whether irwillinot be good policy for Republicans to

leave,their prekenturganization and, by-uniting with
the DouglasDi t mocracy, form a new and more power
fel-party upon a fierier and broader stasis. As •
reason for the suggestion,-it is - alleged that the prin
ciples of theicpublican party are toonirrore and too
• sectional ever Ito be adoptedby a national 'organiza
tion, and that it .is,. therefore, necessary to disband
and re-orginise upon such a platform as will be ac
ceptable to- a larger portion of the Anterican people.
We are called Upon by our;Republican neighbors of
the press to define our tlosition upon this question.
• Ke,have no difficulty in seeing that it is desirable
that all who ale opposed to the atroetties of Buchan
_an's administritlon shall unite s in one party, but. we
have some diillculty in perceiving that our principles
are rearrer and erationel. 'The whole sentiment of.
the Repokrocatt l
party upon the Slavery question is
contained fa the simple proposition that" Freedom is
oginnal and Slivery sectional i" in other words, that

The principle of popular sovereignty is 'embodied
in the Crittenden amendment, and substantially ad
knowledged in the English Kansas Bill, but so dis
guise.' with bribery and corruption in the latier, as
scarcely to . be recognized. This principle we may
accept as a boon from the tender mercies of the slave
power. We can pick it up as a waif thrown out Li
the marauders, after they have robbed us of' every
thing more valuable, and appropriate it to ouraelies,
.protesting against it: I! it had •been left with the
people to say whether slavery should be carried into
the territbries,,it‘would have been less repulsive :
but when they are . left only the poor privilege ofdriv
ing slavery out of the territories, we can but regard
it a 4 a poor priiilege indeed,- But poor as the privi
lege is, and insignificant as kit compared with his ae
tual tights, must not the free laborer accept it as his
only hope of securing a small portion of our rich Ad
'valuable territories to - himselfand his children.?
W suggest to our Repubhcan
: neighbors whether
we shall not be obliged tel take our position upon the
principle of popular sovereignty, and While.we are la

ures are discussed, and new platformemust be creat
ed. The Republican Party has in view one great ob
ject, the protection of the rights and' interests of the
free laborer; but in the ! attainment of,its object it
must advocate different measures. It advocated the
Wilmot Proviso as long as the purchase of nevi terri
dory was contemplated. It opposed the'rerieal of the
Missouri Compn?inise.untiLthe act was repealed. It
ailvecated the principle that slavery could not exist
in any territory until established there by law, but it
has been 'decided by the highest tribunal that slivery
may. enter the territories at will. Now the only pos.
Isable way that free labor can secure any portion of
teniterris to legislate slavery out of it. We believe
that slavery has no rightful existence in .o ottr territo
ries, and it never could haw had an evtence there
hail it not been for the action of the Democratic Par
ty. Rut since slavery is actually in the territories,
and. it is decided by the Supreine Court that it has a
rightful existence there, are we not forced to accept
the principle of popular sovereignty as a boon, and
advocate,tt as the only possible means the free labor

