Mr. W went on to warn disunionIss Of the
South Of the consequences Of the actions they so
rashly advise. and then proceeded to briefly emu
meraie the principles Of The republican party viz
Non interference with slavery In the States, bot
opposition TO is extension over the Territories;
more efficient law for the prevention Of the Afri-
can slave trade; the admission Of Kansas with the
present constitution; protective revenue Law;
reduction OF tue expenses OF the General Govern
Inent; 70 provide hOmesteads for actual settlers on
the public lands; the Improvement Of rivers and
harbOTs, where the national interest requires IL;
and the construction of a railroad to the Pacific
Aud though the Chicago Convention did not
deem IL proper b say they Were in favor Of Z" the
Union, the Constitution and the Enforcement Of
the Laws, yet time would prove the party would
be true to them. ~.
