Spelling a Horn

Spelling a Horn.
. Making spoon or spelling horn, is
an old adage. 1t has received one more ex-
empliiication, in the failure of the Locos to
make Mr.. J. G. Davis of Inliana, speaker,
if fpossible.
Indiana is unlucky in the matter oi
Speakers. She has never had that honor, ex-
cept once, and that was in the person OF the
late John w. Davis. We remember well
how Mr.. w. j. Brown came nearer being
lifted to that Office, than even Mr.. J. q. Da-
Wis did, day or two ago but an unlucky
exposure, somewhat like that which befel
the latter gentleman, cut him out of the
honor.
There can be no doubt that Mr. Miles in
tended to nominate Mr.. J. c. Davis. and
that the whole Administration strength
would have been concentrated upon him,
with the expectation that the whole South
American vote would have followed, to-
gether with all the eAnti-Lecomptonites who
have been hitherto on the fence But even

REPUBLICANS nor ABoLIr1oNIsrs.

NOT ABOLlTIONlSTS.
There is a strong and eager desire, and al
ways has been, among the bogus Democracy
to spread the notion that the Republicans are
aiming at the abolition of Slavery by the ac-
ton Of the Federal Government.
The Republican party was originated by
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise. That
repeal was a measure designed 30 let Slavery
into territory from which it had been hitherto
excluded. The Northern people united in
party to execrato that design, and forbid the
extension of that institution To this party
they gave the name Of Republican The OBJ
iect for which the party was formed is still
the leading object Of its existence. 1t offers
itself as breakwater and bulwark against
the nelarious purposes of the rcpcalcrs Of the
Missouri Compromise, and against those who,
ever since the time Of that repeal have in
every way exerted themselves to further those
purposes In doing this, it has condemned
Presidents, Judges, Members Of Congress,
and agents of the Executive Government Of
high and low degree. Right hand and left. it
has dealt its blows at the whole crew of de-
spoilers Of Free territory. 1t has given them
no quarter, it intends 20 give them none.
Whether they 60 for spreading Slavery by
letting Shareholders establish it on free terri
tory, or spreading it by the arm Of tho judi
cial power forbdding all attempts to interfere
with its universal diffusion. or whether they
60 for spreading it by means Of a Slave code
it is all the same to the Republicans. They
detest all phases Of the scheme with the same
hatred They fight against all with equal
ieryor, and they will continue to do so. They
believe in Freedom and they do not believe
in Slavery They will have the Public Do
main kept sacred for reemcn and for free mems
children, and they war with an irreprcssiblc
determination against its prostitution to the
spread of the thrice accurscd institution.
They vow to cxtinguish its germs wherever
they can find them newly planted. if it be a
possible thing. They will do this by lcgisla-
ton where they can, and where they cannot
they will do it 10y the Kansas method if they
are able. This spirit has been evoked by the
attempt TO spread Slavery over cur whole ter
ritory And it will last while the subject of
it lasts
Having said this we now wish to say a
little more The Republican party is not an
Abolition party. 1t has never proposed to
use the power Of the Federal Government to
abolish Slavery. Such use of that Govern
mcnt is not in its creed, and never was. 1t
does not wish by any national action. to in
tcricre with Slavery in the States whore it
exists. 1t has no advice to give as to its
management there. It has no crusadcs
to project. 1t does not contemplate any
national scheme Of emancipation of the
African race. The management Of that Qucs-
ton, its discussion, its agitation, is no part Of
its programme. 1t is content to let the Slave
