Is the Republican Party seotiouaIP
The advocates Of tho Douglas De-
mocracy and the Bell Everett party are
accustomed to assail the Republican
party as sectional, because both Of its
candidates are taken from the Free
States. They speak Of this as conclu-
sive on the subject assuming that a par
ty not sectional must necessarily have
candidates representing slaveholding
aud non-slaveholding States.
In 1900, Jefferson and Burr we're
eleoted--both from slaveholding States.
So we're Monroe and Tompkins. Jack
son and Calhoun were both from slave
States Adams and Rush were both
from free States.
1t is said that the Republican party
has its existence only in the free States,

AAN a-AN = aAAAeAArtAAAa AAAN aAabAANAAAAAHNa' I
At the late Democratic meeting, Mr..
Stanley Matthews read two extracts
one from a speech Of Abraham Lincoln,
the other Of Seward-in which was
pointed out, in clear and eloquent terms,
the necessary conflict and antagonism
between the principles Of freedom and
Of slavery. He gave "Old Abe" the
priority in the announcement of the
doctrine of "tho irroprossible conflict"
These passages-which were well read
by Mr.. Matthews, in order that his au-
dience might receive a distinct impress
sion of what was meant by "the ire
pressible conflict constituted the best
and most effective part of his speech,
and formed a noble and striking con-
trast to the partisan, pettifogging ap-
peals to prejudice and passion which
characterized the greater portion of his
address. 1t was not an appeal to reason
aud underlying conscientious convic
tious-founded upon virtuous principle
aud a clear discrimination between the
eternal principles Of right and wrong
but assumed throughout as the ground
of its augmentation that slavery was
fright, natural, and necessary to be per-
petuated as a permanent institution Of
American society. Hence his effort was
to identify the Republican party with
the Aboitiouists of former day, and
of the present, whose aim was the ulti-
mate abolition of slavery everywhere.
Hence he directed his logic and his
rhetoric to accumulate as much odium
as possible upon the Republicans, be-
cause of the tendency of their princi-
Piles, as he charged, to the ultimate cx-
tinction Of slavery.
But what constitutes an Abolitionist?
Does opposition to the extension and
perpetuitv Of sIoverv make q man an
! Abolitionist? Does n belief that slavery
IS a moral, political and social evil,
which, instead of being extended should
be limited, and left to die out? Upon
this principle, WASHINGTON was an
AbolitiOuist. He wished to see slavery
abolished by law" JEFFERSON was
an Abolitionist, for he trembled for his
country when he reflected that God was
just, and that lie had no attribute
which would take sides with the slave.

for he said it was an important point tc

Tho Equestrian Statue of Washington.

The following is brief description Of the sta
tue and it's pedesal
The pedestal is Of MARBLE twenty-five feet in
height, divided iuto three stories, illustrating tho
three great epochs in the history of the country.
The figures are in bronze. The first story repre-.
sents the country as it appeared on its first disco
very. when inhabited by the Indians. The see
ond story represents its general aspect under the
changes wrought by the still advancing hand OF
civilization The third and last story represents
the great Revolutionary struggle, and is surmoun.
ted by colossal statue of Washington.
In the first story the Indians are represented in
low relief engaged in their fayorite SPORTS captu-
ring the buffalo, pursuing the moose aud deer and
cultivating corn and tobacco. The first panel Of
man appears cutting his way into the dense for.
est. with hope and cheerfulness beaming on his
countenance. In corner of this panel the In
dian is seen retiring, looking wistfully back, his
features expressive of the pain and regret he feels
ut being compelled 10 abandon his happy hunting
grounds, and to fly before the face Of the white
man and the advance Of civilization. In the seq
ond panel the white man has made clearing in
the forest, erected his log cabin and is seen busi-
ly cultyating his ground-symbolical OF which
are seen his oxen, plough, &c. The dangers en-.
countered by the early pioneers are suggested
bv the appearance Of ILdians shooting them
Down from behind the trees with tho very rifles
which the white men first taught them to USE.
This leads to war between the red warriors
and the pale faces. The next panel therefore,
presents n battle with the Indians-man to man
and arm to arm--the white man, however. gerd-
ing the ascendancy over his rude foes. The next
panel represents the symbols Of the white nkys,s
progress in agriculture, in commerce and il the
arts. and Lts growing power and independence. -
At this stage Of his history OCCUR the Gouitiss
with the mother country, and the sftst introduces
new scenes. On the succeeding panusl are the
