If there was ever time when the people needed prudent
counsel in my opinion il the present They have peen
surted with the Published evils present and future which
were TO follow necessary consequence upon The pas
sage of the act establishing the Territory OF Nebraska and
KANSAS and have really been made TO think tina the abro
CATION or repeal the law Of the Congress Of 1870 and
called the missouri Compromise renders all further adhe
renee TO the constitution of the United States unnecessary
and unwarranted by the northern States.
The has been seized upon by the aboilhonlsts
and wings to denounce the administration in unmeasured
terms having favored the passage Of the territorial bill
in question: and in advance they have pronounced the
threatened doom which TO follow its consummaton
Whether they satisfied with the result OF the abolition
riot Boston last week and the decision Of Commissioner
Loring TO render unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars remains be In the mean time, they Will
no doubt make the throughout the State of Mass
chusetts, well other States in New England to de-
nounce the law and the constitution, and matter Of
course The administration because it has demonstrated its
devotion to that instrument by causing the laws Of the
United States to be rigidy enforced.
Were the abotionss left to themselves they would soon
renquish the business Of stirring up riots and their ncen
diary andinsurrectionary teachings would fall harmless at
their feet but when the wings join hands with them they
are made literally mad and had rather sing the requiem Of
the Union for jubilee than the laws executed,
| fugitive slave returned to his owner.
Does any say that the administration the Nebraska
bill is chargeabe with the present abolition excitement
say il should be charged to the wings and those free-so
democrats who have manifested willingness to denounce
the constitutional laws regulating slavery the constitu
tiona rights of the slays States combined ruth the abolition
leaders who in the auspices of the moment while the
public mind excited, fit opportunity to fan the fame
and keep the damnable excitement up Tho wing party
has become aboitonzed and shall the democratic party
follow suit? In the OF Jefferson and the constitution
I hope and pray not
If many Of the northern presses had been half anxious
have explained the true bearing Of the Nebraska and
Kansas bill they have to denounce it in common, and
predict the calamtes which would follow its adoption,
there would be much less excitement in the country than
there but no, the abotonists and wings, seeing
the dilemma many fres-soi democrats have placed them
selves in, sounded the ALARM proclaimed the country in
danger called all hands to quarters and made grand
slaught upon the administration and those staunch dem
ocrats who dared maintain the compact OF the const-
tuition By all such maneuvres, the wing party seek to
gain strength and power They exist only by the aid Of
factions and sns, which induced to bargain and SELL
as occasion may warrant Them and for vaue received"
take just what the wings choose to give them 1t will
quesonaby continue to be the policy Of the wings keep
this abolition excitement mp and efforts will be spared
render the administration obnoxious for having acques
ced in the passage of the a dions Nebraska bill.
The democratic party have thus far in history shaped
the destiny of the republic they have planted themselves
firmly the rock of the constitution, and, in the language
Of Judge Story who gave it its sacred motto Eto per-
pea resolved to make perpetual Shall il be said that
they faer now and because its privileges and provisions
being extended Territory Territories asking
carefully and whether cannot advance the
Of democracy and freedom more by adherng gidy
OF the constitution than by endeavorng
prescribe lines which Jefferson forewarned
against As the question stands the slavery agitation
is taken of Congress and the people have control
And has anybody doubts or fears TO the ninatum
there? For my part think the question Ia clear
freedom will trumphthe people OF these Territories will
direct and the constitution and the law youchsaies 10
them the right to govern hemseres Hereafter then in
Congress- to agitate the slavery question: viii be TO agi-
the repeal Of the constitution. Let who takes
the responsibility upon himself to do this
Yours, in haste. IMPROMPTU
