The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1855-11-12
The Times ON RepubftcaniSm, The
slavery Issues, etc.

Several days ago made few remark
concerning the organisation Of the Republi-
can party in this State. The Evening Times
has made the contents of it the subject Of
repeated reference, and in its issue Of Thurs
day it devoted considerable space to it,
From that article we CLEAN the following
principal points, TO which we will paw atten-
ton, viz:
That the active leaders in the Republican
ranks, AID all who sympathize with them,
have thrown off all allegiance to the Com
" stitution and it's compromises and sgbold-
sly declare their determination 10 trample
upon the constitutional rights of one por-
"tion Of the confederacy, even at the sacri-
=" fee of the Union itself .
That this, being the real ground Of their
operations, $ has been generally kept back bv
8 their organs" but s.yet there are times
"when, through mistake or ignorance Of the
tactics OF organization, these things will
"leak OUT" as in the case of oar article all
luded to
pose to FORM sectional party, engage in u
sectional warfare, and direct our energies
against the rights and guarantees of the
South;
That Washington, and jefferson, and Mad
ison. and jackson, and CLAY, and Webster
would have dcplored the advocacy of such
issues rs are defended by the Republican par
ty, etc:
That the Democratic party is the only ma
tonal organization, and has single handed K
ar up the integrity of the Union, It's com
promises and It's laws, and is called upon K
