Real Intent of the Republican Party._ • Ve have afters maintained the position that the real meaning of the Republican party was to carry into effect the principles of the old Abolition organizations-of the country—A-to exterminate slavery in .the Un 4--ana to use just such agencies es would aiconiplith that purpose. The people revolted at the naked; disgusting propositions enunei ated by such leaders as Garrison, Giddings, Abby Kelly and their associates. They would not aid• in elevating to power and place men who denounced the Coustitution, advocated resistance to all laws which crossed their path. mingled with the colored race in all -the affikra - ff life, and claimed for them equal social and political rights in the States and Union. This fact stood In the way of ;the old -Abolition party ever becoming a majority party. la some of the Northern States it might hold the balance of power, but as a party which could be need for ob.' raining strength sufficient to effect the pur poses of its founders, that was discovered to be impracticable. When this fact was demonstrated by successive failures and de feats of the Abolition'party, then came the change in the outward show of principles which was to lead. and govern this political ‘orgenization, and 'the name by which it was to rally for future.operations. The Abolition party was changed and the Republican or• ganization took its place. The ultra features of the old Giddings and Gan icon party was hidden from public notice, and men of a different - school assumed the control of the _ Republican movement, and affected a regird for the Ctinstitution and the rights of the - States.under that inwrument s They even nominated a slaveholder as their candidate for thioffice of Chief 2dagiatn_slo of the Nation, sad voted-for him without 'a protest. More _recently, this same class of politicians assum ed the:popular sovereignty idea, and became velsemhnt in their advocacy of the right of the people of a Territory to manage 'their own affairs in their own was, though but a few` years previous they had contended that .Congress had a right to make all laws with reference to the Territories and the people could not interfere. These were the modes resorted to by the _managers of the Anti- Slavery party Of the country to popularize it, and make the old Abolition organization a real politicalisower, an agency that - should be felt in - all sections of the ' Union. The Republican party in its real purpose and in mints is identical with the ultra Abolition Oovement, though the developnients of its 'meaning may not be so !palpable, gross and offensive. In a speech -recently delivered before the Young Men's Whig Association of New York; by Hiram Ketchum, Kl., we find the following exposition of the creed o(the` Re publiemi party. It illustrates, in a most forcible manner, the point we made, and shwa that, no matter what may be the present *Aimed sentiments of a portion of the Republican party, the core of the more 'ment is sbol3tionism, a -settled purpose to interfere with the' institutions of the States, though Ruch institutions may be guarded in , the most forcible manner by the plain and obvious provisions of • the Constitution of the United States Mr. Ketchum says : "I say that the great object of the Republi can party was to destroy the institution of slavery in the country. Its leading purpose was the extermination of that institution. And if it was so, of coots). all the people of the slavehelding States were put, upon the defensive in regard lee that instit.o ion. It was a party of attack on one side and of defence on the other,end thegreat thing to be regard ed in the'arrangement of political panics, was the quer, bat of Slarrev. Our .foreign‘ com merce, our Teriff, our judiciary, our measures for the prosperity and glory of the country, were all ,forgotten. Men might .neglect ail tbeSe'things if they were only true upon • the questioir:of Slavery.. Here reasone section - of thecounhy arrayid against the nther=two sectienal parties divided upon the . question . of Slivery. , Giintlereen, do I truly reprcsent the state of things of not I know that the Republican party now begins to say, "0, we don't desire to interfere with slavery in the - Stater where it exists ; we have no such wish at all." And as to the Fugitive Slave lamthey are silent. They have not the beildneis to say that it shall be carried out, nor that it shall be set aside. They also sip,•ar- to bold out the idea that they are for i1. ,- rwantry and the Constitu tion, and many of them in the recent election in this State pretended to bold up old Whig doctrines: Theie was, however, It lion in their path—there stood before them a candi date for Governor who was areal Simon pure Abolitionist, and they began to be afraid, lest . he should defeat the Republican • candidate for that office. - What was to be done ! 