THE "REPUBLCAN' -ABoLTTI0NIsM
INTENSIFIED.
Two political meetings were held during the past week
which are exciting good deal of interest in the North.
The in Worcester Massachusetts, and the other in
the city OF New York The object Of both TO naugu-
rate with than usual ceremony and formaty the new
repubican party and to Indicate the great leading prn-
cples and purposes Of this last effort of the ansayery
harmonic and cooperate in the coming presiden-
tial election Until now, the great question held up be-
fore the northern mind the restoration Of the Missouri
Compromise but infer from the proceedings at both of
the late fusion, republican, abolition meetings that
this issue is abandoned too for the pnr-
poses of the northern party sought to be established as
the republican party Referring to the meeting in New
York, the Journal of Commerce says
Instead insisting the restoration Of the Missouri
they merely reenaced the old platform which
the abolition party took at its formation by Garrison Co.,
of preventing the further spread Of slavery and of
abohing wherever there power to do The idea
restoring the Missouri Compromise lately the talk OF abo
on presses in all parts Of the North, may now be said to
have been authoritatvey abandoned by its own friends
Doubtless the meeting here is the toreshadow OF the State
proclams advance, the issue which that asemblage will
put before country Are then, to hear of
the restoration of the Missouri Compromised 1t
And why That Compromise allows slavery south OF 36 30,
and calls express terms for the surrender of fugitive
slaves The camor in its behalf has been, to great
extent false and fraudulent pretence the part OF those
who have sought to guide public opinion through the abo
ton presses, pulps, and forums.

The meeting at Worcester Massachusetts,, composed
Of know-nothings and aboliticnss Its proceedings
characterized by much excitement growing out of con-
test between the parties to the nomination of
didae for governor The know-nohings supported Gov
Gardner and the aboionsts Mr.. Rockwell. On the sa-
very question there was division, but the fight
whether the know-nothings the abotonsts should
rule The abolitionss triumphed might have been
pected and Mr.. Rockwell nominated. The know

depha convention and the result has confirmed his dec
aration. AS in the meeting in New York. SO in that at

Compromise the issue to have been abandoned
and the broader and dangerous platform of abolition
