4 Genuine Republican.

That Black Republican enthusiast, Sen
ator Wilson, of Massachusetts, made a
speech last week IN Boston, in which he
became more boisterous and threatening
than ever before Republican political
theology was duly unmasked by him in
the following lucid style:
Tonight, thanks be to God, to. night ,ce
stand rith tie SlaUe 0o5Cer beneath our feet.-
(Applause.) That naughty power which
corrupted the Whig party, strangled the
American party, NJ d used the Democrat
ic party as tool, lies crashed to ule dust to-
night and our heel is upon il. wild and
.uproarious applause, and cries of Good,
Good w") And sir-said the Senator
that power never rises again; it can nev-
er more sway the destinies OF the Govern.
ment of the United States. We hare crush.
cd Il and grOndu to powder;
This is the language at which our South.
ern friends becor offended this is what
we are TO accept as oncliation-harmo-
Iny--peace! Irheaping ridicule and abuse
upon the South these times will bring
about peace, we are entirely mistaken in
their character
The camp-followers Of this great chief
insist that they are not Abolitionists (:
that Gerrit Smith, VIM. L. Garrison and
Wendell Phillips are the Abolitionists 4:
that they are the especial ard warm
friends of the South. If this is the fact
why are not such men ns Wilson, Gid
dings and Doolittle denounced by the Re,
publican leaders and Press?
Carl Schurz the Red,Republican de-
structive and demagogue, delivered q
speech last week at Milwaukee, in which
he uses the following language:
ave have pretended nothiup we did
not actually believe in. We have promi-
| ised nothing that we did not mean faiths
/ fully to perform; we have appealed TO
nothing but the reason and patriotism of
the people. There never was political
contest in Which the questions at issue
we're more plainly or unequivocally stated
and more thoroughly discussed"
This is, we believe, an honest statement
of the case. A few days after the deliy>
cry OF this speech by Shurz, the leading
Republican organ of Milwaukee gave vent
to the following declaration of principles.
at is true, we have as yet only succeed.
ed in driving our opponents to the south
side of Mason d' Dixon's line. but let
them not be inpatient. We don't pro
pose to pause there. We calculate TO
drive them to the Gulf of Mexico aud con.
vert the whole country to freedom before
We get done with the question:. 1t is rot
orr fault that the country is geographical
ly divided, but the fault Of those who
maintain geographical boundary to sla-
very. We shall sooner or later wash it
out entirely in the waters of the Gulf"
1t is an undeniable fact, that the Leads
ers of tho Republican party all play upon
the same string, and their followers dance
10 the same with a gusto.

Thanksgiving Day.

We learn from our exchanges that ih.
day, having been set apart by large IN.
ioritv of the Governors of the sever.
States, as a day of general thanksgivir
and praise, for the innumerable bless'nf
bestowed upon us by the Giver Of ever
good and perfect gift. The day was gcr
era lly observed in becoming mann
excepting G by that class of men, who We
the livery Of heaven to serve the Der
more fully ;hhn they otherwise could.
For our part, we hope the day,as scc
may be abolished, for the reason that e
opportunity is always embraced by TIA
generation of vipers, led on by Beecle
Chaplin & Co., to spread themselves
their pulpits, it is n kind of license gran.
ed TO this class ofpreachers, who come
fully up TO the standard of their predo-
cessor-we mean Judas lscariot, for they
both betray their master and insult their
hearers, and assist to trail the banner o,
their divine master in the dust. But $50
presume they act from the same that THEN
wretched prototype dii-for money 'ro
we expect to hear ofthem closing their
lives in the same manner.
This class of men, like all wrong doe~.
succeed by false pretences, they arisoio
their pulpits and announce preochina --
next Sunday at the usual hour, from q s
/ position they occupy and the bool, .la-
/ hold in THEN hands, the public expe1 o
hear the Gospel preached But upon s
sembling their ears are treated with a
subject not Found between the lids of mo
I Bible negroes and American Slavery.
1t seems to US that this class Of hyr5
critics will not cease until they have des-
troycd both Religion ana Liberty in til.
country. They are a bighting curse Z.
our land, and everything that is just a.
right.

The Decree has Gone Forth.

A dark and gloomy future seems to
pervade the political atmosphere of our
land-discordant notes are being sounded
10y the leading demagogues in both the
North and the South they are heating the
political cauldron to is utmost capacity.
An almost unanimous voice salutes US
from the South, calling upon their north
orn friends and neighbors to live up to,
and fully execute tie constitutional obli-
cations that We took upon ourselves from
tho hands four ancestors They demand
Of us the repeal of all Personal Liberty
Bills which have been unconstitutionally
passed by a number of Northern States
This they have a just right to ask i; and in
Justice TO them and ourselves, we are
bound by everything that is sacred and
right, to repeal all such obnoxious laws.
The Boston Traveller, the leading Repub
Ican organ IN Massachusetts,, calls upon
her citizens to pass another law more out
rageous than the one already upon her
statute book AS an indication of what
the law is TO be, we publish the form Of Z
Petition which is now being circulated
throughout that State, to wit;
"To the Honorable Senate and House o.
Representatives of the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts
The undersigned citizens of - ,Massa.
chusetts. respe ctfullv ask YOU to put an
end to SLAVE.HUNTING in Massachu-
setts, by enacting that no person, who has
been held as Slave, shall be delivered up
by any officer of Court, State or Fede-
al, within .his Commonwealth, to any
ono claiming Kim on the ground that he
owes service or labor to such claimant
~ the laws OF one of the Slave States o
this Union.
The same paper states, that if the Per.
sonal Liberty Bill is repealed, the Repub-
lcan party will be broken up. Hear him
"The day on which that law shall be re-
pealed, will see her Republican party gC
to wreck"
So that double distilled tory and lrai-
tor-traitor to his God and his country
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, replies as follows:
That last remark is as true as the COS
pei Let the Republican party show an,
disposition to back down from its anti
slavery professions, at the Southern over
seers and it viii be broken as quickly as
rope Of sand. 1t owes its success entirel,
to those professions, and to abandon then
will be certain defeat and an ever!astin!
disgrace.
And then starts off with the followin.
beautiful ~ description of his Southorl
neighbors;
"They are inexorable rs death, and n
insatiate as the grave. Their principle
are those of burglars Mgkoaymcn and pi
rates, and heir practices arc a grcat deal ,cogse
In support Of their hellish slave system
they would (if necessary annihilate the
very existence of the North nor stop al
tho commission Of any crime, however
monstrous or deyilish. .
The italics are ours. The conclusion
reached by those two leaders of the Re,
publican party, is, that their party, as a
party must be upheld and sustained even

