in Il Senate Of July 7th, 1891 on abolition
p'titOns,' you will find that he desgnates these
as those covered by the abolition petitions Of
that year, in the rejection of which both parties
agreed The Fugitive Shave law was not then
part OF the slavery controversy. 1t IS more
recent discovery that laws for the recovery of
escaped slaves are unconstitutional and IN deiin-
ing the position Of the Wing party upon that
bill, refer to the resolution of the Convention
I that nominated Gen. Scott for the Presidency
n 1852. The eighth, resolution was in these
words.
"8. Resolee,I, That the series Of measures
known as the compromise, iKcl,gliag tie fAFtfcS
Slace lo,o, received and acquiesced in
by the Wing party of the United States,
as a settlement in principle and in sa5-
stdnce a fadi and complete settlement Of the dan
geSous and exciting subjects they embrace, and
so far as the fugitive slave law is concerned tUe
tgH maintain The same and insist on is strict ep-
torcemeat until time and experience show the
necessity Of further legislation against evasion or
abuses but not inpatring its present e5ciency; shd
we deprecate all further agitation Of the Slavery
question as dangerous to our peace, and We will
discountenance all efforts as to the renewal or
continuance Of such agitation in Congress or out

the Union"
This was endorsed by the Wing party of Ohio
and fthe County in which reside. In Jeffer-
son County the Wing party 'highly approved Of
President Filmore'S administration as being in
conformity with the Constitution and the unity
ofhe States" And the Wing Convention of
this State, of July 81 1852, endorsed the nom
ination af General Scott, and rendered to their
friends in other States the assurance hathey en-
tered into the contest united" Sc. Now this Sc
ries of measures mp! ises everything which the
abolitionists through Mr. bingham now oppose.
This series of measures rec ogn zed ;he ght ofin
coming States to adopt their own institutions, &
it recognized the constitutional obligation of Con-
gresS to pass laws to secure the return of fugi-
:. tive slaves. In 1852 the Democratic and Wing
parties both stood where the Democratic party
now stands in reference to these sect ional
qucsons- therefore appeal to all thosewhe

| have endcavored to show that the Wings
were with the Democrats at one time on these
r slavery issuts. This Republican organization
has in it many old line Wings who are not in
favor of the ultra views" of the Abolitionists
that is true. The Cincinnati Gazette said the
other day that "the tendency Of things was not
in favoro Of ultra vie,Ds" "that the dogma Of no
more Slave States was not part ofthe Repub-
lican crced''-that the Philadelphia Platform
was not required to be 'ireafirmed in eevry
quarter anil every local contest" (thank God ours
can be) ana was down generally on those
ultra men who have gone to clamoring for no
more slave States and no more slave Terrific
RES" Eveh Horace Greelg the other day pub
fcly declared that the doctrines Of the Cinci-
natl Platform expressed the public mind on this
kquestion Of "no more slave States;'' that tho
island of Cuba or any other territory framing a
Constitution embodying the institution OF sla-
very was entitled to admission into the Union
: withit. 1t is true also that the nomination of
Gorwin and Others, ever avowed Abolitionists,
is some evidence that the tide is going out that
bore the Abolition party into power. But it is
not so in this District. The mon OF ''ultra views"
still hold the reinS, and the conservative Wings
are bound hand ard loot to their power and the
/. Philadelphia Platform with its eloquent and
exten led remaraks' as the CINCINNATI Gazette
calls them, are still thought by the leaders fit to
be read to the party in this '1ocal contest"
Speaking of that Philadelphia Platform reminds
me Of what was slid by Lovejoy of Illinois, now
stumping that State for Lincoln, at the Conven-
tion that passed it. read from Ohio State
Journal DAILY June 20. 1858. He said at
''was this doctrine OF the Immortality Of the
'soul that lay at the foundation Of 4Alpltioni$p,
"(and this was saluted with loud cheers.) 1t,
might be said that this would carry as into the
'Slauelolli0g States. True, but it did not de-
''mand that we should exercise aRy power save
"a moral one. He was standing here in Phila-
| dclphia and might lie permitted to quote the
Saying ofFrankhn whoasserted that he would
''go to the verge The Constitution in favor of
freedom" But he (thc Speaker scoa1 not
be satisfied acjHt dat--he WouM jump Off the Con-
stit1ajoa to pronaa'e the sane oyect'' This same
speaker thus speaks of the contest-"we are
preparing for a stern thought bloodless conflict,
and in this issue S'eee'y must go ove5' tie pre-
Gpice" am reminded also by what Lincoln
himself said the other day in Illinois on the sub
IJect of interference with slavery in the Slave
States:
IA house divided against Itself cannot stand.
| | believe this Union cannot endure permanently
half free and half slave. | do not expect tile
Union to be dissolved, do not expect the house
to fall, do expect the house to fall, do ex-
pect it to cease to be divided. 1t will be all
one thing or all the other.'
| 1.-THE spirit that dictated these things, and
similar things over the country would not vio-
late the principles 'jump off the Constellation"
what meaning can be atteached to them, cam
not divine. i
