IT. then, we are not essentially at variance on this
point, we insist that no insurmountabe barrier
exists TO prevent the "fusion' We desire. We
believe that Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri,
with possibly Kentucky Tennessee and North
Carolina, may be carried in 1860 for National
ticket which shall be frankly but nofensively hos

few words A. to men:
As We desire the open and hearty cooperation Of
conservative Wings to help US elect Republican
President, should such BE- nominated, We do not
begin by notifying those Wings that we viii not
support nor vote for one Of their number, should
one be put forward as the Opposition candidate
1t seems to US consistent neither with good policy,
good manners, nor even good faith. to do so. Most
certainly, we should prefer an original RepubI-
cau--Goy. Seward or Gov. Chase. for instance
but We shall heartily and zealously support one
Ike John Bel, Edward Bates or John NJ. Bolts,
provided We are well assured that his influence,
bis patronage, his power, if chosen President will
be used not TO extend Slavery, but to coufnc It
within tie States that see fit 10 uphold it, And
when we say this, We ask those who insist that
the Slavery issue ia subordinate, aud that
questions concerning the Tariff, Internal I'm

urging that distinctive Republican should BE-
selected as the Opposition sandard-bearer in 1860:
We are only showing that, if a Republican should be
so nominated, you are bound by your own princi-
pies to sustain him. If the Republicans are good
enough to vote for candidate Of your own stamp,
they are good enough to be voted for BY those of
your way Of thinking. Why not 7
As to our valiant Republican brethren, who keep
reiterating that they will never support any but
distinctive original Republican, and that the Plat
form of 1856 must be reafirmed rsrtdtim in 1860,
we simply say, 1t is not wise 10 deal in rash prom
ises, rash threats, nor rash prophecies. You will
doubtless do what is best in 1860 whatever you
may think or say now; and it is not wise 10 utter
Lot words which may return TO plague you here
after. If an original Republican shall be our can
ddate in 1860, you will want our Conservatives to
forget that you ever threatened to oppose one of

no, be Republican of So you will want to forget
those threats yourselves
We say, them to the exclusives on either hand,

OppositiOn-a victory over which both Republicans
and Conservatives will have ample reason to re-

strife about names. When Speech tends to irritate
and distract, unspeakable is the wisdom of Silence
