The State guard., 1848-06-27

, trol the domestic institutions of the sever al States, and that such States are the sol, and proper judges of everything apper
 taining to their own affairs, not prohibited
 by the constitution and all efforts of tht abolitionists, or others, made to induce , Congress to interfere with questions o slavery, or take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the mos alarming and dangerous consequences
 and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought mol to be countenanced by any friend of ouI political institutions"
 1 So it is seen that the Democratic party denies the right of Congress to act upon the question of slavery. MT. Yancey admits that they do deny the right in the States. We'll, in this resolution they have only confined themselves to States. But now we would again ask any reasonable man what is meant by the following, which will be found in the 4th resolution adopted at Baltimore:
 "That every citizen, and every section of the country, has right to demand and insist upon an equality or rights and privil- eges, and to complete an ample protection of persons and property from domestic vi- olence or foreign aggression"
 Thus giving to the people of the coun- try the privilege of settling their property in whatever territory they think proper. and claiming protection of the judicial tri- bunal of the country in which they may settle, which tribunals are the only depen- dence of the people for protection ''from domestic violence or foreign aggression. :" But Mir. Yancey's hostility does not lie in the Democratic Platform. It is against Gen. Cass, who has gone further than even the convention, in saying
 'I am opposed to the exercise of any jurisdiction by Congress over this mat ter; and am in favor of leaving to the people of any territory, which may here- alier be acquired, the right to regulate it for themselves, under the general princi- pies of the Constitution.
 But this cannot suit the fancy of Mir Yancey. He must have the action Of Congress to protect it. Thus giving to the abolitionists our own weapons to use against the South in carrying out their ne- farious designs.
 Now, we have to refer to the circum- stances attending the engrafting of these resolutions upon the Democratic Conven- tion at Montgomery, which MT. Yancey says are his instructions. After two days session of the Convention, and late in the night, after many of the members had left, supposing all would go on right, MT. Yancey drew from his pockets these resolutions, and presents them, that be noU bases as his instructions at the Balti- more Convention. He says these resol- ut ions were discussed in Convention at Montgomery. So they were; but few of the members then present understood their import, and so Mir. Yancey succeed ed in his object, which had been cut and dried for months. So it is plainly seen that Mr. Y. has here succeeded, before fair investigation could be had, of en. grating set of resolutions, which the whigs and abolitonists will hurl in our teeth for ages to come, and which, afier mature deliberation by the democratic yeomanry of Alabama, will be repudiated as distractions.
 His reasons for dissenting from the de- mocratic nomineees are based upon a weak prop, and one which will give way before the cool judgment of the democra- tic people of Alabama, and down his prop and he will go, nerer again to resusitate himself in their estimation. This much as to how hiS instructions were brought about.
 Now as to where they came from, we are not precisely prepared to say. But one thing is now certain, that deep game has been played, and we have every reason to believe Mir. Yancey has been and is now playing second fiddle. It was the plan of a certain species of politicians to keep Gen. Taylor mum, and in that way "hold him as the trump card" if the Democratic Convention at Baltimore did not nominate. MT. Woodbury, whose opin ions it seems have been confided to MT. Yancey's especial care and keeping, as re- gards the Wilmot Proviso, that they could ''play out" this trump, upon the "hand got at the convention," in the person of its nominee. Thus we see Mir. Yancey hay ing been engaged by, andi is now being used by this faction in getting up an op- position to the Democratic nominees These resolutions eminated from that quar- ter, and no other, immaterial what may he said as reUarls their notencv rThus
