deserving tribute to the servile Democracy
of the North: ..t
"And here permit me, as a duty to you and
an obligation upon myself, to pay the tribute
which [ believe to be due the Northern De
moeracy. Having formed my opinion of them

Improbable to political traders in New Eng

the increased vote which in some of the States,

pies, their candidates have received. You may
now often hear among them not only the un-
qualified defence of your constitutional rights,
but the yindication Of your institutions in the
abstract and in the concrete. f-
" In the town of Portland, just preceding the
election, Democrat, of large means and eK-
tensively engaged in commercial transactions
and CITY improvements, addressed the DemOc-
racy, arguing thatt their prosperity depended upon
their connection with countries the products Of
which were dependent upon slave labor; and
the future growth and prosperity of their CITY
depended upon the extension of slave labor into
all countries where il could be pro6tably en-
ployed. He showed by a statistical statement
the paralyzing effect which would be Produced
upon their interest by the abolition of Slavery.

RENEWING THE LIST.
scribers

Every year, on renewing my Inst, see more
and more clearly the necessity Of having good,
efficient agents Ny subscription mainly de-
pends upon their efforts. If a voluntary agent
AT anv Office die, remove, get out of temper, or
grow indifferent, the list begins TO run down
Take two specimens. One, who has done well
in times past, at Dupage, H., declines acting
as agent this year. His reasons are-he had a
hard time last year, spent five days, advanced
part of the money, which has not yet been re-
funded-then the Democratic postmaster IS mail
carrier-mails are very irregular, and, if paper
fails. he 1.-THE AGENT has to bear the blame. So,
ON the whole, he will not act longer.

that an agent, in addition to his efforts, should
advance his money. But, as to mail irregular
titles. submit that II is hard TO punish the Era
for them-especially when it must be the great
est sufferer. Certainly, whenever the cause OF
failure may exist in my Office, it is simply neces'
sarv to bring the matter to my notice. never
overlook any complaint of the kind. Of course,
as nv friend has concluded to do nothing, the
Era will be very sure to suffer at Dupage.
Now, for the other side. A voluntary agent
at Dresden, Ohio, sending me some subscribers,
says" Nothing shall be left undone in my
corner Of the vineyard, at any time of the year,
10 keep your list in growing condition Ihave
a hst-twenty -four-who have agreed to take it,
but SIX of whom have paid me, whose names

sibler
This friend is evidently not discouraged, and
as his faith is so are his works. l could publish
extracts from other letters of kindred spirit
but we have done enough to show how q sub

be ruined by neglect.

Republics; but twice, ct least, we are sure,
It has proclaimed the principle that, in the
case Of conflict between two foreign Powers,
where hostilities were waged in utter disregard
o. the aspal laws Regulating wars in modern
times, with circumstances of signal barbarty
and cruelty, other nations would have a right
in the name of humanity, to protest and inter.

other Christian Governments, interfered to
certain extent, many years ago, for the protec-
ton of Christian subjects of the Sultan. =

is sound one but If carried to such an ex-
tent as TO isolate our country, cut it off from
all positive influence on the interests of man
kind, it becomes mean, selfish, and mischiev-
GUS. We need not be oficious, or impairment,
or violent. Is there no interference but armed
invasion2 Mr.. Meade is sent as Minister to
Brazil; and the first thing he does is to admon-
ish the Emperor that the two countries are
identified in interest by Slavery, and that they
should unite in a policy calculated to protect
the Western Continent against the fanaticism
of Europe. Was this interference? We have
yet to learn that General Cass has rebuked
him for it. Will any one say vshy an Amer
can Minister at foreign Court may not use
his influence, in all proper ways, for the re
moval Of usages, or promotion OF reforms, that
may open the way for a more profitable and
friendly intercourse between that country and
his own?
But, more than this, we hold that it is the
right of our Government to use its influence by
protest, remonstrance, or argument, for the re-
dress of fragrant outrage committed by
another, although within its own jurisdiction,
when that outrage is in effect an attack upon
an Institution, sacred to mankind, or Right,
Unidentified with humanity. AS its own safety
depends upon the preservation of such an insti-
tuition, such right, it is bound to vindicate
them wherever assailed as well as it can. The
only question for it to determine is, whether II
can interpOse wisely and effectually. Now, II
seems TO u.s. that this Mortara abduction affair
furnishes Just such an occasion-a great out
rage on a fundamental right of mankind
against which worlds protest should thunder
at the Vatican. Not as Protestants, or Ameri
cans, but as men, as fathers and mothers, whose
rights are assailed by this act of Roman tyranny
against the Family Institution, ought we to pro
test against it.

