Another Warning To Whig Abolitionists.--We earnestly entreat those Whig Abolitionists who were intending to vote the third party ticket to read the following before they go to the polls. And remember that the chairman of the third party committee for Franklin county attended the convention which nominated John Smith as a candidate to represent this district in Congress, and took an active part in the proceedings. We learn also, from good authority, that this same third party man is now busily engaged in endeavoring to persuade his brethren to vote for Mr. Smith. We hope all our honest abolition friends will profit by this information. Both Judge Martocks and Mr. Marsh are much more strongly committed in favor of Abolitionism than Mr. Smith has ever been.
