A grave question is now on trial at Washington
this, namely: "Can there be any efficient, persist
"ent, successful opposition to National outrages
peIpetrated in the name and behalf of Slavery,
except By party which makes such opposition
&" its cardinal principlel" The issue of the Mis-
souri,, Wilmot Proviso, Texas Annexation and Ne
braska ;gles would indicate negative answer,
but there are still good citizens who cling to the DEM
ocratic or to the American party, yet say, " We,
&" too, condemn ard resist the wrongs perpetrated
I" for Slayerys sake and the extension of it's sway;
"whenever a case is presented, We will stand up
for Justice and Liberty, though in opposition to
the majority Of our party"
We shall now see what those professions are
worth, ard whether the course of conduct thus
indicated can ever prove effectual No case can
arise in future more favorable to it than that pre-
sented by the Lecompton outrage This great
wrong is in clear defiance Of the platforms of the
three great National parties. 1t wars upon the
primary instincts and most cherished principles of
our people. 1t assas the right, not of negroes but
of white men, to shape their own institutions. And
it was opposed and denounced at the opening of the
present Congress by the most distinguished and
influential Democratic leader now in Congress-a
man of dauntless courage, infinite resources and
matchess energy. Enough of his own party take
ground with him to render bis triumph certain,
provided these should neither be bribed nor buled
to desert him.
As to the Republicans, they have not merely
been uniformly firm and faithful. They have been
discreet, deferential, conciGatory, as well. They
have followed rather than led, though they were in
number more than three.fourths Of the entire anti
Lecompton host. They have waived differences,
and readily consented to meet the anti-Lecompton
Democrats and Americans more than half way.
They have not asked who led, nor which side con-
ceded most, but whether the course proposed
would or would not tend TO bring Kansas speedily
into the Union Free State; if it would, they ban
isled oil distractions and sustained it.
Is the ant-Lecompton column now to be shat
tered by the artillery of the White House, duly
charged with Federal patronage or Treasury gold
We do not say that il is-we are not sure that it
is not We feel sure only of this-that, should that
column now be broken by the detection of certain
anti'Lecompton Democrats (and no other DETECTION
is even apprebended), the People cannot fail thence
forth to realize that the Republican party is the re-
suit Of national rccessty-that in il is the only hope
of arrestr the march Of the Slave Power 20 arro-
CANT domination and aggression, both within and
without our National boundaries Should Lecomp-
ton triumph after all we have seen and krown. it
