The Constitution.

The editor Of the Democrat cites the
resolution demanding the entire repeal of
the Fugitive Law, as evidence that the
Republican party are disposed to violate
the constitution to accomplish their ends.
Daniel Webster took the position years
ago that Congress had no right under the
constitution to pass fugitive law.
In 1852 Robert Rantoul made speech
in Congress, in which he proved that
Congress had no right under the conSti-
ton to legislate on the subject.
Chas. Sumner, soon after made anoth-
er speech in which, if possible, he gave
new force to Rantoul's position, and Meth
er speech ever has been. and never can be
controverted.
a few days since Mr.. Benjamin, a Sen
ator from Louisiana, tacitly admitted, on
the floor of the Senate, that Congress had
no right TO legislate on the sjibject.
And in addition to this, and most i'm
portant of ALL our Supreme Court, the
highest tribunal in the State, has just
declared the law unconstitutional.
Now the editor of the Democrat has q
great reverence for the legal law, and we
submit to him, whether as liege citizens
ofthe state, we are not really bound to de,
mand the repeal Of this law out of rcgard
for the constitution. According to the
decision of the Court, it is the Democrat
ic party who have not only violated the
constitutionbuts set themselves up against
its being restored to its original purity
while the Republicans are really the con
stitution-loving law abiding citizens.

THE FOREIGN WAR.

1t no doubt seems to the readers Of
Foreign News, that the tremendous
events which they have been led to ex-
pect by every arrival, are long time
tranSpiring and coming to hand.
As near as we can gather from a pc
rusal of the Foreign News, none Of the
parties to the present war, if we except
Turkey alone, appears to be in earnest, or
acting in good faith. This, if so, arises
from the fact that the several nations OF
Europe, being despotiSms in common, have
really common instead of divided in
terest. The alliance of the several pow
efs of Europe against Bonaparte, in the
latter part Of the last and beginning of the
present century, was very natural one
but the present alliance now Of England
and France against Russia. has puzzled
the most acute. We fear il means moth
ing. 1t is true the People both ofFraace
and Britain, feel with Turkey and against
Russia but the governments of those ma
tons are very different matter from the
people.
The delays in urging forward any de-
cisive movements, seem to arise from the
hope and efforts to patch up peace
This peace will secure nothing whatever
to Turkey, nor to liberalism in the world
but will provide for keeping down Hun
gary. Poland and all other crushed nations,
and for the safety of the Dcspots now on
the thrones.
The people of England are beginning
to apprehend such a result, as we infer
from the tone of many public meetings
we notice being held. KossUTH has been
addressing the people ofthe United King
doms at several points, and the burthen
Of his remarks seems to contemplate such
a result to the present war. The unde
fined position Of Austria, and the general
delay in the prosecution Of the war, all
point to such result on the part Of the
belligerents.
One thing is certain, in our view-th7t
nothing adverse to the interests of Des-
poti,m will be done by any of the parties
The war of liberalism has not yet com
menced, but will soon after the projected
peace is patched up, and will be prosecu-
ted by the People of Europe on one side,
and the Despots with their bought sol
diers on the other.

Slavery PropagandlsIn.


The Democrat can white down " iiai'
to considerably finer point than we
| should like to try to.
The editor of that sheet knows, Drought
70 know. that the South entirely dlscardS
the idea that Slavery cannot exist except
created by law on the contrary they
claim the right to take and bold their
slaves where they please, just as any other
property. And this was really the point
involved in the repeal Of the Missouri
COMPROMISE. and was the sentiment which
triumphed in that repeal. We see no
difference between Kansas nOlU and what
South Carolina aUdS in its early settle
ment. According to the admission OF the
Democrat, slavery owes its existence trst
to brute force. and if the brute force OF
the slave hol1ers in Kansas is stronger
than the brute force of the slaves, we
cannot for the life of us see why they
cannot establish slavery Just as well III
Kansas as it was originally established in
South Carolina. Win the Democrat in
form us how the territory of Missouri
and Arkansas became Slave Territory,
and are now slave states; how slavery
became established in Texas and Texas
now slave state and tell us at the same
time the difference between Missouri,
Arkansas, and Texas in their first settle
ment, and Kansas n0lr and what there is
in law to prevent the latter from becom-
ing slave state any more than the for
mer?
Editors can sit in their closets and draw
fine spun theories of what can and can
not happen, but the world moves quite
independently of all such speculations.
We find that thus far, Slavery has mo-
we'd into and taken possession Of all the
Territories of the Government where the
interest or cupidity Of slave holders has
impelIed them. There was not the re-
hottest reason under heaven for the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise, except
to withdraw the prohibition against Sla-
very in those territories, to the end that
it might spread over them, and the spec
ulations of the Democrat to the effect
that this repeal amounts to nothing and
effects nothing, because slavery will not
90 there until some law is passed invi-
ting it, is not only directly in opposition
to its 6.Yn '.brute force" theory, but is
opposed 70 the whole history of slavery
prop gandisia the world over. The fact
simply is, that IS long as the slave inter
est holds the controlling power Of the
government, it will 60 where it pleaSes.
When the government falls into the hands
Of the Free interest. if it ever should,
then slavery will be restrained, and not
till then. And the man who is willing
to leave the government in its present
hands, is propaganlist Of slavery, wha-
tevcr may be his protestations to the
contrary.

