crat, of the 3D. inst, 1 see a reply to my
structures on DR.. Johns Snecr at "the ig.
morance Of the peopJs Of the back to,on-
Ships," by a fellow who signs himself
"Jefforsonian Republican" "The sigma.
ture is certainly an anomaly. To connect
the name of Jefferson the apostle of De.
mocracy," with modern republican, docs
sound homogeneous. Jefferson the slavehol-
derin union with Ant-slavcry for it needs
but little argument to show, that the lead
ing element in the Republican Party is
A5oltionjSm
In the first place, look at the two most
prominent men at the helm, Sea- rR and
Chase, 1--WE will leave Mr.. Lincoln, out as
Mr.. Richardson says he is an honest man,
if they would let him alone look over the
history of these mems lives for the last
twenty years. Stewards Trreprcssiblo
Conflict" his saying when Lincoln was
elected, we (the Republican Party) will
inaugurate policy that would do away
with slavry. Chase's negro equality speech
in Ohio, when they presented him with
silver pitcher. Again, take the "Helpcr
Book, which says ono man can be true
patriot until he becomes an abolitonist,"
with thousand other saying contrary to
the genius Of our institutions. Now, Mr..
Republican, we will leave Mr. Jefferson
off. Who endorsed and thus recommended
this infamous sectional Book. Is Of your
leading Representatives in Congress. 1t
was sold along with Lincoln's Debates and
was considered orthodox Rcpublicanism.
Again, look at the Foreign appointments.
Who is G. M.Clay, Who rendered himself
so famous recently at Paris Burlingamc,
who was even too much of an 0botitioniA
for Boston to send to Congress, and who
wanted an anti slavery God, Bible, and
Constitution, is just the material for
Foreign Ambassador during the present
reign Of terror. We might speak CT
Carl Shurlz, and others, but this will
suffice to show any reasonable man that 4
party governed by this kind of material,
must in the very nature Of things, be Sec
tional, and come within the category spo-
ken Of by the Father of Lis Country, as
inimical to the perotuation of our liberties.
VIII the gentleman be kind enough to
tell Us the prominent statesmen that par
ticipated in the Philadelphia Convention
from Kentucky and Maryland. Mr., Re-
publican sets himself up against the bred
Scott decision. It is refreshing that in
these days OF anarchy and lawlessncss to
know that We have man in our midst
superior to the Suprcmo Court, the decision
OF this august body, who are, (or were)
the legal cXpouuders OF the Constitution
may in all future time beiguorcd seeing they
have been set aside by such profound aLi-
ity. How quick these small fish fall
in the wake of their leaders as soon as
"GI00 (their present spoakor) speaks of
the Judges as 4 set of old graunies." We
hear a perfect howl from all the small fry,
in regard to the "Iilssom Compromise"
Who introduced the bill for its repeal
Mr.. Douglas Nothcrs man. 1t was
repealed by votes North and South. Was
that Secti0HaI? If this were sufficient OK
cuse for the formation of your sectional
party, why in the name of common homes
ty did not the leaders of your party 90 in
for the "Crsteaoen ComPromiSe," and
have it eugraftod in the Constitution, and
thus have taken the subject out OF Con.
gress? The reason suppose is his party
based upon the idea Of aLolii0g in all
the common domain, equality Of the North
and South ia the territories would have
been the death kncll to the Chicago Plat-
farm, that being paramount to the inter-
est of the whole country, now bleeding at
every pore.
His reference to Southern statesmen
amounts to nothing, Look at their whole
lives, How sensitive they were when the
North intcrlered with their domestic insti-
tutions, There is no doubt had it not been
for the Abolition societies, underground
railroad and negro concealers, some of the
Border States, ere this, would have freed
their slaves, But the idea of one section
debating to the other what they may do,
and what they may not do; what kind of
property they shall take into the Tcrritor-
les, is what has contributed full share to
our troubles. These are the men that
come in for their portion of the infamy the
gentleman speaks of in conclusion, as
pirates, &C., &c. l have little sympathy
