While they do not in all respects accord
with our own convictions, we hail them as
embodying the soundest, the clearcst, the
most forcible expressions yet put forth of
the genuine Conservative sentiments of our
country. Mr. Bates in politics belongs to
the school Of Henry Clay, of whom he was
while in public life thirty odd years ago, and
has remained ever since, an ardent admirer
and disciple. Years ago, from deliberate
conviction that Slavery was economically a
blunder aud morally wrong, he quietly
emancipated his own slaves and provided
for their removal TO a land wherein they
could enjoy civil equality and political free
dom. His views Oh the whole subject of
Slavery, its extension, the rendition Of fugi-
tiveS, &c, are substantially those steadily
cherished and repeatedly avowed by George
Washington aud his ilustrious compatriots
Mr.. Bates differing from the Father Of
his Country only in giving effect during bis
life to conviction Of the justice and humani-
ty o. emancipation on which Gen, Washing
ton acted at his death.
We rejoice especially over the publica-
ton of this statement Of Mr.. Bates views,
because it tends strongly to expose and re-
buke the falseness of that claim to Conserv-
atism which is constantly put forth by Tile
Journal of Commerce, Nel0 York Obserrer,
Harper'S Weekly, and other organs Of that
political faith which finds its most reliable
and wholesale support among the grogshops
of cherry street and the low denS Of de-
bauchery at the Five Points and Oh the
Hook. To be Conservative, according TO
the habitual assumption of these oracles, is
to acQuiesce in the Extension of Slavery into
the Territories of the Union, to sustain
with regard to Cuba the piratical doctrines
Of Buchanan and Soule'S OStend Manifesto
and to openly commend or less honestly
connive at every movement or plot which
has for its object the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of the
Slave Power. That this is not genuine
Conservatism, but policy perilous to the
peace and the integrity of the Union, is well
known to be our conviction; but there are
thousands who viii cot heed our representa-
tious in the premises who will listen to and
be moved by those Of such men as Edward
Bates. We trust, therefore, that efforts
will be made to place this exposition in the
hands of every voters who eau read whether
in the Free or the Slave States. We are
sure it will do more 10 remove false impress
sions and correct gross misrepresentation
with regard to the views and aims cherish
ed by the Republican party, than any other
paper ever yet given to the public.
While on this subject, we also quote the opin-
ion of the Springfield Republican, to show the
leadings of the times The Missouri friends Of
Mr.. Bate 's'nomination for the presidency have
seen the necessity, as we supposed they would,
of amore explicit avowal of his opinions on
the various phases of the great question of our
national politics. They have found, and he has
found, that this is a subject that cannot be zig
norod" so readily as lie seemed to think when
lie wrote his letter last summer to the old wings
of New York. Accordingly the St. Louis
News, which several months ago nominated Mr.
Bates for the presidency, makes a formal and
argumeutative statement of his views, first on
slavery in the abstract and then as il presents
itself in our politics. 1t appears as an edtor-
al article, but bears abundant marks not only
of authenticity and approval by Mr.. Bates, but
of being from his own hand. The statement
sustains TO the fullest extent all that has beer
claimed for Mr.. Bates as an anti-savcry man
bearing out most explicitly the account giveI
OF his views several months ago in letter from
