'ln conclusion have only to add that such is
my solemn and abiding conviction of the charaC
ter of slavery chat, undera full sense OF my res
possibility to my country and my God. deiber-
ately say. better disunion-better civil or SER
vile wor-better anything that God in his proyi-
dence shall send-than an extension Of the bounds
of slavery
John p. Hale, at the Fremont Convention, June
17th 1856, said:
81 congratulate the Convention upon the spirit
of unanimity with which it has done its work |
believe that this is not so much Convention to
change the Administration Of the Government,
but to say whether there shall be any government
to be administered. \ ou have assembled, not to
say whether this Union shall be preserved, but to
say whether it shall be blessing or a scorn, and
Kissing among the nations
The Know Nothing State Convention Of Hi
nois friends Of Frcmont adopted the following
among other fanatical resolutions:
THAT the time has arrived when the American
party of the United States are called upon to take
open, fearless, and unreserved ground upon the
great question of Slavery, that is now agitating
the people Of every section Of this Union; and
that the intense excitement and agitation which
at the present time are dstracting our country
upon the subject of slavery have been caused by
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
"The essential modification Of the natulaIiza-
ton laws by extending the time of residence re-
citizenship.
Resistance to the corrupting influences and ag-
gressive policy of the Romish Church, answering
opposition to all foreign influence, or interference
of foreign emissares, whether civil or ccclesasti-

"A northern coutederacy, with no union with

labor
"Justce and liberty God and man, demand the
dissolution oGthis saveholding Union, and the
formation Of a NORTHERN CONFEDERACY, in which
Shareholders shall stand before the law as telons,
and treated as pirates are treated. God and hui

The aU0lced .45oljtj0aisi AMI DistaiOaiSt, Hen
~ TJIard Beecher, of .Neto York, on FrGn0nt.
The reverend agitator, Henry Ward Beecher is
out for Fremont, in q late number OF his nue.
geadeat He is probably, next to Garrison and
Phillips. the most proiligate calumnlator OF the
Constitution and the Union. On the 10th OF Jan
uary 1855 Becchcr said, in lecture in New
York on the subject Of cutting the North from
the South
"All attempts al evasion, at adiourning, at CON
cealing and compromising are in vain. The rea-
son of our long agitation is, not that restless Abb
olitionists are abroad. Two great powers that
lwill not live together are in our midst, and tug
ging at each Others throats. They will search
each other out, though you separate them nun
dred times. And if by any insane blindness you
shall conrive to put OFF the issue, and send this
unsettled dispute down to your children, 1t Will
90 down, gathering volume and strength at every
/ step to waste and desolate their heritage Let it
be settled now Clear The place Bring in.the
champions Let them put their lances in rest for
the charge. Sound the trumpet and God save the

RIFLES BEToRE BBLEs.-At public meeting
| held in his church to promote emigration 10
! Kansas the Rev. Henry Ward Beechcr made the
| following remarks as we find them in the report
of the New York Evening Post:
Gle believed that the Sharp rife was truly
mortal agency and there was more moral power
| in one Of those Instruments SO far as the slave
holders Of Kansas was concerned, than in hun
dred Bibles"
In this paper (he independently this ianati-
cal supporter and friend of Fremont says:
1T is long since this paper took the ground that
the first thing though by no means the only thing
needul, was the formation of Sectional parties
of parties distinctly Northern and Southern, and,
of necessity, Slavery and Anti-Slavery. We re
joice that our eyes behold the day OF that begin
ming of the end"
1--WE need hardly say that we do not look upon
this new party one that should supcrccde the
antSlavcry movement. 1t has sprung from that
movement, and whatever Of strength and hope it
has lies in the ant-Slavery feeling Of the North
ern mind. 1t is vain that seryile men-pleasures
seek to separate this effect from its ant-Slayery
origin. The Shareholders stamp it with its real
characters, and describe it better than it likes
to do itself"
A few more extracts and we have done.

fate of the country, If the Republicans fall at the
