this party,w be fused all the honest the
patriotic, and sincere of the two old par
ties, in opposition to the reckless denia-
gogiral, foreign, interfering, Jesuitlcal
mass, and their leaders born and bred in
the hot.bods Of European ignorance,
vice and superstition, who will assume
the banner and reverod namo Of De.
mocracy to ride over and trample into
tho dust the principles of our Patriotic
Sircs, in order that they may fatten on
the life blood of Americas glory and
greatness. Though the banner of this
great Republican Party may wave, in
part, over Slave States-though the
party may be composed in part of citi-
zcns of the Sooth, it will be the Nation
al Party, the party of truc progress and
of real liberty.
You never can-Gnd God grant that
you never may-succeed in establishing
and maintaining a Northern party, or a
Southern party. Marx my acordS. All
the combinations of all the demagogucs
trickstcrs of earth, will ucver plant the
foot Of a Slave upon Territory or soil
now free. Neither will all combinations
of all the fanatics and crack Drained NOR
BID enthusiasts Of tho world, prevent
the annexation of Cuba to our Union,
arhcre ii rightly belongs By nature, and
to which Providence will give it, for the
amclioration of the Slave, and the evan
gelization of its population. This event,
too, is near at hand, and may you and |
live to rejoice in the prosperity and glo-
ry it will add to our beloved country,
a"d to work and conquer as in days past,
shoulder to shoulder, under the folds of
the flag of the Same party - and
may that party be the RepuJtican Party
Of america. G. c. l..
We are disposed to treat this mat
ter fairly, but feel constrained to speak
very plainly. We cannot excuse the
South on tho plea tina. they have never
aShed for the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise and that it was projected
by a Northern demngoguc. Were this
true, it affords no adequate apology. The
South were bound in honor and good
faith to leave that Compromise untouch-
cd. They have not done it. There is,
then, the fact Of a gross breach Of faith
and no matter from what source the
temptation came. But it is an error to
say that this outrage had its origin with
Northern demagogucs. Douglas stood
sponsor for the bill, but in moving the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise lie
only acted as the tool Of two Southern
Whigs-Mr. Dixon of Kentucky and
Mr.. Toombs Of Georgia. This has been
conclusivoly proved, and forever removes
the prctoxt that this was a concession
proposed by tlc North or even that it
was first offered by a Northern dema-
gogue, against the nearly unanimous
wishes of the Northern people. The
South dill demand this net, and the
Northern doughfaces UNANIMOUSLY COM
piled with that demand. This ia plain
and true statement of the whole matter.
AS Northern Republican party
we are perfectly willing to drop the sec.
tional prefix if anybody at tho South is
ready to join us. We would certainly