blackguardism in last week'a'Nentrose Democrat ;
and as for, its misstatements of fact—a fault so habit
ual with thaybeet as scarcely to attract comment or
attention—they#i so palpable .and apparent• that
they may be very briefly disposed of. °
Our article of April 29th, stating that the Demo.
iny editor was a disappointed applicant for the Post
office, 'as originally' written; simply recorded what
was common report , here, which we bad never heard
contradicted from any quarter, and•which we believed
to be true. The only clause in 'the article which
stated that be bad been• an applicant:for •the office
was this: " His petition for an office has been disre
garded, and another has got the appointment he ask--
ed for." When he 'came toots, after a part of, that
week's .issue was printed, and said that he had never
been a petitioner for the office, and requested to have,
the statement corrected in the 'rest of . the - issue, we
changi that clause so as to read : " His claims for
an office have been disregarded, and another has got
the appointment of Postmaster;" and on his further
request that we woult publish his denial in our neat
issue, we promised to do so, and we did so. But he
'says the change we'made in the article wah inmate
rig.- If so, we cannot see what reason he has to find
fault with the article in its original form. A's correct
ed, it merely states that he had claims for. the office,
and That another - had got it. That another has got it
is undeniable ; and if the editor had no claim? for the
office, nhy.shoul4 his friends have proposed; as he ad
mits in liis.article last week, that if any change was
made, he should be an -appficant! Does he i^etlly
consider that - he had no claims ; and that if
been appointed - the appointment would have' been
undeseried f It would appear so, from theObjwction
he makes to our correction. But in our opinion, when
he admits it was intended that he should be an
'applicant it any change was to be inade, he admits
'that he and his friends considered that he had claims
for tit! office; and our statement is verified by his own
adinission.
When he says that we agreed to remove the entire 1
paragraph finm our paper, be says what is wholly
untrue- - Not Only did we not agree to -do any such
thing, but he did not ask us to do it. And ;as the
senior editor's promise of an' explanation the next
week wailonfy conditional, and biused upon an utter
misstatement offset by him of the Democrat, of cours, e
such an explanation as the latter asked fOr could'net
be given.
We conceive that whatever of "meanness" and'
-" trickery" has been exhibited in this matter, was on
the part of him who—after getting' our prOmise to
publish his denial of a statement we had made believ
ing it , to be true—went back to his, office and pub
lished an article stating'that we knew our statement
to ltejalse, and that Ire looked for the prosercorree- .
On next week—thus taking. advantage of our eour
tesy,lo raise .an imputation against - oni veracity:
But we have deitted more time and apace to this
subject than ft is worth. We cannot be expected to
attach so much importance to it as the editor of the

Upon this Circular, the New York Tribune
remarks :
"The signers of this Cireular arc among
the most prominent members of the Repub.
lican and American parties in Erie county,
the first of whom has been,State Treasurer ;
the next two members of Congress ; one oth.
er was Post Master of Buffalo. and the last
District Attorney. Their Circular indicates
clearly and well the platform on which a
common organization and common- effoit are
practicable.. / Tins State ought to send from
.twenty five to thirty opponents of the Le
conipton 'fraud to the. next Congress, and
elect a State ticket - ape) Legislature hostile to
it by at least one hundred thousand majority.
To secure this consummation, a generous
forgetfulness of obsolete differences and an
earnest reciprocity of concessions with refined
to candidates, are all that is needed. We
_bail with joy and hope this cordial overture."
Mr. Haven was the former law partner of
Mr. - Fillmore, mid it Was that connection
which dragged hiin into many positions in
the last C‘ingress which ha was evidently re•
luetant to take.
It is against the Slave Power of the coun
try, in its present " aggressive and intolerant"
attitude, and especially in reference to Kan
sas, an attitude,•by the Way, deeply deplored
by the moderate and national men of the
South, that this Circular proposes.a union, to
be devoted to tba _practical point of over
throwing a " faithless and despotic Adminis
tration."
We improve .the occasion to express our
approval of the wise - and' just spirit, with
which the New York Tribune accepts these
and other nbnifestations of a tendency to c()-
(gyration among all the uncorrupted ele
ments of political power in the country.=

THE FEATURES OF THE ENGLISH. LECOMP
TON BILL AS PASSED DT CONGRESS.-FuTOCy ' S
Press says that inasmuch as this action is not
a settlement, but a wicked reopening of that
which honest legislation would have forever
tranquilized, we desire the-reader to preserve
and to remember these facts :
1. That although the people of Kansas
have repeatedly rejected the Lecompton Con-
stitution, with 611 its protection to slavery,
they must take that Constitution now, or
wait till they have a population of 93,000 or
120,000.
2. 'That people can have no vote upon thii
Lecompton Constitution under the -English,
bill as lately, most positively-, and distinctly
shown by Senators Douglas and Green, in
the Senate, dnd by Mr. Stephens in the
House.
-• $. But, is order to bribe them to take it,
some four millions of acres,of land-tire offer
ed to them, which if they accept, they go in
to the Union 'with Lecompton, and which
they reject, they remain out an indefinite pe
riod of time.
4. If they take Leec impton with the -land
bribe, which is a slave Constitution, • simply
and wholly, they enter the Union with 30,000
of a population; if they refuse it, they will
remain in a territorial condition under pro
slavery managethent for years to come. -
5. That the commission appointed to hold
the election in Kansas, when- the land ordi:
naceAnot the Constitution) is submitted, has
been constituted by the English bill to con
sist of a majority of pro-Slavery men, who
will of course count-only to suit themselves;
the. House•bill4nade the commission stand
two and two. •
6. Tbat'the clause so highly favored by
the Lecomptonites, that the people of Kansas
should alter _the Constitution at any time out
side of its forms, has. been-carefullwexcluded•
by' the Engliarlegerdemain.
7. That all the Southern med say there is .
nu submission of the Cbnstitution to the peo
ple of Kansas, whip their, partisans from the
North say there is. •

