At last the republican party has

when il first entered the field, only
half organized, it struck blow which
oily Just failed to secure a complete
and triumphant victory. In this, its
second campaign, it has already won
advantages which render that triumph
now both easy and certain. The Sc
cret Of its assured success lies in the
very characteristic which, in the
mouths Of scof, r., constitutes its
great and la,tiok mbeciIity and re.

sentiments, and opinions, and princi-
pies Of freedom which hardly SO many
men, even in this free State, dared TO
utter in their own homes twenty years
ago. While the government OF the
United States, under the conduct OF
tho democratic party, has been all the

tie after another to slavery, the peo-
pie of the United States have been no
less steadily and perscveringly gath
eriOg together the forces with
which to recover back again all the
fields and al the castles which have
been lost, and to contound and over
throw, by one decisive blow, the be
trayers Of the Constitution and OF
freedom forever.
With this bold enumeration OF the
principles and objects Of the Repub-
lican party, by one who speaks ea
catAedra, how can it be maintained
that it does not propose to interfere
with Slavery in the States! But in
what light do those most interested,
the people of the Southern States
themselves, view this question Not

the days OF the old National Wing
party, in opposition to the Democratic
party, is there one of them which
could mo,c lie induced to cast its cleo

publican Convention. Not one. And
why! Simply because the Repubi-
can party Of to-day is a union Of q
portion Of the northern wing Of the
old Wing party and the Abolitionists
of the North. These Southern mem
bers Of this Union can easily discern,
indeed they are plainly told, that a
subvcrsion Of their institutions is the
idea," and the only idea, Of the Re-
pub lean party. They know well, that
the close union between the Adolf
tionists and Republicans of the North
has been brought about by treaty,
pledging "war to the knife and knife
to the hilt" against the system Of Sla-
very 10 the States. On the one hand
they have the following avowal Of
