would soon prove themselves the best

would find it to be so; but if they were
not permitted quietly and peaceably to

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1843
See Fist Page.
We see, in many of the newspapers, ix
tracte from a speech of Mr. O'Connell, in
regard to Abolitionism in this country.—
.
Th, Gazette, of this city, quotes some of
these extracts, and has made frequent allu
sion to them. They are not used by that
paper, however, in that spirit aphilantliro.
py which rejoices over the acqtri,ition of
a great ally in a cause they Lelit ve to be
good, but ate thrown out the evident
hope of confusing and vexing those who
admire O'Connell'„ patriotism, and respect
him for his glorious efforts in the cause of
Roped, but who look with regret on his
impetuous and ill advised advocacy of the
fanatical party in this country, who go for
immediate, unconditional Abolition.
We are free to confess the regret we feel
at the vehement tone in which Mr O'Con
nell discusses the question of Abolition.—
It is probable that he derives his filets and
feelings in relation to slavery in this coun
try, from the high-wrought and bigoted
representations of Abolition lecturers and
papers. And it is a source of constant re
gret to his friends here, that he should pay
so-awl attention to those extravagant, and
too often, unfounded- statements.
If Mr O'Connell knew all the sentiruents
and characteristics of those who support
Abolition in this country—if he knew the
base. unworthy purposes to which his ho
nest expressions of indignation against the
principle of Slavery are put, we are confi
dent be would not give them so many op.
portunities to abuse his good intentions.-
- We are firmly convinced that they set more
value on his Abolition efforts, because of
their tendency to injure the Repeal cause
- in this country, than for any advantage they
map be to the Anti. Slavery cause.
It is a well known fact that the Aboli
tionists of this country and Mr O'Connell
have really no feelings and sentiments in
eonnon. They are engrossed with one
lash.tna seem to have no disposition to ex
tend the grasp of their intellects. They are
blind or callous to every other system of
•boman oppression, save that practised up.

absolutely nothing. Who ever heard au

Mr g o Ckisteeti should accomplish gt 1, $Ol - I is
contending' for,induttilag dibdikfini of
slavery, they would decide that he should
fail in air—their repugnance to his' other
objects so much outweigh their hatred to
slavery.
What, then, can Mr O'Connell gain by
ministering to the vid tastes of these
narrow.minded fanatics ? Nothing, most
assuredly—vvhile he certainly is in dan
ger of creating a prejudice against his
cause in the South, and coolness in a vast
majority of the minds of the North, who
despise the cant of Abolitionism.
We would not be understood as finding
fault with Li'Connell with holding Abol.
ition principles. Far from it. There is
no doubt but he is as honest in his feelings
relative to slavery, as he is in regard to
Repeal. All we object to, is the utterance
of sentiments, for, and joining in denuncia.
tion with, the Abolitionists of this country.
He may lessen his great usefulnes by Err
doing—he cannot, through such means ad'.
vance the cause of human liberty nne step.
(rt• Our friends of the "Aorora" expe
rience considerable trouble in getting fair.
ly under way. The influenz i had a very
bad influence on their "debut," and we be»
lieve the puffs of the Gazette and the com.
placent manner in which they received
thetu,'have not been of any distinguished
advantage to them. However,we think it is
probable that when the paper starts again,
it will be issued regularly, as we observe
Messrs Flinn & Keine have formed a part
nership with Mr Poindexter, the gentle,
man who owns the office in which the Au
rare is printed, and he will, of course, feel
bound to do all in his power to establish it
permanently. Mr P. has always been a
decided Whig in politics, but we presume
that will not disqualify him to be one of
the editors of the Aurora. It is true, we
do not like the principle of Coons poaching
on Democratic domains, but as the gentle ,
men who got up the Aurora had other
ob
jects in view beside that of advancing the
interests of the Democratic party, perhaps
a Whig will suit their purposes as well as
any other.
We may as well state here, that we
, have no intention of getting into a pro
f longed controversy with the Aurora, by
which it would obtain more public attention
than it can in any other wry. Our only
object in noticing it at all, was for the pur
pose of exposing the base nal Lives of its
origin, and to inform its projectors that it e
'understood them. The charges that we
made have not been distinctly denied, nor
has any cal been made on us for the proof,
which we said we were prepared to give
when it might be dernat.ded, to substan
tiate our charge.
We will here drop the Aurora, with the
remark, that if any of its "backers" doubt
our statement as to the arguments used by
one of the editors for the purpose of getting
patronage for his paper,and will call on us,
accompanied by that gentltrnan, wn will
substantiste the charge with testimony
that he dare not deny.
FOUND GUILTY.—James W. Anderson,
who killed Washington B ailey, of his ci
ty, at Napoleon, Ark. has been sentenced
to the Penitentiary for five years.
At the recent term of the,courts of Oyer
and Termioer in Trenton five convict s
were sentenced to the New Jersey State
Prison, for terms varying from one year to
six.
Quite a strange visiter recently appear

and a smoke.pipe in the centre.
Two men were detected on Fri,lay 16 , 11'
in the act of leaving an infant male child in
the neighborhood of Greenwich, Ct., but
liberated on giving security that the child
should not be left upon the town. It is
supposed they carried the child elsewhere
to dispose of it in a similar manner.
