In another column we published an article from the

more fully. Similar ground was taken by the
American party in Massachusetts, at meeting Of
their State Counei, few weeks since.
IN n speech delivered at tho Metropolitan Thea
tn in New York, On Tuesday evening Of last week,
Hon. Heary Wilson, Uhi.el States senator from
+ Massachusetts, said.-

! lssssur f'an 70 suppose that the Amor
lean party Of the North can ignore that issue as it
presents itself at this time. II both Of the polit-
cal parties were nearly demolished by the passage
Of tile Compromise Of 1890, and the Wing party IN
1852 completely pnralysol BY attempting an aequi-
csence in those measures, Is it more than rrasoua-
Bic to suppose tina; any attempt, by any political
party 10 fall back upon that basis q settlement.
afler such oatnges rs the Nebraska pcrfiy, and
the still m3rc recent demonstrations Of the aggres
siNe nature q slavery IN the invasion Of Kansas By
armed hordes Of Mlssoudans, will be met by the de-
served anuihilation Of those making III
The anti-slAyery sentiment Of the people Of the
North, ani especially in New England, has gi ven
greater Vitality aud more rapid growth to the
American party than any other course, than all
other courses combined That sentiment forms the
subsiratum Of our political creed j. will hereafter,
so long as any attempts ART made to extend the
area Of slavery, and while any possibility Of
is extension exists, form tie ground-wor Of poll
tics, and the basis % every successful purity. In
the results Of the elections In the Frce States since
passage Of the Kansas Nebraska b.ll, may be read
the fate q every party and every politician tina,
strives to ignore this paramount issue, that heal
iales 10 side iyr freedom and against slavery extern
sion.
\ The day Of "no agitation has, rs we fondly
tryst, passed away. The whole North are united
and determined to employ every legal and sonstita-
tona means in their power to resist the further Gu
eroacbmeu,s Of slavery. 10 doing this they dis
claim all feelings Of "disunion.' They do not be-
liese that the that they have laid down for
themselves leads in any such direction. The south
have called as "disunionists." while they have
even attempted notification but their charge has
had no foundation, and their own untoward schemes
have prove feeble AMI abortive We at the Northloye
revere and ehcril the union Of these States, and
we believe that the blessings this union coniers,
can be best pcrpetuated by pcrpctuatng the ''arca
Of freedom rather than by extending the plague
spot Of slavery
In advocating ard maintaining such sentiments
the North wish 10 be let alone We believe they
viii not attempt any party union, or the construc-
ton Of any party platform which requires III,
sacrifice, even the blinking, Of these cherished
opinions. The south win, in time to come, as they
have always have in the past, make the question o.
slavery paramount TO all others. While thus acting
they protest against, being governed by sectional
considerations The North can accept this disclau-
or and at the same time marshal their own force,
for freedom. Tho charge Of lack Of nationality
viii hereafter come with but little grace from thu
cohorts Of slavery.
