vote for the repeafof the line in the Nebraska
act, and | will not vote to repeal the repeating
clause in that act, or 10 disturb the subject

men is required to save Us from ourselves. At
this crisis, when | think there is far more real
danger than has ever existed before, (as the Sc
quel will soon show,) | rejoice that an Ameri-
can party is to be found in the country, around
which ] and other men who think as do can
rally. The Wing and Democratic parties hav-
ing in different sections of the Union, made the
slavery question 4 part of their respective creeds,
are split into irreconciiable divisions each about
equally ultra in their views and equally unchar-
liable in their abuse of each other. In one
third of this State, a (so-called) Democratic
ticket is run, upon which one half the candi-
dates are old and active Wings. In another
part of the State an effort has been made to get
Wings to serve on a Democratic ticket, but
hear, without success. In other States the
division among the Wings is such that it is
quite impossible that another Wing National
Convention can ever assemble again, and if an
other Democratic Convention should again
make that effort, as it probably will, there can
be no heartfelt concord in such 4 body. A
party strong enough to sustain the Government
in the trials to which it will, inevitably, soon be
subjected. ought to be a desideratum with every
right minded American statesman. ltlsl

public office, any man who should evince a de-
termination to deny to others the right to wor-
ship God according to the dictates or their own
conscience; and referring to foreigners who
have never been naiuralized, ] have repeatedly
said that before their naturalization, they should |

cOuntry when declaring their intestioo,
nor at any time until they are naturalized in
obedience to the act of Congress. To receive
their votes on a mere declaration o! intention,
is in no degree less objectionable than it would
be to receive them in Ireland or Germany, for
they are still bound by their allegiance to the
SoyeEeigns of their native countries. / oppo-
