or moral between slavehodins in soy tobe
ACQUIRED territory savehodng IN that already scqn
red. 1.-The will rot support s0y for the Presidency
who Is In favor Of holding slaves In Texas OF Csoths
upon what pracpe does he support man loi Ine
depey who holds slaves in Kentucky Evening hrIof
~ We have e rather short answer for the
Mirror and we will give it frat Yankee'fsshion
The Mirror supports Gen Taylor for President
who owns and works lot Of slaves and r cotton
plantation down the Mississippi: Now, suppose
candidate were proposed who had made his Tor
tune by slave.trading from Africa to Brazil and
Caba, we think we do not over estimate the
saueamishness of the Mirror in saying that 1t
would regard that circumstance as an obstacle to
its supporting him. But whyl This is e question
substantially Of the Mirrors asking Will it sup
ply an answer!
But having ans wered the Mirror according to its
folly. we will answer in the other manner sug'
eested by Solomon. We hold ourselves bound by
the Federal compact not to use any power given
as by that compact to overthrow State institutions
whose existence was clearly recognized and sanc'
toned in the formation of that instrument. Our
fathers virtually agreed for US that we would not
use the club which the South put into our hands Tor
the purpose of breaking her head las she thinks ;
nee think il is only breaking an ulcer thereon, and
that she would be vastly the better for it but as
she has not employed as her doctor on tins sub
iect we have no right to operate against herwli)
We hold ourselves bound in good faith either to re-
pudiate the ederal Constitution entirely or to use
the powers it gives us as the South had right to
expect we would when she accepted that instru-
ment.
Now the extension of Slavery into new and free
/ L., Iou Of
the blood and treasure of the whole Union, Is al
entirely different affair. We know well, not only
by the silence Of the. Constitution itself but by the
passage of the famous Ordinance OF 1857 by the
Continental Congress just before the Constitution
vas adopted and it's reenactment by the Federal
Congress just after that event. tnat IL heSor
vas agreed nor intended that Slavery should be go
extended into new territories by the power and IN
der the authority of the Federal Union Such ex
tension is in clear violation Of the Federal compact
as much as an agreement of all the Free States to
overthrow Slavery by never more allowing slave
holder to hold an Office under the Federal Consttu
ton would be- We defer to the compact; we IN
sist that the South shall do likewise. We insist
that the Federal Government shall neither disturb
Slavery where it legally exists, nor establish 1t
where it legally is not Is this hard to be under
stood even by the Mirrorl
of course, the intelligent reader must realize
that we never said what is imputed to us by The
Globe, nor anything else implying Mr. Clay
favors the extension Of Slavery ovel Free SOIL
w know better. The facts are as follows;
Just as the meeting at Dover dispensing at
| a late hour one OF the Loco Foco ex officers, who
did not seem to feel well, inquired. in reference to
our remarks just made the Free Soil question
Will you support Mr. Clay or Gen. Taylor TOR
Presidenti' Our instant reply was, Neither, it
he is in favor of planting Slavery on soil previously
Free" We stand there.
