NOT 10 DC ignored
The Baltimore Patriot Bell and Everett)
says:
The greatest obstacle to the success OF Col.
Bell and Mr.. Everett il the platform on which
they were placed. Their Union nomnators
committed serious error in this particular,
in our humble judgment. They furnished
the opponents OF the ticket with a powerful
weapon Of assault.
To show the use of it, we quote, Just here,
an extract from q speech made on the Let in
slant, at Verandah Hall, in St. Louis, by the
celebrated German. English Republican ora.
tor, Carl SEIZURE. Hear him:
'tLet US pass in review our political par
ties, and the remedies they propose.
Here We encounter the Union party, with
Bell and Everett, who tell us the best way to
settle the conflict 10 TO ignore it. Laughter !
Ignore il Ignore it, when attempts are
made to plunge the country into war and
disgrace, for the purpose OF slavery extern.
sion! Ignore it, when slavery and free labor
wage their fierce war about the possession of
the national domain! Ignore il, when the
liberties of speech and the press are attacked!
Ignore it, when the actual settler claims the
virgin soil, and the STAKEHOLDER capitalists
claim IL also Ignore it, when the planting
interests seek TO establish and maintain its
exclusive supremacy in our economical pol
icy. Ignore il, indeed Ignore the FIRE that
consumes the corner post OF your house,
Ignore the storm that breaks the rudder and
tears to tatters the sails of your ship Con-
jnre the revolted elements with meek Mount
Vernon lecture Pour upon the furious
waves the placid oil of a quotation from
Washington's Farewell Address. [Cheers
and laughter
1t is trus.they tell us..they will enforce the
laws and the Constitution. Well enough
But whas laws? Those that free labor de.
mands, or those that slavery give sus? What
Constitution? That of Washington and
Madison, or that of Slideli, Douglas and
fancy. Loud and long continued cheering. i
The conflict stands there with the stub
born, brutal force Of reality. However sc.
verey lit may disturb the nerves of timid
gentlemen, there il stands and speaks the
hard, stern language Of fact. l understand
well that great problems and responsibilities
should be approached with care and caution
| But times like these demand the arm actor
Of men who know what they will, AsD WILL
| IT."
