the Nebraska the most important object to DC &C
eouplished but because il furnishes the best chance or
uniting and consolidating the North against the South
, il recommends this basis Of effort and Of union On
that basis saws the Tribune thousands ofour most con-
tye prudent and cautious citizens will disregard all
.nnels and act heartily with u.s. The plan Of ope
r.tons Is fully set forth in the following paragraph:

We have italicized the concluding sentence because it
shadows forth the ultimate object of the coalition which the
Tribune recommends OF ITSELF the repeal of the Nebraska
act of practical consequence but it promises to be
the best platform on which seduce thousands Of
sentative prudent and cautious citizens into the abo
ted When these conservative, prudent, and
tous citizens become identified with the abotonsts
in the coming struggle the Tribune with confidence
and not without reason upon their permanent incopora
ton into the organization of abotionism They may then
be relied for all future time and the North viii
have to fight another battle a retreat for lifetime
Then the fngyeaye law be repealed slavery in the
District Of Columbia may be repealed further slave repre-
sentaon in Congress may be denied any State with
Slave constitution may be rejected and finally, the federal
Union may be dissolved These the real purposes Of
the leaders in proposing the repeal Of the Nebraska
basis Of union The great prominent fact which has in
iueed the Tribune to recommend with so much
ness this basis of union is the refusal of considerable
portion Of the northern democrats to sanction by their
TOte the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise The thou
sands Of conservative prudent and cautious citizens
secOnstely compmented by the Tribune the north
Of the democratic members Of Congress who voted against
tie Nebraska bin attered with the assurance that they
are be returned Congress by whig and abolition
in consideration Of the single promise that hey gill keep
doing So In the estimation of the Tribune no basis Of
union promise which does the
operation of these prudent and cautious democrats On
Of the real objects which the aboltonists desire to
accomplish they hope have the assistance Of
any portion of the drnocat but If those opposed the
Nebraska bill be induced for contest break of
from their party allegiance and thereby become familiar
zed with abolition associations and imbued with abolition
sentiments they win be prepared for advancing the
real objects to be accomplished We can only win" says
the Tribune, by taking ground on which majority can
to-day be brought to stand and only going orqrd chen
rs can feel thai cur footing sure Without the co-opera-
dous democrats the aboliuonsts cannot feel that their
footing sTe' To this cooperation in the next
contest is the first great step to he accomplished
Il must be conceded that the Tribune exhibits conyum-
late skill in It's tactics lis scheme is exceedingly paus-
ne and If IL can be reduced practice promises abund-
ant success Whether the Observation-Disclosures can agree 10
postpone the real objects long proposed by the Tri
oan' not yet certain nor is it certain that there are
not other breakers ahead which may interfere with Gree
g' nicsiyconcoctsd arrangements The question viii
9oude itself upon Of the opposition: In whose sery-
ICE the Tribune in proposing this plan of union7 Whose
presidential ASPIRATIONS to be grathed By its success
but the chief obstacle and that on which we believe
TIC whole scheme viii be COMPOUNDED and defeated will /,
0and in the solid strength and compact power Of the de

now distinctly orcwarned by the chief organ Of the op
Position and whenever the democratic party Ia made
