be followed by an aba ement Of

legislators Of the country TINE and opportunity

their constituents, to questions which Concern
tbs material development Of tie Republic.
That is the indisputable, lhs rational and log
ical result Of Republican rule, is evident from
the piain considerations which We present be-
i,w:-
I. Mr.. Lincoln will be impclled by his oath |
Of omcc, his long cherished opinions and his
duty TO tho country, to put his foot On all
schemes Of territorial aggraEdisement, entered
Into for the sole purpose Of giving wider area
to Slavery. Hence flllibusteripg in Nicaragua,
Mexico and Cuba, will come to dend halt:
and the mad.caps Of the South, among whom
ere nlne-tenths Of Mr.. Douglas Southern
friends, vii! labor in win for acquisitions 10
s.e national domain, which shall serve as the
nucleus Of new slavery agitation. or which
will give new forco to the fire that is no"

political results Of the ant.Slavery war eau

The beniiceut provisions Of a future Homestead

next session Of Congress, be carved out Of the

rails it ia supposed to contain. But it will be

Ill No net Of Congress, no line Of policy
on the part Of the President, 10 party schemes,
can touch Slavery where It exists in the States
by the guaranty Of positive law. No party
c:ntemp]ates, 10 party demands, 20 President,
bound By his oath Of Office and his Obligations
to the Constitution, will permit interference in
that quarter. Moral social uud religious eu-
deavor may, and doubtless will, continue. Ap-
peals. having lhtr basis in Christianity, in the
equality Of I'LL men in The liberty with which
their Maker endowed them, and in the lower,
but not less powerful, considerations Of IN
economical character, will continue to be made
to the couscience aud self:iutcrcsi Of g slave
holding Stutes; but with Republican Presi-
dent in power, WHO will prevent the acquIsi-
ton Of new and unnecessary slave soil, about
the stdtr, and government Of which new
quarrel may be provoked, the Slavery ques-
tion will be SO shorn Of its political proportions
that the attention Of the people must be turned
to other aud less exciting things.
Up to this time the astators have been the
restless and ardent politicians Of the South;
but they hayo been powerful for evil only
when able to command the services Of the
Federal Government in aid Of their schemes.
Their !cepeal Of the Missouri Compromise;
their subsequent outrages in Kansas. culmina-

their Dred Scott decision, tile greatest Of the
andignities with which they are charged
these have Lecn illc results Of their supremacy

won. The triumph is with the Anti Slavery
