• 9 INDEPENDENTS REPUBLICAN. CHARLES F. READ AED D. R. FRAZfER, EDITORS MOWTROSE, PA. Thursday Morning, July 26. VW. . REPTIBLACAN cot CONNITTEZ, The Repuhlican• County Committee of Susquehan na County will meet at Montrose on Friday, the 2ith day ofJoly inst., for the transaction of ,bustness pre paratm7 for the Fall election. The following persons constitute- the CoMmittee : Charles F. Read, Peter Decker, Gilbert Warner, U. L. Canfield, Amos Wiil iams, William Foster, William C. Tiffany,, G. Z. Dim oek. A full attendace is reqestpl. ,Position and, Prospects of Pa4lo, North sad South. At the. South, there seem to be but two parties - in existence, the Democracy and the Knoir-NothingsOioth of which profess pre cisely the same principles on the Sliyery question. Each _party claims to he, more vTeSlaver,.y than_ its antagonist, but them can be-no doubt both are 'sound' in that respect. In Georgia, for exaMple, the Democracy faro lately tulnpted,a platforni in which they Acelare that a-refueal to admit Kansas imp the Unio as a Slave State, will be consider ed by rgiti a sufficient ground for dissolv ing, the Union. Tho Know-Nothing State 'Council of Georgia has since met, and unwill ing to let the Democracy get the start of them, has adopted, so far as Slavery is con cerned, precisely the same platform: The • sum e platform has also been adopted by the Democracy of other Southern States ; and intleed it seems to be the doctrine of that: Tarty": every where, tbat the' Missouri Com promise lino must not be restored, and-that if the sovereigns' of Kansas orNebraska dc aide in favor of Slavery, they must be admit ted • Nvith slavery. We believe at. not a single- Democratic paper - or poi' iciati, that claims, to adhere to the party, tier at the North or South, has come out in fiver of re stoeing the Prohibition of Slavery in those Territories. And in this the National oe-pro- Slavery..Know-Nothings and the sham 'De. mocracy stand on the same ground; for the pro-Slavery platform of the Philadelphia Con vention, also declared, against restoring the , • 4::ornpiomise line and in favor of adinitting ne*-States.with Slavery whenevei• they as . k. it. In lo6al, or State elections, these , two proSlaiery parties may, for the present, 'op pose• each other, but - in aPreSidential con - test, in the present state of onr national. af fairs and of public sentiment, no" reasonable man can' doubt that They will. .unite ; rather than see the Oppositi, principles triumPh and -Kansas and Nebraska restored to freedom In fact, many of the4Southern papers,'of both c parties,are already clamoring for such unioo. Assuming that these prO-Slavery parties, laying aside minor differences, will act to. -getter to elect a pro-Slavery - Presient, we have• to consider what Will be their united ,strength, and \ who will be found to -oppose them.- In the first place, the chief strength of both •)ies.at the South. That this is:the case with - ther-Vrerroveretic peerty,ther_electiorea. Wm:o ..th.e. Nebraska ouirage ssuffi*ntly \demonstrate. e party has 'been 'defeated every where. nt the North. - -Its former streii i ith and thorough - .Organization have enabled it to retain a por tion of its former adherents,. even ,hgainst their own convictions of rigfilTbut it \has ai 7 , ready - dwindled . away to a feeble and distract ed remnant at the North, and will still fur ther diminish when the attempt ,is made . to bring the party anew upon a National pro- Slavery platform. There is no, reason to ;implies° that it can carry a single Northern 13tate., 'with the - Free•Soil sentiment, united. against it. The National. Know-Nothings are `it _even a worse condition. Their proSlave ,l7 platform was at once repudiated by the . Amerjean party of every Free State, except New York, and we are,asiured by many of the organs, f the Order in that State that her delegates yere false to the sentiment of their constituents, and that her next,State Council Will also repudiate the pro-Slavery vlatform. The -pro-SlaVery Know-Nothing3, therefore, cannot be expected to make a show of carrying any Northern State ; and they can Ecaroely hope-to oust - the `Democracy from - their pres ent bi:ghplace in the affections of the Slave oligarchy._ Linder whichever name they choogit to act, tho South will go into. the next Presidential .campaign united- 7 - that..., is, the Tete of every State will be east for the sante pro-Slavery candidate.; but as the North has a:maiority of votes over the South, it is Only necessary for us to beequallyunited to elect a Froc-Soil Preitident. But on ,what _corn- mon,basis shall we unite ? This question is answered by the - New York Tribune of Ju2 , ly tlOth, in explaining to the Commercial Ad vertiser, which advocates an attempt to re *ire the Whig organization, as follows: 44 The National Republican party aims sirup ly and solely at the restoration of the Pro hibition of Slavery in thellew Territeries i — This is whit the ComMercial will fird pressed in the call for the Republican State Convention, and more than this it need not seek for. No doubt it will find arrayed in theilepublicanmovement many men whose views on The Slavery question go further than that, just as it will find men who differ on a variety of other questions, all brought together 15V the- great necessity of the coun try to act in one compact body for a com mon end. In these ranks there are Demo crate, Whigs, Free Loiters, Liberty men, Ab olitionists, perhaps. Enough that they are united under the Republican banner, and . that they form, a part of that, great movement which has curried fifteen States, and reversed the cleuiwtte Of their entire delectation House of Representatives." And-- we may Did that the lay yof Northern men who were repres - in the late Know-Nothing National Convention at Philadelphia, stand pledged, in every Free State oacept New York, to =the support of 'die same principles, and 'that, unless the counsels of those vcho would foioduce fatal dissenaksis among Free-Soil n wen, prevail, 'they will be found supporting the Rer.ublican eandidate for President in 1856, as they now are supporting Senator Chase for Governor of Ohio.. , . ar Of the inmates of Alms-House, natie Asylum, and Penitentiary, 13Iaek weirs Island, the proportion of intemperate perbons is fully setien•tenths. .
