than of intolerance. Hence, in all the phases which

affirm that II has been matter OF mtshhgn Mt AID not OF

friend Senator wilson) truly said 1t Is not anti
slavery party. II 1t Is not an anti slavery party what
is iu The republican party no more intends 10 mel
die with slavery south Of Jason and Dxons line,
to aim at the emancipation OF those nov held IN
bondage, than IL intends TO seek, directly, the over

but, at the tim, our province u Lpt 10
stop with compromises or compromises oar OBJECT Is
the abolition Of slavery throughout the lind, and
whether in the prosecution Of our OBJ ct TINS party goes
up the other party goes down 1t Il nothing to us We
cannot alter our hairs breadth, nor accept
compromise of principles for the hearty adoption or
the principles themselves. Our mission Is to regenerae
public opinion. We not concerned for tue loases
and fishes Of office We not seeking the
elevation of any particular mao nor the success of any
particular party We for the honest fearless impartial
proclamation OF Gods everlasting truth, and applying
that truth the consciences Of men, to parties and
scots TO constitutions and laws us mai them

the slightest sign Of progress IN any direction OF course
do not compare the republican, party with the demo
party. Go not believe that II is dangerous
TO the anttsavery cause than the democratic party
believe the democratic purity represents everything Of
hostility To freedom everS where, aud that as party
is the incarnation Of the southern slave olgarchy ruled
by IT and controlled by absolutely. The republican
HSrty differs from the democratic 10 this respect;

extent the party has always obtained justice at my
hands Ny friend Senator Wison has made speech
in Congress looking In the rgnt direction tna have not
felt grafed, and been willing 20 accord To due tit
and with every other prominent member OF the repub
party but when he or any other man stands this
platform OF elsewhere and assumes that we shall do the
best service 10 the Of the slave by grounding
arms, beating retreat from the position which
occupy and going to the republican party the
hope Of the country, for one, think he is aborng under
fatal delusion Of mind, aud cannot accept the PROPOSE
tion tor one moment The republican party to do
nottingham do nohingfor the abolition OF slavery in
the slave States DO not be deceived by the earnest ut
terance Of glowing rhetorical phrases what does the re-
publican party propose 70 doY To prevent If can the

Now this is clear, explicit and abovcsboard; and, so
far slavery concerned within the Territories seems
TO be uprising II denies the right OF any body OF
to make slaves 10 enforce slavery IN the territo

OF stephen A. Douglas airms the right OF the people OF
any Territory to determine for themselves, by majority
vote, whether they viii have slaves or not and sgain
under the leadership of Mr. Breckenridge, CT the other

Shareholder has right to hoa his slaves in any Territory

readily admit this, and nail II evidence Of the
tn Of good throughout the free States
Never shall have anything 70 say against an anti
slavery movement. 10 any extent whatsoever:
But there Is another aspect Of this question. How
Glands the republican patty uadcr the constitution Of the
United States Does bold any different doctrine, essen
tally, fron the democratic party In regard TO the old
pro slavery compromises No My friend, Mr. Wilson,
will deny that by the United states Constitution the
slave holders OF toe south have right 90 three ifhs
rerrsc tcn o. their slave property and the republican
party does not 70 Interfere with that representation
H. Will deny that the republican party holds 70 the
rendition Of fugitive slaves, certainly has spiked every
gun against the accursed Fugitive slave Law OF
1850 when that law wa passed by Congress the repub
lcaus socmny pledged themselves that they would never
AgtatiDg until u wiped out, but now they do
not roar, even gently ghtingac. They have
nothing 70 against hat Law, aud are dong nothing to
prevent It's execution in any q the States - that
that particular stands sce oy side with the democratic
party. Again, am Lot aware that the republican party
has ever denied, or that my friend Mr Wilson de
