sponsibility of disorganizing the party if it is
to BIO broken up. Giddings, Spa!dmg, and

o ne EdHW " INC N"tfo"" I'"'
Please allow an old soldier, who has served
fifteen years in the ranks Of emancipation, to
give to the public, through your widely-circu-
lated paper plan which may be recommend
ed at the coming Convention at Pittsburgh.
II might appropriately be known las plan
for the better protection of recruits against de-
sertion" Many, doubtless, with myself, have
preyed over the declension Of once valuable
members Of the Anti-Slavcry party, who are
now numbered with our opponents; and could
all such be brought to act right ON this coming
election how would it astound the country,
more especially the politicians! That, however,
cannot be done but to correct this evil IN fu-
ture should be one Of the aims Of the Pittsburgh
Convention. Those who have carefully watch
ed the rise and progress of the Anti-Slave-
~ cause in this country, will be ready to grant
that the desertions from the cause will out
number in their votes those who will vote the
Pittsburgh nominee whoever it might be.
Now, am one who would keep by the use OF
all honorable means those who are once with
us And, now, the plan TO obtain this result
The love OF party is no doubt the first great
cause Of declension how many vell-meaning
Anti-Slavery men, under the party screw, will
in one day undo three hundred and sixty -four
days Slavery work! The Democrat learns
through the Hunker leader, on the morning Of
BE election, that his Wing neighbor is going
for Seott; consequently, 10 kill his vote, as he
