifiers, and Slade
nnd other fanatical Abolitionists, for the
unholy purpose of agitating, and even
of ifn-tlog asiimleij mir -Mm. •

the mad-cap tools of the Nullifiers and of
the i'ederal Abolitionists, to keep up all
Abolition excitement, for the purpose of
advancing lie. ir party achemns, mu’ pre
venting the Republican members nnd the
friends ol Mr. Ann Burcri from putting a
stop to the course of the fanatics, nnd dr
feniiiig their purposes of agitation ard
mischief!
Anil yet, the pie-bald supporters of
Judge V» liite have the audacity to charge
Abolition upon the democratic party,
when their whole conduct lias shown,
that tin y are the hypocritical and corrupt
fun utors and sustainers, not only of ah •-
lltio.i, hut nfpnlitiral fanaticism ! Every
movement of the federal nullifying party,
since the adjournment of Congress,
serves but to demonstrate the UuffV
our charge against them. It now tttrns
mi’, that the eoavtiisive horror they at
one tune manifested at the bare mention
of abolition, was hypocritical cant! for
we see those who cali themselves Wiiito

support of AA bite upon the circumstance
of his being a Southern man, opposed to

these fierce declaimers against abolition
ism: we see them leaguing, holding polit
ical fellowship, with the notorious Abo

Calhoun, in company with Col. Gadsden
—as appears from a long letter of his in
the Pendleton Messenger—lias spent 8
days in examining a route across the Al
leghany, about 3o or 40 miles to tin*
North-East of the Rabun Cup; and from
his account ot it, it would appear to pre
sent even less obstacles to he overcome
than those of either of the other routes
which have been examined. It'appears
that the elevation to he overcome is not
greater on sections of this route than 25
or 30 feet a mile, and by piercing the
ridge with a tunnel not exceeding 200
yards, it would give a beautiful run near
ly level for It) miles on the summit of the
Alleghany, from the fall of otie stream
w hich empties into the Eastern vallev, to
the faii of another stream which empties
into the Western valley, and the head
waters of which arc within a few i'eet of
each other. The communication of Mr.
Calhoun, will probably result in a full
examination of this route, and perhaps it
may be the one finally selected.”

44 1 content myself on this occasion, with
saying, that I consider myself the honor
ed instrument selected by the friends of the
Administration, to carry out its principles
and policy, and, as well from inclination
as from duty, I shall, if honored with the
choice of the American People, endeavor
to tread generally in the footsteps of Pres
ident Jackson, —happy if I shall be able
to perfect the work which he has so glori
ously begun."
44 I prefer that not only you, but all the
people e.j th; I n.fed Shifts, shall nous
understand, that, if the desire of that
portion of them which is favorable to my
elevation to the Chief Magistracy be grat--

Chair the ifkiiite an l uncompromising
opponent of any attempt fi ABOLISH
