The REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT The Trenton Fee
Press, in an Article upon this movement. ssys:
"From all parts Of the State we hear the most en-
coursein reports of the progress of Republican sen
tment There is growing belief that parties, as a.
present organized in this State cannot present united
front in resisting the encroachments of Slavery. We
have been assured that there already pledged to
the movement several hundreds of the most prominent
men Of the State and that they will not coosent to act
with any organization which does not meet the ques-
ton of resistance to the extension OF Slavery, IN
strae hiorward and manly manner IL has been thought
best TO await the action of the American state Couno
in s. piember, before proceeding 10 regular Repuon,
can org anZation, In the hope that the state COUNCIL
will then reconsider their previous action, and come
up 10 the expectations of the people We confess that
we do not share these hopes. The State Council OF
September will be composed Of the same persons as
composed the State Council of August and they are
too much under the control OF Doughfaces, Unon-
savers and StocktOnes ever TO take decided poton
in favor of the restoration Of the Missouri COMPROMISE
line We can see no hope save in the organization OF
the RepubEcan party Nineioen-twentieths OF the old
Wigs will gladly fight under their banner, and
much larger section of the Democrats and OF the
Know Notbipgs than is generally imagined, WIN be
found in the same grand army of Freedom
We repeat that the only hope for the cause oil Tree
principles and for the preservation OF Kansas and Ne
brsska from the foul embrace of Slavery is IN the he
publican party. Let us then look at things as they
are, and prepare to DO duty men. Success may
not reward us in this first campaign, but IN New.
jersey it can scarcely be postponed longer than 1856
The Nendrk DAILY Mercury adds That
at il now very evident that the tone OF public
opinion in New-Jersey is sound 10 the core upon the
questions gro wing out of the reagtaio ofthe Slavery
question by Atchison and Douglas. All that is needed
is concentration of efer 10 secure an organization
sure TO triumph in the contest Of 1856"
