Mr.. Buchanan for Slavery.


Mr.. Secretary Buchanan, as will be seen 10 an
other column, has made large bid for Southern
support in the next Loco Foco National Convention
so large that we are confident be would never
have have made il bad the death Of silss "nsnt
been known to him before be thus committed him
self Himself averriDg that the People OF tne
country west Of the Bio Grsnde are deeply hostile
to Slavery, be still insists on opening ooor Tor
forcing Slavery upon them admitting thst slavery
in that region would disgrace and degrade large
o,,ion of its present free inhabitants be declares
that we must compromise away their right TO be
sbielded from this oppressive and sbominsble
soourse Liberty. Principle, Humanity are all
wayne distractions, bat Slavery 10 & reality, and
must be respected accordingly. 1t demands foil
share Of the territory to be acquired from Mexico
and Mr. Buchanan, insisting that our concession
will do Slavery no practical good while 1t will give
the lie to axions Of government and de-
grade us 10 the ey es Of chstendom still insists that
we must concede TO the Union, or rather, the
Democratic party, from disruption and RUN. IL IL
always thus the North must concede away prln'
ciple. honor. consistency. everything but who
ever heard of a concession from that spirit OF ag
gressive Slavery which pretends to speak TOR the
South
Mr. Buchsnans attempt to run parallel be-
tween the question settled by the Missouri Com
promise and the present issue fails utterly in the
vital point Slavery already eristed practically IN
Missouri and legally in all the territory acquired
by us in the purchase Of Louisisna-had so exist
ed for many years prior to the transfer Of those re
oiops 10 us. What the North demanded in 1919
was not merely the exclusion OF Slavery from a re-
gion hitherto Free, bat its abolition IN district
where il had long been sanctioned by law. That
question was compromised as stated; bat DOW we
ore asked TO legslize the introduction and estao-
lishment Of Human Slavery in an unlimited region
from which it has long since been extlrpated'
Can IL be that the North will finch on this ques-
tion, Twice have the Free Ststes-the first time
without generalization, and again after mature con
alteration and discus sion--voted that they would
consent 70 No More Slave Territory. If they give
way now ought they not in common decency TO re-
solve never again 10 make stand against any de
mand of the Slave Power however iniquitous or
aggressive
Mr.. Buchanan. tacity' concedng that we are to
ACQUIRE territory South of Sc 30 grossly misrepre'
SCENTS the question when he talks of leaving the
matter open to be determined by the People Of the
new territory itself The practical question IT,
Shall the code of Freedom or that Of Slavery pre-
vail there prior to such decision BY the People
Give us the exclusion Of Slavery until the People,
in adopting their State Constitution shall deter
mine to adopt and legaze Slavery then we shal
have little fear that Slavery will Obtaia ioothold
thereafter But, let the line of the Missouri Com
promise be extended indefinitely westward over
territory hitherto Free, and ii will thenceorth be
held. as heretofore with regard to our own unor-
gapized territory south Of 36S 80 that Slavery has
been legaized there until the People decids to
abolish IT, and Shareholders overseers traders and
their understrappers of all sorts will pour into the
new territory with their victims-wih silence all
opposition BY Lynch Jaw process If necessary
will control the Judiciary and muzzle the
Press; and soon we shall have three " four new
Slave States knocking for admission into the Union,
taking OF their Vested Rights, Legal Property &c
&c and with the whole South threatening the Dis
solution Of the Union unless they are admitted.
There is bat one honest and righteous way OF
treating this point and that is to meet it fairly at
the threshold. II we compromise away our right
to confiae Slavery within its present limits, we
its extension and provide for our own punishment.
Every inch that we concede to Slavery however
oontingenty. will be srasped and welded by it. as
we have already seen with regard to Texas. There
Is honor and safety only in that avoidance of dan
ger which meets il bali way.
