Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1850-11-08

Two three years SINCE the buthen Of the song il
all the whg papers, was, the overbearng cncroach
mens of the slave power, the recreancy of the demo
cratic party in yielding to its dictatons, and the neces
sity of maintaining determined stand, on the grount
of''No MORE SLAVE TERRITORY, NO MORE SLAVE
STATES" The application of the Wimot proviso tc
any territorial bills that might be passed, and the with
drawing of the government from any connection witt
slavery responsibility for its existence further than
required by the constitutions were insisted upon and
all these declared to be Fundamental doctrines in
The creed ofthe party.
Time has passed on, and the party making these pro-
fessons, then in the opposition in the national govern
ment, has become the administration party and holds
the power, patronage, and emouments of the govern
ment in its hands. Eighteen months have passed and
gone since it acquired the power, long enough for to
have carried its professions into pracce-long enough
to have given vitality its avowed principles and to
have demonstrated the world that it had indeed the
superior love of freedom which it avowed over the
party that it had displaced. Let us see then what it
has done. When it came into power, all the immense
territories now known New Mexico and Utah were
free, being under the Mexican law which abolished
slavery and excluded it from its territory. But laws
have been passed under this administration aJoising
the merican law Of treedom and establishing territorial
governments, uithoa qtir,g the Vamot proviso, and
thus these territories thrown wide open to the in
PRODUCTION and establishment of slavery therein. Nay
more: by the same law, express provision is made that
the territories may hereafter be admitted into the
Union as SLAVE States.
Aocous all this is, it is but the beginning of the
TEN STATES as large as Massachusetts has been
wrested from New Mexico, where it stood some chance
to have established free institutions for ITSELF and plac-
ed under the dominion Of the slave laws of Texas so
that slavery established upon its soil without the hone
of relief In addition to this, TEN MILLIONS of dol
lars, chiefly of the hard earnings of the people of the
north, have been taken from National Treasury and
given to Texas an equivalent for yielding its claim
to still more of New Mexco--a claim which has not
shadow of foundation in law or equity.
And, to cap the climax Of the iniuuity, and to give
the complete and entire ascendancy to the slave
power freedom, the fugitive slave bill has been en-
acted-a bill that overeaps all the barriers of the con
sttuton, and rampes right, mercy truth, and humanity
under footan enactment which for the infamy of its
provisions has match in the annals of despotsm.-
All these enactments have received the sanction and
approval Of this wing administration. BY them, slavery
has acquired ascendancy that it never held before
More has been done for it, than had been done for thir
y years before, and all in eighteen months of whie as
cendancy-oithat party's ascendancy which had such
protested horror Of the whole slave system.
In view of this recreancy this treason to freedom and
humanity, who is there that will vote for the candidates
of that partyl He that does, proclaims himself
friend of slavery and foe to eedom-an upholder of
the worst despotism that ever existed. He makes him
self party to 1.-THE inquity of these laws in full view
of the responsibility He sanctions series of measures
which have done undermine our institutions and
to bring the name of repubcansm into contempt than
any thing else that ever occurred.
