Gov Seward has proclaimed 81 " irrepre.siDe
conflict" between tie North aud tie South
though b. sland.rers vel know that he never ~
tered sJll,ble Of this. Whist be did afhrm WA
an irrepressible conflict between Freedom and
Sl.very-a conhic. implied il the mere words
Freedom ard Slavery conflict which our coun-
try's recent history proclaim' on every page Every
political contest in Tex.s or California is affected
or governed by tie Slave question, AID must be,
Until i. shall have been .et,Ied th,. Freedom Is
national, Slavery sectional, or the reverse SO long
a. Slavery sits enthrcned st Washington, sending
EmSsssadors to Brazil 10 tell her startled Emperor
that Slavery forms bond Of special harmony be-
tween bis county and ours-so long IS Territories
may BE- drssoored as Kansas wn, or cajoled, as
New Mexico has since been, to reduce her under
be dominion of Ssvery-so long SIS the ayowed
chief erd of the Federal Administration shall be
he Wrestling by fair or foul means Of Cuba from
Spain, with the pslpsble intent Of adding - the
strer 9Th ard security of Slavery among us-so long
shall have everything or nothing. But 50 far from
wsrriug on the Soa,b, tie Republicans war oaly
on the cancer which is eating out the life Of the
Sou,h-vhich il holding her far behind 10 the
march Of industrial and social progress. We war
Lot upon but for the South in insisting, with her
departed heroes and statesmen, that Labor shouts
be recompen.ed and enftsnchised, and Nan be
everywhere Free.
In spite Of the desfeniug vOcferatiOns OF nearly
all our Citys journals the truth that the Republican
is the more Conservative party daily gains ground
We are conservative not of darkness, but of lighs;
not Of wrong, but of right; not Of mOssgroTn
abuses, but of everlasting truths We are con-
serya,i7e of Liberty, Justice, Peace and Union.
TIE triumph of our principles viii be the kneli of
Flhbu.teri.n, official or private. 1t will silen'e
the horse.leeeh cry for e1pansiou-anneIston'--
more territory-and make our negbbors once more
our confdipg friends II will insure quiet at home,
and peace with al the world.
Republicans Of the City your brethren through
out the State have not been unmindful of your
struggles and your discOuragements. They have
been not upgrsteful observers Of your efforts and
sacrifices They chose from your ranks our preI-
ent able and efficient Governor. They listened to
your prayers for protection against frauds st tae
bslot-box and gave US capital Registry Law.
That law, fsirly administered, will diminishby at
les.t Five Thousand per annum the fraudulent
votes usually added to the legal msjority against
you. Its protection was scarcely needed in tue
rural districts, save as it prevented their voice
from being oyerwf elmed and swsmped by iileSh
votes polled in the cities. That law, honestly
obeyed would have saved you from much labor aud
many grieyOus wrongs
Faction and treschery have deprived you tempo
rariy of much of the benefit of that law. Your
election districts have been cut and carved 60 as TO
confuse and efsce their ancient boundaries and put
everything into confusion. Then the entire body
of Registrars have been seized BY the Tammsny
consprators and turned against you to the utmost.
The men appointed TO execute this most righteous
law are chosen exclusively from among those who
hate H. who defame il, and who mean to subyert il.
Unless you are extremely and 2erss.ently vigilant,
there ill be frauds enacted here which will go TAR
TO neutraze and perhaps oyerwhelm the Republi-
can majority in the State.

spirators, and you must Begin the work to-day
The Registration of Legal Voters is just upon
us-s to be made within ten days. How are you
prepared for that most important work
There should be meetings Of each Ward Repub-
Ecan Club almost quite every evening henceforth
until the Registry is completed.
There should be an Election District Committee
& r 81 Ela,tion niatricfs
wherever that is possible.
That Committee should proceed at once-within
c week at sll eyents-to make out the fullest pos
be list of the Legal Voters in such District, taking
the utmost care to in.eribe the Of citizens of
all parties and Of none so far those names eau be
obtained.
There should also be lists made out Of the adult
male residents of each district not entitled TO vote.
These Lists being perfected before the day OF
Registration, an efficient Committee of two or
more persons should be chosen TO attend the Reg
straton throughout, relieving each other 90 as
never 10 leave the place for an hour. And let the
Ward Clubs continue to hold sessions, enroll men,
bers, and collect the names of legal voters Of all
parties to be proposed for.registration. Let no
effort be relaxed until every legal voter in your
district is enrolled aud none beside
Republicans of the city: you can do very much
to counterfeit the intention and natural effect of
tie PurdJ Bell outrage if you work with will
You can elect Republican Mayor this Fall, and
give Republican President Thirty Thousand
Votes in 60, if you resolutey try. Resolve this
