TO MY READERS.

1t is my purpose to leave this week for Eu
rope. | go from necessity, not choice; in quest
Of health, seeking restoration to those activities
and energies, without which it would seem
better that man should die. Nothing but a
sense Of duty could constrain me to retire from
the field of labor at such moment as this.
The Era will be well cared for during my alb
senee. 1t will continue to be what it has been,
the stanch supporter of the Republican move
ment, as defined and proclaimed by the Phila-
delphia Convention of 1856, and the uncom-
promising opponent of every scheme intended
OF calculated to demoralize the Republican
Party, or dilute its Principles. To my friends
do l commend its interests, invoking them to
exert themselves for its support and the ex-
tension Of It's circulation.
Ny wanderngs will take me to the theatre
of the great events now transpiring in Europe
and l shall have an opportunity of closely ex-
aiming movements which would seem to
herald fundamental changes of geographical
divisions and political powers in the Old World.
Should l recover strength enough, | shall take
pleasure in communicating to the readers OF
the Era whatever may seem to be of sufficient
interest

When Southern crowd of this stamp and
calibre, with simply the amount of conscience,
honor, and sanity, which such assemblages aS
this usually boasts, finds itself demolished In
this wise, with the words of soberness and truth
its usual resource is to offer either to lynch or
fight the speaker. 1t is not half so fond Of
mathematical demonstrations as Mr.. Boyee
would have us imagine. Happily this avenue
of escape even Mr.. Foote carefully blocked up.
The charge of treason, ribaldry, and folly, was
not to be met by an offer to commit murder
!. for said the old gentleman, Il speak for the
country, and l take all the responsibility OF
what l say, and will meet the whole band of
Southern chivalry at the swords point, or pis-
tolls mouth, or anywhere IA In cases of this
sort, the chivalry does not often vindicate it
self in its favorite fashion. AS long as there
is lurking suspicion of speakers RESPONSE
bility,' as the slang hath it, he is apt to be
shouted down. His point made clear, he has
fair field, at least if no favor Mr.. Foote
continued

This is just indictment against the On IN
Democracy; but now for the sequel. ae
says:
political agitation can do them nc hing
but harm. They are under the sacred sd
ianship of a tribunal instituted for the defence
of constitutional rights-a tribunal which no
political agitation can reach. That tribunal,
in the serene and undisturbed exercise of its
lofty functions, has covered them with the pan
oply of the national Justice. On each success
siee question inoOlcing the rights of the SoutAsYp
States, as they hare arisen upon the constittai NJ
al obligations and ualidity Of the .fIsitire -;
upon the right to transfer from one State to- Tn
other, free from the control achich had been
claimed under the poiOer Of regulating conaDae, ce
among the States; upon the limits of Congr s.
Siondl poa0er aoith regard to the common Tern D.

surrounded the rights and Institutions Of ,e
South, tn the only points in tohich they x
ecer been supposed TO be open to inrdsiOn, Z

II will be seen that the venerable and learn d
Conservative fully endorses, not merely tie
fugitive slave law, but the bred Scott dee s.

wickednessl

when the African slave trade shall have ,sn
practically revived, the Conservatives" IN

be as much averse so its suppression, as |. Sy
now are to its revival.
