The overthrow Of tho Slavs Power as 8
dominant influence in the government promi-
ses 8 thousand benefits to our country and
mankind. We need not recount those Of q
commercial and economical character which
will follow tho Wrestling Qf the legislation of
tue country from those who have Welded II
exclusively for the benefit Of class. The
influence which IN enlightened and just poli-
cy. devised and executed for the benefit Of all,
will hare in quickeniug our commerce, our
manufacturing industry and cur mining
enterprises, and through them, agricul-
tural pursuits, may be easily antlc'-
anticipated by all who are conscious of the
difficulties, disabilities aud dlscouragements
with which the the leading interests Of the
people have been visited By government de-
voted alone to the enslavement Of man. The
lifting Of the incubus by which the great class
Of toiling white men have been kept down, is
IN object for which they might justly consul
mate the peaceful revolution in which they
are engaged. But when We add to The materi-
al results promised BY tho approaching change,
the stimulus Of the idea that the election Of
LINCOLN will be the restoration Of tho old
principles and policy thatanimatcd our fathers
On tho question Of human freedom, and the
fact that af.er brief ebu}tition Of slave-hold-
ing wrath. tho angry sectional controversy
will subside, and peace be restored, the incon.
tivesto Republican exertion become 50 strong
that they would put life into dead mems
bones.
To be able to believe that within year a.
ter Lincolns Inauguration, the whole country,
confding in the necessity and justice Of the
policy devised By the Fathers, will acquieace
in the declaration that slavery as
political issue in which the Federal Govern.
ment is concerned, is dead; that the warning
sections will be reconciled and become har-
monious; that the reproach Of national Propa-
gandism Of Slavery will bs taken away; that
the material interests Of the people will re-
cciye legislative care; that our rational do
main, snatched from. the grasp Of SPECTATORS
will bc given up as homes for the 1sneless
poor; that our rivers and harb-1s will be in
the liro Of improvement; that mining, manu-.
featuring and, indirectly, agriculture, will be
met BY no more Federal opposition; aud that
the great principle Of human freedom under
lying Our institutions has been saved from
further outrage, and restored to its llace as
the corner stons Of the Republic TO bel eve
these as The almost certain results to ilow from
tlange Of administration at Washington,
ought to strengthen every Republican arm aad
heart for the remainder Of the eonnic. tcf,1e
us-ought to make every man a hero and
every hero host.
But little more Than month isyet to cIarse
before the great battle that will make US Ger
tain cf these reforms, is to be fought. Let
a spirit be aroused here to-day which will 60
10 the EXTREMIST part Of the Northwest, ard
which will be content with nothing tut a vic.
tory and the enduring and benlfcent results
which are sure to follow it That is tho labor
for the present With il, the victory, the rrt s.
erration Of the Union ana the advance Of the
people in all that is essential 10 prosperity,
happiness and freedom, are certain.
