The alternative theory Of the JEFF. Davis or aIsra
Southern school is equally fraught with anarchy.
According to this theory, any STAKEHOLDER has the

overrules the question which Gen Ca. has never

whether the struggle be to bar Slavery out of
Territory or to turn it out in forming State, the
intermediate result is the same-striie contention.
universal feud, fret between the squatters; thea
between the Free and the Slave States. The gen.
eral fruit of the attempt to force Slavery into our
Territories, present and prospective, is intemi-
nabe collision and qualified civil war
The ground taken by the Republicans
Congress has TO constitutional power t. establish
Slavery auywhsre-that Territory, deriving al ito
power from Congress, cannot transcend the powers
of its creator--that the natural law Of equal hu-
man rights must prevail wherever there is no
power TO establish the oppOsite-insures general
harmony and precludes strife respecting Slavery.
There can be 40 collision where one party has no
wish to establish Slavery if il could, and the other
no power to DO il if it would. The establishment
of this ground will not merely give lasting peace to
our present Territories and to the States with re-
gard to them, but it will preserve US evermore
from rspscious wars with and foays upon our
weaker ueghbors Cuba, Mexico, Dominica, viii
give us no further trouble from the moment il is
definitely established that all United States Terri
tory is of right and by law Free Territory. That
principle will save us more blood and treasure than
have been squandered around Seyastopol
They tell you, Conservatives that we who sup
port the Republican platform and ticket war upon
Slavery in the Slave States but that is false. AS
individuals, we should all rejoice to see Slavery
given up every where; but as party and as clti-
zens of this Union disclaim any right to inter.
feIe with really established Slavery in any other
States than those which we respectively nh4bit
A thousand times have we disclaimed what they
charge upon us yet they cOOlly repeat tho

They call Us DisuniOnists but the falsehood
should blister the lips that utter it. II is true
that we believe the sun would rise and grass grow
even we're the Union dissolved, and that we will
not be dragoOned into submission to fagrant
wrong even by threat of dssolving the Union.
When they call US Disunionists, they can truth
fully mean only that if IRE don't give way, their allies
or masters at the South will break up the Union
to spite u.s. The only danger Of Disunion grows
out of the habit of finally backing out which the
North has fallen into, and which may lead the
Chiyalry to threaten what they do not half mean,
until they work themselves into position from
which they cannot recede without covering them
selves with ridicule Were there no dOughfaces at
the North, there would be far fewer threats Of
Disunion from the South
But they say our Platform is " sectional tina!
is, the Southern politicians dissent from it. Well:
so they do from that of the Softs, from the New.
York platform of the KnOw-NOthngs, and even
from that of the " straight Wings" The resolves
of the forty-thIee - live Wings at Constitution
in any Slave States The Ordinance Of 81 is mo-
accounted " sectional" though Thomas Jefferson
drafted and every Slave State by it's delegation as
scented to it, Everything is sectional in the
Southern view which does not esteem Slavery
beneficent and divine.
Some Of you. Conservatives! will doubtless vote
against us but this will not make wrong right nor