Kissing the name of Henry Clay.

The great question whether the name
of HENRY CLAY was Kissed at the last

cussel in the papers. To the best Of our

numerously. We happened to be stand

self to the movement, and had spoken
with beauty and effect-as he always does
on the stump. He made compliments
nv allusion to the wing party which the
republicans below contradicted and Kissed.
He then erected his form to its full hight
and said, Hiss away, you fanatical scoun-
drels. as you did before at Henry Clay;
who is in the heavens with Washington"
At which the place about US became vo-
cal with eloquent hisses.-kenosha DEM
0crdt.
We deny every material allegation Of
the foregoing.
We stood beside the writer, and we
know nc knows they are not true.
Mr.. Orion, contrary TO what was deem
ed good taste, went into an extravagant
laudation of the old Wing Party-saying
it had Arrays been on the side of libcr-
ty and antl-slavery." At this much muir
muring, and one or two Kisses were Civ
en-. Mr. Orion then abusingly denounc-
ed his audience, calling them "fanatical
scoundrels," and such like terms. The
kissing was then .hrp, vociferous, and
prolonged.
1t was MyroH H. Orton, and NOT the
name of Henry Clay, who was Kissed,
and the writer Of the foregoing article
knows it.
Indeed an analysis of his own version
will show that Mr.. Clay's memory was
not hissed.-D.

The Democrat on "Anti.Slavery."

IF slavery agitation should cease their
party couldnot stand. Its platform would
be gone: hence what powerful motives
sway them to make broader the distinc-
tions between themselves and other par
ties, and when in the progress OF poHt-
cal revolutions these distinctions grow
faint. to mark them out anew and to ag-
gravate them"
Exactly 50; 0, second Daniel! When
in the progress Of political revolutions
these distinctions grew faint, and there
was danger of there being no more food
for anti-Slaverv men to feed o. and grow
fat and "agitatc," then they set them
selves to work to make a fugitive law,
didn't they "Dancl?" which at once arous
cd the whole country and opened anew
all the bleeding wounds. And when d
great Convention met at Baltimore and
made finality platforms, and said let there
be peace and elected a Peace Candidate
to the Presidency and agitation grew sick
and these distinctions again grew faint
then again o. Dan. these anti-Slavery men
set themselves to work to repeal the Mis-
souri, Compromise, did they not, for the
purpose of marking out anew and aggra-
waiting these distinctions which were grad
ualIv fading out. Who, but the editor Of
the Democrat would have ever detected
these aggravating efforts on the part Of
anti-slavcry mcn2
| We are quite willing to admit the truth
that if the slavery agitation should cease
there would be no use OF an anti-Slavery
party, and none would exist, but as long
as we have slavery propagating party
headed by Pierce. Douglas & Co., and tail
cd by the Democrat and its allies all over
the country. who make fugitive laws and
repeal the Compromises of Freedom and
seek to extend slavery over the whole
nation, there's no probability, while there
is another class of men with heads and
hearts, that the agitation will cease. The
Ant'-Slavery party owes its existence and
Its growth to the labors of just such men
as those We have alluded to. 1t ney er
was 50 strong as now. just after the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise by these
men, and we have not shadow of idea
that these "propagandists" and ~acoui-
escers" viii ever give it an opportunity
Of getting any less in numbers.
The extract we make from the Demo
crat is specimen brick" of column
