THE NORTHERN DEMOCRATS CHICAGO TINES
AND THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.


National Igencer in which the soundness the north
ern democratic supporters of the Nebraska bill denied

to the relative positions of northern wings and northern
democrats have been frequent and bold of that
forced suppose that is the fixed policy Of that
journal keep up the deuson this subject which has
pervaded the wings of the South As the Intel
geer has relied upon the Chicago Times for proof to
tain in this Of deception is but fair that the
Times should be heard We quote the article below from
that journal in reply the Itegenes and earnestly
commend il TO southern open frank and full
statement of the real position Of northern on the
slavery question besides it win be found to be scathing
rebuke of the Hsgener for its reckless misrepresenta
tions of northern sentiment
DopoIsG IssuE-Some of the western papers afford
amusing instances OF artful dodging" 1t is often an
nounced that :" Nebraska resolutions unanimously
adopted and this sounds well to the southern democratic
But the uboined paragraph gives an insight into the
quality of the Nebraska resolutions See how cooly the
Chicago Times chucks the fact that the South have no
line OF protection, no barrier;

The National Inelgencer does not favor with an
change though feel honored in knowing that its editors
read paper We find the above in the Unon which pa
per kindly volunteered expose the injustice which the
Inelgencer does northern democrats. We do not know
whether the be the whole of the article of the lnte
gencer or not; it is all that we have concerning it,
The negencer does this paper injustice not so much by
what it says as by what oms say If it that
when we chuckle rejoice then the Integencer rightly
uterprets rejoicing that the unconstitutional barrier
which anacm caused to be erected between the peo
pie of the North and South has been broken dozen orerer
If the ntegencer in quoting that other article in our
paper had given few of its sentences entire would not
have said had dodged the issue This paper has al
ways and we would support any for office who did
no maintained that neither the North the South
entitled to- should have, protection but that which
the constitution of the United States aorded and that
a matter of perfect indifference to every rght-minded
fair and honorable manand SUCH said the demo-
candidates for Congress in this Statewhether the
constitution afforded protection to slavery not but
which every right minded fair and honorable
man felt deep interest in that the constitution in letter
and spirit should be fully maintained in every possible
stance and by every possible means
We went further took the ground and it the posi-
ton of the democracy of this Staethat if the constitution
gives STAKEHOLDER the right carry his slaves the terri
spite of congressional territorial enactment that
right contrary as is the general opinion the North
maintained and defended and protected by the North
as other right guaranteed by that instrument
We did rejoice that the niquitous barrier which shut
the eemen the North from the fertile plains south Of 36
deg. min. broken down, and 1--WE repeat) broken
down forever. We rejoice that the inquons barrier"
which in the eyes of semsane phanthropsts and insane
fanatics divided the American continent into two divisions
one consecraed freedom the other to slaveryhas been
broken down forever We object to any line dividing the
United States egally-to any designation dividing them
morayt any description dividing them iraernally We
know the thirty States of this Union States
of the American republic We not (or it not
busness) whether African slavery is or is not, tolerated in
one or ten or twenty of them. We care for the
existence of slavery Virginia than do for the rates
interest Msssspp and think the people of the North
have as much right be troubled about subject the
other This paper has consistently maintained and long
as it is opr charge viii continue to maintain, that the only
protection and barrier ta the South the North,
the the West is entitled to- with respect 10 slavery
other question of interest is that which the constu
ton affords 1t can demand more, and with the
Can Inteigencer say much for the whg party
free State of this Union, California perhaps excepted?
Will the Intelgencer point out single State wherein Af
rcan slavery is not existing in which the whig party has
not within the last s months openly declared that
institution? There is not whig candidate for Congress
fusons and wings being considered one and the
thing herein this State who does not openly his de-
sign the repeal of the fugitive law. The democ
racy think they best show their devotion freedom to the
general welfare the prosperity of themselves and their

letter the constitution OF the
States.
The democratic candidates for Congress in this State claim
not to be .the natural allies the South p but they claim
TO the natural Gies Of the friends of the constitutions
whether at the South or North
As to their sincerity which the gencer has called
question by sneer they best show it by facing armed
nobs fanatics hired nsuers, and maddened FOOLS
who think that by stopping discussion and insulting the de-
tenders of the constitution they strike blow the South
the other article speaking of these candidates said
what the Intelgencer quotes but that all said
As appeared il this paper that sentence read thus
They the democratic candidates Congress) are ut
tery opposed vduals to slavery Were the
existence suppression question which, under
constitution they had right decide, they would cheer
fully decide to set the captve free hey feel ne citizens
of Illinois and faithful guardians of her sovereignty from the
agressons of the federal government and of other States
that it is not their duty nor have they any power to dictate
