The Dividing Lime.

A respected correspondent asks
us to state the dividing line be-
tween the republican and the dem
ocratic parties, and where they
differ.
Twenty years ago, when the re-
publican party was formed, the
great question between it and the
democratic party was th > extern
sion of slavery. The democratic
party, constituting strictly the Con-
stitution as it then was, believed
in maintaining the institution of
negro bondage. According to the
compromises Of that Constitution,
they believed in catching and re-
turning slaves who had fed from
their owners and many among
them, like Mr.. Charles O'Coror,
contended that every citizen of a
slave-holding State bad a right to
take his slaves with him into the
Territories of the United States,
and to keep them there in slavery !;
and, in effect, to plant slavery in
those Territories. The republican
party was organized to resist this
view of the subject, and to exclude
slavery from the new Territories (;
but il did not then propose to
abolish slavery 10 any State where
1t was legally established. AT that
time, this question of slavery ex-
tension formed the only dividing
line between the two parties.
Bot when in 1861 the Southern
States, starting from the election
OF republican President pledged
against the extension Of slavery,
seeded, establishing q new gov
eminent for themselves, and
making war upon the United
States, then the dividing line be.
came changed. Indeed, we may
say IL became obliterated BY the
conflict, the bloOd-shed, and the
Gre Of the civil war. The republi-
can party went on from resistance
10 The extension 81 slavery to hos
tilily Against slavery itself, and
finally 70 its abolition through the
emancipation proclamation Of
President Lincoln, and the thir-
teenth amendment To the national
Constitution.
Against these measures, the
democratic party, though 81 bot
tom deeply dissatisfied with them,
set lid DO real resistance Id fact,
ii may DO said that there was then
only ono party ID The Union, SO