have often worked with others TO keep up your
list. Now wish to state TO you candidly and
fairly why |, with others in this region of the
same political faith, are not willing to renew
our subscriptions for the Era, is the GOODNESS Of
your sheet in reference to the contest between
the Republicans and Douglas in this State the
present fall, which we looked upon as one Of
great importance. The satisfaction you seem
TO take in the return of the great humbug,
Douglas, the great champion Of Popular Sow
ereignty, who, If returned TO the Senate, will be
returned by the management Of himself and
friends, against a ma ority of 5000 of those
popular sovereigns whose wills are so dear 70
the Senator, in whose place, if we had succeed
ed, we would have sent a man there who i q
man Of principle, and who, in point of talent.
would be more like Seward and Crittenden
than Douglas. Now, the contest here was not
between the Administration and Douglas-in
that, il there had been any here, you, as a Re
publican journalist, would be consistent We
think a mere smile from you and the New York
have given us the victory. Your publishing,
without note or comment, from two strong Pro
Slavery papers-the Frankfort Commonwealth
and the Missouri .Stdtesmdn-while We know
their views Of the discussion of the issues are
most unfavorable TO our cause and our man.
These things convince Us that we are not mis-
taken in our conclusion. Forneys Press, Mis-
souri, Republican, took a warm interest and
worked hard for Douglas. In your position as
to the Republicans standing alone, heartily
concur As for nursing up party under the
name Of Opposition, and so forth, / look upon
it as most disastrous. But pardon me for
drawing out this thing longer than intended.
Your friend and true Republican.

We print the whole Of this letter Just as

a right to take what paper they please, but no
right at all to misrepresent anybody. This Is
the second time NE have been charged with
giving aid and countenanee 10 Mr.. Douglas in
the late Illinois canvass. Once for all, we fat
" contradict the charge, and assert that not the
slightest evidence can be adduced 70 sustain It.
Every careful reader Of the Era knows that in
this matter the Era dissented from the position
of some other Eastern Republican papers, and
that we devoted more space To giving aid TO our
Republican friends in Illinois than 70 our friends
in any other State. Let us add, that in no Re
publican newspaper in Illinois was the Pro
Slavery position Of Mr.. Douglas more thorough
ly and carefully exposed than in the editorial
columns Of the Era. We are amazed at the
misrepresentation BY Mr. Turnbull. He Ger
tainly has not read the Era with any attention

81 Republican majority. In 1854, il gave
nearly 100 Democratic majority. We are stead

remarks that he reads it all with interest, ex
cept the stories-he would rather see something
else than them. Very likely; but he is toll
pointed without them. Let US be liberal to
one another. not bent upon restricting all to
one kind of diet.
As to our first page, We have a remark to
make. Are our lovers of radical discussion
aware that in the story called Herman" bv
f. Foxton, here has been for the last three
months, greater amount of thorough and
eloquent exposition and enforcement of Radi
cal Truth, than has appeared in any newspaper
among opr exchanges for the same space
of time-Truth, pure, all-comprehensive. un-
compromising? If not, let them gather IN
their files, and review. The labor Will renay
them hundred fold. Read Herman. no, as a
story, but, if you please, series of brilliant
essays.
For the last two or three weeks the author
has given US more action and less discussion.
