TIE NATIONAL ERA FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

The National Republican Party is at last
inaugaraleI. The official report of the pro-
ceedings OF TIE Republican Convention at Pitts
burgh, and sketches of the speeches made,
published in another place, will be read with
intense interest. As it has placed the Party in
d position, in which it accepts the issue forced
upon It by the Slavery and Administration Par
iy IN which we can consistently and cordially
sustain il, and which bids fair to command the
support OF the great body of the voters of the
country opposed to the rule of the Slave Oil
gareby, and as its nominations at the Conven-
ton in June viii doubtless be made to conform
strictly to, and enforce that position, we pro-

The Republican, is nov, the first National
Party in the field; its immediate duty is, to
perfect its organization in every State, and
marshal all Its forces for the great struggle
with the oligarchy and its suxiliaries, next No
vember. To maintain it as the first Party, and
TO insure its triumph, the Press that advocates
its Principles and Policy must be put in requi-
sition, and its issues scattered, thick as " the
leaves in Valismbrosa." If our friends think

sanity 10 bring about the union of freemen in
one organization, on one issue, for the over
throw Of the Slave Power, can render service
in the work before them, will they give little
tirae and effort, to enlarge the sphere of its in
fuence, by raising subscribers for the campaign
edition? AS to its character it will be, what
it has always been, pending a struggle for as
tendency at the baIlct-box.

The wrongs and outrages inflicted on the Free
State People of Kansas, the insolence Of the
Border Ruffians, the glaring completely Of the
Federal authorities, the indisposition of the
President to do anything in defence of the
dearest rights, or even the lives, Of the Free
State People, and his eagerness to dragoon
them into submission to the atrocious laws so
audaciously imposed on them by the Border
Ruffians. were vividly, effectively set forth. /
