The circumstances under,Which the INIttPENI)F.NT
REMILICAN wasCs,tabliithed, Were these; The rapid
,and daring encroachments oNhe Slave 'Power had
culminated in the passage of the Nebra s ka-Kansas
:let, thereby eteiting the Most- intense indignation
nniong freciloindoving citizens of all patties; and all
in whom patriiitism predominated over partisanship
felt. that ,the time fora union of freemen to resist the
aggressions of Slavery had - arrived. Autumn
of 1854,.the freemen of Susquehaitha County, with
out-distinetion of party, niet and organized the Re
publican-partr, (,being the. first organization of the
kind in this State,) for the pUrpose of , maintaining
Those principles Of lilicrty transmitted to us by the
fathers of the Republic, hi the DecLaration of bide- -
pendence andYthe Constitution of the United States.
How the party has increased hi magnitude and pow
er'Mnee that time, the history or the country
,On its first trial of strength on the national arena, it
has almost 'overthrown the once inyinciblii and fully
organized cohorts of the Slave Demeernev, exhihiting
such avigor and expansiveness, as to fill our 011)0 , -
1 nents with dismay at their future pro7 , peets, and to
aween in the hearts of the flien& of freedom .well
kiiounded hopes of-the speedy triumph:et the pritici 7
pies of freedom, justice, and•lnnnanity. In January
succeeding the organization of the RePtealican party

menced, to advocate the principles of-that patty. 41
met with a generous welcome, and we rnst was
without its influence in aiding to build up the noble
organiiation'Which carried the 'Wilmot Ristlid. for I

rearmed dainsha A. Grow to that seat in the House
which he fills with such high honor in himself and
his constituents.' To the support of.that organiza
don, While it remains true. to the cause of fia - idom,
we shall continue to devote our best energies; and
we are convinced that it is only requii-yd to have the
Republican principles fully understood by all,-tit
the party greatly increased strength among the mas
ses of the people ;' for the.voter cylto casts his ballot
for no purposeof selfish aggrandizement, hut for his !
cotintry's goOd alone, needs only to be convinced, to
vote right; and with such a cause as ours, with rea'
son and justice, and all the better instincts of th'e hu

)From the above brief extract, the hiCrald
Oman may learn' , several things which he does
not seetn to linow 1. That this doettine;of
State Equality is a " new d.lctrine," or, as
should express it,a flew dodge to aid in
extenditlg:Slavery ; * 2. That this s3ottrine,
acording . to the Sham Democracy, :doeS
-ply
.to.the TerritOries; although it-was applied
to th6n for the first titne . onliT'a few -Months
,ago. That this d.retrine'rates to the ex
tension of Slavery bcl i yo'nd State limits, and
in: it the South Is "obliged to defend
Slavery on principle.', 4. That this same doc
trine was "the great tte. -in the late Pres
contest.'
Should It. be 'objeetyl that the Rielltmind
Enquirer, although the leadiug organ of the
Shain:Demoeracy in The South, • may be in
error on
. this subject, we might quote numer
ous whet authorities tO-the sante pont. One
or. two musts 'r the preSeut
&Maim. Brown of Mississippi, in a - speech
in the U. S. Senate, April 28, ISA,
whatt is ymeant by State Equality, in con

net'stop to say much of the towns through
which we passed: : Binghamton, Owego, and
