To the Editor Of the National Erd,
A word in reply to your comment upon nv
communication in the Era of the I'D of Nav
You say, a" Is it best 10 precipitate crisis, be-
fore the action of the Philadelp hia Convention I?
Suppose the resolves and nominations of that
body should be entirely satisfactory would
they not remedy all the evils Mr. Julian com
plains Off" / answer, that, for reasons given
in my letter referred to- the action of the Phila-
delphia Convention, whatever it may be, can
have nothing to do with the support of our
" Peoples ticket" My objection to the ticket
is not merely that the platform on which it is
placed is a sneaking dodge of the great issue
before the country, but that the men nominated
are not entitled to the support of Anti-Slavery
men. AS single example, i will take Mr..
Morton, the nominee for Governor. He re-
CARDS the Fugitive Slave Act as constitutional,
and to be enforced like any other law. He
likewise publicly declares that, if the people of
any Territory south of the Missouri restriction,
as, for instance, that of Utah or New Mexico,
should organize themselves into States, and
demand admission into the Union as slave
holding States, he would vote to receive them
as such. Now, are we to support men for the
State offices of Indiana, who stand on the COM
promise measures of 1850, provided "the re-
solves and nominations" of the Phladephia

feel very sure that there are at least some hun.
dreds of men in this State who will answer this
question in the negative, and act accordingly,
without the slightest reference to what our Ma
hOnal Convention may do. 1t is true that,
should it plant itself on broad and bold ground,
and give us the right man for a standard bear
er, it would powerfully aid our cause in the
States; but men thoroughly in earnest will
naturally withhold their confidence from those
who only reverence Pro- Slavery creed as a
last resort, and under circumstances of politi.
cal extremity. Respectfully,
