 THkKE is great deal in names. But how often do opprobrious. dpithe6 rebound to the contempt of those who uftes ther and how often does the coin age of some malignant brain, become fhe waschword of victory.
 Now the sdninistraaion. and ih Southern min ions, have ransacked ter store of Billingsgate to find q rhurae to void upon the Nosth,' Niggers worshippers, Black Republicans, Disunionists, Ia natics and last of all, Abotionists, is the common slang handled about by these re-eaters and slave drivers. Of all the names, however, which their malignity has invented none is 80 utterly false to principles of the Republican party as this of Aboli ton. It is ae worthy of the father of iies and his emissasies from South Carolina and Illinois -a lie matched from cockatrice's eggs, and sent forth pcnt-Kke to sting and decoy.
 Go through this village, this County, this State, and see how many men you can ind that harbor thought for tho abolition of slavery, even years hence. Cast your thoughts back to the first day that the South commenced her tirade of islander on the North, and maligned us an entire people l; and then come down to tho present time, and how many abolitionists can you find that have ever ex- istedr Not tithe of the population can be found even at this day, when we are insulted alike with blows and words in favor of the aboshment of sla- very and yet the entire North save the traitors and office -holders,) are proclaimed abolitionists. Why is this vile lies Why this base slander upon . Union-loving, Republicserving people? The South is a unit upon the subject of slavery Run up the black flag, and to its support flock nearly the whole white population of it's borders, and any man who has been heard to say q word against the institution, is at branded abolitionist Is it fair, however, because for the last forty years there have existed few fanatics in New England that the entire Northern States should be pronoun- ccd fanatical? Is it honorable, that party which has no more kindred with the aboltionists than with the bones of the late Emperor Nicholas should be so pronounced and falsifed in every particular. | In these remarks, we do not appeal to the honor or fairness of the Administration party We are too we'll acquainted with their clements, to expect any ! thing of the kind. No, we speak, if we may re- move from the mind of some worthy, yet trembling Democrat, the fear of isunion and fanaticism which are indeed the characteristics of the abolition party The republican party of to-day, had its origin in attempt to deprive the residents of the North of their equal rights free American citizens and by vllanous exertion of fraud and war; to force slavery into the territory of Kansas Its platform is con- stitutional rights, and it appeals to the published writings of Washington, Jefferson, and their con- temporaries for its support.
 1 Its history since its first commencement, is the history of the Republican party of l776 its great enemies set of domestic traitors akin to the | ts,riaS and of fl,of To- mclnber right the Hon. Mir - Otis was as- saulted and disabled for life by British officer and in 1856, Charles Sumner, Esq was assaulted and alike injured in the Senate of the United States by a bully in the pay of South Carolina. In all re- spects the parallel is complete
 Again. the Republican party of to-day rests on the same deep foundation the Republican party of 76 It's great ideas are, liberty, equality and free rights, and while it seeks to disturb no insti- tuition of the South it openly uvows its determina.
 on to prevent the extension of slavery into territo- ries guarantied to freedom
 1t denies the right of the South, having taken Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana, and devoted them to slavery, to repudiate the compact to which she assented when she received them and it most de- citledly and dcterminedly denies the right of the Southern and Border kufian to stack his arms in front of the baiot-box, and thereby prevent North ern citizens from casting their votcs
 Is there any thing like the abolition of slavery in all this! Is there any thing but what is constitu- tional just and honorable Is there single fea- ture to which every Northern man cannot subscribe with his entire heart! We look to November for an answer.
