From ne aberdeen Independent.
Who have striveR and are striving 10
prevent Slavery going to California.
We have often tlldded TO the very great in
larry done to Southern interests BY the coucss.
sloDs 80 imPrOvidently made by democratic
leaders--Ihe Walkers Classes, PoIks and Buch-
anans--'has slavery could not exist in CsllfoE.
MIA, 1t il ever is excluded from that reeior.
upon their concessions and thoif actions will
rest no small portion Of the responsibility, ap-
proved as they have been by Southern Demo.
SFacy, We last week called the.atGehlisn Of
the Oxford Organizer, which was lamehtinr
the current Of emigration to California from
the free States, 70 the tnoye Of Jas. X. Polk III
sending a northern instead Of a southern reri.
menl TO that territory, and 10 the boast Of his
Secretary Of State that It would tend to exclude
slavery IhereFrOm:
We append hereto an extract IRON i letter
written BY Thos. B.. Van Buren,, Of the Army,
formerly Of Albany, NJ ", now in California;
which throws much light on the real situation
Of affairs there, and on tho agency Of Mi.
Folks northern regiment 10 producing an anil
slavery feeling, No better system oE tactics
could have been employed for the exclusion Or
slavery from our Pacific acquisitions, than tina.
devised and acted upon by the Democratic
managerS. They have preached up the doe.
trIne that II was an abstract Father than prac-
teal question--that slavery could not possibly
exist or be re.established l~hefe-thag the laws
OF nature and the feelings Of the inhabitants
were against Ii. They set III motion The lido
Of eniigtaticnfrO nlthe North; BY sehding troops
exclusively taken from that section. TO their
northern frienda they boosted what would be
the legitimate; necessary effect of this move.
ColCurrently with all this, they breach the
doctrine that TO the people Of the i~eEftoty BE-:
longs the right Of legislation ID the subject OF
lavery--non-intervention on the part Of the
United States, and management BY the irhabi-.
tanss Of the territory Of their own internal con
Germs. Having thus checked Southern emf
grafton under the belief that slavery could NOT
exist there, and stimulated northern emierurionI
by sending thithsr volunteers from free States
alone, they are now endeavoring by forcs of
party drill TO obtain the assent Of the people
TO these doctrines Of nOR-interventiOn and ter
%rilorial legislation. Will The people Of tho
South crafty them in this? 10 ii not enough
that democratic conventions, leaders and ptess-
% in this district have ratified these quast free
soil sentiments Of Cass, Of Walker and Of
Buchanan, and have approved without a mur.
muir every portion Of P6lk's administration-I
even his sanction Of a bill legaIlzing the VIII
mot prOvisO, and his consequent attestation to
lie constitutiOnality! OF must the democracy
ofthis State and district be- called on to finish
The work, and by their support ofthis doctrine
Of non-interventioi and territorial Legislation
on the subject Of slavery, to complete the arch
Of free.soiliSm, which party managers have
been SO Sedulously engaged in erecting over
our new y acquired territories! laa BIZ #
Will they not rather, as they have oppottini-
~, elect to Congress, men true h their own
inleresls-men who have never spplauded the
cry Of Cass and Polk, that the whole question
was an abstract rather than p~raStical One, and
that slavery could never 60 to the now %torrito-
