REPUBLICANIsM BY ITS FRIENDS.

The Republican party opposes all new doctrines
and uno7etins measures for the extension of Sla.
very iuto free territory. This is its mission, and
this is the head and front of its oifcudinr. Il
recognizes and scrupulously respects the right ol
the people Of the slave States to control the nst-
tuition within their own limits as they please 1t
neither counsels nor encourages by word or deed
any interference with that right. But opponents
have persstenty misrepresente6 and belied our
biects, through their presses and public speakers
They have reiterated the proclamation that we
desire to make war upon Slavery in the, States,
and set all the nggers free" till it is not strange
il they have induced some ignorant persons to
believe the charge. If any crazy fanatic has been
encouraged to enter upon a crusade against Sla-
very where it exists, under any idea that the
movement would find sympathy or couutenance in
the racks Of the Republican party, that idea has
been inculcated only by the vilanous misrepre-
sentations of our opponents. Are we responsible
for the fruits of their falsehoods ?
u
The Republican party neither has nor desires
to have anything to do with the abolition of Sla-
very. 1t is opposed to its extension into free ter
ritOry, but cortent to leave the institution, in
States where it exists to work out its solution
under the exclusive management and control of
the people of those States. This is Republican
ism.
This is no reason, in the nature Of the case, to
prevent the advocacy, in Maryland and Virginia,
of the Republican creed, in its whole length and
breadth, without softening, dilutOn, or comprO-
mise. 1t is the advocacy of that creed which con-
stitutes the vitality of the Opposition in Missouri
at this moment; and what is possible in Missouri
is possible on the Potomac The extension Of
Slavery is no more desirable to the South than it
is to the North; and an overwhelming majority Of
the people in all this middle region would sustain
the policy of reservng the Territories for free la
Dor, if the issue was fairly presented to them.
Washington Republic.
The Repub lcan party is not an Abolition par
ty. Its platform, adopted in 1885, expressly dis
claimed all purpose of interfering with Slavery in
the States 1t is opposed to the extension of Sla-
very, but beyond that its opposition does not go.
All statements to the contrary are falsehoods.-

service, which has been maintained by
them in a manner altogether satisfactory

Quiet the Child, or He'll choke.

An old lady, in sxpatiating on the
treatment of children, used to relate tha
following anecdote, which I shali giYs iu
her own words:
when | was young girl we lived
nigh to family that had but one child,
boy of about three or four years old.
This child had been petted and INDUCED
to very improper extent by his parents,
and in such way as to entirely ruin his
temper, for he was frequently refused the
qualification Of his whims and caprices
until he became not only clamorous In his
demands, but would throw himself on the
focr screaming to the utmost power of his
lungs until blue in the face, and nearly
strangled by his exertiou, when the alarm
ed mother would call out to any one who
was convenient, and who was presumed
TO know his wishes, Quiet the child, or
he'll choke, which meant that his demands
should be complied with in order to pre-.
vent strangulation. This being done,
there would be an interregnum or cessa-
ton of the uproar until he discovered
some new want which if not immediately
gratified produced q recurrence of the
same scene, and its command, Qulet tho
child, on hen choke
"One day the parents were both from
home, and was left in charge Of tho
house, in company with their usual hired
help or maid of ali work, when Johnny,
who had been left in our care, imagined
some improper want, and being denied,
went off into one of his usual tantrums,
to which we concluded to pay no atten.
ton. Finding himself disregarded after
all his clamor, and holding his breath uu-
til as blue as turkey rooster in the face,
and still not hearing from any one the
usual command, he concluded to give it
himself, and roared out Justify, Quiet
the child, or he'U choke at which wa
could not avoid INDUCING in q hearty
laugh.
Johnny, for once, was disappointed,
and, full of modification, got on to his legs
again, and for the remainder of the day
was quiet and orderly"
| have often Of late years thought Of
little Johnny when beholding the manner
in which some men or communities con-
duct themselves in order to accomplish
their ends, of which the latest instance
is Governor Wise, whom the Union-sav-
e-s Of our cities are trying to "quist."

A CLEAN OF GooD SENSE FROM THE
South We take the following from the
Charestown Mercury, of November
2Sth:
owe are satisfied that every Intelligent
man in the South has been completely
dlsgusted at the broad and pathetic farce
that has been played off before the public
about the hanging of that haary william,
"Old Brown" From the 500 invaders
in possession of Harper's Ferry, and the
1000 negroes carried off to the noun
talns of Pennsylvania-from the further
invasions and the threats of invasion
the arsons and fears of arson--the march
es ard countsrmarches of the pouies and
cessations of ponies-Governo Wise, the
energetic, and his troops-down to the
final climax of military aid offered by
Gov. Gist of South Carolina to the Gov
ernor of Virginia, for the purpose of max
ing certain the aforesaid hanging of Old
Brown & Cot is tissue Of disgrace,
eCdggeralion and inrcntion sufficient to
ster the gall Of the Southernor, acho has
regard for the dignity and responsibility
of the Southern people. To us it really
looks as if those in possession of the tele.
graph were in league to ridicule the South
and make US alaughing stock to ourselves
and before the world. We sincerely trust
that our Legislature, which meets to-day,
will bear this in mind, and take no action
whatever in regard to ourselves or our in.
stitution, that may even have the appear
ance of being prompted by the Virginia
farce and its terrorism.
