"As member Of the republican convention say with
confidence that to the Of that body nothing
could be revolving than the general manumson OF the
slaves in the South, and putting them level with the
white race.
The liberation Of the blacks under existing

We next bring upon the stand Speaker Banks, and
quote from his speech at the Exchange in the city
of New York. lie spoke as follows:
"with the Institution slavery we have nothing do.
With the institutions Of the southern States local tradition
al, have nothing to do and know that speak the
sentiments that animate the hearts Of all here when
say that determined to interfere in way at
time and to extent with those SECTIONAL local. and ira
dona rights which distinguish them. [Great applause
But II they choose for their interest and OF their
voon to make this change trust that there Is inteli
New York. who would have anything say against that 1t
work for them and for u.s. and dismiss this matter
asserting that the declaration that intend interfere
their affairs is bold and baseless SANDER, animatng
section of the people OF the North and representing the
feelings the Intentions and the purposes of consd
cradle portion Of any State of the northern portion of this
confederacy."
"Now for this 1.-THE Kansas difficulty have rene
dy speak for that portion of the northern people in
another part of the conederacy, with whom associa
ted and for you The question not that shall leg
isate against the South upon the question of slavery II is
that shall legsate upon the question Of the fugitive
slave law We don't raise the question whether in the fu
ture extension Of territory slavery shall be prohibited
or no. We abandon all these questions and stand upon this
distinct simple proposition that that which peace ~
the country 1920, and that which secured tn"
country in 1885, ought to be made good bv the
of the United State with the consent Of the American peo-
pie. Ireat applause That's nil ask-no more, no
better, worse-that the spirit of the acts
of 1920 and 1eb0 shall be made good in 1856 by the
American peope-of the South, let say, as well as
the North-in the place Of the confagraton murder,
and civil that prevail in Kansas. To do this
legislation is required and is necessary that the
halls OF Congress should be again opened agitation.
We desire the election of President the United States of
simple views and determined will, who will exert the inu
of the In that portion Of the territory
the United States and allow the people of this country to
settle the question Of slavery for themselves there We ask
than this and when have succeeded in the
and will succeed Jgreat applause the fact is
ed that Fremont elected Kansas will again restored to
freedom without legislative act the interference Of the
hand of government In any way Applause. So much,
gentlemen for the remedy In regard Kansas that we
pose 1t is simple feasible, and staesmanike proposition
Effect the settlement Of this question, you remove
question of agitation and give again the peace which
joyed in 1884,"
II the reader will pause and reperuse the eI-
tracts have made from Messrs Seward Hale and VIII
son. he win be amazed at the difference in the objects and
purposes which these Of leaders declare are TO be
accomplished by the election Of Col Fremont Messrs
Blair and Banks utterly repudiate the programme Of
Messrs. Seward Hale, and Wilson, and pronounce il
Islander black republcanism attribute to 1t the de
signs and objects expressly laid down by them Mr. Blair
arms that he helped install black repubicanism for
the purpose of adding to the security of slavery the
southern States. Mr. Banks says that whoever inmates
that his party intends to interfere with slavery in the
States Is guilty Of bold and baseess Islander He goes
still further he adopts and endorses the nonnerventon
principle Of the Kansas BILL and says that his party wants
other legislation for the settlement of the difficulties in
Kansas Such is the present phase which Msssrs Blair
and Banks give TO Frcmontism.
We have heretofore maintained that Messrs Blair and
Banks frightened into their tone of moderation and
conservatism by the storm Of indignation which they saw
rising in the North against the reasonable designs Of their
party Being acknowledged leaders assumed that they
would not dare thus repadate the programme prepared
for them without consultation with such master spirits in
their party as Messrs. Seward, Hale and Wilson and
hence conclusion that the present position of Ere
montsm a fraudulent device escape the odium Of
disunionism and the danger Of defeat
II is still difficult for believe that two such cham
pions Blair and Banks would venture upon 90 bold an
enterprise that Of rejecting the platform Of their party
without consultation with the leaders we have named
There circumstances however, which give FEASIBILITY
to the superstition that there is treason in the Fremont
camp and that II may be extensive than at frat
blush 1t would appear II Is well to recoect that the as
ISOLATION Of Messrs Blair Banks Fremont and Bennett
with Mcss Seward Hale and Wilson, is OF recent date
and that their relations heretofore have not been Of that
intimate and csfdng character that would even now in
spire mutual love and confidence Messrs Blair Banks
Fremont and Bennett partake somewhat Of the
Of recruits or nteropers in organization gotten up by
Mr. Seward Nor do suppose that Mr. Seward ever saw
much in their antecedcnts to inspire him with special
gard for their fidelity TO other political organizations to
which they have been attached and which they have no
torously betrayed and deserted " he is half as shrewd
he reputed he could help knowing that there has
heretofore been kind Of political feow-feeng existing
