the truth. We take the following extract
from . speech delivered by him at Buffalo,
New York, October 30, 1859, to illustrate
his contempt for the party with which he
is now associated: Boosting . creed Of

sarcastic Abolition poet, that
"It's we'll enough again King
To draw revolver and triggers,

DestrWctiUeness is written upon every
feature of its phrenOlOgy, and its con-

of debts, the euacting Of registry laws and
kindred curses. In addressing the mass

Is not the above q li(e.like picture Of
the Republican party! Has it not been
skiIIfully and accurately drawn by mas
ter.hand-by one familiar with its teach
ings and wOrkingse Dickinson, whose
early teachings we are following and will
NOT renounce, says, forcibly, correctly and
sarcastically, the Republican party "depo-
SEES judges Of its own party who declare
the Law from the bench, and while pro-
fanely swearing allegiance to the Consti-
tuition, it defes its provisions, resists their
enforcement, and seeks to wage q war Of
irrepreSsible conflict and determination
between children Of the same heritage,
until all shall be- free or all slave States. -"
PropheticaIly spoke Dickinson in 1889 !
The Abolition Republican party is now
waging 80 war Of 'irrepressible conflict
and determination between children Of
the same heritage" and will continue to
wage it until "all shall be free or all slave
States" And the treacherous Dickinson,
with all his influence and ability, is as
sisting the party he SO lately denounced
to carry out the irrCpressible conflict doc
trinel All lOsal Democrats reverence She
Constitution and will not like Dickinson,
affiliate with party that "swears allegi-
ance to the Constitution, yet de6es its
provisions and resists their enforcement"
