Preble County Democrat

What is Intended.

The Garrison Abolition party is only the advance guard of what is called "the Republican Party." Garrison, eight or ten years ago, was where the Republican Party is now—and hence, where that party is to be ten years hence, we can see by the following Garrison programme:

"We reiterate our former declaration, that the object of the society is not merely to make "Liberty national and Slavery sectional"—nor to prevent the acquisition of Cuba—nor to restore the Missouri Compromise—nor to repeal the Fugitive Slave bill—nor to make Kansas a Slave State—nor to resist the admission of any new Slave State into the Union—nor to terminate Slavery in the District of Columbia and the Northern Territories—but it is, primarily, comprehensively and uncompromisingly, to effect the immediate, total overthrow of Slavery, wherever it exists on American soil, and to expose and confront whatever party or sect that seeks to purchase peace or success at the expense of human liberty. Living or dying, our motto is "NO UNION WITH SLAVEHOLDERS, RELIGIOUSLY OR POLITICALLY."

In behalf of the Executive Committee,
WM. LLOYD GARRISON, Pres't
S. H. GAY.
Secretaries.
WENDELL PHILLIPS,

This is frank and manly—and it is just what abolitionism means—the dissolution of the union of the slaveholding and non-slaveholding states.
