eTHE SECOND STEP IL AN EASY AND NArURr


When take wrong step, the second is both s,
aud natural The SrepubcaDs7 have taken such s,s,
They have commenced an agitation which looks to d,
control or the dissolution Of the Union portion Of then
and their allies and sympathizers beginning sp
out plainly Their next step will be TO join those now N
rne van upua the question Of dissolution The ReiOm
published at Ravenna, Ohio, says;
awe have scarcely met an intelligent republican 10 thr
months who satisfied with bis platform candidates
the abstract This dissatisfaction win be redoablsd elk mon
year from this time. The party will be compelled III
the rising tide Of northern public opinion to take hgAs
stand. The radical Abotionists hold the balance Of poEs
that public opinion, and IT, with courage N,
firing ZEAL they hold steadily In their course after I'M
election has oosened the floating Of slavery ma
from party allegiance, they will turn to standard q ~
orihamo of the next quadrennisl campaign"
This shows that the second natural and easy step vii
be taken by those who do not now, the Of pO
openly declare their Intentions Where that step will e
the writer shadows forth as follows:
Now it may be, and think II is true that the svc
alone will reach the We believe that the great Law
retbuton will not be appeased for the crimes OF this nal
except by blood History has no parallel OF hundreds
years Of such oppression has clothed the fair face Of
continent with its crimes that has been cured except by
button the oppressors Justice 10 demand Del
criminals for execution dark and bloody future loon
up before The heavens reflect the spectres of rugg
armies which but few months may become reaitiea vi
look forward with to the great events to be born
fierce struggle for human freedom We stand the bords
of prophetic ground looking back the government,
the world listening the shock and crash of fallen empire
hearing, hold TO the ground, the heavy fool
fall of the spirit of retrbution, its steps resound
from the isles OF the past Remembering that nation d
ages has sinned like ours and against clearer light the lead
conviction creeps soul that the revolving eyed
of and effect bringing rapidly to day of fed
fu vengeance"
This view is confirmed by those high in the confden
of the Fremont party. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
gious paper, says:
The people win not levy nor inaugurae revo
ton relieve Kansas until they have first tried
they do by voting. this peaceful remedy should
to be applied this year, then The people % count the
~ and decide for themselves boldly and frly 1hich tie
ter ,oay-o rise and Mrow of government porse ia
that of old King George endure 1t another four years
then uote again."
This is recommendation to resort to arms if Fremont
not elected.
Mr. Spinner, of the Herkimer and ST. Lawrence disr
in New York, Fremont leader in the House, thus pl
claims the reasonable purpose. He says;
''Should this fail, true would be any longer al
here the assault of the arrogant slave ogarchy u
would then rule with iron hand. For the free Ng(
would then be left the choice of peaceful dissolution
Union, ciVi ,chich poud end the same or an ii
conditional surrender of every principle held dear by h
men,"
Can any one doubt what this second step H. and that
is intended be taken Do not the peaceful orderObs
ing and Unionoving what the feast is to which The
mont invite the voters Of the country lie, M
take the first who does not intend to take the second
In the path of and ultimate treason and crime
