will not coalesce with the Southern Opposition on :;
any other terms than that hostility slavery and
its extension shall form the fundamental article in s.
the creed Of the allied opposition. While we doubt =
less have some men among US whose hatred Of de- G
mocracy is such that they would be willing to unite
with the Republicans, upon such terms as that par
~ might prescribe for the defeat of their opponents
vet we cannot believe that the number of tins class
is large enough to make their alliance OF conse-
quence to the Republicans. The Opposition SCUM
should understand the position Of the Opposition /
North The latter has no idea whatever OF aban-
doning It's war upon slavery 1t abandons every
thing when it abandons that: and while 1t hopes TO
elect a President by consolidating the North on an
antislavery issue, it could have no hope II II waiy
ed this issue for it has other issue to present to
the voters of that section
Such being the state Of things, we now see in the
leading antislayery papers of the North appeals to
the Opposition Of the South to join them on the Re
publican idea Of ~eonining slavery to its present
limits They are encouraged to make this argu-
mept bv the election of ErHERDGE, of Tennessee
and the views which JOIN BELL is understood to
hold
We make few extracts from late number OF
the Republic. an anti-glayery organ published at
Washington illustrative of the purpose OF that par
