Seward, or any man living Id the East, been
nominated for PrssideHt CSssiis would certain

ployed by the Republican party to stump for
them in Illinois, and other States. He is one
Of the foremost and head men of the Republi-
can party. He made speech for Lincoln and
Hamlin in Cincinnati. few nights since. He
also recently spoke at Tifiin, Ohio. The whole
Republican party endorse this man Cassus NJ.
Clay, and his principles. lie has long been
known as leading and prominent Abolition
ist. At Tiffn he gave utterance to his senti-
ments on the negro question, thus:
"They the Democrats tell you we are for
liberating the blacks--for setting the negroes
free. so WE ARE! We believe, as do you,
that in 1776 all then were created free and
equal endowed with certain inalIennble rights
They fiedat Just What they said,
and they repeatedly spoke OF nsSf5es 4s if1en,
and as persons. THEY MEANT THE Me-
GROES WERE EQUAL WITH THE
WHITE MANP'
That is the real sentiment, the true doctrine
of the Republican party. These are the real
sentiments of Abraham Lincoln and Hanniba
Hamlin. Mr.. Clay says it is true, that the
Republican party are laboring to set the ne
groes free. Lincoln admits that, and says an
'irrepressble conflict" is now going on to ac-
compTish this obiect--to abolish slavery every
where. It was attempted at Harper's Ferry
by John Brown, under the auspices Of leading
Republicans. 1t is now being attempted in
Texas, where the telegraph informs us, there
are tago thousand Abolitionists actively at work
melting insurrcction among the slaves This
is the mode by which slavery is to be abolished
by sending emssarles into the South to in
cite insurrection ard to encourage the slaves to
rise spontaneously and murder their masters
and their families end all the white people who
oppose them This ii the legitimate working
of "honest Abes" "irrepressible conflict
This Is the mode and manner of carrying out
Cassius NJ. CIay's idea of liberating the slaves
He says, emphatically, that it is the design o
the Republican party to "set the negroes free. u
Abraham Lincoln says they will be set free, II
at all, by "irrepressible confct"--by insurrec-
ton, by contest at arms, by an internal war.
THIS war, Lincoln thiuk will soon come,
which is to decide whether all the States Of this
Union will be free or all slave. And his elec
ton to the Presidency will bring on this war
speedy-lt will hasten the day when the whole
South will be lit up by the incendiary's torch
and the slaves armed with British bayonets,
will 60 forth to the bloody wcrk.
Those, therefore, who desire all this to be
brought about-who desire to see the day when
the whole country will be enveloped in one
blaze of civil war, will Of course vote for Lincoln
and Hamlin, and for the "irrepressibe conflict
to be fastened upon the country. Their cleo
ton will surely hasten these dreadful scenes
as the working out of the "irrepressbe con-
flict" problem believed in and held by Abra-
ham Lincoln and the leaders of the Republican
party Clermont Sum-
