POUTICAL ABOUTIOX THE NASHVILLE
- UNION.
It has been the great and leading object
of the Southern loco foco part for the
list twelve or eighteen months, to fii on
the H lag party, and especially Mr. tlaj,
who thej expect to be the wing candidate
for the Presidency, the odium of Aboli
tion; Knowing how esjreineij sensitive
the people of tlie South are on this subject,
regular and systematical plan ol opera-
lions was auopteu ana carried out simul
taneously by the loco-foco organs and pol
iticians of the southern Mates, to excite
the prejudices of the people n tins sub
ject, aud induce them to believe that by
withholding their support Irom Air. van
Buren, they would promote the cause of
Abolition. They mounted the Abolition
hobby nrd exported 1o rrde " tkrwn-H-op:
position to modern - vtmoeraty. 1 he
news-papers with reckless audacity made
the unfounded chary, and it was tri
umphantly echoed oy every loco-foco
stump orator, and re-echoed by every
grog-shop declaimer, and aspiring dema
gonge in the country. Their object evi
dently was to divert the minds of the peo
ple Iroin a consideration ol the odiou mea
sures ol the administration, anil prevent
an investigation of its anli republican prin
ciples. The loco-foco candidates, instead
of delending the administration and its
doctrines, a ihe people bud. a right to ex.
pect theui to do, chose rather to make the
foul abolition charge ' against the ff'higt,
and thus throw them on the defensive;
hoping thereby to screen the Adnmistra-
tion envlhat rigid tending and full ex
position which tru-y knew would be given
by the Whigs. At the same time that
the party were charging the whig with a
union with the Abolitionintf they utterly
and positively denied the existence of ah-
olitioiL in .their owOauksi Their cun i
duct in this matter, ha exhibited a degree
of baseness and wilful disregard of truth,
unparraiieieu in me History ui our coun
try
ocracy, that ts tyuAi
men.' On this broad principle the' prin
ciple ot "equal right To ALL MN' the
Abolitionists profess to set, and claim un
der it the absolute right to abolish the in
stitution of slavery. This is democracy-'
this is abolition "nothing more than e
qual right $ ti all men." 80 says the Bay
State Democrat, an accredited organ of
the party, under the coutrol of an officer
of the General government at Boston.
Mr. Van Buren it seems also does not hes
itate to appoint, Abolitionists to fill impor
tant offices. Look at the case ol the late
Wm. Legget Had a fFhig appointed
such a man, or had a distinguished whig
even voted at an election for ts notorious
an Abulitionist as Mr. Leggett, we should
never have heard the last of it from the
loctftfoco papers. The people of the
South would have been called upon to
eland btt their arms!" and be prepared to
"$hed their lael drop of blood in defence of
their righln" But Mr. Leggett's Aboli
tionism seems in nave ueen nooojecuou

he was obliged.. to nave Jus reward-.-,,. . ..
But ! tte tho-t glaringly outrsgeous case
hich has yet come to oar knowledge, is
that of the editor of the Nashville Union,'
which .has Lately been brought to light by
the indefatigable editor ofhe Nashville
Banner. We have briefly touched upon
this subject on a former occasion. In an
other column will be founder article from
the Banner, with proof potilive, from its
own mouth of the abolitionism of the edi
itor of the Union to which we invite the
serious attention of our readers. This
Union" editor, formerly edited a pspej"
in xew iieoioni, massecnuseiis. wnicn
was devoted to Abolition and Democracy.
He advocated the election of Mr. Van
Buren. and labored to induce the abol-
tionitti and fiek nkghoes to five him
their support. He onnosed the election
of Mr. Rted, the Whir csndidste for
Congress, on the sround that he was on-
poted to abolition and Ja favour of the
rtghti of the South. Such is the charac
ter of the ma) sent out by the party to la
bor in the loco-foco vineyard ol Tennessee.

Rumoured naaaton if Tfcxi The rumours
published in a New Orleans paper, that Mex
ico is about to invade Texas, with an army of
10,000 men, with Santa Anna at their head,
and show no qnarter to either age or Sex, ap
pears to be without foundadon. General Le
mus, Who is at the head of a very large Fed
eral force, has taken possession of Ssltillo
and Monterry, the only two passes that afford
Sn entrance for an army into Texas. Be-
x sides, ills hardly probable that the Mexican
government would attempt to march an army
into Texas, and leave Lemus with his force
in open rabelllori against the Central Govern-
- mant. The truth iayBusUmente and SasK-
ts Anna haaw.more to fear from Lemus than

General, and his forces are increasing daily,
A rancorous feeling of deadly hostility exists
between Lemus and Santa Anns, growing,
