Our fathers were not the allies, support
ers, Or defenders of slavery its extension aud
perpetuation. They were pledged--like

It. Not SO of the modern, new light Demo-
cracy, pledged to the contrary.

The principles and policy Of the modern
party are always known by the demands of
the South, and of their file leaders, for leg
islation in behalf Of slavery and the slave
power. In 1880, Calhcdn, as the mouth
1 piece Of the party, said 49,, :. Z -s'-

at issue. The North must concede to the

I When, Brother G. have the Republican
abolitionists said-'the South must cease
to agitate the slave question, abolitionism,
