"The question of Slavery will; without
doubt, be the great issue in the next Presi
dential election.
.It is important that we
should obtain as correct a view. as possible of
the position of different parties on that ques
tion, so that, now when the disruption of old
-party ties has left every man free to think:
and act for himself, we may not be misled
into
re t support of any party, that_ does not
rep rent our principles. The present aspect
of our national affairs, relative to this subject,
furnishes just grounds to every reflecting
mind for serious apprehensions for the future.
But the issue / is one that must be met, fur the
South has forced it upon us. When South
ern men, without distinction of party, joined
:alltheir strength to carry through . the Ne
:braskti bill, they formed a sectional prii-slav
.ery party, (unless the number of the Northern
adougbfaces who acted with them entitles it to
the name of the National pro-slavery party,)
and presented the naked issue Of Slavery to
the Northern people, thus rendering justifis
ble and necessary an antagonistic anti-Slavery
party. The opponents of. Slavery accepted
the issue, and anti-Slavery men, of whatever
party, were, triumphantly elected throughout
the North. ' Such a result 'might have been
anticipated among an intelligent and inde
pendent people who believe that Freedom is
better than Slavery, and that right should tri
•umph over wrong. The Voters _of the Free
States thus 'have taken one stepti the right
direction. In the election of a resident in
1856, the next step will be taken. Shall it
be in advance or retrograde ? Can the how
esty and firmness of the North be relied on
to oppoie the wieled efforts now making to
extend the curse of human Slavery, under the
protecting folds of the banner of freedom I—:-
If so, an anti-Slavery President can be elect
ed. That wonld no.mere triumph of party,
i
l
hut a triumph of Right.' That - hollow. ,
.unsubstantial but, huge-looming fiihrie w i
now casts its gloomy shadow over our w e
land—the Slave Power—would crumble into
ruins at the first shock of such an encounter.
'But,. when the hour comes, will the frien .
freedom be marshaled for the conflict?--:
Their jealousies and dissensions on other less,
important questions render this a matter of
serious doubt. And if Ave fail for want --of
.unity Of actionohe victory . will be nok.Ss -
_important to the Slavoeraey.. The cry of
disunion, so often raised to frighten the-North
from the path of duty, should have a contra
:l7 effect; for if the cause of freedom shoUld
triumph, we trust the, government would lie
placed hyon such a basis - ..0f right and justice
:as would render. the Union firm And indisso
ble, in :spite of the feeble , -efforts of a few
:Southern nullifiers; while. Another" victory of
the Slave Power would be .fullowed by such
. aggressions and outrages on it.; part as would
naturally lead to disimion.. We therefore call
upon the Union-savers to unite with us to de
,feat the Slaveholders and preserve the
.Are We ivroiig in Our conclusion? -Look at
;thp change in' the : Attitude of Slavery towardi
:the Union within a-few years. Not long ago,
AB it asked was to be-let alone 'within its ex
isting limits, but lately what vast strides it
has taken and openly . proposes towards the
dominion -of the Continent ! When
.. will it
be easier or safer4o stop. its 'aggressive ca
reer than now ? •
We all understand iu the same degree the
:wait - ion and, plans of the advocates of Slavery.
On the question of extending 'Slavery and
strengthening the Slave Power, the South has
acted and wili . continue to act as a unit, and
the North is expected, .as heretofore, to -fur
nish the ciphers to give that unit power.
Without the aid of the North's 'unfaithful
•sons, the Slave States would'be powerless for
evil beyond their own limits. Greatly infe
rior to the North in numbers and' wealth,
they' depend upon the adroit management of
their politicians to retain their- present,:as
cendency in the National Government. The
'••Jodist . I 'condition of the South, which gives a
email body of aristocrats entire control - of its
Qoliticai ac r tion, gives great potency to its
'threats anfl promises, and thus enables it to
the t principles of doughfaces to its pur
ipos with wonderful facility. If these
means fail, it is suddenly discovered that the
i Union is in danger. Rut the North can be
;frightened with the cry ofiiisu.nion no longer.
'lf our Southern brethren were in earnest in
itheir pretended fears for the Union, they
would cease from endangering it by therepeat
ed commission of acts that tend to alienate us
from them, and to destroy all confidence in
;:their moderatiOn and integrity. They evince
-tit settled determination to make the Slavery
interest first in influence in this Republic, in
; disregard of all laws, human 'or divine.
The question is, how shall this evil bo
remedied ? The opponents of Slavery, if act
ing in concert, could remedy,it quietly - and
effeetually at the ballot box; but fur this
purpose they, must be organized, which now
<they, are not. We here come back to our
first inquiry, whether there is any party in
existence under whose organization the friends
i'of fnedotii may safeltact for the purpose of
defeating the. Slave.POWer. The Whig par:
ty having been disrupted .and destroyed as an
organiistion, by the passage. of the Nebraska
bill, there are now in existence Oree parties,
the "Democratic," the "AmericXn," and the
Republican." • The Nebraska; bill, which .
Annihilated the Whig party, alsoprodueed a
very great change in the DemoCratic party:
It added to that party silliest. the whole
South, and drove from its ranks a large .'ir
of Northern men, who would not be mad k. e
tools of Slavery. The party whose
power and discipline were used to force that
. measure upon, the country, survived the act,
but lives dishonored and shorn of its strength.
'The people refuse to follow leadeis who have
forsaken - the fitith of their fathers and bowed
--down to the false god of Slavery. With
large accessions of praidavery men to its
4 ranks, and the withdr wal of a hate body of
Fib.Soilers, it is reasonable to infer -that
that party i *lll hereafter be more strongly •
pro-Slavery) than befor'e.. ,The partY which

• What is !the positiOn of the Areerlean par
ty OnAhisqbestiOn ? ..in the late elections they
have. generally' voted for Free-Soil and
'agent - St thells4bra.skdiloughfaces ; but if we
'may belieVe cone of the papers that : claim to
be their organ, they have now become dough
faces thetitteles.•. We cannot believe that
the great body - of the .!Order at the North ate.
such, for tlleir acts show the contrary ; but "
still, after What has been alleged against them,.
it will bet t e4mul for them to defin e their
position on th'e Slaveiy question, before they
, !
can expect , lhek, support of those Pree•Soil men
who consider the Slavery 'One more import
ant than atiy' Other. This they have as yet
done only )n ii, few of the Free States, tho'
we trust they ; r NvM ultimately iin all.

aware that under a Republican form of gov
