M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1856-07-31


The Anti.Slavery party is composed OF
men of all former political opinions the
aim and object Of this party is not to inter-
feFe with the institution Of Slavery in the
States where il is recognised by their State
Constitutions but to circumscribe or limit
it to its present limit.-GaHid Republican.
fit is not the purpose " to interfere with
the institution of Slavery where it IS recog-
nized by their State Constitutions why do
your leading men assert that tits Il! ]. R.
Giddings who took a prominent part in the
COnvention-representing Ohio in Com
mittee on resolutions, that nominated Fre-
mont, in a speech few years ago on the
floor of Congress, whilst speaking on the
Ten Million Bill, said
81 look forward to the day when there
shall be a SERVILE EINSURRECTION in
the South when the black man armed with
BRITISH BAYONETS and led on by
BRITISH OFFICERS, shall asserthis free,
dom, a. wage a war of eXtermination against
his master, end the TORCH OF THE IN
CENDIARY SHALL LIGHT UP THE
TOWNS OF THE SOUTH, and blot out
the last vestige Of slavery and though /
may not mock at their calamity, nor laugh
when their fear cometh, yet | will hail it as
the dawn of political millennium
W. II. Seward, who is acknowledged to
be the master spirit the Black Republican
movement in the United States, says
"There is higher law than the Consti-
tuition which regulates our authority over
the domain. 1t Slavery can and must be
ABOLISHED, AND YOU AND | MUST
DO II. Correct your own error tina,
slavery has any constitutional guarantees
which may not be relnquished You will
soon bring the parties of the country into
an EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION UPON SLAVERY
Mr. Birney wrote letter to the New Yorl
Tribune of July 27th, 1854, advocating al
immediate effort for the abolition of slavery
In answer to this, Greeley said -
Admit that abolition in the States is wha
all men ought TO strive for, and still it il
clear to our mind that large majority
are not prepaled for this, and the practic
al question is this--shall we politically at
tempt what will certainly involve US in de-
feat and failure OF shall we not rather at
tempt what majority are ripe for, and thu
by our consequent triumph, invite that ma
jority TO 90 lurther7 Shall we insist VI
having all the possible eggs now, or shall W,
be content to await their appearance day b.
day The latter seems to us the only sen
sibe, rational course. We care not hoO fdS
Messrs. Birney & Co. may ripen public Senti
ment in the North for emGncipatiOnjwe vii
aid them 10 the best Of our ability but W
will not refuse good now within our reac
out Of Difference to that which is as yet un
attainable. Mr.. Birney's "ultimatum" ma,
be just what he sees fit we have not propos
ed 10 modify or meddle 1utth 1t. We onl.
ask that he shall not interdict or prevent tn
doing Of some good at once, merely because h
would like TO do more good-aS zoe shall also
tOheneUer ii shall become practicable.
Thus it is seen that it is the aim an
object of this party" "to interfere with the
institutions of Slavery in the States wher'
it is recognised by their State Constitu
tions," so proclaimed by the very men in tn
lead of whom the Republican is following
but it would fain make the voters of Ohio
think differently. Deception is the game
The white men of Ohio are not ready U
be oyerrun with niggers, and the Republican
knows it, hence it tries to "throw WOO
in their eyes" that they may not see tht
aim and object" of those who control tn
Black Republican party.
