Mr.. MORGAN md THE AMERICANS,

To N. Editor If The n. y. IyituHe
SIR In view Of the great importance Of the coming
election in our State-an Importance which no one
more ably than Yourself has sought 10 impress upon
voters-I ask brief space in yoor crowded columns
10 express my views upon topic of such general
interest.
The issue low to be decided, or rather to be pre-
saged for victory now viii be triumphantly cele-
bra,ed IN 1860, IL between Slavery ard Freedom. ]
do not use those words in the Abolition sense but po-
l,icslly. The question at the coming election which
is submitted to the feemen of the Empire State, is
whether they will uphold AL Administration which
truckles TO the South and deceves the North-whci,
with month turned Southwark says SLAVERY rs n
necessary evil and must be perpetuated lor your ben

il so says 1.-The people have right to decide whether
or no Slavery shall exist among then or "me,noi raai
they will support that party which, having real
governing principle, seeks to secure the rights of
freemen TO ALL and which If governed by its iniepre
teton of the great Compromise act so infamous'y re-
pealsd ana abured for sectional party purposes.
The Republican party stands upon the grand ana
rnpregnabie platform Of human freedom, and on this
platform all who not the slaves Of faction
all who dare 70 think for themselves, and thinking
dare To act proudly take their position assured tat
though defeat may be their present portion, eventual
triumph must be theirs, for theirs is the cause OF justice
ard truth.
But wander from my subject In the address OF
Mr.. Morgan To the Convention which Domnsted him,
he uses the following language:
"Thc Federa Goysnruel 'se .urrle L;-rument Of the
the high purpose Of tie RePnbean psy 70 overthISw and 70
s il IL s 'S e d ss s's and In invites is the ana
cooperation the men of al parties. whose convictions ana
m hazards of the contest when victory the effort
rejoicing in the triumph and participating in e ho''of when
brings.
Now. Mr. Editor a. ali America" TN cp-
ponent OF the Administration upon principle, ask
why can there not be union Both parties are op-
posed to the present Admiuisiration-both nre op-
posed to il on the same prnciples-toth are strug-
gIu lo overthrow it-both desire it's defeat ard the
members of each party will leave effort unred to
secure that end. But divided, what may he the re-
suit Ii is no assumption on the part OF the hepnb-
hCans to assert that as between themselves ana lhe
Americans, they retain great prepondcraicc, anu
as u member of the American party, admit It, We
NAV nav We will. send representatives oi our
sDec,al principles to the Legislature, perhaps 10 the
Senate; but 1 am not welded 10 party nor 80
bound by party ties to claim unsided the election
Of d single State officer.
On the State ticket the Democrats are united.
Every effort of ser1e and trucking Administration
win be put forth to secure victory. The American,
and Republicans combined carry this State, and
save il from the odiun OF snpporingthe Administration
of NJ. Buchanan-an Administration which has only
kept It's alive by trucking TO one section ana de-
ceiving thc ether.
The words of Mr.. Morgan, quoted above, give
earnest Of MS desires anu intentions. The Repub
cans battling for the same principles se me Amcrl-
II promises 20 share with slch will JOIN them in
the hazards Of The contest the houors which victory
will bring. Surely. what more is needed And, as
American, appeal 10 those OF my own party VINO
desire and hope 10 See the present Administration
Justly rebuked ior TIA mcauuess lis trrgiyersation ana
ts duphcity, to unite with any partyw can secure
such desirable consummatiOn. Convinced that n
uuion with the Republic party can alone save us
from further and future infections Of two-faced Ad
ministrsiion shall give II my hearty support. Not
because " | love Cssar less but that j love Rome

H. Nj. Morgan - presented candidate NOT only
unimpeaohabe in public private ~ political Lie: ever
faithful 10 his principles, consistent but gem
teman of such high and wei-known prohity OF char
acieI that his word has been esteemed Ls bond
He has, as the spokesman VI the great Republican
party promised that those who share in the hazards
Of the contest shall alike share IN the honor which
victory brings; and with my interpretation of these
words, with NY earnest desire 10 administer the re-
bukc of popular condemnation to weak vacilGting
and trucking Administration | shall go with him
