that such salvation was not worth securing
| We doubt whether even one such man can
be found to-day and all We have to say is,
that the slovocracy wish them to make the
same mistake in $50 that was made in 1856
wish another Slavocratic Administration,
against the will Of the people-and wish and
nope to get just such another, through the
division and antagonism Of those who are
really and heartily sick Of the tyranny and
corruption that such an Administration would
| perpetuate.
But as to the talk of anew organization to
! displace the Republican party. There is
/ little of such talk, outside Of the shamDem-
ocratic editors-the navy agents, post-masters
and printers by federal authority. 1t comes
/ mainly--and very naturally, too-from edit
ors who were Fillmore men in 1856 and from
Wings, and ultra anti-slavory men as we'll,
who. for different reasons kept out Of the
Republican party in 1856 We say it is per
fec,ly natural for such to desire some new ar
rangoment; for they are ont Of position. The
very necessities of the times and the temper
of the people--the wrong upon wrong, out
rage upon outrage, blundor upon blunder,
Of the ruling party-have thrown the lead
and the labor in the work Of opposition and
reform, upon the largest party in the oppose
ton, and that is the Republican party. Ev-
cry body expected the Republicans to throw
themselves. hand and heart, into the work
and they bqrc done it. Not man-high or
humble, in office or out of it-has hesitated
for moment; nor have they hositated for u
moment to receive gratefully the aid Of those
/ who were not of them. or to award generous
/ ly the honor that such deserve. Thus the Re
/ publican party has itself deserved and won
/ the sympathy Of thousands who were led a
gainst them in $50 by those very gentlemen
who arc now so very anxious for aBcr purity.
/ We think We can understand these gentlemen:
they have mono to toito,0 them, just now their
vocation is gone--their position is lost,-and
they intensely desire a new party, which will
count them in. 1t is all very natural these
| gentlemen dislike the name of Republican,
because they have been at war with Republic
cans. 70 be sure they see their error, and
they would be glad to get rid of it-bm NTH
/ ont repentance and conversion. They would
/ get into the Republican lold,-but any way
rather than through the front door They
must climb, up and in, some other way-and
this 'new organization is their chosen lad
der. Now VIC are happy to say that in this
emergency the Republicans universally seem
to be pursuing wise course. Adhering firm
ly to their own organization and principles,
they yet say, in the very spirit in which their
organization was originally made, that they
will eheeriully receive all to their ranks, ir-
respective of former party distinctions, who
will go with them in the work to which they
are dedicated, and cheerfully cooperate with
other organizations just far as these CO.
operate with them in the common cause.
This is precisely the position of the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, whose action has
been regarded in some quarters as a squirt al
least towards new party. Not so. The re-
cent State Convention was called, avowedly
as a Union Convention of the different par
tics opposed to the National Administration
and called by the Executive Committees o
the several parties in opposition, each retaining
its own organization. 1t is a case of opcT
and honorable corporation, suited to the exi
gcnces Of the great State of Pennsylvania
aud designed to wrest it from the hands O
the Slavocracy Where is the Republican
or whore the anti-slavory man, whose sympa
thcs arc not in such a work, and whose hear
will not leap for joy at the consummation O
such purpose; We give the resolutions O
the Pennsylvania Convention, rcmmkin,
again, to save all misunderstanding, thar i
was not a Republican Convention, nor al
american Convention, nor an hdpcndca
Democratic Convention, but Convention

its resolutions simply to the points ON whicl