Legislative Duties.

The approaching session of the Penn,
sylyapia Legislature viii partake OF mcre
than ordinary interest.
The lcwly elected Governor, Col. Cur
tin will be inaugurated on the third
Tuesday of January-the 18th day ofthe

A United States Senator is to be elected
on the second Tuesday of January, the 7th
day of the month.
A State Treasurer is TO he elected on
the third Monday Of January and
the Legislature are required to meet on

We hope an effort will be made by eve.
ry citizen who desires the welfare of his
country, to that Of mere party, to have
that iniquitous Personal Liberty bill re
peNled during the present session, and 10
this end let every citizen call upon lis
Representative, either by letter or peti,

We intend to print large number Of pc.
titions to this effect, as soon as we conve-

Worthy of Consideration.

A Washington correspondent oi 'he
Philadelphia Press, says:
"Among the numercus propositions be-
fore the country at this time to restore
peace and harmony, is one that originated
With the Hon. r. J. Walker, to the effect
that, the Presidential electors in he sew"
eral States should be elected in single Dis.
tricts similar to choosing member ol
Congress"
Should this mode be adopted in the fu>
ture-and we hope it Wilt would most
effectuElly destroy any andall sectionalpar-
ties, whether in the North or in ;he South,
aud would be the death knell to all mere
geographical organizations. twill, also
most effectually hol6 in check large ma
iorities, and is really the only Democratic
rule. Minoritie5, however SMALL would
have their lights equally respected. Had
this system been in force at the late cleo
ton, Mr.. Lincoln could never have been
elected to the Presidency, nor could here
after any exclusively sectional candidate
succeed.
Itis true Mr.. Lincoln has been elected.
One million seven hundred thousand
citizens of these United States have decla'
red for him through the popular voice =
on the other hand two million seven hun
dred thousand votes have acknowledgement
him-thus electing him President with a
majority of one million OF votes against
HIM in the popular count. Upon the 9th
er hand, the electoral college gives him
three million two hundred and fifty thou.
sand-because all the electors are counted
for him. Representing this vote, in short,
the popular vote for Lincoln is about
100000 while tho electoral College gives
him 3 3,2j0,0OO or nearly two to one.
When we view the case from a Demo-
cratic point, We must come 10 the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Lincoln is not ertitled to
the whole twenty-seven electors of Penn>
sylvania; from the principle above indica-
ted he should have twenty'one; which we
believe is the number of opposition men,
bers of Congress from the State. fit is
just and proper to elect Presidential elec>
tors by general ticket, it is equally just
10 elect the Congressional delegation in
the sa ne way but upon the other hand,
if our mode Of electing members of Con-
gress is just and Democratic, let us so
amend and change our laws in reference
to the election Of Presidential electors,
as to have our system of Government more
perfect end harmonious.
The subject is well worthy the attention
of every citizen who feels desire to have
Justice and harmony prevail among us as
nation.

BY their Acts ye shaIl Know them

The Republicans say that none are dis,
unionists cut the breckenridge Demo
Gratis of the South, aided and abbetted by
allies of the same stripe Of politics in the
North" This is in fearful keeping with
the leaders of that party, To deceive,
mislead, and conceal the truth from the
people, appears TO be their chief aim.-
They know that thero is no division-but
perfect union among all classes of Southern
men in favor of secession, unless certain
obnoxious laws now on the Statute books
ofsome Of tho Northern States are repeal
ed, and certain assurances given that the
Southern States and people arc to have
equal rights in the territories, and in all
other "common property" We repeat,
that whilst they knov that the people OF
the South, from Maryland to Texas, are a
perfect unit in favor of secession, unless
these conditions are complied with,
they continue in the attempt to deceive
the people by representing that the only
disunion;sts are the "Breckinridge Demo-
Gratis" 't t-

who are the Disunionists ?o

1--WE answer, without fear of successful
contradiction" the Republican Abolition
party of the North. Their professions of
attachment and loyalty to the Union are
not worth the paper it takes to print
them. They aro to be juigdJy hcir acts,-
Do their acts condemn them? Where (?
and how? Is there any cause of disturb,
ance between the North and the South
that they are not TIE authors Of? Are
they not the authors of nullifying the
Constitution? Do they not support and
endorse every dogma calculated to offend
and aggrayate the South are not the
principal plank's Of their party's platform
.avowedly and notoriously founded upon
hostility to the South, such as the South
cannot brook without dishonor?
The evonts of the last few months and
years are fresh in the recollections Of eve
.ry reader, and we desire them to answer
these questions-perfectly confident that
the unanimous response of every candid
mind will be that they, the Abolitionized
Republican party-notwithsla Standing their
professions to the oontrary-ore the real
Dismion party-and that is the rational
and inevitable consequence of the princi-
pies and measures with which they have
triumphed in the recent election
