Governor Chase, of Ohio, is ano'.lier ad
vocate of the "irrepressible conflict.' A
few days uso, at 1'ontiao, Michigan, ho
tiitif. stated the issue, or rather Ins con
ception of tho issue between the par

'I ask you to take sides and decide
wheio you will bo. 'If the Lord bo God,

"Freedom throughout tho couutrj's wide

Wentworth, an ex-
member of Congiess from Illinois, and at

Chicago, in an article in his paper, the
Chicago Demociat, glorifying over Frank
Blair's election in St. Louis, says !
'While tho great doctrine of tlio duty

"Sir, I will not dishonor this home of

Tlio Hon. Edward Wade, of Ohio, in
the llouso, Aug. 2nd 1855, said :
"lhus, sir, the Ihnce-exeerable fugitive
lecture in New York city, on the subject
of cutting the North from the South, suid:
"All et tempts at evasion, at adjourning
at concealing and compromising, are in
vain. Tho reason of our long agitation is,
not that restless abolitionists aro ubroad,

thcnl money for tlreir journey and sent
them on their way rejoicing. If that bo

"Mr. Bennot of Mississippi. I wall t to

Now hear the Rev Henry II urd Besnh

Again, in his speech at Albany, New

"It is written in the Constitution of the
United Slates, in violation of the divine law,
that we shall surrender the fugitive slavo.
You blush not ut thehe things because
they are familiar as household ivords."
Still ngain, in his speech in the Senate,
March, Jd, 18.), Mr. Seward thus assail u
the Drod Scott decision and the Supreme
Court :
"Tho Supremo Court also cun reverse
its spurious judgment more easily than wo
can reconcile tho people to Its usurpa

In a letter written on July 20, 1835, the

CONCLUSIO.v.
It will be perceived that we have midc
no quotations from that slill more ultrit
and cxtre.ii a portion of the republican
party led by Win. Lloyd Garrison, Wen
dell I'hilipH, Abby Foster, Gerrit Smithf
lied pa: h & Co., who have the merit of ue
in more out spoken, told, and violent in
their uvsaults upon tho Constitution and
the Union; for tho reason that, though
voting wil l Hint parly, yet some of lie
republican leaders in some of the States,
such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey, where black-republicans is ol sIoa
growth, ufli-ct to deny their authoriiy to
speak for the republican party. So, in
these papers, we have confined ourselves
striutly toquot itions from the Kepi e,enti
tive men- tho admitted leaders the en
dorsed aud everywhere acknowledged
founders, creators, and nurses, advocates,
and chief supporters of the republican
party -tho men who mado this party,
whoso talents sustain, whose counsels di
reet, whose nets control it. No man cau
gainsay their authority to speak tor it,,
for they themselves constitute the party.
We have made fair and hoiie.-l quotations,
from their speeches and lelte.s. And
now look upon the record. What doesU
ail mean ? The dissolution of the Amei'i
cun Union, theemancipation of the South
ern slaves, and the reduction of tho South
ern Spates and Southern men into the
abject position of colonies and vassals.
This is the "bloody goal" at which bhick
