Young mcm. 70 the Trcscnc.

Much depends upon the action ofyoung
men in this campaign. II is for them to
say whether the principles of the Repub-
lican party, shall prevail, or whether the
niinoua and corrupt policy, that has char.
acterized the administration for tho last
eight years, shall be continued-whoth-
or this government shall become slav-
cry propOguting government solely or
government for the protection and main
tenOnce Of freedom, and whether our yir-
gin territories, tho rightful heritage of
ireemen, shall have slavery inexorably
fastened upon them by Congress or the
Supreme Court, or whether they shall
be made the homes Of free, laborlng men
where the young men Of tho country can
60 and build up for themselves fortunes.
without the disgrace of being compelled
to work by the side Of a human "chat-
tel"
These arc the issues that govern in
this campaign and II becomes every young
man to decide on which side he will be
found fghting-whother on the side Of
freedom or slavery. The Republican
party is pledged to maintain freedom in
The territories and to keep the blight of
slavery from polluting their soil. II is
in favor Of homestead bill and the pro-
lection Of home industry, These are the
great, fundamental principles fthe Re-
publican organization and to them our
candidates are pledged, The democrat
ic party has shown itself opposed TO all
these things. In respect to slavery in
tho territories, there Is little difference
between Breckenridge and Douglas
They both affirm that slaves can be car
red into all the territories, under hs
Constitution, aud DO held there the same
as other propertyi and, while the one
would fOsten It there by a Congressional
S'avs-eOSe, which may be changed, the
other would rivsi IL by a decision Of the
Supreme Court, which may not be chang

is any difference between the two doc

Court an engine OF despotism over Con-