It is a gratifying fact that the anancipa.

great delusion, as many belieired,' is - progress :

tees the most hopeful results for; that vat
realm; which embraces _one-absth ;of the
surface of the earth, and Which is Mifidding
under its. new system a - degree of energy 4-
tle less than miraculons.
Although serfs; under the technic 2 name
of "souls," have always been transferable

since the great government pawnbroking

'the nobility, their proprietors, have rsmon.-
strated, of opposed the measure: f emancipa
tion. On the contrary we:find them under%
standing dig, as it was a thin which must
be, the besreourse 'which they could adopt
would' be to fall.in With the movement. and
so regulate the mantoriission that peaceable
and harmonious•arratigements with the oper
atives could be made. -"A hired laborer, con.
ciliated, is better than no laborer; nay it is,
possible that, 'if he be induced to adopt regu
lar habits, and his ambition be stimulated, he
may work 'harder-. than before and prove
more valuable to -his employer than if tie
were a serf. Thus we find the nobles of the
districts of Orel and Nei., following the,ex
ample of the other provinces, haie,solicited
permission to forM committees for regulat
ing the enfranchisement of their serfs, and:
that the measure has thus, become general.
Russia has, we believe, never depended on
serfs, for aay of her provinces which were to
be pushed by rapid development, or inj any
new territories. When it was resolved to
make the most of a new country. as injßes-.
sarabia, all serfage was ab.olished, and

The American Horse-Tamer's System Ex.
plained.
'On the 21st ult, at 6 Uley's Amphitheatre,
in London, Mr. William Cooke, the eques
trian, undertook to exemplify Profeisor Ra
rey's system of breaking, subduing, and.
training unmanageable and vicious horses.—
There was, consequently, crowded house,
the boxes particularly beinff b will filled.
We
take the following account of what took place
from the Morning Advertiser : Mr, Wm.
Cooke informed the audience that, having ad
vertised his intention of exhibiting Professor
Rarey's principle of subduing horses, by ex
perimenting on any horse that might be sent
to him, a horse. had been sent to him that
morning for the purpose: A full growh horse
hunter—was then led in, and the follow
ing simple modp of operation was adopted :
A strip is attached to the fetlock of thwAlilat
rare leg, and drawn .oier the animal's right
shoulder, wher4 it is held by Mr. C00ke.4.-
Tke K.ft leg is then bent inwards, so as to
bring the hoof in contact with the thigh, and
made fast in that position by a strap and
buckle. Mr. Cooke then, taking the reins in
his left hand, and bringing the strap attached
to the hbrse's fore leg into instate of tension,
urges-the animal to walk on three legs.—
Holding the reins-right, and so as to incline
the horse's head to the left,: the horse is fore
, cd to make - a journey twice round the circus.
At this time he exhibits symptoms of great
exhaustion, 'goes on his knees, and ultimately
lies down ill the most submissive manner.—
. Ile is then relieved from the •inconvenient
an unaccustomed restrictions .imposed upon
• him by. the straps,-and Mr. Cooke 'lies upon
him in a recumbene - position,- and caresses
him, and his pattings are reeived by the horse
with such indications of gratification as to
leave no doubt that the most friendly - relit,
tions are established betwden the parties.
