From tn. Bo%ten Atias.l
4 he lspsslieaa Party Sectional fArv'
With an uuscrupuloosness characteristic
Of despotism, the charge 10 made that the
Repuifcan party is sectional in its charac.
ter. Notwith standing the clear evidence
TO the contrary, the cry goes up from the
slsveocracy that the Republican party IL
for dividing the Union; that il 10 q party
the North, that il has not now, and cannot
at any tine have adherenfs in the South
To show the folly and imbeciiiiy OF this
charge, re give the ssatemen, OF the South
Caroline Times, in answer to an assertion
made by the New York Day Book, that the
New York Herald. BY espousing the cause
of the Repoblicans, would lose its Southern
Subscribers. The Times says
sThe opinion Of the Day Book viii re-
ceive very little eountenance In the South,
and especially in South Carolina. The
readsrs OF the New York Herald will con.
tisue 10 patrcnise it. without any regard to
the emitting or abolition sentiments which

situations and people OF the South. The
truth 10. we have more abolitionists st heart

aware Of. Let them feel that they will be
safe, and many that are now regarded good
and true friends Of the South aud her inst.

readers and devoted patrons OF the Herald,

the at prssent seeming prevailing senti-
ment Of the South
This ID the evidence. 1t is clear and IN
nista ksble. 1, 10 The candid admission OF
an ont and out pro-slsyery Paper, published
in The hot-bed Of slavery radicslism. The
Times could have no motive for making this
statement If 1t was not true. 1t 10 true

Territory now bllghied and Aitherec BY the
scorching fires which burn out the life OF
humanity, there 10 feeling-s deep rooted
sentiment, that the Republican party Is the
only organization that can rescue the Con.
stitntion and the Union from destruction.
In proof Of this, we point to Kentucky,
with its Republican Electoral ticket, TO be
supported, according to the admission OF the
Louisville Journal, . pro-slayery sheet, by
ct least ten thousand voters.
We also point to Delaware, and to Ma
rylsnd, and Texas. In ell Of these States
IL il admitted that there is a strong under
current setting towards Republicanism.-
Yet the Republican party is declared to be
sectional.
Despite these admissions, despite the
Republican platform, clear and concise in
it, Language, the sectionsi cry goes up from
the entir. pack OF Iro-slsvery hounds, mas

ing louder and deeper than the bloodhound
upon the track Of the fleeing fugitive. They
have no other cry to make. The principles
Of the Republican party are not attacked;
for they are impregnsble. The Republican
platform cannot be attacked BY any NORTH
ern man, unless he adopts instead Slavery
extension out and out.
The CANDID admission of the South Caro-
lima Tines should forever siiencei the cry OF
asecfionalism". We bring the statement

North. Look ., il, gentlemen. lie that a

Of the Times. worthy Of consideration, here,
although not german to the question under

reads:
