WHO ABE THE ABOLITION ISTS P There are a few Republican friends of the Post who, judging from communica t.ons now before us, do not discriminate between Republicans and Abolitionists. Although the Republican party and organi zation is under the control of old Abo litionists and renegade Democrats, there are thousands in this community who can not and do not sympathize with their revo lutionary teachings. The followers of Henry Clay can have no feeling in com mon with such Abolitionists as the pro prietonrof the Pittsburgh Gazette-men who opposed that great and gallant man eighteen years ago, for no other reason than that he was a slaveholder. These! fanatics have been at their work of con demning the Union for twenty-five years, | and they are the men to whom we allude when we class Northern and Southern traitors together. We beg our couple of i correspondents to keep this in view here- 1 after. . i We once more reiterate the sentiment that we do not confound Republicans with Abolitionists. If any one believes that Republicanism and Abolitionism are synonymous-that the ideas and purposes pt both are one and inseparable, then “let him speak, for him have we offended.” But there can be no occasion for any Republican, who does not accept the per nicious doctrines of Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips— who does not endorse the destructive propositions of Charles Sumner, to feel hurt when Abolitionism is denounced. When we speak of Aboli tionists, we talk of men who believe that the only purpose of this war is to free ths Southern slaves—men who would sweep down State rights, State and National Constitutions and obliterate State lines who would punish alike by law, and with remorseless severity, the Union men and the moderate men of the South (who would sustain the Federal Government if they could, , and the rebels in arms, ■' who are endeavoring to overturn that gov ernment. We look upon Abolitionists as a horde of frenzied fanatics, who ignore and spurn the wholesome, patriotic pride that makes all men prefer and adhere to heir own land, and their own race and their own kin, and who pretend to des pise the feeling, prejudice, call it what you will, that looks upon the negro race as being incapable, and inferior to our own. The sentiment that the white man is superior to the negro is as deep-seated ln tlle white man’s breast, as firm and as unalterable, as any sentiment that he possesses; as strong as his love for | his home, his wife and his children; and tor our part, we freely admit that we join I with the mass of white men in this idea— we do prefer the white fuan to the negro we do think the white man’s happiness,’! is advancement, his permanent good, ere, at least, on our own free soil, should be the first care of the Government, and that these objects and purposes should’ not be sacrificed for the sake of all the 11 J£r#HS‘ under the sun. j If any Republican, let him call himself! whal he will, has embraced the idea that this government, which was made for and by white men, is to be handed over to the African race, and should be henceforth conducted principally for'the benefit of black men, then “let him speak, for him have we offended.” Why are not our Republican friends ag grieved when Wendell Phillips, who says he has been a disunionist for sixteen years is flattered and petted by the Vice Presi dent and the majority in Congress ? Why nre they silent when Phillips declares in the face of the President that the “ war means Hunter s proclamation?” Why not repudiate such atrocious outgivings, and purge their party from such pernicious members ? When the Republicans iifi- any °®cial action, reject these Abolition ideas, and break fellowship with those who utter them; when they shall give to the President, who denies that this war “means Hunter’s proclamation,” that sarty support which he deserves, the whole country will rejoice—and no man can or dare ofiend them' by seeming to class them with Abolitionists. We do not wish to offend any man who ~ n -tt b f‘ ioniSt * W does 'not , Wl ,^ e Abolitionists. We hare acted, and will contin., . “ Te concert with-all loyll r! ! *" heart ? porting the coorse, and in doing" all ween pr ® sent the rebellion, without one thonehT* d ° W “ as to what becomes of“w " *«?

ANDBEWJOHNSTOITS The Gazette of Saturday publifhes some fine extracts from a speech in Nashville, on the' 4th of Jhly, by Gov Johnston. Th t Gazette, in introducing its extracts, said: crZnd fe n V y ,i h i, Tenneflsee Demo ** of »nch the D? er ? with rebellion us of his kidney * 6 P ‘ tt9burel * Post ’ a '* J «11 Being an admirer of Gov. Johnson for wen y years, we feel an increased interest in im now; and in looking over his late speech, from which the Gazette quotes, we discover that that paper has been guilty of the dirty business of selecting just such passages as suited its purposes. For in stance, the following, which we take from ltdoes not differ much from thesentiments I of the Pittsburgh Poet. The Governor said: With the death ot the Federal Union dies slavery The Abolitionists and secel siouistson this point occupy the samestand there is no difference between them The | Abolitionists, such as Wendell Phili p Garrison, and others, denounce President Lincoln as worse than Jeff. Davis. From the hands of these incendiaries on both «4es the people must rescue the Union' There is a great middle party between thesetwo extremes, who mus (.maintain the Government. The work mustbedone by to gSid°e r you.- orl 1 Wait f ° r your ‘* a H From this circumstance the reader can readily imagine the desperation, meanness and dishonesty of Abolitionism. Gov Johnson, like ourself, is doing "all he can to put down secession and Abolition, but, ike the true Union men everywhere, he is the victim of slander and misrepresenta tion, both by traitors in the South, aud the no less dangerous Abolitionists of the North. B@L. Col. ft. Biddle ftoberts, of this city, our readers will be pleased to learn, has been promoted; the President has nominated him for Brigadier General “for gallant conduct” in the late fights before Richmond. From a returned wounded Captain, who participated in the late engagements, we learn that Col. Roberts behaved most gal lantly in them all. On the second day of I the fight he was mounted at the head of j his regiment, and for five hours, with other intrepid officers, maintained his ground against vastly superior numbers. A correspondent from Athens, Alabama, writes as follows:—Foremost amongthe noticeable peculiarities ol Northern Al abama and Northern Mississippi is the lact that there is still left immense quanti ties of cotton, notwithstanding the ukase of Beauregard that it should all be burned, and which the planters arc ready to dis nofd 6 °Tt, f the - <’ Urc l haser9 will advance gold, the prices heretofore have not been as remunerative to the planter as mo„r r h a 'T-’ Wh ° " early doubles his Th ’ n by i 11 ‘o New York “ hold the . staple product have been selling at prices that will scarcely cover the cost of cultivation, and the buyer has not hesitated to take advantage ot the nccesities of the planters, hying on. he platform of the depot, at this P°‘“ t a ™“PWards of a thousand bales of cotton, the property of Northern purcha sers, which cost, Oil an average, fourteen cents, and not in reality that much, for a/ Iff portlon waa for goods at extravagant rates.
