No THE UNIDENTIFIED AND CANDID OF
ALL PARTIES.
You all see and acknowledge that the extra
ordinary aggressions of the Southern Slave Pow
en- during the past six months, and the still
moro extraordinary position which our National
Administration has assumed, in yielding Itself
UP entirely to that odous sectional interest, has
brought about a new crisis in our politics, and
presented a new issue to the frsemen of the
North--an issue which complete overrides and
makes obsolete all the cid ISSUES OF your re-
spectiyo parties, and an issue which you all also
see and admit must now be mot as the singh.
great and all-absorbing question before the
country, whether the liberties and political in
dependence of the North shall be maintained
Or both be trodden down and lost in the univer'
sal domination of Slavery through the Union.
And you arc all likewise free to say that tn
fate involved in the latter alternative must and
shall be prevented, and equally free to say yo'
are DESTROYS to put yourselves in a position where
you can most efficiently act for the accomplish
mont Of that purpose.
The question, then, is, or should be, witt
you all, where that position can be found Yo
are all we'll aware that the great point Of Tho
tactics Of the South is to go united for their
own interests, and prevent the same unity in the
North, by keeping up the old parties, and con-
trolling the one that promises to be able to al,
them the most effectually. Each Of these OIL.
parties at the North they have favored in turn.
for the sake Of controlling it for their own ends
during the last twelve or fifteen years, and EACH
having co l,foaght it into disrepate with the
people, and 50 weakened it as to be of no us
to thct, they have in turn discarded for its mora
promising rival. Their last hack has been the
Democratic party. which they have 80 irreoover-
ably ruined for the next Presidential campaign
that they will now soen discard it, and turn It
the Wing party as their next proteg. and victim
And so, you well know, it will ever be, SO long
as they can contriyc to keep up the old party
organizations, which they make and ever intenc
to make mere hacks, to be alternately ridder
and ruined in strengthening their accursed in
stitution and establishing its supremacy
This the Free Democracy have long preached
but in vain. Now, however, you of the masses
alarmed at the pitch of enormity to which tn,
Slayeocratic South have driven the Adminstra
ton, have very generally acknowledged the til
gent necessity Of joining and ayowcd your will
ingness to join, in building up great and pow
orful Party of Freedom in the North, to arrest
the fate otherwise 50 obviously in store for us
And, promptly and magnaminousy acting OF
these indications, the Free Democracy have Of
fered to give up their name and organization
to meet you on fair and equal grounds for thai
purpose. But your leaders, honest Wings, have
met in State Convention, and, with none Of the
temptations and inducements to adhere to party
that the Democrats have, and with no other ar
guments for their course than the paltry con-
siderations of State power and place, have re-
.jected our proposition, and decided still to b.
Wings, and keep up their old party organiz,
tion. Now wha;will you do-what should you
do, in the face of your own preaching, and, We
doubt not, your honest convictions still ad-
here to party, follow your interested leaders in
trying to keep it up, and lose probably the only
chance that may occlr for helping to build upa
party powerful enough to meet the wants of the
crisis !or will you shake off the trammes.
leave your old leaders to go on with their empty
old organization, if they please, and join us in
new and living Party Of Freedom! If you SO
come, you will be more than welcome. But if
you come with the design of still aiding your
old party, we trust yau will be defeated in your
object for if not, you will surely defeat our
only object in offering to meet you
And you, Democrats, whose Administration
has betrayed your principles, made the once
sacred namC of Democracy u reproach, by sub
shutting in its stead the principle of Slavery
propagandism, with the machinery Of old Fed
erai'sm to carry it out--whosc organs are all
tfammelled, and can no longer be considered the
expositors Of your honest sentimcnts--you who
are now without party home, what will you
DO Join the Wings That you cannot do.
