holders know this their talk about the assaults
of Abolitionism on their domestic Institutions is
ali for effect The issue they force upon the
free States is one of political power. They used
the Union and the Federal Government TO ad
vance the interests and power Of Slavery; the
free States revolt at this prostitution of the Union
formed to extend the blessings of Liberty, this
perversion of Government in which they have
an equal right and interest. Their duty is, to
redeem the Government from the control of the
Shareholders, and the Union from such p-ostitu-
ton Should this repeal movement succeed, the
free States are again humbled the slaveho ders
ARE again triumphant; the political power Of the
former is weakened, that of the latter increased /;
and Principle is established, which will give
impunity and encouragement to slaveholding
schemes of sggraudizement.
Here and now, then, the Non Shareholders
should take their stand on this distinct issue,
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, confront
the Shareholders and their adherents the Party
of Slavery-and determine, as they have the
power, TO place in the Presidential Chair, in
1856, man fully representing the doctrine, OF a
total divorce of the Federal Government from
Slarery
This they can do and ought to do; and they
must do it, sooner or later. if they would relieve
themselves from the yoke of an overbearing
Aristocracy, humble its pretensions, make Liber-
ty supreme in the National Councils, and save
the Union from destIuction.-Nat. Era.

PARTIES AND INTERESTS,
uHE PAST AND THE FUTURE.

When ii became evident that the great body of
slaveho!thEg members of the Senae and House
OF Representatives, intended to support the bill
for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, it was
hoped by anti-slavery men that there might be no
excep tlons Aware that cooperation between
the Northern and Southern sections of the old
parties had always been secured BY the subser-
vlence OF the former. that their union, a. nation
al organization so called, had been maintained by
an express or taclt recognition of the ascendency
Of Slavery, and that for these reasons they pre-
scented the most formidable obstacle to an orgqni-
cation in an efficient form, of the sentiment of
the North in favor of free labor and free insttu
tons, thy were not sorry when they saw the
bond of union in the Wing and Democratic par
ties seriously threatened by this repeal move
ment While, therefore, they honor the two
Southern Senators WHIP ncbly opposed this move.
ment, and the eight Southern members of the
House who have manifested TIER hostility TO it,
on the ground, as we understand it, that it is
against honor and good faith, they would have
been quito as well satisfied, looking alone to poti
cal consequences, had the Southern delegation in
both Houses presented an unbroken front in sup
port OF the Nebraska Bill
The North has been deluded too long with the

regard Parties founded geographical distinc
tons as dangerous to the Union. Its Wings and
Democrats leave denounced sectionalism sectional
agitation, sectional question, and labored to build
up and maintain National Parties on the basis Of
National Interests "a policy certainly desirable
and patriotic, but which thus far has never been
accomplished. They have succeeded in con-
structing Parties, national in form, but sectional
in fact-enToling in their ranks Northern and
Southern men, but with the leadership always in
the hands Of the atter-ostensibl aiming 10 pro.
mote the general welfare, but really tributary TO
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the Class Interest of
Slavery. ~
Before the attempt to organize in political
form the Anti-Slavery sentiment of the country,
this interest pursued its object steadily but quiet
ly. Its power was felt, not so much in its exer-
else as in its results 1t was seen that it furnish
ed our Presidents, obtained the ascend cncy on the
Supreme Bench, mcnopolized the most important
foreign appointments, controlled the organization
of the House of Representatives and the Senate,
bore sway in our national political Conventions,
dictated the creed of parties and shaped the pol.
icy of the Government, so as generally to en-
hance its power; but why this was so, in what
way these results were accomplished, few took
the trouble TO enquire, and fewer understood.

forty majority against them. There is no choice
for Governor by the people. there being three
candidates among the opposition. to the Demo

PoLIrIcAL DOUBLE SHuFrLE.-Many were ta-
ken by surprise by the course of Cutting, of N
Y. in his stand for reference Of the Nebraska
Bill to the Committee of the Whole, which
breckenridge pronounced the death of the meas
urc, and they are still at loss to ccount for it,
Cutting is one of the hardest of the Hards, and
still means probably to have the Bill passed, and
his course Wis merely one of those political double
shufiles, so common in the checker-board politics
Of New York. He wanted to show the Admin
stration that they could not get along without
the help of the IIards, whom they had set aside.
And having now done this, he will probably be
open to treaty with the Administration for
the restoration Of his faction to favor, by turn
ing in ard doing what he Can to insure the pas
sage Of the Bill. A fair specimen of New
York politics this.

A BENEVOLENT 0nJEcr.-It is proposed to
raise fund of, say $1,000, for the purpose
of libarating the enslaved Congress members of
the free States, who are enthrallcd by the South
and the administration SO that they cannot at
this time represent their constituents The
liberation Of the black Slaves is indeed most
worthy objects; but is not the freedom of the
white ones in Congress paramount duty!

ical action under the cid flags of Liberty and
Free Soil, are, as we have reason to know, under
the new and alarming aspect of the crisis, deep
ly impressed with the necessity Of the Free De-
mocracy taking higher ground and a holder stand
against Slavery than they have ever yet deemed
(expedient
Now, in view Of all this, and of the point
at which we have now 80 obviously ar
rived, the point at which there is to be a death
struggle between freedom and Slavery, and in
which one or the other must perish-in view OF
all these, what should be the course of the Free
Democracy! Should they not, at least, remain
where they are, and say to the old parties, our
standard is none too high for the times, and
the full adoption Of the platform over which it
now floats, must be the Sine qua ron to any
fusion with either Of you!
TIE NEBRASKA BILL.-Nothing yet appears
to Indicate am immediate lttonpt to pass the
Bill. 1t is before the Committee of the Whole,
and almost every day speech is made, for OF
against it, by its friends or opponents, among
the last Of whom Gcrritt Smith is said to have
made an earnest one. "These Speeches" says
the correspondent of the Ercning Post, now
sound like funeral orations over the remains Of
the Democratic party. The recent elections Of
New Hampshire and Connecticut have not only
knocked the Nebraska business on the head, but
have dealt such blow to the Democratic party
of the Union as to make it reel" We hope
this will prove true about the Nebraska Bill
but it is quite too soon to triumph. The Ad-
ministration, in common with all the Nebraska
conspirators, will more fear the contempt at
tending the failure of the bill, than to commit
the crime of rassing t.and press it accordingly