'Why, the' great leader of the Republicans in this State-mounts the rostrum at Rochester, and says:—"Fellow el:items, the whole of this country mnsVei ftee or it most be slave . ; there is no middle course to, be adopted.' Ile might' as well have said, 'We must all be drunkards .. or teetotrillerall white or black —there is no middle course.' - Gentlemen, have you any fear that slavery will ever come into the States of New Yolk,. Connecticut. Rhode. Mend or ' Afavachusette ! And yet Mr. Seward holds up this doctrine. 'The country is waved, he says, _upon this great question, whether there shall be slavery or no slavery in the United States. Well, find ing this watchword given, the Abolitionists leave the Hod.' Gerrit Smith, and- be com plains. [Laughter] He says "that speech' of Sewitettirw4efeated my elmrtion,and evuty vote thitilamtrecatiVed has Cost me some ten dollAtitar thereabout=." [Laughter.) . SuchiAten, you perceive, is the object of the Republican party. Some, like my old Whig friend, the present Gavernor;' will say, - "0, lam all righ t I would not disturb it slavery in the States - where exists . " Otners boldly say,-"Down with altery ; it is against the law of God, and the law of God ie above the Constitution," [Laughter.] That is the dortritjeinitiated by Senator Seward." - A most •noticafile_ point in the contest in Nest; kork, which is used by\_ Mr. Ketchum to ithrstrate his position is, that when it be came titcessary to make the hist grand rally its that State. Senator Seward was selected as the man,and the battle cry was his Rochester thanifesto—all tiara or ail free States, shires in the north orfree uteri in the Stinth. Thii ' , bows the real purpose of the Republican Movement ; this indicates the stitritratuto on which that polaroid otganiation rests.

Senator Seward says the States must all beconie free or all slave, the Republican party enthirse and . applaud this sentiment, and that Geist demonstrates their position to be preeiselvjthit of the old Aboli 7 - Lion organization of Elie country. The few Men in theßepublie.an part y . who, have dissented from thi a view of the mission of that organization to 4bich they are attach ed, have met with stern end emphatic; rebukes from their. leaders. The I.(artford Times, in sketching the true position of _ the Republican party remarks : "the attempt of a portion of the Republi can party to "nationalize" that organization, by divesting it of the most offensive - part of its sectional character and ,adopting a less narrow and'hegOt - ed set of principles , is likely -to draw out the bitterest opposition from the rigid Abolition leaders, who are necessarily in the majority of the partyand who have no idea of giving up the control of its fortunes. Thus Joshua R. Giddings, the "old wheel horse of Abolitionism," as his friends at one time delighted to call him, made a speech in the lower louse of "Congress•on. Wednesday, itrwhich he declared that the Black Repub lican Tarty was "based on the great funda mental truth that all men have a right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness =hence be deduced the argument that the true duty and mission of that part] was to pitch into the institution of slavery, and destroy it at all hazards. This is an intere‘ting exhibit of the true chaineter'and position of the Black Republi cans, and we presume it *my be regarded se being official. - 7.4. Giddings then went on to "pip in the bud" the hopes of the m ore liberal Black Re pobli,cans, tuat-ing - th'e following declara tion "Win - asks .aen gentlemen were asked to modify thißepublican platform - he would say there was no central ground between freedom and slavery. The basis of the Republican party wasfundamenKand could not be changed." “There_is no middle ground,"saysGid dings; '-the,Repub!ican party must be one thing or the other—radical Abolition or nothing. It must plant itself on the old and despised Abolition platform, or abandon its ntganiza• lion as a party, : An active, hostile inter- Rrence with the institutions of . the Southern 'Audis is imperative on the part. of the Re publican party, or its organization cannot be maintained. We must take and inaintain positive Anti-Slavery ground. The Republi can party must comp upon my old Abolition platform, and wage an uneompromising war . upon the South — if disiinion be the result, all right." Such in effect is the lingnage.of Giddings, Whom a majority of the present Republican' part; while'they acted 'as Whigs, ridiculed and 'opposed. Giddingsl tells them the truth when he says they must take their stand on the old true blue