the head and body have been buried.
There Is really no union now between the
North and the South, and he believed no two
nations upon the earth entertained feelings of
more bitter rancor towards each other than
these two sections of the republic. The only
salvation OF the Union, therefore, was to be
found IN diyesting it entirely from all faint of
slavery"
NATHANIEL p. BANKS,
the Union Slider Speaker Of the Abolition
House of Representatives, is a leader of the
Fremont party, and was Withdrawn from the
candidacy of the Knownothing seceder's con-
vention to make way for Fremont. Hear him
Although am not one of that class Of
men who cry for the perpetuation of the Union,
though | am willing in certain state of cir
cumstances to let it slide, / have no fear for
its perpetnation. But let me say, If the chief
object of the people of this country be to main
tain and propagate chattel property in man
in other words, human slavery, this Union
cannot and ought not to stand"
HORACE MANN
is supporter Of Fremont Hear him: m
"ln conclusion have only to add that such
is my solemn and abiding conviction of the
character of slavery, that, under full sense
OF my responsibility TO my country and my
God, deliberately say better disunion--better
a civil or servie war-better anything that
God in his providence shall send-than an ex-
tension of the bounds of slavery"
HENRY WILSON
is leader Of the Fremont party, and was pre-
sent and spoke at the Philadelphia convention,
where he was received with unbounded APP
plause. Hear him:
Let US remember that more than three
millions of bondmen, grooming under name
less woes, demand that we shall reprove each
other, and that we labor for their deliverance.
II tell you here tonight that the agitation
of this question of human slavery will continue
while the foot of slave presses the soil of the
American republic"
CHARLES SUMNER,
the "illustrious sorehead" of Massachusetts,, is
a leader and martyr of the Fremont party.
His blood is to be the seed of the party. Hear
him:
"The good citizen as he reads the require
ments of this act 1.-THE fugitive slave act is filed
with horror. Here the path of duty is
clear. / AN BOUND TO DIsoBEY THIS ACT.
Sir, will not dishonor this home of the
Pilgrims and Of the Revolution by admitting
nay, cannot beieve-that this bill will be
executed here"
RUFUS P. sPAULDING
was member and leader of the convention.
Hear him:
Sin the case of the alternative being pre-
sented of the continuance of slavery or dis
solution of the Union, am for dissolution,
and care not how quick it comes"
HON. ERASTUS HOPKINS,
Of Massachusetts, was a member of the con-
vention. Hear him:
!" If peaceful means fail us, and we are
driven to the last extremity, where ballots are
useless, then we'll make bullets effective. Ire
mendous applause.
GEN. JAMES WATSON WEBB
was leader in the convention. Hear him in
a speech on the floor:
"On the action of this convention depends
the fate of the country; if the Republicans,
fail at the ballot-box, we will be forced to drive
back the saveocracy with fire and sword"
(Cheers.)
Just in the same spirit, and no more boldly
speaks William Lloyd Garrison. Hear him
"This Union is lie. The American Union
is an imposture, a covenant with death and an
agreement with hell. / am for its over
throwl Up with the flag of disunion, that we
may have free and glorious republic of our
own, and when the hour shall come the hour
will have arrived that shall witness the over
throw Of slavery"
Hear also I'll. M. Addison, of the American
Advertiser, in the same strain:
~ detest slavery, and say unhesitatingly
that ! am in favor of its abolition by some
means, if it send all the party organizations
in the Union, and the Union itself, to the deril.
If it can only exist by holding millions of hu,
man beings in the most abject and cruel sys-
tenn Of slavery that ever cursed the earth, it is
great pity IL soas eoer formed, and tie sooner
IL is dissoloed the better.
ANsON BURLINGAME,
Of Massachusetts, member Of Congress, IA
also leader of the Fremont Party. Hear
him:
The times demand and we must have an
anti slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery
Bible, and an anti-slavery Cod"
We might multiply these extracts without
number, and we may resume and add a few
more pearls to this Abolition necklace Suffice
it for the present to say that, throughout the
whole convention which nominated Fremont,
in which, by the way, nearly one-half of the
States of this Union were not represented,)
the only watchword was, "rally the North
rally the whole North" With such platform
and such leaders and opponents, uttering such
attrocious sentiments, have we not Justly and
rightly styled the Fremont ticket !" the Adolf
ton Disunion ticket2n Will not sober-mnded
men who love their country, the Union and
the Constitution, pause and reflect whittier we
are drifting, and what it is to support such
ticket? t.e
The New York TRIBuSE-We suppose If
any person should read but one paper, and that
the Police Gazette, he might imagine that one
half the world was engaged in cutting the
threats of the other half robbing from them
committing rapes arsons, or what not for the
news columns of that sheet are filled with such
accounts. So. too, if one only read the Water
Cure Journal, he might get an idea that one
half the world we're a-soak and the other half
securing them with rough cloths To read the
Spiritualist alone one might come to think that
