- Such are the doctrines propounded by Mr.
Hmm J. Raymond as those Of the Republican
patty, Of which b. was then member. His pro.
ie.sion Of those principles had secured him nm emi-
uent and honorable position, aud no intimsion was
ever eiver, prior TO the Presidential election OF
1856, that he in any way di-sented from them Those
principles, We sTe confident are cherished aswarm-
ly and as proudly to-day, by the great body oi the
Republicans, as they were when Mr. Raymond
enunciated or when he was elected upon them.
Whatever impulse or aspiration may have led him
into his present attitude is not shared, nor is it
likely to be- by the great body of his late complt-
riots and supporters. They still believe it their
right and their paramount duty to resist the E1ten-
sion of Slavery and the aggrandizement of the
Slave Power, whether by the creation OF new Slave
Territories out of our National Domain or by the
addition OF IuDdi Ntnliat AHitIlch VI P"tp '"

DrCd Scott decision, by facilitating the iDtrOiuc.
tion of Slavery into the T rritores seems to them
TO have enhanced the necessity for ealhA,t active
positive efforts to prevent such Introduction. Aud
the fact that no opponent OF the Slave Power is
now permitted to hold the smallest Office under the
Federal Government provided Slavery Extension
,t can be found willing to take it, nerves their
resolution to work and watch for the good time