Abplition platform., That •is precisely what they hive to come to--and most of them are already there." No one who has watched the progresi of the Anti-slavery movement in our country will question the correctness of Mr. Giddings' proposition: The Republican party mast -tloat on the wave of Abolition excitement, or sink to rise no more. In times of compara tive quiet it may-exist, and cajole the people' with the Wee that it means to act within the scope and limits of the Constitution, but when the final struggle tomes, the banner of disunion and higher laws will be raised, and the real purposes of the organization be plain lv revealed. That purpose is to override .the Constitution by means of political power ob..' tained in a-sectional iiaise, and thus virtually dissolve the Union, or compel the people of one portion of it to accept each terms as the victors shill be willing , to extend. Senator Seward's Rochester manifesto means simply this, and as that Las been endorsed by the LRepublican party, they are bound by-its doc trines.—Pennsylvanian. _ _ THE NATIVE MERCHANTS OF INDIA AND Cnrsa.—The statement of intelligent voya gers and travelers ag concur in the opinion that the greatly increased commerce between these Eastern nations and England and the United States, with the high prices which have been paid for the productions of those densely populated regions:of thkAsiatic con tinent, have givenenormous wealth to the shrewdest of the native merchants, and that the profits realized by them are vast and be yond calculation.

COLLECTIONS. With evary desire to oblige the craft, we ' cannot undertake to collect bills on Dr. Graham, as our efforts to realize anything on them are utterly unsuccessful. We clip the above from the Typographic Advertiser, published by L. Johnson et Co., Philadelphia. It reminds us that we have a little account with "Dr. Graham,;" and, for the benefit of our brethren, we_will give them some hints which may result in good. "G. W. Graham, M. D.,1131 Filbert stree•, Philadelphis,", is known to- the newspaper world, as the great curer of consumption,—at least he advertises himself as such. A little less than two yeara ago, he succeeded in en gaging the publishers of this paper in a tt4o a-;ear advertising contract, payable half yearly. When the first payment cnme due, the "Dr." did not remit. His attention was called to the maturity of kis bill, and his re• aponse, asking a feiiidaya time, led ma to sus pect his integrity. Subsequent letters,which were preserved for reference, convinced us of one fact, at least,'-which was, that however well he might be versed in a knowledge of the human system, as applied to curing con sumption, he was pitifully ignorant of the orthography of the English language. - We give one specimen of his spelling. The word injure was spelled "inger." Of course we threw out his advertisement. Last toll when in Philadelphia 'we called epee Mut, but got nothing bid a renewal of false promises. We eft him, fully satisfied that he was an igno rant imposter ; and, although Le ;attempts to appear exceedingly cute, he has no., sense enough to conceal a-disgusting habit of pro fanity in conversation. lie knows no more, medically speaking, about curing consomp tion,ehana Ilindoo does of the Atlantic Tele- - graph. This may be considered libellous, bet we are satisfied of its truth, and shall send the "Dr." a marked copy of this paper, that he may not accuse us of "backbiting ;"'and if be feels aggrieved, he has his remedy in a suit; but we trust be will pay what he owes ns before "letting slip the dogs of war." There are several other bogus concerns in on principal cities, which, like the "Ur."ltre duping-the press - and the public -throughout the United States; some of them, too, sail. order the flag Of "Advertising Agencies," in order to better ettivy on their work of fraud.. We are preparing a list of such concerns to be laid before the fiublie, and in doing so we shall doubtles4 expose several concerns, that have, heretofore, by the aid of various devices and fair prorniees, escaped censure. -Our motive ~ in engaging in this 4 work is a double one. ..lotstply do we wish to prevent heavy losses - on the part of the press, but we desire to warn Ithe public against the poison ous, swindling; and 'other frauds of bogus doctors, s and (various _grades of sink-holes, whose sole rain it is to rob their victims of money even- at \ the risk of character, health, or even life itself. In this cokuiection we cannot but refer to the fact; that, as an Editorial convention is to tremble 'at Harrisburg next month, the subject of bogus advertising is one that. may properly be laid before it, mid some general concert of-action should be' taken to suppress it.

