PREVENTION of such party without further
delay. The late spontaneous popular mani.
festations in this city on behalf of Gen. Scot,
indicate the drift Of public opinion iu regard
to the principles and policy Of such party
The materials within reach Of an organization
| of this conservative national character are
abundant North and South. But they are un-
organized; and in default Of a broad national
| organization upon which they can be united
| in season for the work in 1860. the bulk Of
| these available materials for new party will
| be drawn of into one or the other of the two
rotten sectional factions of the day-the dis
union faction of our Northern nigger worship
pers. or the secession faction of the Southern
fire eaters.
There were nearly four millions of votes cast
in our last Presidential election, and that the
aggregate vote of 1860 will largely exceed four
millions there can be no reason to doubt
But putting down the popular vote ofthe Union
at four millions, and our total popu-
lation at thirty millions, and looking at the pre-
sent controlling position ofthe republican party
North, and Of the democratic party South, upon
this one idea of slavery, the question recurs,
how is new party to be organized, competent
in 1860 North and South, to control the ba-
lance of powers
We dare say that the working machinery of
the republican party is in the hands of less
than three thousand men, and that the mana
gers, directors, President and principle makers
of the democratic party hardly exceed two
thousand And have the four millions of
voters of the United States no way of escape
from these two despotic oligarchies of corrupt
and INSCRIPTIONS politicians? 1t is to these
reckless slavery agitating demagogues, North
and South, that we may justly charge all the
sectional discords and dangers that now SO seri-
ously afflict the country. 1t must also be at
last abundantly manifest to the most incredu-
lous reader, that unless something shall be done
to cut off and supersede these two rotten Sec
tional and disunion parties the next Presi-
dental election will most probably precipitate
our beautiful fabric Of popular government.
the constitution, the Union, the North and
South, from our present commanding position
Of unity, power, wealth, prosperity and happi-
ness, into something like the horrible anarchy
of Mexico
The Southern fre-eaters who manage the
Southern democracy have decreed that the
election Of black republican President in No
vember next will be the signal for the seces-
sion Of the Southern States from the Union. We
apprehend, on the other hand, that if the con-
test is limited to the demoralized democracy
and the anti-slavery republican party, it will
be an ''irrepressible" sectional conflict which
can only result in the election of the republi-
can candidate. Thus the fire-eaters will be nut
to the test, and, from all the existing evidences
of Southern alarm and excitement in favor of
disunion. it is folly to Suppose that when driven
to the wall they will surrender at discretion to
an aggressive anti-slavery Northern party in
the occupation Of the federal government.
To prevent this conflict of sectional parties
and this ultimatum of Southern secession, a
third party must arise and cut in between our
Northern negro-worshippers and Southern fire.
eaters, and take away from both the balance of
power. The Independent conservative people,
North and South, to the number of million of
voters and more, are ready at once to
join this third party. And the way to
bring them into line is to fight the enemy
with their own weapons. Against the despotic
managing committees, central juntas, caucuses
and conventions of the existing parties, ma
tional, State, county, town and city, we must
oppose universal network Of independent
conservative Union clubs, upon some such uni
versal platform as that embodied in the name
of Gen. Scott. And this work only needs be-
ginning to put it into general operation. We
thus attach no ordinary degree of importance
to the movement reported to be on foot in this
city for the organization Of an independent
Union club of our young men. Let our indie
pendent young men, Disguised with North
ern disunion nigger-worshippe and Southern
secession salamanders, act upon this idea, far
and near, and they will soon discover that they
can call up a Union party of immense power,
at the tap of the drum.
Meantime let the Independent, conservative
members of Congress, Northern and Southern.
consult together, and issue call for Ma
tional Convention, say in the city of New
York, in the last week of June or the first week
OF July, of all men, of all parties and sections,
in favor of new national party for the Presi-
dental contest and the country will feel at
once that the Union is secured, and that the
suppression Of this diabolical slavery agitation,
and the corrupt sectional politicians who sup
ply it with combustibles, is close at hand. As
matters now stand, our only way Of escape is
through the active Intervention Of third party
for the Presidency; but to be effective, this
party must be called up without further delay.
