"The Abolitionists have sent to our office a long advertisement, for the insertion of which the money was paid to our clerk. We beg leave to say, most emphatically, that we cannot permit ourselves to be used, either directly or indirectly, to follow their hellish and dangerous schemes. Were we confident that the city would throw us in a minority for years, our columns shall not be cumbered with an advertisement even, which would go to aid in the dissolution of our Union, and a violation of the constitutional compact. The Abolitionists are the coadjutors of the British Whigs—their every sympathy is with them—let them publish their proceedings in the columns of British Whig newspapers. The persons who left the advertisement will please call, and we will refund the money left."
