The fullowing, trom the Emancipator, jxpresses our views exactly. Read it, ind think ui' il! Let thcre bo no bargains, no compromses. If wc are to succeed at all, (and he who thinks or says we shallnot, consigna bis country to an early overthrow,) it will bc by our firmness in adhering to the original furity of our designs and the openness of our procecdings. The party which was down last year and whrch bas with such unexpected rapidity regained its ascenduncy, was conscious that its overlhrow was caused by its ostenlatious devotion to the interests of slavery, and yet its unprincipled leaders are preparing g;iin to pledge the "Democracy" of New York to go all lengths that the slaveocracy niay require. Tho parly which has which has now been so suddenly pro3trated, while we have been rising, will now be very likely to Beek to throw its nrms around our neck to fcustuin its sinking fortunes by our.bü'oyan'cy. Hands off! - Let it sink as it rnuët, hut let it not sink U3. Our own principies will sustain us, if we cling lo ihem without compromiso. - Preserve us from any alliance wilh either of the present great partie3. We want their men, as converts to our principies, and devoted supporters of our objeets, hut we do not want either of the partieB, as 6uch, to cozen us io our ruin, that they may use our strength in the furtlerance of their harrow schemes, and then sacrifico us and our objecls on the first occasion. Let men join us by adopting our principies, and to aid ia the accomplishmerit of our ol.'jects, and lhcn ws shall know them. We carry D'ir cau?o nol to the"regencies" and ''junto'' of intriguing politiciüns and "leaders," so cali' ed,but to.the PEOPLE, the true democrocy of all names and parties. In this course, all we 'ask is a luir field, and no favor from slavery or ils abettors. As tothe heartless traders in politics, let the dead bury iheir dead. One of the great partios which in its mad carter after pow. er trampled down at once the si ave and his advocate and the true intcrests of the country, is now virtually annihilated - Letit STAY ATinihüoted, as a party, while the friends of irue liberty go on and annihilate the other. There ia where we stand, and where where to find us. If any ask us what we are going lo do, we answer tkDojusl as wo have done, go straighl long, with a firra step and sleady progres3 to our object,nominate our own men and keep nominatinguntil we e!ect them, which will be sooner than you think, but stand perfectly impartial belween the two proslnvery parties.
