Policy of the Republican Party Foreshadowed,The Washington correspondent of the
New York Heraid, in his letter of February
3d bas some interesting speculations upon
the policy likely to be adopted by the Republicans iu the present crisis, He says :
There seems to be a new and unexpected
turn of the crisis, and the question is seriously asked: Isit day ur blacker night
ahead? The leading epirits of the republican party are far abead of their adversaries, Every one now understands how completely they outwitted thg Southrons in the
diplomacy of statesmanship pending Crittenden’s peace propositions. bey acted
upon a single idea. Dvide the South but
keep the North united. They were silent
to hear the South talk themselves to death,
and they won, But now the new conferences present a point of danger to them
which drives them from the let-alone policy
and compels themto take the iuitiative.
They change the question right about face
and put themselves six months abead of the
movement,
The future will present a question of
_ boundaries not a question about slavery or
. the Territories,
‘This new policy of the republicans admits the loss of the whole of the slave States
except Maryland and Delaware, They admit that the border slave States are not
masters of their own fate, and sooner later
must go with the planting States. They
bave made up their minds to this, But
slavery in Maryland and Delaware is not a
necessary institution, and may give way
before the money power, to which the republicans will not seriously object, If they
conclude to adopt this new policy, they are
ready to say to the rest of the slave States
—“Goin peace, We do not propose to
force you into a fight against your appeal
for peaceable. secession, Let us settle the
only question between us, the one of boundaries. On the rest we know we never can
agree, and our highest desire is to part in
peace,”’
Boundaries—what boundaries? Imperturbable in bis policy, the republican embraces the Oapitol and the government
archives, and all the memories which belong to them, by indicating :—First—The
lines of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, leaving the States of Missouri, Arkansas and
Texas free to chose their own position,
Second—The fortifications at the Tortagas, controlling the Galf, and those covering the mouth of the Mississippi river,
That is all. Thatisthe advanced state
of the great question, the point of the revolution now being seriously considered
among statesmen, No war, no fighting, unless the South madly runs a muck and
must havea fight with somebody. The
. unity of the republicans still assures the
union of the Northern States, and promises
a peaceable Union of those States with the
Canadas ; and now they strike the nerves
and interest of commerce to gain their point
leaving Seward and the Conference to deal
with fossils like slavery and the Territories,
This policy now sorlobely considered by
leading statesmen of the republican party,
if adopted, the next step already indicated
above, will bea peaceable union of the
Northern States with the Canadas, creating
at once an empire much greater, freer,
stronger and more enlightened, as a whole,
. than ever existed upon the American contineut before. It would be an empire in full
sympathy with Great Britain. Once in active operation its policy would be to invite
emigration to the vast free Territories of
the West, open them up, develope their resources, create new States, open communication with the Pacific States, not only by
a tier of free States, but by a direct line of
railroad. Next acquire Mexico and Central America, peaceably if possible, but acquire them and hold the key to the two
oceans. Thisis the policy. It commences
with the settlement of the boundaries, and
if the South object to the national line herein indicated nothing but war will settle jt,
Mark the prediction, This is the only basis
upon which the North will acquiesce in a
peaceable settlement of existing affairs,
The New York Tribune, which speaks the
sentiments of a large proportion of the Republican party, regards the] establishment
ofa Southern Confederacy as ingvitable,
and in an article upon the subject, in its isasue of February llth, says:
The United States Government must
treat the Secession movement as being just
what it is—a revolution, The first and
highest daty of the Government is to guard
the safety and interests, present and prospective, of the loyal States, It has no tall
to ran after the stray sheep of the flock, till
the main body of the broken herd is secured.
The first necessity is firmly and immovabl
to limit the Secession movement where it
trenches upon the interests of the Free
States, It must be checked at the Potomac.
It must be arrested at the Mississippi. It
. must be watched in the Territories. The
Galf cf Mexico must be held ander Federal
. control.
