I'm Regard 10 ihnt " Republican,"

EDITOR JOURNAL Tine last issue OF tho Downey organ
contained letter signed Republican from Principle
which Is certainly not remarkable for thing unless
TO clearly establish that the author more fully welded
spirit of tIctousnesa than loyalty his Government
will venture to say that he is not Republican and
never was trs his associations for bid my believing that
he IS one now one spark of intelligence docen
Icy would have restrained any loyal man from committing
Isuch piece Of stupidity.
Now Mr. Editor, propose to briefly discuss this Re
Npublcan II rightly understand the presented at
the approaching election there such measure Re
publican would claim principle involved. 1t is sim
ply aqucstion of loyalty or dsl0yayto determine wheth
ir or not we aro to have a Government. do not stot
p inquire what party man belonged to before trait
rs inaugurated civil warbut ia he loyal nowY will he aid
ind support the Administration in ALL its efforts to sun

DR. Clifford and Mr. Kinds hitherto belonged They
allied to represent advance the interests of any po
ltisa faction The platform upon which these gentlemen
ga all other Union men were nominated the Constitution
our common country, without any contra distinction
brtes. And now ask when Republican desires ap
ly his principle The principles or rather measures
the Republican party of 1860 were the inhibition by Con.
fossonal legislation Of Slavery of the Territories
lelonging to the United States The Republican party
tnnained of their cardinal that Congress
dearly and undenaby acquired the right to egate upon
e subject oi slavery in the Territories from the following
dause in the Constitution
The Congress shall have power dispose of and make
needG rules and rsguatone respecting the Territory OF
he United States -
Hence Of the needful rucs and regulations ap
ed to the Territories, the Republican party demanded
mat Congress restrict the introduction of Slavery any
the Territories Since the Congress duly assembled al
made all the needtul rules and regula-
lions for the government Of all the Territories now be
Ionging to the United States, where ask, will " Repub

pdity had remained secret within his conscience shan
10 have paaded il before honest people. IL he desires
ote with the enemies of his country he might have spared
Der bushes for his unworhyness and base deserOn her
lreatest need.
But Mr.. Editor let what kind Of a creature Re
publican is If he is the veritable principle he would
naye US believe then cannot resist the disposition
pronounce him political knave. Nature having stopped
short n her effort eft machess dcformty hideous
political corruptons and eruptionsa running sore on the
body social leprosy only to be known to be avoided
and from which manhood justly shrinks When the angel
nature coea to gather her own each by its name there
Will still be found wanting name for this elipsis.
