sltion Ia the South. This compromise
did not take from the people of the North
/ h angle righe--is did not change she spis-
liz Of aha Constitution but It's adoption
would have preserved both the Oonstltu-
tion and the Union. Why we ask again,
wa4 net Tie Compromise adopted and waR
prsvsntsd The answer ID plaih, The
Republicans did not wish to uphold the
Constitution nor TO psFpetaass the Union
With tho institution Of slavery, protected
by aas formss, and existing Ia TIE lat
Ter.
Ths fanatical portion Of the Rapuhli-
can party desired to abolish slavery on
religious groanda. The speculative apd
oaaos hunting portion Of the party, dssir,
ed 70 overthrow the institasion 40 ~ 10
weaken the southern representation, &C
tAas they could perpesuats shsir power
and rule over the Union. The two fac,
tiuus of that party united to defeat al
. compromise and TO bring oa the war bu
With different views and objeess--shs arst
bad . religious, and the second poiiti
cal object In view. The two we're, bow
ever, determined eithar to abolish SLAYER,
! or divide the UnioH, and 10 that end hal
! all their efforts been dressed.
II Ii they could abolish slavery and dimin
ish the representation of the SoushsIi
States, the specializing and once seeking
portion Of the party vainly supposed sAa
shsiE poEsieAl asOeadaney would BE- mad
! psrtual, and 10 accomplish this objeo
7 they refused to listen 10 all plans Of com
J promise, and pursued course CALCULATES
= to bring on callission bSsweeo the NortI
and South.
II Do they new suppose that the North an
I Soath will ever be united ? Nov afte
they have succeeded in Inducing the Pres
j idslst 10 isaus proclamation Of eananei
! patton, do they suppose shat the Uniol
! will ever be reconstructed, or the author
! itg Of the Federal Government ever b
II acknowledged by the seeding Statssf
! IL We can can put any reliance in th
assertions Of their political leaders, the.
certainly never sxpeet TO see the Uniol
4 restored. They believe that the indie
I pandenee Of the Southern OonfsderAes
I will be acknowledged, and thsy are nos
! carrying On the war for plundR and Il

the unanimuas vote OF the Republican
