as they are called, where interests are mainly
subserved by an even and peaceful condition Of
the financial and commercial Offices of the
country.
One of the chief hindrances to the immediate
and general triumph of the Republican princi-
pie has been the Native American sentiment,
which in the influential State of New York, and
throughout the entire South, fastened upon and
claimed class of men, who, left to their own
instincts, are not strongly Pro-Slavery, but, on
the contrary, rather opposed than favorable to
the extension of its moral, social, and political
influence.
In this state of things, stand arrayed upon
one side the Republican principle, and upon the
other the ultra commercial and financial inter
est, the power of Government, and the Native
American sentiment in New York and the South.
Out of New York, and in the Northern States,
the Native American or Know Nothing intiu-
ence and strength have been divided upon the
subject of Slavery neutrality-suspicious.
however, against Slavery. Repubhcanism, pre-
senting marked and distinctive issue, standing
upon its own merits, and uncommtted upon
and unentangled with other questions OF the day,
must it is obvious. stand or fall as its friends
are faithful to it. Its advocates while they can
not take sides upon the Native Sentiment, nor
upon any other distracting issue, must, it is
plain, so conduct themselves as to keep aloof
simply, without unnecessarily hostilizing itself
by side issues.
The Republican party, then, having right
upon their side, they have the prestige of vic
tory, achieved when the organization was in its
infancy, while it had no detail of system, and
almost no leadership. But it holds within its
ranks many of the most sagacious political
strategists, and most successful and shrewd
campaigners, known to the present history and
condition of parties.

pie, the free laborers and actual settlers, would
be excluded from the same.
We further believe that the above resolution
OF the General Convention is not at all directed
against the rights of the Southern States. But
theSouth should not have any prerogatives or
exclusive privileges and the STAKEHOLDER who
lives by the labor of other people should not
have more privileges than the actual settler or
the free workman who provides with his own
hands bread for his family and for himself.
We therefore acknowledge and second the
resolution OF the General Convention notwith-
standing our living in slave State. But in
regard to your proposed union Of the Southern
Associations, we declare:
/. That we do not withdraw from the Con.
federacy.
2. That We with contempt reject all and
every attempt to divide this General Confedera-
cy, and refuse to join any dissenting Association
}. Thatwe regard your letter to the Southern
Associations as a miserable trick f; because if
your withdrawal as that of single Association
might have been excused, this contemplated
seducing of others cannot be looked upon other
WISE than as an attempt to procure companions
OF your own cowardice.
4. That we regard you as having committed
treason against the principles of our Asso-
citation.
3. Your letter and our own shall be made
public In the Turn Zeituag aud In the Wheeling
Republican.

From the Salem tO) Republican, December
THE COMING ELECTION.

From present indications, we are forced 10
the opinion that the North will be divided on
the great question of Slavery, during the next
Presidential campaign. Its strength will then
be so much weakened, that the avowed Pro-Sla-
very Democracy of the country will show its
power to better advantage than it otherwise
could possibly do. While the Administration
are becoming daily more and more cemented
in union, the Opposition are continually widen
ing the breach between them.
In New York and Massachusetts, the Repub-
hcen aud Know Nothing parties are two sepa-
rate aud distinct organizations. They are open
~ ana honestly opposed to each other. SO it
must undoubtedly be in Ohio as soon as the
American party compromise away every prin-
ciPle of Freedom they possess, in order to paci-
iy the South. The South will not accept Ma
tlonal platform that is not Enthusiastically Pro
Slavery. A great portion of the North, outside
OF the Administration party, will receive none
that is not as clearly Anti-Slavery.
DIR. Bailey, Of the National Era, has already
taken his position in reference TO the next cam
paign, in the following bold language:
For one, we shall support clean Republi-
can ticket, and no other. We will support no
ticket representing tlcO parties or mired issues
no Democratic, Wing, Know Nothing nomina-
ton, in whole or in part, but an unmistakable
Republican nomination. An honest, open I'M
ion of the People, against the Slave Power, dis
regarding all other issues, is the only policy we
can sustain in the Presidential contest We will
not support, but we will resist, cost what it may,
any attempt to frame Presidential ticket on
the principle of cooperation, by which Repub-
lcsns shall agree TO support Know Nothing,
on condition that the Know Nothings will agree
to support a Republican, each Party remaining
distinct, andsecuring from the other countenance
and support. Let every party fight under its
own banner, and God defend the right"

TIE QUESTION:.
SLIPPERY Rock, Pa,

SLIPPERY Rock, Pa, Dec. 8, 1855.
Slavery is tie question, and all others kept
before the public are merely for the purpose of
exciting the attention of those who are at heart
true Republicans. Why, politicians at the
South do not attempt to conceal it, and why
should it be concealedat the North? Mr.. Ber-
rien, OF Georgia, fully sets it forth in his late
letter. The South Carolina papers freely advo
cate the same doctrine; and the man who can
scan the late proceedings of the Georgia Legis
lature, and not see that Slavery, and that alone
is the question at issue, may be readily set down
as fit companion for the man designated in the
Scriptures as having eyes and seeing not.
This single question, then, sectional as it is
being the whole embodiment of political life in
the party South, how can its advocacy in the
North render it national? The questions at
issue are those which give character, locality.
and name, to the parties advocating them; and
the Know Nothings of the North may cry out
against foreign emigration until thew are blind.
until the question of Slavery is disposed of the
South will give them a deaf ear. For confirma-
ton of this, | have only to refer to the late
Know Nothing State Convention of Virginia.
The so-called Democratic party rides the
same hobby. They, too, profess to keep up a
national organization, for the purpose of sus-
tanning what? A national interest? What il
it? Slavery alone-sectional, and only section
al; local State institution, circumscribed by
State laws alone, and with which, in a national
point, we have nothing to do.
Here, then, you have it These two parties.
or the leaders Of them, are seeking. by every
means in their power, to impose their organiza-
tons upon the country, under the deceptive
pretext OF nationality, while they are devoted,
body and soul, to sustain a local, a sectional
interest. That interest is Slavery, and only
Slavery. Let the people understand this sub
Ject and, my word for it, the nationality of these
two humbug parties will soon be at an end.
The Republican organization stands on a
very different basis, and is the only truly ma
| tional party that does exist. Freedom is ma
tional, and on that immovable basis the Repub-
hcan party raises their standard, and on that
principle we claim our nationality. If Free
domi is not national, then we are not entitled to
that appellation; and if it is so, then our oppo-
nents can lay no claim to nationality. Here
we draw the line of demarcation, and we DEFY
the powers Of the whole combination, by what
ever name they call themselves, to overturn the
pedestal upon which we stand.
From recent occurrences, see now, more
than ever, the Importance of at once organizing
the Republican party in every State in the ma
ton, and casting our principles wide-cast over
the country. They only want to be known, to
be approved by every honest man, North or
South. We seek no sectionalsm, nor do we
seek to establish any sectional doctrines We
disclaim any such object, and challenge our ad-
versaries to the proof. G.
