SPRISGvIILE, Oct. II 1876.
| MY DEAR SIR: Yours OF the I'D ut has been re-
ceiy ed in which YOU inquire, whether the lingering
hope expressed TO you that the Baltimore COnyen
ton would reiterate the former Wing doctrine, at
least take como positive ground OH the subject OF
Slay cry. Extension, had been real2edF frankly
confess il has not The necessity of making this sd
mission much depore but it really sppears to that
the que stuns involved in the present canvass present
but two sides, without an inch OF neutral ground on
which the eye can rest. What are those questions
The first which from tt evidences see about ne seems
to be the all-asorbing topic relates TO our domestic,
and the second, which in my judgment Is of nearly
eoual magnitude to foreign policy. The question
relating TO domestic policy IL not simply whether
Slavery shall be permitted Ia establish hcrsct IN Terri
tory low free, a question OF which the entire Wing
party of the North fr, III its organization until s de-
cline has always pesi-tcny maintained the negative.
Neither is simply whether Slavery shall be extended
into Tcrlhory once dedlcatedto ircedom by solemn
contract question about which IT seems to me there
should be no difference of opinion but reaches farther,
and presents to the American people the alternative
whehor hereafter, through all coming time in this Gov
ernae. of ours, formed, among other Ieason for the
pun oss Of securing the blessings OF liberty, freed I'm
