iet Slavery take care Of itself'-
That's our platform ON the slavery
question, and it is not the platform
of the abolitionists, to whom the
Republicans are constantly pander.
ing"
The great mass ofthe Republi-
can party view the relation of slav.
cry to the war Just as Gen. Lane
expresses il. They have no scheme
of general cmaucipation-they are
not catering to abolitionists-tley
simply desire to prosecute the war
in such a manner as is best calcu
lated to suppress the rebellion and
save tho constitution. If in any
locality slavery stands in tho way
# the preservation Of the constitu.
tion, strike it down as we would
strike down any other obstacle
not because it is slavery, but be.
cause il aids the rebellion, discom.
fits loyal men and jeopardizes the
Union. 1t is time that this sense
less clamor against the Republi
cans as intending to porvcrt the oh
iects of the war was stopped, sine,
it tends to impede efforts made t
save the country and is entire
Ily devoid of truth. Under IN,
most favorable circumstances slav
cry must suflSr, and that seriousl,
| from the war.
The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1861-11-08
COL. t5. ID. RAKER

In person, the late Col. Bakel
was erect and commanding. HE
features were regular in outline,
and genial and refined in expires,
sion; his eye blue and keen; bis
clean shayen face rosy with health.
Tho top of his head was bald, and
his scant hair considerably gray
His voice was rather sharp and pc
culiar, and though not loud and
boisterous in his oratory, few Sena-
tors could be so well understood in
the galleries. We clip the follow
ing reminiscence of tho fallen hero
from the Cincinnati Commercial:
The writer met Colonel Baker in
June last, on a steamer going from
Baltimore TO Fortress Monroe. lie
said he did not expect TO survive
the war; that, in his Judgment,
he never should see the shores OF
the Pacific again. This was hard
ly so much a presentiment on his
part as a calculation. He said the
troops were green, and it would be
necessary for the officers TO expose
themselves. He had seen service,
and would feel it duty to lead his
regiment. The enemy had plenty
of sharpshooters, and he presumed
they would pick him off. He said
he believed it would be his fate to
die at the head of his regiment
and so he died.
II may illustrate the temper and
of the man TO mention,
that, after saying with as perfect
calmness as he could have named
the most trivial circumstance, that
ho believed it would be his fate to
fall in battle, and that he should
never see his home on the Pacific
again, he retired from the guards
where he had engaged in eonversa-
ton, to the cabin, and seated him
self at tine piano, played with grace
and skill remarkable for q gentlo-
man amateur on that instrument, /
several touching airs, among them
hat iagorite ofthe English soldiers
before Sebastapol--Bweet and
nonrnful Annie Laurie. 7
