men-d0t the work alone. Done, it. certainly will
be, u the country is to be rescued from utter deg.
radiation and ruin.
We have thus indieatcd-we think 30 clearly
that our own views cannot be mistaken-vhat we
consider an indispensable condition of future co.
operation between the Opposition elements. This
is no bard condition, on any side. Southern
Americans can ncccu, il without assuming any
more difficult position than they have already tax
en- lin opposing ~Lecompton. North Americans
vii! hardly hesitate q moment TO como to this point
of union. They are, indeed, already committed to
it. The masses of the Anti. Lecompton Hemocra'
cy have virtually taken tho same ground. The
Republicans yield nothing vital by accepting these
terms. Their chief aim has been to place the Fed
eral government on o national basis of action, ir
accordance with the doctrines of the early states.
men With such ac.ion, no one has any longer
the least fear that our new Territories will be
forced into the embraces of slavery, or that the
powers of the government will be prostituted to its
extension.
There are, aside from the one question, strong
grounds of sympathy and many aims in common,
AS to these there will be little difficulty. Can we
be agreed on what must, after all, and in spite OF
all efforts so ~keepitin allegiance, be the controlling
issue in future political contests? Any effort to
ignore this issue, to temporizc with it, to treat il
in double phrase, or to deny its Importance. will be
utterly futile. We must agree on this; we mus
perfectly understand each other in regard to it; we
mus. have but one face upon it or else 90 apart,
Any lower standard will be scorned by the people,
and will only bring confusion on those who set il
up. For ourselves, at least, We have here stated
the only condition on which any genial "union" is
possible--not from any obstinucy or perverseness,
but from the very nature of the case. To 70 lar
Their thar this would not only involve a dishonora
Gle departure from the principles we sincerely
i hold, but would manifestly be q step in which the
people would never follow. Had Mr. Buchanan
fairly carried out the policy he protested at the
North, these slavery issues might have beer Sc
aside, and others have taken the precedence. Blu
it is now evident such will never be the case, unit
the government is wreeted from the hands of tn,
National Democracy, and the will of the ,peoplo i
made supreme.
The terms of admission to standing in 'thc par
) ty of freedom" are remarkably easy, when "South
Iern" as well as "Northern Americans" and can't
Lecompton Democrats" take virtually the sam
! ground" with Republicans aud when if Mr.. Blu
Q chanan chad fairly carried out his principles q
: professed at the North, it would have ~destroye
the Republican issues. 1t looks as though
would not be difficult still further to extend thi
s liberality and embrace Buchanan, Toombs, Stepf
Z ems, and L%ecompton to boot, in the ample folds c
, their cha rita5le cooperation.
What has the slave power to fear from opponent
so filled with sympathy for itself? And yet thi
is the best-the most radical party tina: can by an
possibility dream of success while loyal to tn
