. decisively on the Republican platform
and will support the nominee of tn,
Chicago Convention. And having ta
ken this position it wants no milk and
water candidate. After giving the lead
ing doctrines of the Republican party
the editor says:
owe believe the time has arrived fol
all menswho love their country and wish
to perpetuate her Republican form o.
Government, to show their hands, ano
take position in one or the other of the
two leading political parties now pre-
pairing for the contest. Both political
organizations cannot be right,-if one il
right, the other is RADICAL y wrong. The
day for hesitating, or trimming and wa.
vering has gone by; and, however con.
scientiously men heretofore may have
sympathised and worked with third
party in the belief that such party was
acting as check or conservator upon
either of the main organizations, that
day has gone by. The dangerous doe
trines of the Locofoco party are kno,on.
Thegrasping, ,overshadowing influence
of the Slave Power is sweeping like a
whirlwind over the Free North and
West. and fastening with hooks of steel
upon every point it can gain hold. 1t
is no time for men to fold their arms and
passively indulge in the sleep of {" con-
servatism " while the vitality and energy
of the Free North and West are songht
to be crushed and stifed by the Hydra
of the Slave Power, as it stalks abroad,
with its rearing heads of "SoUATTER
SOVEREIGNTY y C LEcoMPToNIsM, -

1t is no time to tickle this monster
with straws, and attempt to appease it's
voraoious appetite with timid peace-of-
ferings of g conservatism. We want a
Hercules to manfully oppose, and club
the life out of the monster. That Her
cules is the Republican Pary!"
The editor. after stating that he, with
many other !" conservatives, assisted in
the election Of Buchanan in 1856, adds /:
g But there were several pages of Bu-
chanan's life then blank that have since
been written. The Loeofoco party has
also progressed since then, and taken
several strides forward that make its dis
ciples in the North stare aghast. Like
the Lilliputians, they have fostered a

fear of being crushed to death by its
gentle steps, Even the Postmasters of
the North have to get. upon stills to
avoid being run over or. blown away ev-
cry time it changes position or snorts. "
Welcome, Mr. Tribune, to the ranks
of the Republican party! Thousands
of good men all over the land will fol-
low your example, and swell the great
army of freedom in the coming cam
