COMMITTED TO THE LAST ABOLITION SCHEME


THE ENTIRE WING PARTY OF THE NORTH FULLY
COMMITTED TO THE LAST ABOLITION SCHEME.
The broad and conspicuous difference between the dem
ocratc party and the opposition to that party however
called is that while the latter is constantly and delibc
raely taking different and contradictory grounds the
same issue and less constantly admitting into its ranks
all opinions allowing each it WERE fight upon
his hook, the democratic party tries every question
that arises by the impartial test principle and aclnow
edges companionship with who does not in spirit
of the nobest confidence adopt the platform of faith and of
action upon which the democracy known to stand.
Such is the rule in the of each of the two parties.
There occasional exceptions but it is in
the case in the other The democracy is a
compact mass, bound together upon well-defned doc
trines refusing all companionshp with any and every
organization that does not square up to these
doctrines. The opposition is army of factions and
sections impoen when divided and when united lasting
only few months in power, and then broken into frag
mens await chance for such fusion may
bring about evanescen success. The "whgsD since 1886
have managed control the of these sections with the
advantage of three four great like those Of Henry
Clay and Daniel Webster; but the utter selshness and
necenay character Of this organization became clear
at lastbuilt up was upon such high regulations
Clay and Webster yet perverted to the elevation of
military cheftains to the presdencytha it fell with
crash and confusion COMPOUNDED has reigned

they left the stage of action they seemed to have parted
with al respect for those they had served long, only

While the antsIavery element in the free States
couraged by able and reckless asprants it is natural
pec that weaksprted and specializing politicians on both
sides should feel disposed give way element at
clanorous and so fanaical. As we have said
before however, the democrats who give way before
this abolition power in the North exceptions gen.
rule while the wings who do the constitute the
rule itself In illustration of the former assertion is only
necessary that should that the democratic organ
cation in every free State has without exception taken
ground in favor of national principles and in nearly every
in favor of the last assertion of these principles in the
Nebraska bill On the other hand the whg party of the
North has unanimously discarded the platform of its
national of 1852 adopted after much tribu
ation and excitement and all wings of the North for
none hare o accept their issues future
contests the following three startling propositions:
"The repeal of the fugitive-slave law
"Thc repeal of the repeating clause of the Nebraska
bll.'
The non-anission Of any more ''ayc State, into The
Union.n
The repeal of the repeating section of the Nebraska bill
is M impossibity.
The success Of the remaining propositions would
as certainly dissolve Union of the States the nulli-
cation Of the entire constitution itself! indeed it would
amount to that and nothing less.
