The New Hampshire Gazette

The Abolitionists are trying to kick up a bobbery in respect to the Ohio election. Among other horrible crimes of Governor Vance, they have discovered that he delivered up some individual of Brown county, Ohio, indicted in Mason county, Ky. for abducting slaves, upon the requisition of the Governor of Kentucky. We always told the Whigs that the Abolitionists, directly or indirectly, would throw their influence in favor of Van Buren. The party that coaxes them most, will be sure to lose them. Mr Van Buren and his party omit no opportunity to give them a kick, and in return they lick his hand. Just so we have found it in our own experience. While we stretched both our consciences and our judgements to please them, we got nothing but abuse for our courtesy; but since we have taken to "calling things by their right name," they have become very civil.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce

We don't blame the Journal of Commerce for trying to cut acquaintance with the Abolitionists. They are worse than the itch to any party;—real Marplots. Heaven forefend they should ever make the least advances towards a union with the Democratic party. We would do anything to keep them off, and if coaxing will do it as the Journal of Commerce seems to think, we would even call them right down clever fellows; but we suppose nobody would believe what we said;—and we should take care to say in an under tone that we hoped they wouldn't.

We thought about the same of the Anti-masons though they were a leetle mite the cleverest of the two, if there be any preference between the skunk and the hedge-hog. We thought it best for the Democratic party to have nothing to do with them. This was the course in New-Hampshire, and here they scarce found a resting place for the soles of their feet. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island they endeavored to coax them into the Democratic ranks, and perhaps gained some little temporary advantages but what did it amount to? Experience proved that they were not to be depended on.
