publican party in Massachusetts The structures
are equally applicable to the party at the west.
and indeed everywhere. For example, just now
cur eye rests upon an editorial in the Cincinnati
Gssevte in justification Of the Compromise Of the
Republicans in Congress upon the Crit,enden
Amendment. The articles closes with the follow.
ing statement Of the actual position Of the party:
THE Republican party stands where 1t ever has
stood. The macs VI it's members are conservative
men, lovers of the Union, OF peace and concord
between all sections, of honorable, disinterested
dealing with all subjects Of legislation as they
arise. They do not wage war with the South, nor
|, with slavery where it has n legal foothold. For
soGnd and most patriotic reasons they pro-
test. aud will continue to protest, against an IN
natural and forced extension Of this evil. 1t the
neople Of the Territories are hereafter left free to
choose for themselves, and events are allowed to
take their natural course, all they ask on this sub
jcct will be gained"
According to this. and we believe it to DO the ex.
act truth, the party is on! y q "squatter sovereign
ty" party. as that principles was enunciatsd By
Douglass OF the passage of the Nebraska BILL
Two years of contest with the slavery extensionist'
has brought them squarely round: onto Dougla"
position which they so violently opposed. They do
not toage toar upon the South. NOR WITH SLAVERY,
oheer IL has a legal .foothold'. They are conserv-
ativo men, lovers Of the Union and to save it
have . wonderful facility of lodging and comprO-
missing.
Such we believe to be the sentiments Of the ma.
jori.y of the party. or at least of the Influential
who control it. The. party therefore is justly
chargeable with these views and with this policy,
as claimed by the Gazette. While this is true very
many members of the party demonstrate against
them and give their adhesion to tho party under
protest, and occasionally strong condemnation.-
Such is the following paragraph from the Ohio
State Journal:
Mr.. Marshall. of Kentucky, in his recent speech
claimed. and was not coDtradicted-we think MIR.
Giddings would have set him right had not his sud
den illness prevented him from going cn--that the
Republicans have given up the principle Of opposi.
tion TO the increase Of Slave States for which they
have heretofore contended, and are now willing
to admit new States AS slave or free as the people
Of tie States applying for admission may. prefer
thereupon he complimented the patriotism Of
the Republicans. We want no such compli'
men,s, and We greatly mistake the Republic
ans Of Ohio. if they want them. We are
opposed, like Jehersun. to every species OF tyr
amy over the miud or body of men, and forever
hostile TO public or private oppression. If the Re.
publican party shall ever sink to the miserable lev
Ell If Indifference between Freedom and Slavery.
the Republican barty will cease to be worthy of an
honest mans attachment.
This paragraph does not state the whole truth in
regard to the facts connected with MIR. MarshslIs

he made ita Kentucky Democrat denied, while
from the Republican side of the House sever al re
spouses were made affirming its truth. The Re.

regard to what the actual position Of the party is.
