is no new thing, we have never been entirely with
out just such men.
Francis p. Blair said at the Pittsburgh Convon-
ton recently that as it was understood that
this Republican organization was got up, not for
the purpose of the abolition Of Slavery in the
South but to prevent the notification of the rights
of the North, there would and that within year be
a response from the South which would asonish the
North. Now this Republican party is determined
to let the South know that they don't intend to
interfere with Southern Slavery. They have told
them over and that they did not so intend and
the real signs Of the times are that this Repub-
liv6n party will die out unless it take the higher
ground, at the present its whoic aim is succ' IS.
Its language is, be careful, be cautious. Afa y
great many Of the leaders have not, and do not
mean to get rid Of their Know Nothing obliga-
tons at least they have left things in such q fix
that they can slide any way as they think, without
being detected. They are in for all things all
men that they may thereby gain some, it is child
born of Know-Nothingism, it and its father and
two or three intermediate children are not over
three years old trinity of corruption. Their
motto is, no more compromise with Slavery. And
just as soon as they meet together for more per
us tueJ W Hlikt
concessions and talk of going back to 1920, to re-
enact compromise. The truth is they will sacri-
fee principle, make any concession for the sake Of
success. Does any one ask why the other parties
are not spoken of here? Itis because they make
no pretentions to be anything more than they show
themselves to be. But this Republican party
steals the livery of Heaven to ride into office.
Last fall voted for the last compromise candi-
date. Chase was the only man voted fo- | was
loath to do that, because he took much pains to
get rid of the charge of being an abolitionist Now
am an abolitionist, and will still cast my mite
wherever can get to vote for an abolitionist and
intend to begin with Gerrt Smith. | shall not
ask whether he is nominated or not My faith
says let the people 60. My practice shall be, let
the people go. If man says let the people go
under over the Constitution then l shall try
him. Mind am only stating what am going to
do. If Moses was here should go for him, be-
cause he did as he said he would and kicked over
Aaron's calf besides.
do hope that all the abolitionists will find some
body to vote for, for President. Wendell Phillips,
Theodore Parker, William Lloyd Garrison; there
are enough good men for abotionsts to vote for
without practically killing their faith. For my
part my mind is made up, l shall vote for Gerrit
Smith for next President of the United States.
Yours respectfully,

that the basis of its action he Thoroughly investi
gated and understood.
The candid, relectlag reader upon review %
the proceedings Of that Convention, will no doubt
feel sense of wonder at the shocking lack Of
business contemplated actual labor performed
by that Convention. hat wonder arises from ths
necessities Of the case. 1t was certainly ConvehA
ton Of men not measures. If we look for what it
accomplished, we look in vain. To be sure II call.
cd a nominating Convention-but that could have
been done at a less expense of money and kess
loss Of time and less wear and tear of physical
Larts. What we mean to say, IL, that the Conven-
tion did not do what it might have done, what the
exegincies of the times imperatvely demanded Of
it, and what true men had tight TO ask of it,
Heaven knows there is present mead enough Of q
powerful and radical powerful JeceaSs radical, }
antisiavery party III there has not yst been.
enough outrage enough intrigue, enough abase.
enough suffering, and enosgh despotism in this
country to arouse the people to a mighty effort for
their political salvation and redemption we are az
a loss to know when, in our history, we sbsA bs,
prepared to act.
The platform upon which the Republicans pro-
pose to act is composed as follows:
Ist.-We demand and shall attempt to secure.
the repeal of all laws which allow OF the introduc-
ton OF slavery in'o territories once consecrated to-
freedom, and will resist by every constitutional
means, the existence of slsyery ip any Of the ter
ritories of the United States.
2d-We will support by every lawful means our
brethren in Kansas, in their constitutional and
manly resistance to the usurpcd authority of their
awless invaders ard will give the full! weight Of
our political power in favor Of the immediate nd
mission Of Kansas to the Union as free, sovereign
and independent State.
! 3d.--Believing that the present Nationaf Ad:
minisration has shown itself to be weak and faith
less and that its continuance in power is identified
with progress ofthe slave power to natal suprema.
cy, with the exclusion Of freedom from the terrific
ry, and with increasing civil discord it is lead
ing purpose of our organization to resist and over
throw it,"
Now. we could wish this platform broader and
better one. We think there is need the. it should
he. Mere opposition to the Nebraska Swinde and
the Administration, are bat trHng virtues. The
Kansas matter will probably be decided before the
time for the Republican party to succeed shall
have come, and the present administration will
die of itself one year from to day. What then 10
there for the Republican party to do?
Most heartily We rejoice that there is such par.
ty. We only ask that it prove itself adequate to
the necessities Of the times, and we with IT,.

its probability, and with uniailing faith in the
power of truth and ultimate triumph of right do
the duty of to-day, leaving the rest with God and
the future
If one declares that "Pierco is q tool Of the
NJ more moral principle than tiger, or he would
have protested against, and prevented The outrages
of the ruians in Kansas" we may not believe it,
except his course has shown him to be such.-
When we are assured that "The hindmost of the
nations in civilization, will become the first in i'm
portance and refinement. The extensive countries
of Africa will bloom with the highest forms o
civilization, and the many hordes of Asia will be
brought to a knowledge of higher truths than they
ever yet ha We conceived of-and il shall come tc
pass according to words of past time, that the old
earth and the OLD heavens shall pass away and
there shall be d new earth and heaven wherein
shall dwell righteousness. The days now see
greater changes than the years. and centuries did
of old" we see no probability of SUCH revolution
in the condition of nations, by a glance at the
worlds past history; may admit its possibility
/ close these various examples with one which
will be acknowledged as truthful by every relig
ious person.
"The storms of time blow swiftly by and SWEEP
the forms of humanity to the tomb, but in tai
calm and shoreless ocean of Eternity, the soul i
at home, it passes on, but not in fear, it searche
deeply but not in darkness. The tempests Of lif
are scarcely fel. by the soul which realizes time a
drop of Eternity in the bosom of the Infinite
and that the destiny Of spirit is unbounded. II
that soul there is no dread, there Is instead thc
peace which Jesus left with his disciples, there thj
Holy Spirit rests, there the Saviour enters Will
righteousness and holiness"
A friend says to me, Spirituaism is not Anti
Slavery in its tendency, but rather the reverse,
cannot admit this, but do admit that the minds
of some become so absorbed in the topic as to
cause them to neglect other matters, not because
spirituasm is per SC pro-savery, but because their
minds f, the time, become unduly occupied in
what seems wonderful and is most interesting.
never have heard among COMMUNICATIONS purport-
ing TO be spiritual, anything more frequently en-
forced than duty to the slave.
But if many given have no direct words against
chattel slavery, the general tendency of the doc
trine is to liberalize every mind receiving it, and
to strengthen those who battle for freedom, and
add Importance and fervor their labors because
the dignity and worth of human spirits are inf
