asked 10 this Wow, has the United States
gained by this now measuse: Why it's
a Democratic triumph and il is law. But
Democracy is principle q justice 1.-THE
Federal Constitution il established was
to "secure The blessings Of Liberty
."to form moro perfect union, establish
iustice. and insure domestic tranquility"
and "promote the general welfare" But
tie Democracy which this Nebraska law
is of, is thing Of Bargains, oVer~
reaching and Of patronage, for sectional
advantage.
Mr.. Mason, in The U. S. Senate, says,
.{May 25sb) thai the whole that is essen>
,ial that is accomplished by this measure
is to get the "hieber principle es'a5'
ished on the Statute Book that hence-
loiih power is denied TO the Congross Of
the United States TO lcgislale for the
Ex cIusIoN of Slduery" lie says on this
ground, 81 do moi think we shall be rc-
bukrd Tor bad bargcia." What has
been barEaned? Why human liberty
for slavery. We think that for freedom,
FOR Democracy j, is very "bad bargain" !"
Our Representatives have been purchased
for Slavery with tho peoples money, and
the fraudulent purchase will be held a
compact which cannot be broken, For
faith is only violated against freedom.
True, they have permitted ceripin par
iially naiuraized foreigners 10 emigrate
10 the territory and vote, and this is made
The nominal consideration. But having
made their votes when there of no effect,
the consideration is worthless and worse
than worthless. 1t is an insult rather
| than boon. Aud territorial system is
established less liberal in substance than
The neghboring British Viceroyaty; only
more liberal in its working becnuse The
General Government is compelled in
most matters 10 be more temperate in
the use Of its large power. We find no.
I thing Democratic about il, in its prin-
clples, and we deny It's being so. But

The President iavors II. lie was moi

aembodmenl'' Of Democracy Ii is said
I this measure was the consideration for
his nomination; il so, we hive paid too
dearly for Northern President, and, we
think, we shall in future prefer TO vote
| for Southern Statesmen, when the "bar>
GAIN will have some chance 10 be on
our side. Fillmore, a Wing, bore his
whole Influence for the South-undef
| him the Cnnprnnnisoe Of 1850, the Fnsi-
tive Slave Law, aud like measures we're
forced through though when elected he
was secuted as an aboli,ionist. We got
Pierce, who the people esteemed hs
bound to the Compromise Of 1850 us a
"Finaliiy," and we have the Nebraska
Bill with the Repeal of The Missouri
Compromise, and no popular sovereignty
in fact. Now if we ge, Southern Presi-
dents, we shall find them disposed TO
concllia,e the North, as now il Is the
reverse. We suggest that as more prac-
lical than Repeal TO determine 10 have
.'no more Northern Presidents" ill
Slavery ceases TO be in the ascendant in
the National Councils. In this way our
Northern Statesman can get fair share
Iof the offices 10 the Executive disposal
without the terms now imposed, as mas
lional ijealousies and sacrifices would run
The oiher way, and our "bargains" would
then be for something, and not as now
empty bids at our expence Tor the iavors
Of hostile institution and those Of lis
advocates. m 5 la6
This is the only present practical
remedy. The cry Of Repeal, and agia-
ton may be useful to stop Slavery immi>
grafton, but for any other purpose IT is
worse than useless. And as we have
passed from compromises TO "bargains," !"
Why le. us make ours with the clarac-
terislic shrewdness for which the North
| is famed, and we shall do well.
