THE GREAT PARTY OF THE NORTH.

THE GREAT PARTY OF THE NORTH.
The present signs of the times indicate that
there will be but one great party OF the North
which will swallow up all other cliqucs and fac
tions, and that party will be of the Republican
school. The late attempt on the part OF the
Southern Know Nothings TO thrust down the
throats of Freemen their odous Slavery creed,
has aroused the Northern wing of the Order, and
they are marching out from their Hindoo Lodges
into the broad avenues of Freedom-where stall
wart forms and brawny arms, and brave hearts
are mingng in one common cause.-the cause of
Right and Justice, and Liberty. There pas Il
time when the North would cringe to the Slave
Oligarchy-there ,cds time when honest men,
haters of Slavery. were willing to concede much
to the South, in hopes that by doing, the Slave
ry agitation would cease-there ,ras time when
the South could whip Satan round the stump
and accomplish its ends by Northern votes; but
that day has passed-the North can no longer be
tempered with, for the edict has gone forth" So
far and no farther.'' The back bone of the North
will no longer bend to suit the caprccs of traitors
to freedom, nor will the people of the North be
sile:eed by the cry of Disunion.
" nave Sdlu tiiat tucIc WIS W DC Dut one great
party in the North and We draw our conclusions
from events which are daily transporting. In the
State of New York, the American party, so-caed,
whose creed is now public, uniting with the
Republicans, or what our opponents term, the alb
clitionists. In Pennsylvania and Ohio the same
fusion is going on, and in Connecticut, where the
Know Nothngs swept the State, the organs of the
party thus plainly express their sentiments
The duty of the North at this crisis seems
plain. Let the one great principle of political
action be the restoration of the Missouri Com
promise. Let all minor questions of policy be
submerged in this one great question. Let the
men of all parties who revere and stand bv the
rights of frt edom, unite in great party. Let
Republican party be recognized in every State
ut the North. Let our next President be elected
from principles of Republcanism. The work has
already commenced. The conflict goes bravely
on in Ohio, Pennsy vania and throughout the en-
tire West. Let not Connecticut be the last to en-
ter the contest--for as she was among the first
and foremost in the Revolutionary struggle, let
her not lag behind in the great approaching con-
test for freedom.
correspondent of tic New York Herald writes
thus from Cincinnati.
81 arprehcnd that Chase is Just the man for the
masses IN Ohio, for, TO make long story short
there is but one political idea of any magnitude
here, and that is opposition to the further extern
sion OF Say ,ry. 1t is uppcrmost, foremost, first
and last in all political discussons.''
SO let 1t be in Connecticut. We cannot recede
with honor-then in the maine Of Liberty, onward!
While of the most Eastern States thus
sounds the tocsin, hear what response the West
gives through the columns Of the Chicago Trib-
''Thc North is ripe and rcady.' We hear this
on all sides and from every quarter. But how

the base INTO submission, drive back the Slave
power, and rend it? The way is pointed out by

Ohio resolves, rs does Indiana:
''1haf a committee Of correspondence be 0p-
pointed 10 correspcnd uiM committees Of ether
states, and 10 agree upon time and place for
holding National COnrention Of the Republican
Party, for the nomination IF President and Vice
President.'
Illinois will answer this call with hearty zeal:
New York will give 6 lad response to it; so will
all the free States, they shall wheel into line,
and, standing within the Constitution, make IN
mon cause for Liberty AMI Union. We have now
an organization. 'sThe North is ripe and READY
in feelings" and the ray secured by which that
feeling shall be concentrated into action, and
made inrincible. Let the People rejoice Let the
glad tldlngs of Joy 90 FORTH and, rs they spread,
let all resolve, through the Constitution aud I'M
der it, to have one Party for Freedom in the North,
as there is but ono party for Slavery in the South.
Away, then, with suspicious and jiealouses
Let ali chickering's cease, and let us announce the
great American truth, that whatsoever will battle
for Freedom, wherever born, is of and with u.s.
Let us make compact the friends of Constitutions
al Liberty, and thus give life, consistency and
victory to the North by being right in position as
we'll as right in principie.''
Let this fusion once be consummatcd; let North
ern men be united on the subject of Slavery, and
all other issues will dwindle into insgniicance.
The two great parties will be-Slavery and Anti
Slavery. The party now forming ut the North, is
composed of those who will no longer submit to
the extension of Slavery or the further aggres-
sion on the part of the South. Will Minnesota
join the rank? Let the people answer.
