From TIE Danvire IN Republican FEB. ~.
"SrAHD FIRM."-This seems 10 be the watchword
of the true and brave all over the great West.
Last week we were in Springfield and coming in con-
tact with men from all parts of the West and especially
with our own State officers, and he members OF our
State Legislature, we were deeply impress ed by the
earnest in which almost every person urged the
Injunction TO stand frm.

Among Republicans, we know OF bnt one IN the
county who is in the least disposed yield point IN
Chicago Platform. For him, we can count many
Democrats who will sustain us in standing hrmly py
our platform Besides what will it profit the Union,
If now concede all that the Border States demand
Will that preserve the Union? No
From The Minnesota (Cbafed) Republican, Feb l3 =,
Il il ANYTHING but naked, insulting demand oy the
South that the North sbal surrender her rights, sur
render her thoughts and opinions, exchange for
the offered that Southern robbers ana TRAITORS
i'll continue 10 live with in the Union The noo-
Iious thief caught stealing bis neighbors properly
might with equal decency say to the owner, heeP
quiet let compromise; you submit to the ROBBERY
and Just change your mind and believe IT all rlgh,
and will come and reside with you. MOST people
would say that that was most impudent thiei, ana
most people see that the Southern traitors nave JUST
the impudence Of that thief standing in the same ea-
tive position, and urging similar compromise, like
jug-handle all on one side
From The Fall River News Feb. 10.
We hail the failure Of every attempt at compromise
thus far as an escape from national degradation ana
consequent infamy. We have in our humble capacity
opposed all the compromises introduced, from honest
convictions Of duty, and from deep and Interchangeable
love Of the Union which our fathers constructed The
South in the pleDitude of its nsolence has declared
that the day of compromises is past" let the North
reierate the hacknied sentiment aud the winter OF
our national discomfort" will give place to brilliant
Summer.
From The Putnam County Free Press Feb. IS.
We think in view Of these things, that there will
be more Republicans found in the country at the next
election than before. The honest portion OF the
rank and file of this modern Democratic party which
is striving to Aricanize our immense possessions De,
tween the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountaina, will
abandon it, enter the Republican party, and battle
for Washington's, Jeferson's, and Madson's creed,
theory and policy Of guaranteeing our territories 10
the occupation of the white race to which they ng9t
fully belong and by which their resources can only lie
fully developed. History records the name OF no ma,
ton in the Old World in which Slavery long existed
that it did not run and such will be the late OF our
own if this relic of barbarous and benghted age
Sayery-sha continue to spread over our country Tor
the next hundred years.
From The Pt,burs Journal FEB. 49,.
The Republican party may be defeated, the cause OF
Freedom betrayed, but Nature and Natures God re-
main the same The elements of destruction 10 human
Slavery which have been brought into being and be-
come more active each year Of time will not be put
back or made less powerfully any human compromise,
however made. The Border States know this, and at
heart do not want TO put back that chariot OF
which is bearing their burden away and giving them
the promi,e Of glorious time. Look at Missouri In
ten years she has gained 100000 whites, and only
0j0 lilac ks. DO you think she can remain Slave
STATED 1t is literally impossible. Your "oonserva-
tves" las they love to cali themselves), and the Con-
gressons Compromises, oil mistake their time, and
their own interests, when they endeavor 10 get up
scheme of compromise which, by concedng too much,
makes the conflict perpetual, and can only end in
violent conyulrioD.
