meuion The name OF Governor Johnston II assais Mr.
Rider and the democracy with the plain and manifest de-
am 10 produce the belief that the Compromise will not
l. ,upportsd BY The democracy Of The Keystone State
o,pd the object Of The article conessedy to rebut the
III. hst The Compromise. il supported at ALL must be
ooorsd BY the democracy Of the free States in opposi
,'an u The wings of those States. The assault upon
c.ys0or Bger and the manner Of his election was in
,od,d as commentator OF the wha party OF Pennssl-
.os, 81 an assault on tho democracy Of Pennsylvania
ne only other superstition benz that y ;%ss ,ncx 10
mislsad The ignorant We have already shown wha,
ouot Of praise Governor Johnston and his supporters
ds,srye we have discharged our task unskiltully
,l We are willing that the Louisville or any other
journal make the most that can be made by directly or
indirectly sustaining Governor Johnston and the wings
who supported him.
We now turn 10 Mr. Biger and the democracy The
Iouisve Journal states that lie was member OF the
State Senate .when the law refusing the OF the aS
of the State for the confinement OF fugitive slaves was
passed in tina. body by unanimous vote bat does not
s,ste that Governor Johnston, his wing opponent mas
since the passage Of the Compromise, VETOED AN ACT 70
REPEAL THAT LA*. Again we call attention to the
words Of the Journal 1t states that Mr. Bigler was
member OF the State Senate when the restriction law
"was passed in that body by unanimous VOTE"
One would infer from this statement that Mr.. Big
Ter approved the law and voted for IT, That this
would be wrong inference, we do not think 1t
necessary 10 prove to our readers. We have ex.
blamed that transaction often, and copied the ex-
PLANTATION Of Mr. Bgler recently, that it is unne-
cessary 10 20 into details The convention which
nominated him gave explicit sanction to the measures of
adusment and in all his speeches he has responded 10
thai sanction in the manifest manner, declaring his deter
mination TO sustain the fugtivesa law, and his de-
sire TO give the Of the Pennsylvania as for the safe
keeping Of fugitive slaves and censurng the conduct OF
Governor Johnston in veoig act which would have
had that effect The Pennsy vania democracy has planted
itself on the Compromise. Its candidate saked his
election on the faithful observance Of the Compromise
al the allied forces Of wings, higher men, and the
abeers Of the Chrisana outrage, led by the abo-
lionst Johnston, have been overthrown. If the Louis.
vile Journal make anything by critcising that vic
iory-anything by assailing Mr.. Biger-anyth to
forward the end it seeks to accomplishhen we pity its
readers.
Other States are reviewed in the article we have been
reviewing. But We have noticed only those as 10 which
the proof was nearest at hand. Had time and
space, We might 60 further; but we have said enough
10 enable readers to judge of the accuracy of the
Louisville Journal in political history. Had we time,
might expose at every point; and will do when
il shall come forward and point out the free States in
which the democratic party has refused tomaintan the
Compromise, and those in which it has sustained the
Compromise setting forth those States in which the wing
party has done likewise. We admit that many of the
democrats OF the Union opposed the Compromise but we
say that the democrats OF the North acquesce the
Compromise, and say further, that the wings of the
North do not acquesce in the Compromise, but. as
party, have sought 10 destroy the Compromise by with
holding their support from the fusiive-saye law as it
stands on the statu,ebook.
