considerable way 10 giving complexion to the poll

The great majority Of Republicans repudiste the
sayings of the ultras that are quoted against them,
and very few, in defining their policy, go farther
than to declare themselves for the restriction of
slavery within it's present limits and very mary
would be willing to the controversy settled up
on the basis OF non-interference by any branch Of
the Fede'al Government, with the question Of sla-
very. The power Of the Government has been
used for the propagandsm of slavery. That must
be stoppo1. This d tho universal Republican SEN
timent and its calm, rational and firm expression
on this subject has done than any thing else
to break the force Of the Abolition sentiment. The
old Abolition party is di5bahded. A few of its
adhorents found in tho Republican party, la

way into the Democratic factions, and have be-

of those who were unreasonable on this subject
have had their right minds restored. The Atol-

the remainder biscuit Of it naturally and justly
regards the Republican organization as the most
formidable obstacle in the way of its restoration

The Republican party lie, to all appearance, on
the Threshold of national success. The very
important question arises, as to what will be the
nature Of its Administration Of the Governments,

the peace Of the slave States and it would be its

ought to know. that even an Abohtionist in the
Presidential chair would not have power to inter

Presidential candidates in tho field. The Repub-

votes cast in the ballot bozes--and perhaps more

sufficient in itself TO veto any measure Of ipcendia-

him. There has never yet been clearr Republ-
can ajority in the House. And if there should

members who would discountenance any appear

1t is very certain that an active intermeddling

country. The first elections in which the acts Of
an administration taking such course would
come under popular reView, would commence the
utter discontinue and dissolution of the admini

There is a cry against slavery agitation. and
