| We propose. to give as fully as our limits
will allow. the sentiments and policy Of the
lerding Republicans now supporting Abrshan
Lincoln for the Presidency. We chxrgs upon
these men, systematic effort to excite the hos
tility Of the North towards the South, to III
flame the citizens of beth to mutual hatred and
variance, by the most calling and offensive ianz
gusge they can employ in reference to the South;
and then, by crettihg feeling Incompatible
with the Union, to bring about its flnal o1er-
throw. We charge upon them teckless dis
regard Of the Constitution, studied contempt
for the judicial Tribunals, and the utterancs OF
dogmas which are calculated to ihcits insufs
rection among the slaves, and to result in all
the horrors Of q servile war. We charge ub6n
them the tFell-known fact that these teachings
and this agitation begun for the basest pur-
poses, have. already realized at Hafper's Ferry
a successful result in the murder of peaceful and
ttnoffending citizens; and that this midnight
massacre Of Shareholders, and attempted ssrvils
revolt, so far from exciting adherence and con-
demnatioh from this party, has ELECTED warm
sympathy for the guilty actors, who wers ses
lected to give rractioSi illustration Of their
docttihes.
We ask you fellow citizens, il this work is
to be permitted to go on? We urge you to
| read carefully the extracts which we annex,
showing the aims and designs Of the leading Re-
ptblitahs, and to consider whether such party
of sectional hats and Intolerance fiay be per-
mitted with safety to cohtrol our institutions,
or to be allowed to grasp the reius Of govern
ment of otr Federal Union.

and would have been nominated but for the pri-
vate malice Of Greeley. At Cleveland, in ls48
he SAID
"Slavery can be limited to its present bounds;
it can be ameliorated. IT CAN BE- AND IT MUST
BE ABOLISHED, and you and can and must
doH The task is as simple and easy as its
contamination will 30 beneficent, and its ro-
/
simple rule of action; to do eyerywhers and on
every occasion what We can, and not to neglect
or refuse to do what we can, at any time be-
tcause st that precise time, znd on that partic-
alaT occasion, we cannot do more. GircurnF
stances determine possibilities "
Extend cordial welcome to tire fugitive who
lays his weary limbs at your door, and DEFEND
HIM as you would your paternal GODS" ~
"Correct your own error that slavery has any
CONSTITUTIONAL guarantee a0hich may not be RE-
LEASED, and ought not to be relinouished" v
"You will soon bring the parties Of the esuntry
into an effective aggression upon slavery
Not content with thus denying the existencs
Of "any constitutional guarantee" to slavery;
not satisfied with thus advising forcibls resist
ance to the reclamation OF fugitive slaves in de-
fance Of the Constitution which says express
ly that they shall be delivered up" Mr.. Sew
ard proceeds to set asfds tie entire Coustitu-
ton, and to erect in its stead his higher-lav
gospel: fa
"But there is HIGHER Law than tho Constt.
tuition, which regulates our authority over the
domain, and deVotes it to the same noble pus
poses.' ~
In October, 1856, at Albany he said:
"Sia7ery is not and never can be, perpetual.
1t will be oyerthrown either peacefully and
lawfully under this Constitution, or it will work
the subversion of the Constitution together
with its own overthrow. Then the Shareholder
mould perish IN the struggle.''
We quote from Horace Mann, Of Massachss-
stts, former N. c.; Henry Wilson, u. S. Sena-
tor; Charles Sumner, Joshua K. Giddings, N.
P. Banks, and other leading Republicans, all Of
whom concur in temper and spirit with Mr..
Seward, or surpass him in violence and trea-
sonable doctrine'
/ II conclusion, have only to add that such
is my solemn and abiding conviction of the char
acter Of slavery, that under full sense Of my
responsibility TO my country and my God, I de-
liberately say, better disunton--better ciml or
a servile a0ar-better anything that God in
His providence shall send-than an extension
Of the bounds Of slavery,"--(Spsech Of Hon.
