The Republican Party,

Wequote the GLOWING from senator aIe
late speech in Congress-:
"Sir, am a member aud am proud of it, Of
the great Republican party 1t is no sectional
party. 1t Is accused Of all maner of sins; but
it is organized upon the broadest equity-to
give every man his rights and invade no mans
rights, 1t intends to render impartial justice to
every section of this nation; it invokes the aid
Of good men from all sections and from all par
ties, who lOathe the frauds which have beset the
old parties, 1t is the only hope Of those VINO
zee the Government in the hands OF the Old par
| ties now running waste and suffering shipwreck
This great party was not organized by any man
any more than the Wing party was oVerthroWh
by the nterposition Of any man. The Senator
from Maryland, Mr.. Kennedy the other day
supposed that the old w K party was entirely
obhterated and oyertbr a. by the Senator from

his power | admit his ability; l admit his
worthincss to mould =, les to mould parties

as in the hands Of anybody; but he has not the
power, and there never was man armed with

Personalities.

The Express accuses the Standard Of
using low, contemplate epthets in speak
ing of Democrats, and says we seek eve
ry opportunity to personally abuse prom
inent members Of that party. We deny
this accusation positively, We have al
ways said, in public and private, that if
it were not for the Httle politicians of the
party, those that we compared to fright
ened pis-mires, that the great mass of the
Democratic party would be with the Re-
pubicans. We know as we'll as the Er-
press does, that very large number ol
the best portion of the Democrats are our
subscribers, and we are determined 10 ex-
pose the falsehoods and rascalities of your
little politicians to them through these
columns, and all your dodging, and whin,
ing about hypocritcal cant, will not pre-
vent us from SO doing. Only last fall, the
Erpress published a string of ultra aboli.

they were the Republican Platform. The

through the columns Of the Standard!
The Express will bear witness, that VI
have not INDUCED in low epithets wheI
speaking Of Democrats. We'have neve
used the word "Loco'oco," so Commonl
applied to that party. Yet the Express
, in the same article, free y uses the wor
"Dlack Republican party. Some mem
bers Of the Democratic party are so &C
customed to the use u this kind Of lo1
slang, that they never think of its in'g
plicability to the Republican party.
1t would be well for those who use tn
word "bIack," in politics, to reflect me
ment, and see to which party it can b
applied with the greatest reason. Th
Express will not dare deny that prom
J nent members Of its party, all over tn
} Slave States, are every year bagettinG
with negro wenchos, whom N%laIm t

, of the little politicians do not know tht
t they are any better than negroes, unlc'
the law declares them to be so; henc

party to force slavery into the territories
Of the United States. The frauds and
violence perpetrated in the territory of

there will be no vital reason why its con.
