Union
Ben Wade, U. S. Senator from Ohio, in a
speech at Republican mass meeting in 1854
in the city of Portland, Maine, said:
There is no freedom at the South for either
white or black and he would strive to pro-
t@ct the ee soil of the North from the same
blghting curse. There ives realiy now no
unso betaceen the North and the South, and
he believed no two nations upon the earth
entertained feelings Of more bitter rancor
toward each other than these sections of the
Republic. The only salvation for the Union,
therefore, was to be found in divesting it of
all faint Of slavery. There ros no union
Nth the South. Let US have a Union, or let
Union. 20 for Union where all men are
equal, or for no Union at all, and 60 for
right.
The same party, in convention held in
Boston in 1855, by unanimous vote, adopted
the following resolutions:
Is Resolved, That the Constitution which
provided for slave representation, and a
slave oligarchy in Congress which legalizes
slave hunting and slave catching on every
inch of American soil, and which pledges the
military and naval power of the country tt
keep our millions Of chattel slaves IN their
chains, is to be trodden under foot and
pronounced accursed however unexception
able or valuable may be it's other provisions.
l6. Resolvcd, That the only great issue
before the country is the dissolution Of the
Union; in comparison oil other issues with the
slave-power, are dust in the balance there
fore we will give ourselves to the work Of
annullng this 'covenent with DEATH as es.
sential to our own innocency, and the speedy
ard everlasting overthrow of the slave sys
tenn.
In 1856, flags and transparencies all over
the North, wore carried by this party, with
but sixteen stars, emblematic of a Northern
confederacy of sixteen FREQ States. Hannibal
Hamlin and Lot NJ Morrill,, one Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and the other Uni
ted Senator from Maine, addressed q Ere.
mont meeting at Norway, Nc, standing un.
der flag with sixteen stars.
The disunion flag, with sirteen stars only
still sontinues to float over the public high
way in this village, an emblem Of secession
ism, and disgrace to the party that placed
it there Norway Advocate. -
"The Portland State of Maine has hung
out Fremont and Dayton flag on which
are only sixteen stars"
"a salute of sixteen guns were fred on the
day that Hamlin was nominated for Cover.

Judge Spalding, one of tho leaders of the
Republican party in Ohio, said
In case of the alternative being presented
of tho continuance Of slavery or dissolution
of the Union. am for dissolution, and / care
not how quick it comes
N. P. Banks, said:
am not ono of that class of men who cry
for the perpetua,ion of the Union, though l
am willing, in q certain state of circumstan-
ces to let it slide.
James Watson Webb, a Republican lea.
der said in the Philadelphia Convention
Our people come together from all parts of
the Union and ask us to give them nomi-
nation, which, when fairly put before the
people, will unite public sentiment, and
through the ballot-box will restrain and re-.
pei this pro slavery extension, and this ag-
gresson Of the slaye-ocracy. What else are
they doing! They tell you that they are
willing to abide by the ballot.hox and will
ling to make that the last appeal. If they
fail there uhat then WE WILL DRIVE IT
BACK SWORD IN HAND, AND SO HELP Us GoD.
hnson Burlingama, in the House of Repre-
sentatyes, in 1856, said. aaa r.s ,.
Tho times demand, and we must have an
antt-slaucry constitution, an anti-slauery Bible
and an anti-slavery God -.
We might add extracts from nearly every
leading Republican in the land, of a similar
character but it Is useless. Now we submit
that party whose leaders have uttered
such language, and their sentiments have
been endorsed by the party in electing such
men to Office, that they have no right to
charge disloyalty to the Democrats, who have
ever stood by their country and battlcd nobly
for the Constitution and the Union.
AFRAID THE WAR NAY END.
The followine Infamous sentiment, from
the Amti Slavery Standar d illustrates the
spirit which animates the radical party:
ave cannot think there is any appreciable
ground for fear that the rebels, warned of
the impending fate of the diabolic al institu-
ton for which they have made war, will
clay down the weapons of the rebellion" be-
fore the end of the "days of grace'' accorded
them by the President, and thus drag the
~
death and the agreement with hell" which
has been the source of all our woes. If the
President had issued such proclamation
one year ago, there might indeed have been
some danger Of euch disgracefal termina.
