Every topic is discussed with reference
TO its bearings on the subject of slavery.
And yet the Democrats, with an impu
dcnce that challenges our admiration for
its sublimity, turn to Us, aud say, "Do
not agitste this subject" Do not keep
up this sectional strife! To sgitste, to
lcgislate, to make treaties. to annex ter
ritory, to purchase empires. for slavery,
| is oil right, but TO do anything against
slavery is wrong and sectional.
And here is another phase of this fa-
nstical spirit, which has taken its dwell
ling place in the Democratic party. 1t
identifies slavery with the nation, aud
especially with the South.
/ Now, | am Yeckoned as ultra aud ex-
tremc ~ most on this subject, and yet,
no one has ever heard me say anything
against the South. It il only against
slavery that l have spoken, and propose

ticnal, aud Republicans are sectional --
When they only seek to prevent the ex-
tension Of system which is under the
ban Of the civilized world, they are
charged with being sectional. In Hi
nois, We have supped full Of this horror
And what is the proof' ., We have no
delegates from slave States TO attend our
National Nominating Conventions. Why
have we none? Mark because if dele.
gates attend those conventions they are
mobbed and dri.en into exile. What if
we, in the free States, should say TO the
Democrats, "lf you a,te'd the Charles
ton Convention, we will hang yoi," and
thus keep them all at home, and then re-
prosch them with being a sectional par
ty, becsuse only the slave States were
represented "Well, you have no votes
10 the slave States; your principles do
not circulate with us at all you dare not
even proclaim your doctrine. among u.s.
And why do not our principles circulate
in the slave States? They used to. for
they are the principles of Washington,
and Franklin, and other fosnders Of the
Republic. The reason why our princi-
piles do not circulate in the slave States
is, that this despotism has, like another
Napoleon, crushed out the freedom Of
speech and tie press. Allow US free ac-
cess to the minds Of the non Shareholders
Of the South, and in one year We would
have more Republican votes in proper
ton, in the slave States, than there are
Democratic votes in the tree States ---
