Black Republican Doctrine
Boldly AyOyyed,
rom the Philadelnhia News.

a.
The Black Republicans have hailed with in
tense satisfaction, the open adhesion of Fred
Douglass, the negro Editor, TO the cause Of Mr.
Fremont, and have welcomed his paper which
struggles manfnly TO secure its success, with
JOY into the party ranks. Mr.. Douglass had no
sooner given in his welcome adhesion to Re-
publicanism, than he was put upon the stump
by the Central Committee, and sent forth to
make new converts throughout the State. He
was cautioned, however, 10 moderate his denun-
Citations of the South, and TO conceal as much
as possible, the extent of his confidence in the
Republican party as party Of aboliionism and
disnnion.
This negro supporter of John C. Fremont on
Thursday last attended the Jerry Rescue Crle-
bration at Syracuse. There he appeared in bis
true colors; and while urging upon the assem-
blagp, the claims of Col. Fremont, and advQca-
ting the principles of the Republican party, be
offered the following resolutions
Resolved, That while we most ardenty de-
sire peaceful emancipation, and will continue
TO labor earnestly and faithfully to bring il a.
bout, will not conceal from the guilty slave
holder, nor from bis Trembling victims our de-
liberate and solemn convictions, that s'resisance
to tyrants is obedience to God'-that an en-
shaved people have the undonbted right to gain
their freedom, ''peacea5ly if they can, forcibIy
il they must''-that the life Of the oPprrssoT
should not stand in the way of the slaves free
dom; that in deprivng the slave of all rights,
the Shareholder has forfeited all rights; that in
killing Shareholder TO secure freedom, the
slave is guiIty>ofno crime, but should be rrgar-
drd as the rightful executor OF Divine Justice
and friend 10 the full liberties Of Mankind
Resolved, That while We deeply oppose the
necessity ofshedding human blood. and the de-
stroying of human life, WE SHOULD RE-
JOICE IN A SUCCESSFUL SLAVE INSUR-
RECTION. WHICH WOULD TEACH
THE WRONG AND
DANGER INVOLVED IN THE ACT OF
SLAVEHOLDING, and the numerous outrages
which slavery necessarily iaAicts upon its VIC
tins.
Resolved That since The tFatticers in The bod
les and souls OF men have resolved upon the
endless enSlavemPnt oftheir victims, aud, with
diabocaI meaHnesS aud wick+dness, have de-
Privrd them Of all power TO procure arms, with
which 10 win their freedom in an open and bon
cradle manner, the slaves iuStliiahr in the
use ofang or erery secret process tor deSfyo5-
ing the tife Of the oppresS0r' by which he can
reasonably hope to secure his liberty.
Resolved, That the SlaUe-holaer should be
node TO dreom Of DE.gTH in his &Iepp, and 10
apprehend death in his DISH md TEAPOT,
FIRE SHOULD MEET HIM IN HIS BED,
AND POISON SHOULD MEET HIM AT
HIS TABLE and the silent .4agel Of Deat&
should every where be invoked to alright him
in the midst of his slave-holdihg rrvelty.
What American-what Christian man
can read the above deliberate sentiments of
one of the leading supporters Of John c. FREE
mont. expressed IN and upheld by Fremont
assembIage, without feeling the deepest indig-
nation-a shudder of horror. And yet v hat is
this bat the Higher Law doctrine Of the Fre-
mont papers practically carried out; and what
is it but Black Republican principles boldly a
voweda
And this is the man for whom FIR. JCR-
DAN is using all his energies 10 have made
President OF the United States. Whilst Jor-
dan was making the most solemn professions of
friendship for Fillmore, he now boldly avoNs
himself the advocate of Fremont, as proved by
his acts in the late fusion Convention at Phila-
drIphia Such political inhmy has never be-
fore been witnessed in this country.
