Slave Power, though numerically small mi
nority, has hitherto accomplished all its pur-
poses by unity and concert Of action. Shall
such an example be lost to us in this crisis of
affairs We trust not. There must be concert
and of course organization. What organization
This is impossible, for that party is responsible
for the Nebraska outrage; it stands on a pro-
slavery platform T; and although a large por-
ton of its members are now ready to stand
upon the right ground, the organization is in
the hands of the slave power. Shall it be
that of the Wing party, them This is eqally
impossible, for that party is responsible for the
Fugitive Slave Law, and the compromises by
which Utah and New Mexico were given up
to slavery. AS a national party, too, it stands
upon the most ultra pro-slavery platform ever
adopted by any party in this country. North
ern Wings may now make whatever other pro-
fessions they please, still no true man of any
other party would unite with them under that
name and that organization. They cannot
therefore accomplish the object in view.
Shall it, then, be the organization of the
Free Democracy: This question presents
greater difficulties in its solution. Were the
present political organizations 10 remain, and
no new one to be formed with special refer
ence to the exingencies of the case, that or
ganization would eventually accomplish the
work; because, being based on true principles,
it would make q heavy draft from both the
other parties, this fall, and would continue to
do it, at every new aggression or attempt at
aggression of the slave power, till it would be
strong enough to effect the object. But it
would be SCORER done by an entirely new po-
litical organization, which should have no old
prejudices to encounter, and no old commit
tails to overcome. And, that it shall be SO
| done, is, as we understand it, already settled.
| In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, throughout all the great Free West, the
people have already taken the initiatory nea-
| sures, and men of all parties are comisg to-
| gether with an earnestness and enthusiasm
| never before known, mott to build up the Wing
| party, not to build up the Democratic party,
not to build up the Free Soil party, but to
institute Ne,o Brotherhood, and to inaugur-
ate the GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY o.
the nation, and to place it on the immutabie
basis Of the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the country, in its primitive
beauty and purity. The organization of that
party will soon extend through the country
Then, every other organization will,of course
be an antagonist organization, and can sustain
itself only by holding antagonistic principles
If, in any State, the Democratic or Whig
party should profess to hold the same princi-
/ pies, it would become a locol faction, and BE-
treated as such by all parties, because, holding
principles in common with any national or.
ganization, there could be no cause for a sep
arate organization, and its only effect woulc
be toweaken and defeat the cause it pretended
to uphold. ESQ
i The path of duty, then, it appears to us, il
so plain before US, that the wayfaring man
though fool, need not err therein.
