imagine there' would be but very few ' sup

The great.'difficult,y with many. ofThe Demo-

party paper?, which, are let great pains to
evade-the real issue beforei-the people and to,
conceal the purposes and acts of the Slavery

it is not merely as partisans that we exult
in the prospect of an' overwhelinit* Repuhli 7

the next Presidenti.4l election; should have
„but one object, to secure every vote-that can

If the . People of U. North Will paw throw '
-therriselveo into the 'breach, step the on!
ward course of Slavery, such a blov will be
struck fer.freedom as will be felt ip , the des
tinies of our,, country:during its existence. It
'is
,understoOd,-on both stdes,, :that ;Kansas _ is
in some degree a turning point, and , that the
-institutions established there will by likely to
deterrnitip those ofall the te.rriiery beyc'tna,
to the Nprth and Zest.. Stilt : , the, struggle'
would not cease, with the edmissioil of Kan
' FT.
sas as a Free State. ' The Slave Power
has been so long 'aeeustomed to contiper
that not surrender for
, onC defeat:—
Utah, it is - said, is about to i apply - for adruis
sion; with its , Polygamy, Negro, and Indian
Slavery, and such other pecUliar institutions
as ..its ' popular sovereigns' - see fit toestablish;
The other;Territories, one after amither, will
also-be ap ly i ng for...admission, and we must
look: for kdesperate struggle over= each one
of them. But even victory of theifriends of
freedom will make tie next less difficult; and ,
when the slaveholders, whe well know.' their
own weakness; perceive that; we know% our
strength, 'they will at length' 14uietl , sktmiit
to let slavery!oecupY the position .:intended
,by the founders of the Republic,
,as some
thing whose existence, though dep,loreci,muSt
be-tndured, till ,the States themselyns should
,abelish it, or till the'restrictions imnosed up
on:it by the general gov
etnment in abolishing the African slave trade
and exclSklingslavery from sir the TerritY:
