and aims
Although some of tle exciting incidents
of the election of 1856 have been partial
| ly disposed of by the energy, enterprise
and valor of free people. the duty of Re-
publicans to adhere to their pri inciples, as
enunciateI at Philadelphia, and to labor
for their establishments, was never more
pressing than at this moment. The atti-
tude of the slave power is persistently In
solent and aggressive. 1t demands of the
country much more than it has demanded
hitherto. 1t is not content with the abSo-
lutte control of the National Government;
not content with the dispensation of the
honors and emoluments of the National
Administration; not content with its well
known inauence-always pernicious over
the legislation at the National Capital
but it demands fresh concessions from a
/ free people, for the purpose of extending
and Strengthening an institution, local in
its character, the creature of State legis-
lation, which the Federal Government is
not authorized to establish or extend by
any grant of delegated powers 1t de-
mands by an unauthorized assumption of
/ power, after having, as occasion required,
adopted and rcpudiatcd all the crude the
orics for the extension of slavery, of the
ambitious politicians who sought its favor,
the establishment and protection of slave
ry in the Territories by act of Congress,
and the revival of the African slave
trade.
/ Upon no organization except that of the
Republican party can the country rely for
successful resistance to these monstrous
propositions, and for the correction of the
gross abuses which have characterized the
present National Administration. 1t is
the duty, then of all patriotic men, who
wish for the establishment of republican
principles and measures in the admins
tration Of the National Government, to aid
in pcrfecting and strengthing this organi-
zation for the coming struggle. There is
much to be done involving earnest labor
and the expenditure of time and money;
there should be
First-A thorough understanding and
interchange of sentiments and views be-
tween the Republicans of every section of
the country.
Sccond-An effective organization Of
the Republican voters of each State, coun-
ty and town, so that our party may know
its strength and its deficiencies, its power
and it, needs, before We engage in the
Presidential struggle.
| Third-The circulation of well consid-
cred documents making clear the position
of the Republican party, and exposing the
dangerous character of the principles and
policy of the Administration.
Fourth-Public addresses in localities
where they arc desired AID needed, by able
champions of the Republican cause.
Fifth-A large and general increase o.
the circulation of Republican Journal:
throughout the country.
To give practical effect to these suggest
ions, an adequate amount of money will tt
required, for the legal and faithful expen
diture of which the undersigned will hold
themselves responsible. The vast patron
age of the Federal Government will BE-
welded against us, to which We can op
pose nothing but earnest and efficient deyo
ton to the Republican cause, and the vol
untary pecuniary offerings of our Republi
can friends.
In conclusion, the undersigned may bc
permitted to express their opinion that th'
signs of the times are auspicious for th'
Republican party, and that in their judge
: ment discreet and patriotic action through
out the confedcracy, promises to secure ;
Republican victory in 1860. Unwilling
: however, to encourage hopes which may b
, disappointed, and to place their appeal fol
aid and cooperation upon the assurance O
success in the contest that is approaching
the undersigned are constrained to say that
they rely most confidently upon the patri.
otism and zeal of their Republican breth
rem for such aid and cooperation; mean
while we have the honor to be very res
pectfully, your obedient servants,
