Year: 1859

Mr.. f. D. Morgan, whom we believe to be
the governor of the State of New York, and
twenty three other individuals, of whom Cas-
sius M. Clay, the black-republican candidate
for governor in kentucky who got ONE vote, is
the last mentioned, have issued circular, in
the name of the republican national committee,
inviting their black-republican friends through
out the country to Consultation and prehmna-
ry action in regard to the approaching struggle
for the presidency"


more doletul, wishy- washy, ard menda-
cious document we never read than this sum
mons to 'the faithful of the black-republican
party. As is usual in all the publications of
that unscrupulous faction, the great rallying
cry is resistance to the aggressions of the
slave power" and the principal ingredient is
foul mouthed abuse and calumnious Vitupera-
ton of the Administration and the democratic
party. In the absence of Kansas outrages, and
in the worn-out, dilapidated condition Of the
other implements Of c!ap-trap which the repub-
Leans have ceaselessly used to delnde the peo-
pie into giving them possession of the power to
deprive the country Of selEgovernment, and
subject it to the tyranny of a batch of needy,
actious politicians, Mr.. Morgan and his broth
er committee men have the bare faced audacity
to tell the countr5 that the democratic party is
seeking "the establishment and protection Of
slavery in the Territories, and the revival Of
the African slave-trade" With full knowl-
edge of the fact that despite the factious com
binations and all the unprincipled efforts to the
contrary of the black republicans, the democrat
ic party has established the great principle Of
popular sovereignty in the Te' ritories, whereby
the people thereof can with perfect freedom de-
eide the question of slavery for themselves when
they form their fundamental law, and can
adopt or reject it as they see fit; that the dem
ocratic party, as body, are decidedly opposed
to the enactment of slave codes; and that the
revival of the African slave-trade is opposed by
nine. tenths Of the democrats of the Union-i in
the South as we'll as in the North-these mis-
erable batfied tricksters have the hardhood to
state that the democratic party is in favor Of
both these measures.


They tell the people that upon no organiza-
ton except that of the republican party can
the country rely for the correction ofgross abu-
ses;;" but they do not dare to announce the
principles Of that organization or its aims and
purposes. They do not dare to avow that they
want to dissolve the Union in order to consti
tute sectional government ofwhich they may
set the control, and carry out the odious, treas
enable doctrines enunciated by their chiefs,
Joshua r. Giddings and William II. Seward
The circular is entirely silent as to the policy
and measures which its authors propose to pur-
sue and recommend. 1t is only explicit when
it urges tho effective organization" of the
black republican party; the circulation OF black
republican documents slandering 'thc princi-
pies and policy Of the Administrations" the
making of black republican stump speeches; "a
large and general increase" of black-republcan
journals; and the subscription of IAN adequate
amount OF money" to give practical effect to
these sugge itons," and secure a black.republi-
can triumph in 1860.


1t is probable that Governor Morgan had a
large share in the authorship of the circular,
and that it was by his advice all allusion of a
particular nature to the new black republican
platform was omitted. 1t would be exceeding
" nconyeniept for black republican governor
ol the state oil New York to ask for popular
support on the ground ofprinciple or in return
for past services. In no State in the Union
does there exist more overwhelming proof OF
the prohgacy and tyranny Of the black republic
cans than in the Empire State. When they
