"THE .IRREPREsSIRLE CONFLICT, >,

''THE .IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT"
An issue has at length arisen in the Abo-
lition ranks, which bids fair to split that par.
ty IN twain. The ultra ladical-wing, under
the head of Sumner demand that Southern
States captured shall be made territories,
claiming that they have forfeited all rights
as States in the Union. While Frank P
Blair, and other leading Republicans main.
tain that the revolted States shall return to
the Union and occupy the same position
they did previous to the rebellion, hence
there is likely to he an "irrepressible con-
t1ict'' between the two wings, which we bel
lieve will result in a grand split at their
next National Convention in 1864.
Blair intends to be thorn in the sides Of
the radicals. In recent speech made at ST.
Louis, No. he speaks out in the following
emphatic manner:
If my friends, the government of the
State can be displaced at the will Of a set Of
politicians, otherwise than by the forms of
law, we shall sacrifice our republican insttu-
tions. and run down into a sort Of Mexican
Republic where Presidents, Judges, &C., are
made by pronuncamentoes The people of
this State (Missouri.) are not prepared to de-
grade themselves to this standard of govern
ment. We are people who desire that
there shall be stability, dignity and respect
ability in our government. We are all of a
race of people to fight it ont rather than sub
NIT. All these men who are entering upon
this career of rebellion, all these men who
make our great contest for our national ex,
istence degenerate into a revolution like that
which afflicted France in the last century,
these men who are following in the footsteps
Of the .Iacobins Of the French revolution
who are demanding the gulliotne--wbo con-
stitute themselves Judges witnesses and exc
cutioners aliEe--I tell them to beware,-
They will not find a submissive people,
They will find Girordsts of a different
stamp-a Robespierre will never live
(Cbeers)
Their Robespierres and Dantons will never
live to exercise the authority which they GOV
ct, to immediate people who differ from
them in opinions. But they will find them
selves travelling the road to the eallows-
There is no other way to deal with such peo
pie 1t is idle to discuss this question with
men constituted as these men are. Why, it
was related to to me by gentleman whom
| know as thoroughly reliabl,, that be held
a conversation the other day with man
who belongs now to this Jacobn faction that
| once knew to be one of the most temper
ate, wise, and srgacious men in this State,
but that man had become SO imbued with
the spirit-the he declared to this gentleman
that 1.-THE opposers OF radicals in this State
must 90 out of the State-that they could
not live in the State together" He said,
also, that "he did not care so much about
the negro" the fact is, he wanted to get rid
Of the negro and the negro question; but the
opposers of the radical party, their oppo,
nents-their enemies, as he described them
-must 90 out of the State.
Now, my friends, it is about time to see
who will 90 out of this State. (Appause)
For my part. when they commence that overt
act of expelling those men who are opposed
to their fanatical and revolutionary doctrines
| shall feel inclined wherever NAV be on
the face of this earth, shall feel inclined to
come back to this State and try the issue
with them. (Applause)
Lincoln and Chase are the opposing can
didates for the nomination of President, and
already the war between their freinds begins
to wax warm. Soon the question will be
asked among the Abolitionsts which masfl
er will We serve" The Blair wing are evi'
IDENTIFY occupying ground upon which the
democracy have stood in relation to this
question. Perhaps it is WELL out of these
differences may come relief to an oppressed
and outraged people, vindicating their
rights, and status under the constitution
of their country If so, God speed the day.
