THE DUTY OF TRUE MEN
The events of the thirteenth of
March. have clearly revealed to the
minds of men the least hopeful, that
there, is, when called into service,
enough of moral energy, patriotism,
and humanity in the hearts of the . Yo
leis of New Hampshire, to redeem
her from political despotism and degre
dation. Tu-day tyranny dues not par
alyze her heart nor bind her free limbs.
Serviles and traitors are in the dust,
and the strong arms of free men bear
Ella. her banner. Thanksgivings are
heard all along her hills and valleys.
"Tile mountains break forth into sing
ing, a.id the trees clap their hands."
But while the victory line been gha
t-let:sly woti, the foe is not yet annihi
hti!d. Other battles are vet to be
aught, and the Reptiblicans of our
State must not repose in fancied seen-
My, We mtht watchfully • prepare
f u r the future, or before another win
ter the results of the victor y will be
in jeopardy_ Every method of mis
representation will be resorted to, alid
if any vulnerable point in Can action
of the coming Letr,i,lature, than Le
discovered, whether it 'be imaginary
or real, it will be attached with chive
1-4iion. What then should he dune by
:h e free, independent men of the State!
First, and above all:
6TRENG THEN the FREE PRESS.
Other means are useful, but this is
irouhikaitt;d_ Without it nothing can
prevent that relapse to which the pro
slaver: and rum parties look with
hone. The enthusiasm of the recent
campaign cannot be kept up—it is not
needful that it. should lie ; but the set
tled conviction of the people of New
Hampshire, as to the corruption and
utter debasement of the so called Dem
ocratic patty, can be GLitablished. The
public voice. can be made" the intelli
gent and inll&Xible index and advocate
of right action.
If it is sbpposed that the great body
of the old parties is sufficiently inform
ed on the questions of slavery and lib
erty, to make thOr present position
iurulnerable Under all the varied guis
es these snbjeCti ma.y.assume, the mis
take continued will be fatal. The aim
of twenty yours : with the leaders of the
sham Democracy, has been to stimu
late prejudice, inculcate strict devbtien
to party, and foster ignorance ; and
knowledge forc&d into the public
:Lind by most persistent and decided
effort, is now. th& chief basis of action
and of hope. This, however, is by far
too limited for safe reliance. Few are
aware how deficient the masses of the
old parties still are of clear information
on the leading question now before
the American people. 'Their irripuls
es are right, but substantial knowledge
on their civil rights and duties respect
ing slavery, is very limited. Besides,
the admimstration'allies will do their
utmost still farther to, blitla and delude
them, and they will succeed unless the
presses of . freedom are iivilant and"
faithful. .
Organization, VviSdom of action and
of measures,' are very important ; but
liNowt.r.nun is at the bottom of all—
the safety--the hope of all. Make the
public judgment intelligent and the

for the mastery of thc public iizind.
There is now in the'State a: strong
array of presses on the side of freedom.
Having toiled wearily. we can but .re-'
juice iu this auspicious . fact.- : And we
call the attention of Our brethren of
the repUblica'n Press,.to the groat ltd;
portance of a persistent, earnest 'efliirt
in behalf .of • Free Territory for the
great west,. and. of. practical reform of •
existing abuses at home.. If society is
to maintain its ground against slavery,
its presses must lead the Way: "if it is
to behold, its presSes insist be bold'; •
if inflexible, they-must be .inflexible
if 'intelligent,..they_muet • .make : it so.
If they.vacillatg—falter7--grow silent
and acquiescent, all will 'be lost:

its appropriate work, an • imperative
duty • devolves on the people. The
former cannot be vigorous, bold, and
effective, if doomed, to a lean, scanty,.

have an overwhelming majority of the

like. Cromwell's regiments, they must
give the free press , a Wide: and over

Precisely here is now the point of
action ; now, while the public ear 'is
open, the mind alive, and the spirit

steady press, pour knowledge Week

the result is certain and safg,. And.the

NOVEL DISCOURSE. 031 SLAVERY
Correspondenre of at N. V. Tribune
There is residing in this city a quiet
elderly gentleman of retired habits
;Ind moderate who is a native
and long a resident of the South, and
who tells me he cover was north of
Mason and Dixon's line. Somewhat
eccentric, and always pointed in his re
marks, I, take pleasure in his com
ments on public afrairs, and , often seek
ociasion to seduce him 'into' a com
municative mood. Not long since, he
gave me his thcughts on the Slavery.

