to the Importance of at once taking the
matter in hand and instructing their
representatives to provide for the csta-
blishment of an Independent Treasury
system, as the only safe and reliable
means of caring for the public funds.
We shall refer to this matter again.
Has any state been Benefited
by the AsceMdency of Modern
RepUblicaRiiSln
Modern republicanism has secured,
through various instrumcntalities, the
asccndcncy in eleven States. The
Washington Union very truly says, that
it has nowhere triumphed without the
aid of acknowledgment, to which it has
usually added some other of the mod
ern isms, originally intended, it may be,
for some useful or well-intendcd pur-
pose. In Maine, after combining with
know-nothineisln, it is used the "Maine
law until it destroyed its intended use
fulness and occnsioned its ultimate re
PEAL. In six other States, where SINH
lar laws have been passed. they have fail
ed of useful results, because moulded
and converted topoliticai uses. Repub-
licanism has not improved the morals OF
respect for the laws or religion in any
one State, but the tendency resulting
from its sway has been the reverse. In
New Hampshire it has cngendered bitter
strife and hatred, and destroyed much
of the happiness her citizens formerly
enjoyed. Massachusetts, has become dis
organized, her treasury exhausted, and
debt accumulated, and the people dis
tracted. Rhode Island is a small field
of unhappy strife and dccpseated ami
mositics growing out of the republican
creed. Evenin Connecticut republican
ism has laid the nest-egg of debt, TO
add to the other infections of its mys-
tcrious access to power. Vermont, too,
has suffered from the malign influence
exerted by the ag~itators, who allow no
one to remain quiet, ~pcaceable, and hap
Ply. In her once quiet limits those who
refuse to join in the disunion schemes
of abolition are pursued with a fury and
~engeanc that would do credit to Ca
manches. Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michi-
gan have suffered from republican dis
regard of constitutions and laws, and
from those prosecutions which charac-
terize creeds which are found upon false
instead Of true principles. The state of
the Ohio treasury and the open resis-
lance to the execution of the laws, and
their sad train of consequences, show
what. republicanism has done for the
Buckeye State. New York is apink of
Il republican State. Her constitution
has been violated by the legislature fill.
ing her session laws with tyrannicalen-
acments. Her courts are @continualS
called upon to ,%,2clarc their statutes void
fer wont of constitutions, power to en-
act them. The nine-million-loan piIii:
passed to give fat contracts to hungry
republicans, and her tyrannical Maine
law, are Illustrations. Her highest
court is now considering the new York
city police law, claimed to lie equally
invalid. Her public debt is continually
increased, and her taxes are becoming
intoicrable. Her State authorities are
arrayed against those of her commercial
city, and the people within its limits are
in a state little better than actual war.
Such is her condition, that many peace
able citizens refuse to visit her great city
for fear of dang rous Consequences
Wherever rel u5!i:ans has secured q foot
hold the good order and happiness of
the people seem to have become blighted.
Envy, hatred, and malice, and all I'M
charitablcness, are staple commodies in
practical use. None so high or so low
as to escape the assaults of the slavery
agitatcrs. Not one Of the eleven States
named has, in any II thing, been i'm
proved by the ascendcncy ofrcpublican-
ism. On the contrary. each has suffer
cd in some, and others of them in many
ways by its misrule. 1t has created no
prosperity, nor added to the protection
or increased the privileges of the people.
1t has neither added to their knowledge
nor improved their temper or manners,
nor contributed to their quiet OF con-
tcntmcnt. Not one man can truly ga
that his happiness has been promoted by
it, unless he has been rewarded by office,
through which he enjoys either honor OF
profit, which, in truth, is the sole object
of the organization of the republican
party.
