means and talents to promote his happiness
and improvement. to an equality Of all men,
without regard to creed, country, color, or
condition, before the law, on all the fresh
and virgin soil Of the nation. There has
not an expression come up TO us which does
not breathe the same spirit not ono man
has opened his mouth upon the subject bot to
express the same desire: only one sentiment
and one aim seems 10 pervade them all,
and that is to organize on such platform
that every one esteeming himself AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN, all people with free hearts and free
hopes, may feel that they arc especially in
yited, and are equallya at home. We have no
doubt but that, under this feeling, an organ
ization upon such basis will be effected.
Il is agreeable to the sentiment which pre-
walls in the Republican party elsewhere, and
was made the foundation and first principle
Of its organization, il agreeable 70 It's scope
and spirit, and is, we believe, the unanimous
desire Of those who wish to cooperate in the
movement in this region. We hope banks,
tariffs, nativism and anti-natiyism, moral
suasion and legal suasion, old party, old ma
tonal and old sectional preudices, partizan
loves, partizan animosities, and party idols,
will all be LAID aside, until the country shall
be assured Of immunity from imminent and
impending difficulties That is the desire Of
us all,-let US say 50 explicitly. We love
the Union. we will raise no hand to impair
it's force and vitality, we do what we pro-
pose for the purpose Of establishing it's per-
petuity on a soldier foundation,-let us de-
clare it. we have nothing TO do with Slay-
erv in the States, where it exists as local
institution by virtue of local laws, we only
desire that ii should continue as it is, To-
cal matter, for which the people who cstab-
hshed and who maintain it are response
Bile, desiring only to separate ourselves as "a
nation and people for all responsibility
therefor, let rs proclaim the fact. Let ey-
erv thing be fair. honorable. and above
board, fully discussed, well understood, and
clearly stated. We shall then render our
position impregnable We shall stand in
position which commands the real, honest
consent Of every FREE MAN, every genuine
American. And we shall gather within our
ranks every frank, manly, rue-hearted, in
tellgent, unbiased citizen.
