THe Republican lagty believe in cerpIn prinosptts

We say the old Consiy riOn it is, If good enough
for it for the thers who framed It, and tn2e

YG may compromise, and conclliae as you WILL 'pe
gr0 { struggle must come. Can we meet IL to-Horfo"
be ter than to-day We judge not. Why shrink from
it For our part desire this Slavery question
ettle5 now and forever let us know which OF the
great industrial intcres s-fee serN Niesha rule the
country. If the North will stand by their interests 's
they deserve we are safe, but II we falter, ii
we secede from wel-dehDed and Just principles,
ali ia gone What is the duty of Republicans 10 such
crisisI Is TO listen to the suggesons OF political O
ponents or to carry ont our own CONVICTIONS lsn
listen to the demands of traitors and armed rebels
against the Government and their sympathizers in the
border States is il simply TO take the Constitution
as basis upon which all interests unlte and obedl
en,e 10 the laws, North and SOUTH "a the only eoneli
ton one portion Of the country can demand OF the
other.
From The Stalk County CO) Republican, Feb. H.
But on the other hand, what shall we lose Ire
| answer is brief and comprehensive. III we compro-
mise we have let neither Government nor RepuD'
Hcan narty The Government will ave been dcmoral-
ized by having been dehed, inslted, and humiated
with impunty The party will have been debased
humlaled and destroyed. And what Is the Union
worth which Is preserved by the sacilhee demanded by
the Slave States Yield and yOu may restore II. Bat
what IL it when restored mere rope Of rand,
voluntary league from which any member If at liberty
10 retire and then dictate the terms on which 1t VIII
come back-a wretched sham, poor pretense oil a
nation which any member may destroy 1T ia pleasure,
and with impuuiy 10 the recovered States promise
TO secede 10 more Oh, mol They may se'ede to-
morrow, next year, ten years hence. And they VIII
do it, whenever they wish to secure cheishtd object
or 20 defy the national authority And it j. for such
Union for such wOTse than worthless psulis, that
compromise is advocated. The Democracy are not 10
she'd tear II eyes are 10 be wet ere to wet them
ii confessions to be made, we are To make Them;
we are 10 have all the grief, and the oher side ali the

Here the ssions We are IN favor OF, IN Sc
riattm
/ We want the Southern States 20 eoncede thai
j. Government indeed, and not mere compact be-
tween States
9. We want them 10 concede that State cannot dia
solve it's connection with tls Union at Its own pleas
3. We want them to conrede that this Government
has a night 10 enforce is laws and protect Its property
T. We want them TO cOncede that II Is the duty OF
this Government 10 retahe IRON Southern TAcIr I1s
stolen forts and artenals.
5. We want them TO c0ncede that Old ABE was con-
sti.uiOnally elected and has rght 10 take his seat.
4 We want them 10 conCede that the seeding States
have violated the Constitution, and, while they are in
armed rebellion Against its authority it IL the duty Of
tlis Government to put that rebellion down.
7. We want them to concede t1dt the taking OF ne

And in demanding all these thngr, do We ak the

| Even Ihe deliberate AMI ciullOls Seward up
! and looks down, while Corwin, Adams, and CasruP,
whose rmness and integrity have been tie prtise of
the entire North and our Kellogg, plunge madly
! over What wicked iofatuation il here, provided
these acts performed In good faith IL seemr too
much to believe that they are. The mifera-
4
ethical aud political hilo,ophy all too outrageous
IL there il really any sincerity IN al this tempoLing
and CONF romisug Of principles thai should be 10 every
man dearer than life, they may gain 10 their authors
little nooriety, drvelng pohicians and beso,ted dem
agogues may applaud the deed but the yifluOns people
will cure them. More If thOse who take this leap in
earne,t will ever come out, IL will probably be the
other side. They will never be heard of this side
again.
BY treaty, we may agree that cotton may be shipped
from the ports Of the free and nontecedng siacs 10
Europe aud thus the manufacturing interests Of the
world will have interest in recognizing The South
ern Confederacy or In insihtng on her porte being
kept open. Cotton, now ia being shipped from
the Sontt ern States 10 NewYork, Philadelphia ard
Baltimore on ia way 10 EuroJe. The troubles at
Charleston, Savannah, Pensacola and New-OTleans,
even now have practically closed hose ports While
10 the Union their ports should DC kept open. II this
policy il pursued if the detns Of extending the en-
pre- Of Slavery by conquest Is Defeated il the Of
disunion il thus annibilated, may hope not for
recOn,ruc'iOn but for the continued existence Of the
Union. TLis can be accom- plisbeI in al probability,
without invading army, by blookading the ports Of
Secession States, by protecting our forts and other
Government property, by simp ly executing the laws
and standing on the defensive.
| Nor would this be unjust policy while SeccB ion
IL insisted on The Slave States have teri
tory than can be employed for slave labor in centuries
to come. With lets than third OF the population )f
the Union the Slave States have vastly extent Of
country than the Free States
From The New Hampton Qowa) Courier, Jan a.
SO far as have been able 10 ascertain the sentiments
Of Republicans Of tis county there is but opinion
in relation 10 The Congressional linkoIng at Washing
ton and that is that the Constitution framed by
forefaleTs il good enough il H. II has stood ms
bulwark against foes without ard traitors within for
more than seventy year, and its provisions ample
TO carry through the present storm If faithfully
forced Let Congress attend to the legitimate business
