speech on Kansas lat Osawatamie, May 1s,)
lirfexhich he lays down tie following views as
70 candidates, and tue views of the Republican
party: ~
sBht Whit Of the Union of the Opposition I
am asked; shall We refuse to unite on equal
terms with other oppoheRts of the Natioual|
Democracy to drive that foul party from power
Most certainly, we will unite)as proposed; am
most willing and even ANXIOUS to do So but
| If there is to be such union, it must be an al.
lance, not iumble-not q melting Of existing,
parties to form an entirely new and distinct
party II there IS to be union, the Republicans
will go into it as Repu6licans@not asking par
don for VShatSwe have been and promising for
the future to be something else join bat
tie with the common adversary under our own
proud banner, under which VIC have already
marched to victory in nearly every Free State OF
L this Confe0eracy. No new watchwords, no
strange devices, will serve our turn. Our car
diual principle of Slavery Res friction we cannot,
uiustSnot surrender; we hsk onr'allies to surreni
der none ofltheirs.notl in conflict with this
| FIVE concede candidates, We do not thereby
abandon our principles, but do our best to ad
vance them. For instance, l, as one ltepnblt'
can, speaking for. myself and disclaiming any
authority to speak for others, shonld be entirely
willingtO see the Opposition candidate for PTeSt-
dent chosen from the ranks of the other wing,
proridcLi it should be distinctly understood that
| the power thus conferred mainly by Republican
votes would be welded not to defeat butte Sc
cure the cardinal objects Of our movement our
organization. If this is refused, then no union,
save on Republican for President, is possible.
The party will speak for itself, Mt the proper
time, and through its chosen delegates but
shall tie willing and ready to support such man
as John Bell or John NJ. Bolts or (better still)
Edward Bates, for next President, upon dis.
tinct and open understanding that he WELD the
power with which he may thus be entrusted not
extend and fOrtify Slavery, but to limit and re-
strict it to the States whereby it is still cherish
ed Except on this basis, no union any but a
Repu bican for next President is possible or
could be rendered effective. .,.... 49,

.sWe have Just finished with another case
showing how much Justice there is to be had
from the Turks. The law of the Tanzimat takes
away the power Of the bastinado from the local
| Governors. The Governor Of Cana, near Tyre,
makes a demand for money from tie PrOtcStahts
of that place. after having given them receipt
in full for attaXes and duties for the current
year. Upon their asking to know upon what
grounds the demand was made, he replied.by
ordering them all to be beaten. Four were
caught; the rest fled. The four who were caught
were most cruelty Inauled and pounded in his
presence Upon their complaining to the Mu-
shir Court mt Beyrout the Governor is called;
his own servants are aliowedto testify against
the ProtcstantS; though they contradict them
selves and each other in their statements, their
testimony is received; the man conteSseat to haY-
ing ordered the beating, and instead of redress,
one of the ProteStantS is thrown into prison,
and the Governor goes about his business, hav-
ing hribed the whole set OF officials to shut their
eyes to one OF the paineSt cases that ever came
before tribunal. While these poor men were
here, a Papal Greek in their village entors orc
of their houses, picks quarrel with the wife
and then kicks her IN the side, so as to cause
abortion in n few hours. No one is present
but women, and!no satisfaction can be had, be
cause ForSnoth, the testimony Of women cannot
be received in those Turkish courts. The case
Of the JaifI outrage still rernains unadjusted

still at large shall have been caught, and have
his trial."
