New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-10-28

We are on the eve of an important Election
On the aide of the Republicans, there prevails the
calmress cf conscious strength. the csndor of con
scious right. We have labortd through nut to bring
our opponents TO Issue the great question which
divides the Nation. We have dared them to meet
us before the People and invoke their verdict on the
doctrines respecting Slavery and the Rights of Man
embf died in the Cincinnati Platform, the Dred
Scott decision, and the assumption of President
Buchanan that "Slaveiy exists in Kansas ulder
"the Federal Constitution" ard that no power
exists to eradicate it from Territory while it re-
tains tie Territorial condition. These doctrines
which make all our National Territories, present
ard future Slave Territories, and darken with
the shadow of predestined Human Bondage
one.half our National area outside of the
Save States-are the cornerstone of the
present .elfstyled Democracy. They have
given it almost unconteste1 sway over the Save
States; they form the arch which supports its
fabric Of power. NO,o they keep them as much ac
possible ont of right, and cry "TaxatOn ~
"Plunder!" Estate Bankruptcy" in order to
distract the public attention therefrom; bat let
them carry State and they will claim that these
doctrines have received the Deliberate Endorsement
Of the People Of New. York. Whatever faults may
baye been con United or shared by Republicans in
the past it is not for these, but for their assertion
Of the Rights of Human Nature, that the Sham De-
mOcIacy of the Union now listsDs and hopes for the
tidings of their overthrow.
Republicans of the Empire State they have
charged US with fa5rica.irg tales of Outrage and
fraud in Kansas Elec.ions-what will they say now,
when their own Governor of Kansas--bimself an
eIgpeer and instgatOr If some Of the most Iecent
and flagrant of these frauds-s compelled to reject
the official return from their largest poll, as so gar
ING and bald fraud that even he cannot uphold it,
though the fate of the Territory depends thereon
Did we invent the story of this gigantic fraud If
so, why do Walker and Stanton reject the return,
though it involves surrender Of the Legislature to
the psrty they loathe and would annihilate
They tell u.s. Republicans that we try TO dis
tract attention from New York TO Kansas. But
Slavery is here, claiming sovereignty over the soil
of New York-ltisatng its right to make our ports
the depots and points Of shipment of its gangs
of human cattle fleeing enc of our ablest lawyers
to advocate in our Courts its right to make New.
YoIk focus Of the domestic Slave Trade, aud
fuently quoting the bred Scott Judicial opinions in
support of that claim. Who will continue to
struggle against the meditated decoration of our
soil, if the allies Of the Slave Power shall now
obtain the asceLdency J Are you ready to join
hands with the promoters of this giant nquisy, this
burning shame
Hours roll swiftly: 10 few days, the political
character of our State for 1857 viii be decided. We
only ask that each shall vote now rs he shall wish to
stand on the record after the petty make weights
and electioneeriDg tricks of the contest shsl have
been forgotten. Whatever you believe or feel with
regard 10 the Great Question which viii color the
history Of our age, we entreat you to express it BY
Your vote next Tuesdsy
