Abolitionism

The Dubuque Herald asks if the Davenport GAZETTE has set its face against abolitionism?  Against such as Wendell Phillips formerly taught when he preached disunionism and the Dubuque Herald now proclaims, it is and always has been opposed.  To such “abolitionism” as Wendell Phillips now advocates, it gives a hearty assent.
