sovereignty of the States to shield the Consututioh
from fatal wound, and the institution of slavery from
the deah-col of Abolitionsm the States Rights re-

And now I come important question Does
the result of that election prove that the Compromise
is Just or that the principles of the States Rights Re
publican party are wrong! 1t PROFESSIONALLY proves
neither the one nor the other. Why then should all
opposition to the principles of the COMPROMISE aboml-

the States and consequent right of secesson-equai-

same rights and the protection for the Shareholder
in the territories of the United States as is given to
the Northern man any and all property which he
NAV carry with him. Shall the old and vital princi-
pies the very groundwork of Repubcansm, be de-
serted to form an alliance with such Foote,
Cobb Clemens, ct i'd genus, who, to secure Ma

But it will be asked--What is to be effected by
separate organization of the States Rights Republican
party Much in many ways: That party is now the
casket of the Republican principles of Jefferson and
Madison aud the maintenance of these principles will
alone perpetuate the Constitution in its true letter and
spirit When has any difficulty arose in our country
under Democratic rule Never The only hope,
therefore, for the continuance Of slavery and the exs
