Opinion that the Republican party was organized
upon false pretences: and that it was impOteut to
contend against the united Democracy:' - that the
cause Of slavery was gaining as Ea1l in the North
as in the South and that under the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, the power
OF the Republicans as antislavery party was

And, sifs men IN private station, with duties and
occupations requiring their constant attention at

or the ilrst time u the history of the nation are
to be found travelling from Dan to Beersheba Ia
court the conflict Of the hustings and to catch the
dust of the arena.
