Republicans Turned Doughfaces.

[
The following article we clip from the
Madison Patriot:
when Republcanism was in its nfan-
cy, the it,le bantling used TO cast many
| serious reflections On the Democrats =
Whenever the Democrats voted in accord
ance with their oaths, to give the South
| their constitutional rights, their doughty
opponents cried Doughfaces' When the
Democracy voted, in strict consonsnce with
| the express requirements of the constitu-
lion, for the Fugitive Slave Law, the Re
publicans bawled out Douglfaces' So
when the compromise measures of 1850,
were passed, our opponents howlcd Dough
faces In fact, every vote given by
Northern Democrat, not alb ol1teIy in VIC
la,ion of southern constitutional rights,
has been mathematical by the cry Of
Doughfaceism.'
The Republican party, especially in
this State, were vhistIed into existance by
| abolition fanatics, on their assumed hostil
ity to the Fugitive Slave law. In all forms
and shapes-in season and out of season.
! they have denounced that law, clamored
ard reS0lUed in favor Of It's unconditional
repeal! We well recoIect, about the
lime the Republican party was organized,
how eloquent the gallant Rev Maj. EG-
GLEToy was in denouncing that law-call-
| ing it the scum and sum Of all villain,
and the calumination of Siayery's most
damnable and poisonous miasma. Now,
where will you find the valiant Rev Maj?
| Where is lie now? lie is down on his
knees, like other aboitiom;sts, doing rev.
GRANGE 10 that same scum Of yiIaiuies,'
in Advocating the election of one Of its
strongest advocates In short. he is one
Of the rotten rail carriers. Well, lie has
Alright to be. This is free country, and
We can see 10 reason to deprive political
Diviues the privilege Of arrant inconsis-
tency, when Others, Of less preten,ions, Gu
| joy like immunity.
" We understand that the Rev. Father
BEEcHER has little more self respect, and
| although he raised Ii coins name i'll his
independent, on reflection lie ,az.d it down
again. BeEcHER 10 doubt thiuks, that
after so vehemently denouncing the Flu
gitive Slave Law, it would hardly look
ike the clean part Of consistency to sus-
tain one Of its strongest advocates But
not so, with the Rev. Major, the Free
Democrat end other abolition sheets, that
have scarcely done anything else fr sew
eral years than denounce that law and all
WHO favored, or would not violate it; they
think ii pofttic to oppose the Democracy
at all hazar,ls, nor do they stop to can
vass the means if they can only arrive at
the Ell DIS, to wit, the spoils Of Office y
Fugitive Slave Law man is how just rs
good for them as the most ra!il and bla-
,ant s,hnlitionist. Sew RID was anti Fugi
i've Slave Law. They could not tolerate
SEWARD. Even tefore the Convention the
Free Democrat cut loose from SEWARD,
and advocated BATES, an out and out slave
law man, because that sheet wanted one
who could pick up the votes in the interest
Of that law along the vicinity Of Mason d
D.xon's line. 1t is we'll known that the
great mass of the people Of Indiana, New
jersey, pent -ylyana, and the southern
portions of Ohio, Illinois anl Iowa are in
favor of the fugitive slave law, almost to
a man. 1t was said that SEWARD could
not get this vote. In fact, this was the
strongest argument used against him
at Chicago, and the ranpants clanor
ed for man well known to be in favor of
that law, declaring that they could more
easily obtain the abolition vote for such
man than they could the slave vote for an
abolitionist of the SEWARD stripe.
"Some people may consider this poor
compliment to the integrity of the aboli
tionists but nevertheless, it was the argu-
ment used, and not without its effect
1--WE hope now, that the Rev. Major
| EGGLEsroN, and the ahoitionsts of that
ilk. will turn their attention particularly
to the study of Doughfaceism, or the pan
dering to southern Influences for votes.-
They will find it an interesting study, and
no doubt many fossil specimens will turn
up to assist their sub;erranean political
searches.
LET 7MEM TRY IT.-Alluding to the
threat of the Republicans in Congress, to
prevent the passage Of any bills for meet
iup the wants of Government. unless their