totally forgotten 'next • week' if: they.
shoulddie.this. , .Iradmit that a reason= .
able arrionneof .talking . and praying is
a good thing toward helping your side
,aloug." But now let me tell yoe that'
what you need' just novilei 'not talking.
and praying Abolitionists, but fighting.
Abolitionists.: -Why,. to turn from
your 'preachers and .lectureii. in'the
North, just go up on Capitol Hill, and
look 'into Congress, when that body is'
in sessidn. You have •searecly got.a
man there whO would Peril his ,poor
'body to. free all the blacks in
.these
States.. That is to Say, nobody who
is ready tojikht against the 'very worst
aggie s s'siona of Slivery.• There are
plenty whO will talk: and declaim
'against it. But what I mean is that
you have got. nobody_ who will resist
what you call `.outrage'_ in either breach
of Congresii except by 'peaceable
means. You had a great many hard
things to say of :the Nebraska bill.
That you termed an ,'outrage' to say
•the least. I never considered it so,
,for I never allow myself to take Parti e
sari views Orr, either side. I thought
it e pretty bold move, but on the'whole
I liked it, it-Was a' gallant dash into
a boasting enemy's camp, spiking his
guns and carrying•off wheap of booty.
Why, my good Sir, don't' you - know
that - Slavery is supported 6y . fightime,
defended by fighting, Spiead by,
ing; that.it.is in:every way a belliger
ent institution,
.pf ileces:jty ; and that
wherever it goes, and wherever ita
advanced guard gees, that therels the
howij-knife and 'the revolver, forcing
lor defending its path ? if you' don't,
you ought to just -turn your eyes to
wards Kansas. Now, to pit em oppo-
I sition of non-resistants and peace men
against. the resolute and eaterrained
engineers Who lead • the van. in • the
great 'enterprise of subduing. a con
tinent to itseiway—what do you think
of it? Don't._ you 'rather gueSs' ouch
prodigious opposition to Slavery will
_ .
I
succeed? .
"By way , of illustrating my meaning
respecting this matter fighting,l would .
ask you what you think would
have been the proceedings of Congress
at the session which passed the Ne
braska bill, is .the case had been re
versed, and the Northern Abolitiouists
had undertrken to break a bar :. ;kiii,
that a certain Territory in the South
should be Aluecholdieg, aed made the
attempt to wr 3st it from the-propagen
da to the s'ervice - tif Freedom ? Where
is the I , orthein Stephens who would
have dared defy a eesolute Southern
minority With his ise , c' irilatiee legerde: -
mein And if such had shown him
self, do you donbt that he would have
been knocked down in his tracks, or
pitched out' of the Hall ibr such an
outrage?' 'You have been in Virath,
inf.:ton some, and ought to . Know.
' . b. ) lis.`„ do you think ? But no matter,
I think we don't disagree en this
pout. No •s:uch measure could have
been forced. upon a
. /ie , htieg party,
such. as the slaveholders are. Such
intee tires are only crammed down the
throats of 'peace' men. .
"Voe think, perhaps, I am treading
upon the verge of e.ntravegance. - It is
not 'oo. Yeu 1,41),:ne men have -.got
your head:; full of the great moral
pewee. of a peaceable opposition
to Slat err. ' And T, for one, em glad
of it. I'do not want to. see this Anti-.
Slavery coeteA any more embittered
during my day, than it is now. In the
sixty years that I have lived, I have
been a, peace man, and I expect to he
to the end. And whatever frightful
collisions Slavery May incite, 1 trust
they will not come till h am at rent.
But this does not hinder nie fromlook

I am not an aster. anywhere•upon the

accuracy. I .Eay• you . Tribu7,ze men

of the greet.inorPl power Of

like to ask you what, that kind of
position has elle . cterithuifar ‘ ? . Under
it, Slavery;
. during, the 'last twelitY-fli;-e
years of its existence,, has strengthened
itselfin its old (juarteis, :spread itself

that is : 'We will dissolve th'e l7nion.'

at, the North, and your fighting men
must he found 'among the mcm who act
from a sense of duty ; and who, while
they pray to God, keep their powder
dry, and knoi.v.Thow to explode it on
occasion.
- " You think that all the talk in fa
vor Of ' slavery in the South, is real.
You never made a greater mistake.
Nobody knows any better than . the
Southern Slavery propagandist that.
Slavery is a nuisance and a curae.
But they feel that they can, take no
awns to get rid of it, without making
a bad matter worae, and so they put
the hest face on things they can: They'
know well enough -that. the march of
Freedom is onward in the world, and
though-it is always meetin g with re
bull's, often'having great fights and be
ing defeated, yet 'that, on the whole;
every contest-sets it ahead in the main.
They think they are doing groat things
in getting Kansas,. but I am not sure
that if they succeed thi.sy•are not mak

trouble even if it fails to gain the as

on painting them. And in this, and in
public and private discussion, they will
keep the 41avelwidera in hot water all
the time, so that the South may, after

" • From the. Chicago Democrat, May 4.
A great battle
. has been fought, and -
a glorious victory won. The fight that ;
has been going onin the Know Nothing'
Grand- Council for the several days. ;
past, resulted in the complete discoin, , •?
fiture of Judge Douglas, who, was . a
lobby member, and pulled all the wires
in his power for' Atchison aid the:
armed band of assassins who are inns-.
trating "popular sovereignty" in Kan
"
.Tonathanhas done well so far.- Let
his next move be to take off the Secte-:
cy to his proceedings, and let us have
an open field and a free fight against
the men who have violated 'the: free
diem of the Press and the sanctity of"
the ballot box -in:Kansas.
-Judge Douglas hoped to keep .up ,
the •Know . - 4Nothings who were the
toOli . of"the Slave power. This would
secure him the influence of the foreign-•
ers in the froc States, while his friends
in the slave St'ates would give him the
K.:Rely Nothings. But in Illinois Know
Nothinaism is as "dead as Douglas."
Of .fonathanisniwe know nothing,
save that several foreigners who have
never voted . anything but a Deniocrat
it: ticket, tell us that it is an immenSe-' .
lv liberal march from Know Nothing- -
ism, and is objectionable only -in its,
secrecy. We never-expect- to belong
to any secret political organizrion ;
• but since the recent Outrages in Kan-
KU?, we can fight a good battle 'outside
lei" any-organization that goes for o civil
and- religious.liberty, and that makes
tho alien-born who abjures all alle
giance to foreign powers, equal to thei
uativp-born. Slavery in Kansas must
be_ exterminated, come ' what , will !
And we must have the influent() - of
the foreign vote •to do this. Slave
ltoldeta-are the instinctive enemies of
threigners, as free labor:and slave la
bor 'cannot exist together. Let slave
labor be exterminated, and let tl;,e_
free labor from Ireland, GermanY,
Noiway, &c.,•take its Place.
Ex-Alderman Throop was the first •
man to take Sam -by the,throat. , Sam
beat Mr. Throop for Mayor, and, also
for Sewerage 'Commissioner, Because

Senator Chase could' not,have seni-his