The subject was, "The objects of life and their 'attainment." Mr. Stoddard thought no person could unfold iris capabilities without having a fixed pur pose, honorable' to manhood, and adhering firmly, unyieldingly.to it.

RESIISIWENCE 07 TOR.De.IIOdRATIC NATIOSAL , . .coNvisnoji Or 1832. ••• - - At the fist Baltimore National Convention, in June, 1832, at, which Mr. Van Buren was nominated for Vice President, for the 6cond term of Gen. Jackson, addresses were sub mitted to a committee of one from each Stl'e —one prepared by Gen. I. Dix, a - delegate from New York, and one by Amos Kendall. -The commutee disagreed upon the tariff and -the Bank of the United States. Both ad dresses were agreed upon what was then con sidered the radical view of the Dentocialic platy ;but as there was difficulty in so framing the addreps as to make it' agreeable to all-the States, f . and to various interests o locali les, it wax concluded to .dispense with it. Instead 'of alt address, the committee re periled to the Convention a 'resolution' that the delegation of each State be recommended' to cornmuuicate with ..heir constituents by Circular letter,by an address,or in such man ner, ite'they thought proper. In , connection with this, -John Forsyth, a delegate- from Georgia, proposed-a resolution for the adop tion of the COnvention,the substance of which was that the revenue collected flora duties should - be limited to sucharramountas would be-adequate to the support of the Goeern meat economieally administered, which he \ submitted to Mr, Wright and Mr. Flagg,. of New York. Mr. Wright suggested to • him that before proposing it to the Coaiention, and to avoid surprise, and perhaps disenssiou of the proposition, it should be first shoin the delegates of each State. Kentucky ob jected, and'upon the ground that the declare don would furnish . a weapon to Mr. Clay,tben the champion of the American systeM, which it would be difficult for theta to Meet- n Wits fatal to it, its a measure - of the- Canverr lion. But the delegates from New York incorporated the principle of the resolution of Mr. Forsyth into the addivs which had been prepared by Gen. Dix,and ei:h this addition, the Kirke% was signed by them and issued to \ their constituents. This wne the origin of the doctrine of a "Revenue Tariff," which thereaf.er beirime,, and ha' ever continued, - a ostdinal principle , el' the hem. craio party. The promulgaeon of V 1' doc&ne,in the N. w, York addr.s., created a sharp discussion add conti..rversy lb the canras.-, 1 -ut the Democracy was suedes•ful, and the doctrine web subse quently ineorpciwed into the resolutions of- Denieratic Couventions. Arils welt known, the "American SyStarn," as it was called, and of which Mr. Clay. was the autor and champion, contemplated a tariff, not fur the revenue, naerely;but for'pro lection to Manufactures; and of protection to such an extent as would not oily furnish means for- the iupport of Aire Government, whether "economicaUy administered" or not, but as would, at, the same t: me, furnish the Means to carry on a system of Internal .Im pr.avement iu the Sates. The %psi!' s Road bill had been vetoed by Gen. Jackson, :in 182 Q. l'he road, or a part of it, was lo sated itt,Kentutky, and, to connection with the tariff, which was to furnish the means for the construction, was', with the various other similarscherues connected with it, warmly advocated, by Mr. Clay. it wailer this reason that the delega'es from Kentucky, 'in the Convention of 1832, whbre-shy of the propo sition cf Mr. Forsyth, to confine the tariff to revenue for the support of the Government merely, for this would \have deprived them of the road, Which had nr-t keen given notwithstanding the veto of 1820, hut, con tinuell,with the various other similar schemes, estionved at - the time at *100,300,000, to form the main issue between the Whig .and Democratic patties.-9.
