Of the restriction OF lo2o-an act OF perndy
no. les. aadacious than startling and shame
ful-ths really true men Of the nation, who
had hitherto looked with comparative indif-
ference upon the aggrsssions Of Slavery
we're drawn together BY tho motives Of .
common patriotism, to check the progress
Of tha. arrogant power which seemed deter
mined, in violation Of the spirit OF our
organic law, to stain spsrmansnt suprema-
cy Of the government. The Republican
party i. tho result. Of the action Of those who,
in 1854, were opposed to the repeal OF the
Missouri Compromise, and to the further
spread Of Slavery. 10 1856, this young
par,y-which took its rise solely from the
outraged ssnsibilities Of the masses-and
was organized simply TO repei an aggression
Of The most blighiiny eharacter-essayed
to take control Of tho "sffairs" Of this ma
ton. In this, its first effort, through the
influence Of an outraged peoples money,
and by the basest and most unprincipled
| frauds, i. was defeated, and the reigns Of
government again confded to that party
which had, by its Discrimination, corruption
and inhdsli,y to principle, entailed upon the
country evils which threatened to endanger,
! if not destroy the tranquility and prosperity
OF the different sections OF the confederacy.

Of millions of dollars Of fat contracts be-
slowed upon partisan favori.es Of members
Of Congress-under.ook the control OF the
popular vote in Pennsylvania, BY importing
votes, and furnishing from tho treasury,
thousands upon thousands Of the peoples
money-in short, this new lease Of power
furnished the Democratic party with the
means and appliances, by which "she pres

whole country looks with uncasiness and
alarm" was brought upon the common
I cath.
That the country may no longer look with
aneasinssss and alarm upon the condition
of our national ahairs, the Republican par
ty proposes, by ths eisction OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN to tho Presidency, TO inaugurate
the reign Of common honesty and sterling
integrity. "Old Abe" is equal to the
emergency, and nothing short Of the most
stupendous frauds can prevent his inaug-
urasion into the Presidential chair on, the
4:h Of March, 1861. The Register intimates
that be is not a man Of ability, experience
and tried frmness. II Mr.. BUCHANAN pos
