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

GOV. 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

advised the disuse of ail medicines, the

a space of twenty feet square, in his gar
