Another Sound and Reliable Democrat
The editor Of the Union is in ecstacies at the
election of Mr.. BRoDHsAD as Senator from
Pennsy lvania. Hear him.
sWe hail the election of Mr.. BRoDHEAD with
great pleasure. He has served with considera-
Die credit in the House of Representatives
where he distinguished himself By an early able,
and decided speech against the Wilnua Propiso.
He is true on this great question Of The day.
The Union has been at fault so often, in con-
graduating the country from time to time on
the elevation Of national men," that no one
attaches the smallest credit to its commcnda-
tons. That able and decided speech against
the Wmot ProSiso," proves two things-lst
That Mr.. BRopHEAD is a high tariff man, having
lectured h;s.colleague CHR. WILMoT) for being
the only Pennsylvania that voted for the act OF
1916, re ucing the duties imposed by the act OF
IS42-and, Cd That he (Mr. BRoDHEAD) was
actually in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, and 81
announced himself in that sable and decided
speech against the Wilmot Proviso." Wequo.e
the following paragraph, as written out by Mr.
D.,
I'd session. 29lh Congress, page 1871:
al have thus, Mr. Chairman, briefly stated my
objections TO my friend and colleagues (Mr.
WnMoTs) celebrated amendment. will now
make some observations of general character
upon the subject of slavery, in relation to which
80 much has been said in this debate in order
that nv position and views may not be misun
derstood. First, however, permit me to pre-
mise, that If we had acquired either New Mexico
or California and a bin was before the House
providing territorial governments therein, or a
bin was before the House proriding for The AID
MISSION of either of those provinces as States.
Cthe territory being first acquired by treaty. ]
would VOTE for a PROVISION EXCLUDING SLAVERY.
/ faror the principle contained in the amendment
Of my colleague, and will go for engrafi7g it
upon he Legislation of the country; but in the
proper form and at the proper time and place,
and when the power to do so can be rightfuly
exercised"
BY reference to the speech, it will be per-
ceived that Mr.. BIS objection to the proviso
then, consisted in the fact that the territory had
not yet been acquired. So soon, however, as il
was obtained, he pledged himself to favor the
proviso, and would engraft IT on bills organizing
governments.
But the Union thinks all this merely neces-
sary to give to its favorites an odor Of nation
atty" The record is serious drawback to the
compromisers as well MS to their obsequious
toadies Of the press, blessed with conreniem
memories

On the Measures af Adjustment" at ae City
a n Hal, Chicago, Illinois
This IA bold and able defence of the Fusi-
tive slave law and the other compromise mea-
sures. 1t was delivered at Chicago, immediately
after the city Council Of that place had passed
an ordinance to nullify the Fugitive Law. and
caused the immediate repeal Of the ordinance
We don't suppose, and it does not appear
from the speech, that there was much difficulty
in persuading the people Of Chicago to sub
nit to the other measures of adjustment"
which gave to the people Of Illinois and their
Northern brethren all the share Of the South in
the new territories. Although the great znal
displayed by the city and city council Of Chicago
for the rights Of man against the Fugitive slave
law, we would suppose should have prompted
them to resist at all hazards and to the last
extremity" the robbery by act Of Congress, Of
the share which Southern soldiers had won
battling side by side with the soldiers of lii
nois.
Senator DOUGLAS is one Of few liberal
Northern Senators, of whom VIC entertained the
hope to the last that they would have the mo raj
courage, or the political sagncity to come out in
favor Of Just adjustment If but one Northern
Senator had done so, he would have endemred
himself to every patriot heart--he would hive
occupied noble position in history-aye, nd
we would think his pathway to the Prcsideu cy
would have been quite rs practicable, as to hive
to contend for Northern votes with the cohort OF
Southern spoilers. And we will just take this
occasion to say, that whatever may be said
about the impracticability of re-adjusting the
adjustment, it will have to be done. The over
throw of the adjustment may be difficult, it is
not so difficult to sustain it, and not half 80
difficult as for its authors to sustain themselves.
They have not been just enough to have the
support Of the South, nor quite so aggressive as
to be popular at the North.
