trict, that when the time comes, they will re-
deem the promises they had made.D
L desire to inquire of Mr.. Ould, through the
Inteutgencer, whether his response is correctly
reported.
And in doing so, disclaim any intention to
cast any censure, or make any imputation
against him, for uttering the sentiments contain
ed IN IT. 1t is a matter of some Importance for
Northern men, and especially for members of
Congress from the free States, who do not SYM
pathize with the people of the District on the
subject of Slavery, to know, with as much accu-
racy as possible the precise state of feeling en-
tertained toward them by the great body of the
people here.
And as this speech was made by one repre-
sentative of the District in the presence of
others, who by their silence endorsed it, re-
gard 1t as a very authentic, and no doubt very
accurate, representation of that feeling.
Viewing it in this light, justice to Mr.. Ould
and his colleagues, as well as to their constit-
uents, requires that they should have an oppor-
tunity of correcting any errors that may have
crept into newspaper report of what was said
and done upon that occasion.
Hoping that you will have the goodness to
publish this note, and that Mr.. Ould will do
me the favor to reply to it through the Luteui-
gencer, subscribe myself, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, B. STANTON.

dered all party ties-let Americans" Wings,
Democrats, Free Democrats, do the same. Is
there any humiliation in that? Why, in the
present crisis, should a Democrat cut loose
from his Party, and an American" hold OF
to his l.?
We tell you, Know Nothings of the Free
States, that if you are so American" that you
cannot dissolve your party ties, as we have
done, and unite with US on equal terms, on the
present question, you are more welded to your
Nativism and Anti-C Catholicism, than you are
to Freedom, and your proper place is, the Ma
tional American Party, under the lead of Mil
Lard Fillmore. Be manly-choose openly whom
you will serve-Freedom or Slavery. If you
are for Freedom, alone, say so, surrender your
Party, and we are with you. If you are for
"Americanism" and Freedom-as much of the
latter as you can get without suspending the
claims of the former-make terms at once vita
the Fillmore Nationals, help them cripple the
North, and to give power again to Slavery.
Manage as you may, we will never support,
directly or indirectly, Know Nothing Party,
National or Northern.
We call upon all true Anti-Slavery men who
have been trying to use the Order to advance
the interests of Freedom, now that it is openly
sectionalized, and committed to the cause of
Slavery, to give it up-disband your Councils,
or, where you have not this power, leave them
without the inf uence your presence has hither-
erto lent them. Let us have Republican
Party, which, if not successful in 1856, shall
come into power in 1860, with the full force Of
its Principles, unadulterated by base alloy.

Harlan, Houston, Seward, Wade, voting In the
negative.
1t is marvellous how such measures can be
carried in the Senate without full discussion
of their policy.
The resolution affirming the right of MIR.
Trumbull to his seat was then discussed, MIR.
Crittenden supporting, and Mr.. Pugh, OF Ohio,
opposing it.
The House devoted much of the day to the
consideration of the Deficiency bill, which was
at last reported.
With the exception, then, of the several
speeches on Kansas affairs, and the correspond
ence laid before the Senate in relation to the
Enlistment and Central American Questions,
the proceedings of Congress the last week have
been barren of interest.

and rebuke to their sentiments and they hold
that the admission into the National Council
and Nominating Convention of the delegates
from Louisiana, representing Roman Catholic
constituency, absolved every true American
from all obligation to sustain the action of either
of said bodies. They have, therefore, with
drawn from the Nominating Convention, refu-
sing to participate in the proposed nomination;
and now address themselves to the Americans
of the country, especially Of the States they
represent, to justify and approve their action.
And to the end that nomination, conforming
to the everything sentiment of the country in
the great issue, may be regularly and auspi
ciously made, the undersigned propose to the
Americans in all the States to assemble in their
several State organizations, and elect delegates
to Convention, to meet in the city of New
York, on Thursday, the 18th day of June next,
for the purpose of nominating candidates for
President and Vice President of the United

THE NATIONAL ERA FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1856.

The National Republican Party is at last
inaugurated. The official report of the pro
ceedings of the 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
a position, in which it accepts the issue forced
upon it by the Slavery and Administration Par
ty, in which we can consistently and cordially
sustain it, 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
garchy, and as its nominations at the Conven-
ton in June will doubtless be made to conform
strictly to, and enforce that position, we pro-
pose to issue the National Era,
FOR THE CAMPAIGN,
From the 4th Of April, ensuing, to the 5th
of December, inclusive, comprising thirty-six
numbers of the Era, covering the whole period
of the Presidential canvass. election, and re-
turns,
For 81 copy, to clubs Of fire, or more.
The Republican, is now, 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 auxiliaries, 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 Vallambrosa." If our friends think
the National Era, which has labored SO inces-
sanity to 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 a little
tirne 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 ballot-box.

CORRESPONDENCE.

WASHINGTON, February %, 1856.
To the Editor o. the National Era:
Enclosed you have a communication. which
was sent to the office of the National IafeY;
gencer for publication on the day of its date.
1t was returned TO me yesterday, with the re-
fussl of the Editors to publish it, on the ground
that the subject-matter of it was not of sufii-
cient importance to justify its publication
My reasons for selecting the Lntelligencer for
the publication of it, were: LIST. That from
early life, uatil within very few years, had
always regarded that paper as the most authen-
tic and reliable exponent of my political creed,
and the undoubted organ of the political party
with which l had always acted so long as it
had political existence. I'd. Because 1 sup.
posed the politics Of the bste1igencer to be more
in harmony with the opinions of the great body
of the people of the District, whose attention
i desired to attract to the subject, than any
other paper.
/ now ask you, upon whom have no claims,
and with whom | sympathize In only single
question ESQ far as know in the whole range
Of National Politics, to do me the favor, which
is refused by my former friends, of publishing
the enclosed communication.
Yours, &C., B. STANTON.
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington, Feb. 20, 1856.
Messrs Gales d Seaton:
GENTLEMEN: 1 cut the following toast and
response, from the proceedings of the recent
Southern Convention at Richmond, as they
were reported TO the New York Herald.
"The District of Columbia: The battle ground
of Southern institutions--we plant our stand
ard here. Who will desert that flag? Air by
the band.
"Mr. Ould, of Georgetown, responded to the
toast. He would say for the District, that, il
any controversy takes place between the two
sections of this country, the position she would
occupy in it is very well known; she cherishes
the sentiments of the whole South, although
she is on the northern frontier. The point
which has been made the fulcrum of Slavery
agitated in Congress, shall be, if it comes to
that, made 'the bloody ground and it shall
prove itself, like the arch, the stronger for the
pressure. He knew there would be, in an event
of that kind, the strongest responsibility devoly
ing upon a people holding such relations
with the North as the District of Columbia did.
But her people had learned to meet this respon.
sibility. They had stared at the Medusa head
and were not turned to stone. Applause.
The South might, therefore, rely upon the Dis
