Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1855-12-15
A REPUBLICAN WEAKNESS.

In some of the papers which profess to advocate
the principles of the Republican party, we observe
n certain sensitiveness under the charge of aboli-
tionism. An abolitionist, as we understand it, is
one who is sincerely opposed, not only to the er-
tension of slavery. but to the very existence. and
whose principles prompt HIM to do what he can,
both by moral and political means, for its over
throw. Now let us look at the platform of the Re-
publicans of Minnesota, adopted last July. The
first two resolutions are as follows, and we think,
were unanimously adopted:
l. Resolved, That we re affirm our purpose to
array the moral and political power of Minnesota,
whether as a Territory or a State, on the side Of
freedom; and to aid in welding the whole consti.
tutional force of the federal government, whenever
we can, and wherever we an,against the existence
of Slavery.
2. Resolved, That wherever Slavery may con-
stitutionally be abolished by the General Govern.
ment, there its continuance is a national crime, for
which every citizen is responsible so far as he re-
fuses to exert his influence for its removal.
These resolutions leave open the question wheth-
err the Federal Government can reach Slavery in
the States, but they commit the Convention to the
very principle OF abolitionism, and every man who
them is at heart an abolitionist. whether
he accepts the name or not.
We see copied approvingly in several Republi'
can papers, an anecdote which condenses t~he''gist"
of the Republican movement into these words
" We don't care much for the niggers; but ire don't
rant 10 be made miggers ourselves"
Nowif Republicans are going into the struggle
simply out of regard to the violated rights of ,chite
people, or simply to save free soil from being cor
rupted-if they care nothing about the rightfulness
or wrongfulness of slavery-if trampled manhood
awakcns none of their sympathles-if they are
prepared to concede that slavery is right enough
in the States where it exists-it they join in the
general sneer at the colored man, and are indifer
ent to his fate-then, we say they are not abolition
ists.-Nor under these circumstances could they
retain their own selfrespect, or do efficient service
in their own cause. The party has a very narrow
basis, unless it opposes the extension of slavery on
the ground that it is wrong wherever it exists.
What is the use" of mincing and w~inking, and
bowling, aud s~craping, in the presence of a haugh'
ty Slave Pos yer? When are we to dare say ouI
souls are our own? Vow long shall we timidly
apologize for having asserted principles founded
in eternal justice? o for a style of manhood
which will not cover before the oppressOr, nor
shrink from the temporary odium of being called
by a name which is truthful and which will yet be
honorable!
