Republicans Of Ohio, as your Central Committee,
1T the clote of this campaign we desire to address
few words TO you as to our future course. The re-
publican party il now fully organized In evory free
State ,aO In several OF the slave States Of the Union.
Aganst the grea. slave holding aistocracy, welding
Ststs against its allies IN the free States, mslead
ing the pcOp'e t0 the propagandisla OF slavery in
the abused name of democracy; against the waole
influence and patronage of corrupt national ad.
ministrat0n; against the concentrated activities Of
the Catholic church, deceived into the belief that
the religion OF its members was la danger from
publican asccndncy, or Willingly len tiug itself 70
the establishment Of political desp0tism; against
these comhned powers aud intluences-never sg ain
to be combined-this youthful but mighty party has
just maoe gallant fight, and IL not Successful, has
deserved success. IL has carried the most in
ttiligent, euterprising and populous States OF
f1p. Il haa lied uUGar T. nann
Maine, New Hampshire, Vcrmoot, Massachu-
setfs, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Ohio,
Mcnieon, wisconsin and Iowa. IL has In ITS ranks
an army OF freemcn vino know their rights aud the
principles upon which our government Is foaaded,
8nd who csnIot be drawn from their advoc .cy and
defence. IL has glorious future. IL Droscribss no
man - sccsunt of birth, religion or former political
sssocaAc3s. Il Welcomes % tts rznAn ~ v - aro
Wiling 70 ute for the maintenance OF right against
wrong, Of freedom against slavery. OF de nocratic
republicanism against arssocratc despotism. The
slave power, now exalted into predominauce by vio
lcpce. deception, and fraud will control the admin
istration of Buchanan 1t has oiled the admin
isIation Of Pierce. To what particular objects its
activities will be directed II il not possible &, fore
tell. Whether il viii demand the organization Of
new slave States in Kansas and other territories,
or the enlargement Of the AREA Of slavery
ty the acquisition Of additional slave territory,
or the increase and consolidation OF its dominion
in the existing States through the decisions Of
slaveholdng and pro slavery Judges or seeking oil
these objects at once. and exerting all Its energies,
viii endcavor to establish its gloomy supremacy
upon the ruins Of State sovereignty and popular
rights cannot now be foreseen. One thing. however.
Is certain. Every despotism IL aggressive, and the
despotsm OF the slave power is no exception to the
universal rule The pnce Of liberty Is eternal vigi-
lance. Every aggression Of slavery must lie met at
the threshold and sternly repeled' Nor must the
republican party wait for new aggressions. IL must
redress the old IL must insist upon the restoration
Of freedom to Kansas and upon the exclusion Of
slavery from every territory.
Slavery must be driven back into the slave States
Against the arrogant pretonson that slavery exists
wherever not prohibited by State law, must be op-
posed the true doctrine OF the constitution that
slavery cannot exist except where sanctioned by
State law. The just influence OF the general
government must be felt on the side of freedom
everywhere. Resisting resOlutely the extension OF
the area OF slavery, the republican party should
seek, through all Just and honorable means. the
extension OF the OF freedom by the enlargement
Of our national boundaries and the introduction into
the Union Of new free States. In one word, the re-
publican party should aim 10 accomplish glorious
and peaceful political revolution through the mbsti
tuition in the administration OF national govern
ment Of the will Of the people for the wiz Of The
Shareholders.
We invoke the aid Of the people of Ohio In this
great work Of progress and reform. We call upon
republican friends 10 stand by their principles,
10 maintain their organizations and 70 be ever ready
10 act in concert with their republican brethren in
other States in defence Of the rights and interests
of the freemen Of the nation. Our party has poSl
Non, power, moral force, hold upon the con-
scionce and judgment Of intelligent and patriotic
men, that renders It formidable to tyrants and the
propsodists Of slavery and constitutes IL the grant
bulwark Of freedom, free territory, tree labor and all
the blessings of free institutions Ohio has proud
precminence as republican State. The eyes OF free
men everywhere are turned n her with hope and
confidence Let there be no faltering, no waycring
in our ranks; let there be compromise Of prnci.
ple, but steady rceoute determination n stand by
our cause until the nation shall be redeemed.
