Republican party, would never have ex-

not been first sectionalised and reduced
to mere Slavery propagandism by the
National Democratic party. All the
Northern States, except two, voted for
Franklin Pierce; the Republican party
hadsuo existence until the South, aided
By Northern demogogucs, abrogated the
Missouri Compromise. Then it was

latter had resolved themselves into a

before the Republican party was or
