THIS nation can never be successfully
governed under the ideas and according to
the views of the right, wrong or expediency,
of single section. Unless all sections can
have full expression of their views, due
weight in the enactment of laws, and just
protection for all their interests in the ma
tional councils, we can have no national
harmony and no national progress-in short,
no true national existence. Every day that
the war is prolonged to give undue preemi-
hence to the will of a section puts off the
time when we may hope again to resume
our once proud place among the nations of
the earth. New England cannot give laws
to America, but in striving to do so she may
easily destroy her own hopes and the flu
ture of the country wherein she legitimate
ly occupies position high enough to salts
fly any ambition not from "the lower

The weapon most relied upon by the Re-
publicans in political contests is personal
Islander and defamation. But if majority
of votes can be controlled by such tactics
American voters are mesner and less sensi

this way Of conducting canvass. The
New York Express says, speaking of this
subject:

Of fanaticism, that it really believes every

HERE is the Abolition war against sla-
very, bald and naked. It is from speech
by Col. Stone, Republican candidate for
Governor of Iowa: =. -
s'This war should never be allowed to
come to an end, no peace ought to be made,
no proposition for peace ought to be dis
cussed or entertained, until the last vesttge
Of Slavery is aciped out. Therefore, my
friends, make up your minds to give up
your last son, and pay your last dollar in
taxes, until the last szave is free; for until
that is accomplished, there will be, there
ought to be, no peace"
Compare this fruition with the bud I'M
yelled in the following observations, taken
from the Tribune of July rs, 1854, and who
can then say that the conservative warn
ipgs of papers like the Courier have been
"croakings" and "bugaboos" and "false cries
of wolf2" We are to pay and to bleed, not
for the UNION, but for the NEGRO;
eve contend" said the Tribune, "that
the abolition of slavery in the States is the
realobj of the Republican party.
Admit that abolition in the States is
what all men ought to strive for, and it is
clear to our mind that large majority are
not prepared for this, and the practical
question is this: Shall We politically at
tempt what will certainly involve us in de-
feat and failure? or shall we not rather at
tempt that which a majority ARE ripe for,
and thus, by our consequent triumph. In
vite that majority to 60 further? Shall we
insist on having all the possible eggs now,
or be content to await their appearance day

rational, sensible course. We care not how

sentiment in the North for Emancipation

The Springfield Meeting.

The mass meeting to which Mr.. Lincoln
addressed his famous letter does not seem
to have been a very reputable assemblage
and we fancy that some Of the "Govern
meut's" choice anecdotes would have been
more highly relished than his lucubrations
about "Uncle Sans web feet" Thus, Sen.
ator Chandler favored his hearers with this
style of historical narrative:
Seen. Jackson said: Dare to lift your
finger against the Uniled States Govern
ment, and, by Cd, I will hang you"
But they said: There are Calhoun and
cDufy; they are honorable men; can't
their feelings be spared?' The old hero
said, Gentlemen, there is the warrant for
the arrest of John G. Calhoun Cheers.
When, subsequently. these friends Went to
Calhoun, and told him that Jackson had
said he would hang him if drop of blood
was shed in South Carolina, he replied,
Then, by God he will do it y
Here is another specimen:
"They feel ve-y much like the man who
offered to bet hundred dollars that us
Eorse could outrun any horse that could he
brought on. A man who heard the banter,
offered to run an OK against him for hum
dred dollars. Laughter. The man re-
Piled, 81 will run any horse you can bring
on, but don't know what your id old OK

And here is one from the speech of Gen.
Oglesby:
1--WE ale ready for CopperheRls today
and this hour. We are ready for them in
our States, our cities, and in our streets
we will stand up fair and square to them;
and tell them to come on; we are the men

We would commend these extracts to
the Foreign Minister'S who find so much
to admire in the religious character of our
worthy rulers. Such talk may suit the

DEMOCRATS, when they dislike law, still
obey it, and agitate for its repeal. When
Republicans dislike law they denounce
obedience to it as a moral iniquity, and seek
to null:fy it, or abolish it by force. This is
the fundamental difference between the two
parties. With the principles of the Democ
racy, free country may be raised to the
height of greatness and prosperity; two
years of the rule of Republcanism have
spread ruin and devastation over CONT
nent.
