Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1860-10-24


Joshua r. Giddings, ofOhio, in speech
in the House of Representatives, May IL,
1854, said:
"Mr. Chairman, it has becDme obvious
to all that these conflicting institutions of
freedom and slavery cannot flourish to-
gether under the same Government.--
Thcyean never be reconciled. They ev-
er have been, they are now and ever will
be, at ,ear nth each other. Virtue and crime
will not commingle; Heaven ana hell can
not be at peace"
The Rev. Edmund II. Sears is an ardent
black republican, lie preached sermon
on the 18th of June, 1856, for the cause,
which was afterwards published as repnb
lican campaign document. From that
sermon, thus endorsed, we quote:
There is no peace for the country, no
safety for institutions, until slavery is dis.
lodged from the national organism until
the Government of the country is welded
for liberty, righteousness, and civilization,
and not for oppression, unrighteousness,
and bnrbarsm"
The Hon. John Wentworth, an ex.
member of Congress from Illinois. and at
present the black republican mayor of
Chicago, in an article IN his paper, the
Chicago Democrat, glorifying over Frank
Blair's election in st. Louis, says:
"While the great doctrine of the duty
OF the Federal Government to make the
States all free thus receives endorsement
in slave holding State, shall the repub-
licans of the free States lower their stand,
ard of principle?
The day of compromising, half way
measures has gone by. The year ofjubi.
lee has come. Already is the child born
who shall live to see the last shackle fall
from the limbs of the slaves on this con-
tirent Universal emancipation is near
at hand. The Republicans have thrown
their banners TO the breeze, inscribed with
Lincoln's glorious words, The States must
: be made all free.' and under it will march
: on TO victory after victory, conquering
and to conquer"
; This doctrine also leads 20 the 'lonl
, and bloody road" of abolition. IT, indeed
2 there be an irrepressib!e conflict between
! slavery and freedom it, indeed, this be
the issue in cor fict; if, indeed, tho one
9 or the other must triumph and the olhel
/ be crushed out, then, as a matter Of Sc.
offence, those so believing, whenever they
get into power wlli weld all that powe
10 crush out and trample under foot az
