Therefore Il is that conservatism true consefvasm,
which looks beyond single section, and surveys me
broader field Of the whole country, the natui OUT
growth of the social and industrial systems Oh ne rec
States. This conservative sentiment mas, On mvre
than one occasion degenerated into timdityj ana
even now securely relied upon as an element OF
etrepetb for the South in the coming contest.
In the North opinion is free; and wherever opinion
is free, the right more than match for the wrong.
Here any one may extol the beauties OF slavery,
poyQamy, Mshommedanism--of anything and every
hing He may write about IT, talk about It, preach
about H. Here we are not afraid Of tract, book,
or speech. Freedom OF discussion always begess az
ference of opinion. In the South, opinion upon the
Slavery question il not free; the most moderate opn-
ions against Slavery cannot there be uttered safely.
The mails are opened and robbed; Northern men sre
watched as enemies books are burned az Bibles nave
cen in times past. There Is open channel torougn
which the Southern mind can be reached upon ne SAD
iect of Slavery. IL considered remarakaoie iaes

The Republican party is prepared for the contes ~

men who are identified with its principles, with OF

Lei us not be diverted by the third party scarcely
heard of since 1885, rising under the dFi of we'll
paid eergeants Of the Democrats party. The times
are TOO earnest for such movements. 1 have before
me the address of the National Union Committee In
Washington to the people Of the United States. IL IL
signed by many gentlemen for whom have high re-
apect and with whom have acted oten. can pledgo
them that every Republican s as earnest in bis devo-
ton to the Unon and the Constitution as they are and
ss this is the staple of their party cry hope they VIII
share it with u.s. as are willing TO share u with
them, sgainst the only men who threaten the Union,
or who seek to subver the Constitution In acting To-
pether no surrender Of principle s required OF us or
of them. So far, at least, as Republicans are con-
cerned, know of no reason Why they cannot co.
Lecompton Constitution, and who willing TO stand
upon the principles avowed by Henry Clay, who de-
cfared that coming he did from Slave State, il
bic eoIemn, deliberate, and well matured determine
ton, that power earthly power, should compel
him to vote for the introduction Of Slavery either north
or south of the Missouri line. L. great contest ss
that now waeing 1t is idle 10 stand aloof upon third
party organization. Those who inclined to de So
scarcely ask great party the tide Of success to
yield up its nag and its organization. We cannot and
we will not do IT, and trust fellow-citzens Of New.
York. your experience has taught You that 1t Is
far better that the Democratic party shonld elect
open sdversaries rather than that you should elect
men from whom you have TO ask pledges and guar
anees. An open defeat is far preferable 10 hunais-
ton by treschery after the victory has been nominay
achieved. You have found, az your fellow Republf-
cans did In the recent contest in Congress- that those
who not with us are practically against Let
be moderate, conciliatng but selfrelant and firm
as the rock of truth upon which we stand. The Re-
publican party will then not only hold in check the
show by tie firm, patriotic, and constitutional admin
istration Of the Government that neither the wrongs
nor insults of the past and tia present induce C
10 impair OF invade in the least the rights of any Stste
or section of our common country.
