The "Examincr'' In Labor.
Our neighbor Of the EzaaHer is in labor aud no mis-
take IL terrified itself and is trying terrify the
whole country by reproduction OF extracts from the
speeches of prominent Black Republican leaders which
show il alleges that the Black Republicans as pdriy
never intend until they have ex,ermnated sla.
very from all the Southern States Now as dstastcfal
of the principles and proposed objects of the
Republican organization us, have never seen
any evidence in support Of the Examiners charge that
it cditates Interference with slavery in the States
That Of the Abolition leaders wish and prophesy
evil things the South, and would contribute all in their
feeble power TO extrpae slavery at the hazard
of stirring up general instruction the part of the
slaves and general the part of their
tcrs, we have disposition to deny For the inssne
teachings and efforts OF such fanatics GipDNGs GAR
RsoN, aud the like, have always looked and still look to
such result But these teachings aud efforts prevailed
with equal universally and violence long before the
gauzaton of the Republican party dreamed or
N every schooby in the land well knows. These fana
les are not a whit rabd and ferocious now than
they have always been Indeed incline to the belief
that the rage of their fanaticsm has sensibly sub
sided in consequence OF the neglect and contempt which
their idle rawlings have with the hands of the pco
pie in both sections of the Union.
so far, however the Republican party a distinct
political Organization is concerned there no evidence
existing OF any intention its part the Examiner al
legos employ any and all extirpate slave
from the Southern States whether by the bayonet OF
foreign enemies by the torch and knife of the rebel
ous negro" We repeat that such purpose has ever
been signifed by the Republican party, and no such
threat ever made do believe that any such pur-
pose has been will be- entertained by it, or
that any such silly threat towards the South will
cape lips. The only purpose and object of that par.
~ far have been able ascertain effect
the exclusion OF slavery from the Territore,; and in
that purpose and object has the sympathy and aid of
the whole Democratic party at the North. The Repub
Hcans and Northern Democrats may insist upon the en-
povmeut Of different accomplish the same end;
but cr end Is the same, and they differ only as to the
means be used for attaining IT, The exclusion of sa
very from the Territories being the only object aimed
by the Republicans party organization and that
object having already been efecuay secured through
the instrumentaty of Democratic Administration and
OF Democratic policy the occupation of the Republican
party gone and II is practically dsbanded far as s
organization had any reference the subject of slavery
We suppose that SEwAED viii be admitted even by the
HrIEu'sr, 10 be able and reckless any of the
Kapuhicin leaders. If mistake not, the ErdlniDsr
las Often charged that he is the head and front that
psHy-ils representative man, and the embodiment Of
principles and designs. Il often quotes from his Ro-
chester speech show the Southern people what they
may expect in the Of triumph of the RepubEcl!,
party tL- Presidential election. 1t harps upou
the repgesi5lc conflict hunbug of that arch-agi taor
with great satisfaction and gusto But we defy il 10
point single sentence Inc of that demagogica
and aschicvous harangue which susans its assumption
that the Republicans, party propose any intcrfcrcrc,
with slavery in the southern States Ga the contrary
that very harangue of SEWARD disapproves and rcpu
any such idea. After declaring in that speech that
Slavery aud Freedom antagonistical ns uions and
in his opinion cannot long exist side by side in the
Government and asserting his Ble also that Slavery
would ultimately be compelled 10 give way to Freedom
he added" Much desire such 4 result neither ex-
Pect hope ior ereepi through tie action Of The yso.
y. of the Stare States, md in conformify ,rih Heir,r
sD.cfi-s Consultations" Now, SEWARD, in our judg.
ment, IS bold, bad man-near about bold and bad
as STrruES A. DoUGIAs, whom the Examiner is willing
10 support cordially the Presidcncy-but he has new
err, knowledge intmaed any purpose wish that
the action Of the General Government should be brought
in any manner to bear upon slavery in the States where
IL exists. He desires, all Northern men do and a.
many Southern have dore and perhaps do still TO
slavery abolished in the States, through the instru-
mentality of the people of those States themselves But
he the ground that neither Congress nor the peo
pie Of the North have anything do with the question
that is unconstitutional for either interfere in the
m,tter-and that it only be lawfully and peaceaby
accomplished by the action Of the Southern States them
sclves
In thus explaining the position of SEWARD who is r..
coguizcd by the whole country the ablcst and mos,
influential of the Republican leaders have been ac-
tua,ed only by desire prevent the Southern people
from taking needless alarm necessary consequence Of
their believing the of the Eyainer that the Re.
pubcans "avow that they will employ any and a means
cxtrpate slavery from the Southern States whether
by the bayouct Of foreign enemies by the torch aud
knife at the rebeous negro" We say that the Repub.
hcan party as SUCH have avowcd no such purpose and
no such wish All its leaders aud presses with scarcely
AN exception openly proclaim that they entertain no dc.
signs against slavery in the States And a. matter Of
policy, say nothing Of the justice Of the natter VIC
