Republican Manifesto from a slave
ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF MARYLAND.
. tLe Psopls of lLnrnlnnd.

BALTIMORE, July 10, 1860.
10 The People Of NaryluMd:
The Executive Committee of the Repub-
lican party of the State of Maryland, in
submitting to you an electoral ticket for
President and Vicc-Presidcnt, deem it IL
proper occasion to present brief address,
in3explanation and defence of their princi-
plies and objects. .s...sl.ls
The great question to be settled in the
present election is, whether slavery shall
be nationalized and extended over all the
territory of the United States, leaving no
portion of those vast domains where the
white settler can be secure from its blast
ing influence, or whether it shall be con-
fined to its present limits, to the states i'll
which it now exists, as an institution over
which the federal government has no juris-
diction. The assertion, either so ignor-
antIy or maIiciously made, that tile Rcpub-
licam party proposes, by force, to abolish
slavery and elevate the negro to Il social
equality with the white man, we deuomncc
as 1t most unfoundcd accusation.
This party is essentially the white mans
party. Its sympathies arc enlisted in be-
half OF the white race, and its fundamen-
tai object is to protect and ennoble free
labor Oar party receives the doctrine
that the federal government hhs no power
to interfere with slavery or any domestic
institution of the several states, and de-
clares tho invasion, by force, of any state,
under what pretcxt soever, to be amongst
the .gravest of crimes. Believing with the
founders of the republic, that Congress
has "the power to make all needful laws
and regulations respecting the territories
belonging to tue United States" and that
slavery should be confined to the states in
which il now exists, we accept thespropo-
sition of the Chicago Gouvention-thnt
freedom us the normal condition OF the
tcrritories"-an that 1t is both the right
and ,dutyiof Congress to exclude slavery
therefrom by positive legislation.
Thatzthe white lMborcr may lihvc all the
encouragement and protection which may
be proper to extend to him, we are in fu-
vor of homestead law, that wilt secure
free homes to the actualtsettlers; and that
the labor of our citizens may be onconr-
aged and protected from foreign compcti-
tion, we advocate such judicious duty
upon imports, As will provide an adequate
revenue for the support of the general
government, and simultaneously devclOpe
and foster the industrial interests of the
country. The effects of so long acontinu-
nnce power of the party now admins
tering the federal government are clearly
seen and relt tliroIgllouttbe Union-in i.

The heart of true woman never dis
closes all its rich perfume of love and uf
lection and goodness and charity and mer-
CT, until, like the garden shrub, it hath
been bruised and broken and wounded By
the hand of sorrow and agony ana suffer-
ing aud atllction.
1t may grow upon the verdant stem of
life life for summer after, summer. and uexer
depths of odorous noblcness; but, when
the frnil columns of its hopes are broken
and aud the hcart-bud crushed in the
grasp of destiny, it will raise its wounded
face before the arm of fate and perfume
the winds of advcrsity with its hallowed
sweets.
Alas! that we should be so blind to the
sacred truths of nature. Alas! that wo-
man should strive for fame and riches and
| glory, when this wandering into unknown
lands leaves the soul lonely and forsaken.
What to Mrs. Norton or Mrs. Hcmans or
Miss LandOn are the praises of men COM
pared with the darkness aud sorrow and
suffering of broken, wounded, bleeding
hearts?
Look upon yon monntnin stream, leap
ing from its pebbly home, and, beneath
shady trees, wandering gladly on to the
music of singing laughing winds.
Calm and peaceful is its life. But, a little
while and the pure waters are weary Of
their happy homc-wcary of the trees
! warm tenderness and the birds soothing
| songs-weary ofthc fondling banks and the
kisses of the sweetest winds. Alas! poor
little stream! Like the human heart, led
by ambitions smile, it must seek some un-
known land-must spring from the en-
brace of love and kindness and affection
to the uncertain arms of an uncertain
fate.
And SO, with scarce a sigh, it looks to
the sun ovcr-hend-the sun of lifc-and,
with a shout of liberty, leaps toward the
distant sea. At first there is, but little
change 4 memory of the joys gone by
will cheer up the heart and warm the
brain. But, after n while, the Quiet
stream in startled by thcfrightful preciplcc
of some disappointed hope, and, at the
foany depths below, learns tho late now
vain and foolish it hath been. Again it
gathers up its shattered strength and with
increased energy and pride goes on the
rugged way. Pebbles of envy meet it on
every side, and great bowlders of SANDER
make it gronn in silent agony. Decaycd
branches of jealousy interrupt its feverish
course, and moss-grown dams of hatred
rear their callous fronts before the labor
ing stream.
And then the limpid water, so pure in
its mountain home, is darkencd by the
dross of sclfshncss and crime until its
former self is almost lost amidst the sad
confusions of later life The sweet flowers
of love aud dear roses of friendship that

Walking to Heaven.

There is story in the Mahabbarata OF
FIVE Hindoo princes, who set out from Del hi
TO walk to heaven. How they discovered
the rout is not my affair, and apparently the
secret died with them. Doubtless there are
people III the present day who think that
Paradise can be reached by promenade,
and the individual who goes a thousand
hours will perhaps tell you seriously tha. il
the feat should kill him he is prepared for
the next world. However this may be, the
dangers and fatigues Of the excursion were
too much, even for oplc heroes, and one BY
one the princes dropped off, dying with thea
attendants by the ways:de, ill AGuna, the
handsomest and best, was left alone with
but one followers dog. On through the
starless nights, and the trackless steppes
and thro' the thickets jungle ne strod boldly
with an empty stomach but full heart, feed

of Paradise and the noble Inactiff, ioIling
weary tongue, stretched itself at his feet
and stared doubtfully into his face. Vishun

The Independent Farmer.

Let sailors sing of the windy deep,
Let soldiers praise their armor,
But in my heart this toast III keep.
The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose, in robe Of green,
Unfods its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honey suckle tw w'ning;
When the banks of bloom their sweetnes
yied.
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field.
Where the skies are soft and balmy.
The black bird clucks behind his plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly.
Yon orchard hides behind its bough
The home he loves so dearly;
The gray old barn, hose doors uI fold
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps Of boarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure;
But yonder in the po ch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all the lands
OF Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingly,
To him the Summer bushes,
The Autumn smiles with mellow ray,
His sleep. old Winter hushes;
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubt nor fears confound him;
His little flock are linked in love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts 10 God, and loves his wife,
Nor grief nor i'll may harm her;
He's natures noblcman in life
