They Mean Abolition.

That's what the Black Republicans mean
bv their creed, and that's what they are seek
ing to accomplish in their struggle for power.
Read what Frank P Blair, one of their repre-
sentative men, says:
IT WOULD BE VAIN TO SAT- THAT THE Re-
PUBLICAN PARTY DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE ANY
INTERFERENCE WITH SLAVERY IN THE STATES.
or to deny even the power to interfere on the
part of any except the citizens Of the slave
States themselves; for every argument used
to protect the Territories from slavery is an
argument against its existence anywhere, and
tends by its moral power TO UpRoor IT wHEe-
EVER IT EXISTS. We should be prepared
then, to proclaim to the country what we pro-
pose to do with the liberated slaves.
And further: What says Wentworth's Chi
cago Democrat, the home organ of Lincoln?
The following extracts, exhibiting the anmus
and foreshadowing the objects of the Black
Republican party, are culled from late num-
Der of that paper. 1t declares:
We vote not for Lincoln and Hamlin but for
Liberty. Mr.. Lincoln hates slavery, and so
does Hamtin So do '0e. For there is but one
question before the people, and that is the
question between Liberty and S2aUery We
go for Liberty, and nothing else; and Liberty
will triumph at the polls.
So we have been speaking out very plainly
about the outrages of the slave power, the in
famous provisions of the fugitive slave law, and
more especially the black laws of our State.
We have had some fire-eaters in the cause Of
human liberty upon our editorial staff, who
have not de med it best to let the cause of
bleeding liberty suffer in our absence. We
have claimed that slavery should not be inter-
fered with in the States; but that it should be
henaned an by prohibition 1cheneuey Tie Cossti-
tuition gfUes as the po,cer to prohibit it, as an
cfectuat mems of ntaktng the Suites all free.
We hare demonstrated, be3ossd all controyersu
that htis policy 'oouid make the States all free
Thank God, We stand with millions in the
advocacy of the constitutional eDaancipqtion of
an oppressed rdcei Let the corrupt and timid
howl and growl. Who cares? We have our
duty to the cause Of human liberty, and shall
do it.
Now, if we are an abolitionist, there are a
great many men an tie Republican ranks more
radical than are are Take Helpers Book. for
instance. There are some things in that we
cannot endorse, although there are a great
many men who are just as good Republicans
as we are, who have endorsed the whole work.
