The true Policy.

A distinguished Anti-Nebarska man in
Pennsylvania shows in the following para
graph what is the only true and safe policy
for the friends Of freedom. We invite the
people of Wisconsin to read and act upon
it in all their fall elections. Maine and Yer
mont have set us noble examples, which
ought to be followed. Strike down the
allies Of the ultra slave-power, wherever
they raise their heads-this is the work to
be done now:
The power and designs of Slavery must
be checked, and the original policy of the
Government on this subject restored To
this end we must lay aside-postpone for
a time-the strifes of party over minor
points of controverted policy, and ante in
this great work Of preserving our free in
stitutions from impending Instruction.
The first blow must be aimed for the over
throw of the present administration-the
mere slave and puppet of the slave power.
Though the competing influence of its pat
ronage upon the peoples Representa-
tiyes, Freedom has been betrayed. It
must be overwhelmed at every point with
ignominous defeat. We cannot shorten
its Constitutional term Of office, but ue
mast strike doaOn ats allies in every State,
District and County. 1t must have no
props in the States upon which to lean for
the support Of its Ubiquitous policy. No
man should be elected tor espon-
siblc office, for Governor, members of
Congress, orRepresentativos, whose relations
and alliance with the National administra-
ton are open to suspicion.
