nemocrncy-South and North.


Hon. ArLErr BrcKsEK Of Ky. made an able
and truthful speech in the late House Of Repre-
sentatives, maintaining that 81 very ought not 70
be extended to California, and that it was per
fectly night and proper for Congress TO restrict 1t
within its present limits. OF course, 'Democra-
cy' 10 outraged at such sentiments, and Geo A
Caldwell Loco, 10 out in opposition to Mr. Back
ner's reelection, making his battle entirely On
Slavery Extension. We fad in the last Louis
vile Dem )crat letter from the District, exultug
In the aspects OF the canvass and the probabilities
OF Caldwells election. The writer labors TO give
the impression that Buckher is frightened aud
trip. himself up by saying,
"His fBucknersl speeches now are too strongly
tainted with Free Soism suit the Southern views OF
this county The Colonel Caldwell takes the ground
that Congress has right under the Constitution 70
lessats Tor the Territories pom the subject OF Slavery
B1ekner contends the right and ths expedebcy Of
excluding Slavery from California and New Mexico,
and says the South comedies nothing in these unjust
demands Of the North"
He goes on 10 say that Caldwell is securing pro-
Slavery Wing votes 80 fast that Hon. Joshua 2
Bell former Wing Member, now Secretary OF
State) has had to take the stump in Mr. Buckners
behalf and concludes,
Tho great Southern parry in this district composed
Of Democratic and Whigs, will sustain Caldwell views
triumphantly in August And say 70 his friends In
ths dstrct, Elect him-he will battle Tor your rights
and submit TO nothing that is against your interests
always proving true and 1rm TO Southern interesn.
We ask our Wing Free Soers, who are
trying to fit their necks TO the yoke of the Free
Democracy TO look on this picture and con-
sider that it is "a part Of the game going on all
over the South. There is not Loco-Fo running
between the Susquehsnna and the Rio Grande
who is likely to lose vote because OF his alleged
unfsithfuness to Slavery while In many IT not
most Districts the candidates Of that party are
making capital out OF the Slavery question in spite
Of the frowns Of a Saveholding Executive, and
any quantity more of that sort. Thus Edward
Stanly's election is rendered doubtful in a strong
Wing District Of North Carolina; thus Humphrey
Marshall and several other Wings are pushed in
Kentucky as not heartily and thoroughly Pro-
Slavery; thss Senators Clay and Underwood are
10 be instructed if by all manner OF uDderhand
traficking a Loco Foco and Slavery Extension
majority can be secured in the next Legislature
Of Kentucky. We do nothing TO block this
game. but we cannot help watching it rather
closely, and We ask the Wing Free Sellers
those who do not forget that they once wsJe
Whigs-to consider what course becomes them
10 view Of the action of this "great Southern
party" Are they disposed TO range themselves
as its left handed allies, and aid it 10 organizing
the next House of Representatives
We solicit parley with our friends of the con-
tary part who take it i'll that we do not concede
to the late supporters of Gen. Cas- the terms
Democratic and Democracy whereby they
choose to be distinguished. They urge that it is
bat courteous to do so: we answer that to the
best OF our knowledge, it would be extending
courtesy at the expense of truth. The party
which throughout the Free States has ever shown
itself most hostile TO the removal of Political dsa
bilities founded on Color which in the Slave
States has ever been most violent IN its hostility
10 any step looking toward Emancipation-wh
is now most vociferous in demanding the Exten
sion OF Slavery into New Territories-whch
lately defeated Emancipation in Delaware
which to-day leads and makes capital out OF re-
sistance to Emancipation, however gradual or re-
mote, In Kentncky-whch for years has won
power and office by bounding down every South
ern man who saw ft to take liberal or moderate
ground respecting 6avery-that party cannot be
rightfuy termed Democratic. These are not half
the reasons for conclusions. but they are suth-
cient. We are not now claiming that the Wing
party IS specially Democratic, but only showing
that the Loco Foco Is not. We ask candid oppo-
nents who know what Democracy means, and
themselves mean that when they use the term, TO
judge If we are not right.
