Many Of our wisest take the ground that slavery
cannot be extended over the new territories without
the action of Congress. This is nlso the ground
taken by T. H. Benton, in his late great speech in
Missouri. We have veto be convinced that Congress
will ever be SO blinded TO their duty, to sanction
the introduction of slavery into the now free
territories Of California and New Mexico. The peo-
pie of those territories utterly opposed to slavery
in all Its forms.

The Union contends, that the Democratic
party never prescribed men for their poll
teal opinions sake. The effrontery Of snch
claim is, perhaps, without parallel in the
annals Of politics. A valued friend has
kindly furnished US with the following ex-
tract from the United States Telegraph Of
January 18th, 1929, giving an account Of a
feast held in this city by the Democrats Of
those days, from whom the Democrats Of the
present day claim a lneal descent. In re-
producing this extract, we have no purpose
Of rejecting upon the President and Vice
President Of that feast, in their present per-
sonal or political relations. Our sole object
is to prove that the Democratic party was,
and is proscnptve party in principle and
in practice, and that they anblushingly avow-
ed the doctrine and the practice, and sought
to defend and support it by the most revolt
ing arguments and sentiments, as will be
seen by the toasts given in the extract.

from the virtues Of d youthful and emulous people
II could not be blasted by judicial preudices or even
by legislative injustice; and the other hand It Is
happily fostered by our jurisprudence.
American invention will therefore prosecute It's
noble researches and compel nature TO give up the

The only question involved in protection of pro-
perry in inventions, Is whether our own country
shall enjoy them first The artists and philosophers

Roman greatness above even their n alive land
American dscoyerers, If disovsneel by their coun-
trymen, will lay at the feet of thrones, treasures
of which the Republic will Thus have proved itself
