TORY OR DEATH


That the whole spirit and scope of the republican move
and of the political dcmagogues who direct it hos
tile to the very existence of present constitution and
form of government admits of doubt These poll
cans despairng of recognition and punder at the hands
Of the phoEe country, have determined influence the
passions of section and put themselves nj the head of the
most crazy and fanacal an-savery feeling which has
been developed in the northern States As specimen of
the ncendiary sentiments which must characterize tho
of black republicansm, may refer the
doctrines pat forth few days ago at the annual meeting
OF the American AntSavery Society in the city of New
York. VIM. Lloyd Garrison presided. Among the reso-
buttons adopted were the following:
Resolved That the right to ensave human being, on
pretence whatever is not debatabe question, any
than Is the right TO commit adultery burglary high
robbery, o piracy.
esolUed That struggling not for the non-exten-
sop but for the nonexstence of slavery not TO make il
sectional but to drive ii out of the land to restore the
Missouri Compromise but TO terminate all compromises
repeal the aggressions of the slave power upon
northern rights but TO freedom and equality all
who dwell upon the American soil making the imbruted
slave The test Of all craftsmanship all patriotism all phlan-
thropy, and all true religion.
Here we have the doctrines Of black republcansm bold
y and broadly stated They simply the "non-ex-
tension Of slavery to territory, but its "non-eSistence
in the States where has been established not simply to
resist slavery in its present limits and make 1t Sectional
bit "drye ii out OF the land not TO restore the Mis-
souri, Compromise, but TO terminate all compromised
And the argument put the ground that slavery has
rights any than adultery, burglary highway
robbery piracy rights in the language of the AL
bany Journals Kansas meeting at State Capitol Eek
cept the right be ked-be rights which, accord
ing TO the Journal Sheriff Jones had In Kansas.
These positions of the anti-slavery gathering in New
York-which is but branch of this boosted republican
movement for freedom"-are in entire accordance with
the following resolutions reported by Greeley the repub-
ican State convention held at Syracuse last fall and
adopted by that body:
Resolued That the federal government being one Of
defined and limited powers &C. earnestly deny
It's right establish uphold tolerate slavery in any por-
ton Of the public domain to oonvs its existence in
the federal territory by any means whatever.
ResoiVed That since there be legal slavery In
the Territories Of Union there be no Stare States
legally formed out Of such Territories" &c
These resolutions go the length Of saying that slavery
has no constitutional rghts-no right of exstence-no
right Except TO be killed" any State formed since the
adoption of the constitution They that the gen
government cannot under the constitution even o
crate let alone slavery in the Territories but must sup
press it. From this position they derive their next concu-
on that the constitution orbds the formation Of slave
States out Of such Territories and therefore that slavery
has constitutional existence except in the original thr-
teen States.
Thus we see Greeley and Garrison Seward and Theo-
dore Parker standing side by side upon the plat

saying;
Those engaged in this enterprise might be divided into
two classes political reformers and non-poca reormers
who do not seek any Office legislative or exec
