the organization Of the "Terrritorics Of Ne
broska and Kansas" Now what these gem
tlemen have done to merit this rebuko from
the pen of "Crisis," appears from his arti-
Gle TO be this: They admitted the abstract
power Of Congress to pass the Missouri
Compromise-vo ugsinst Pierce for Pre-
sident-are opposed TO Atchison's re-elec-
ton to the U. S. Senate, and will vote for
Douglass bill. As to Miller and Lindley
he says, 1--WE heard them admit the power
in speeches "--ergo, 'lhcy are freesoil and
abolition wings" Well, Crisis, let's look
at this. You heard these gentlemen admit
the power in speeches before the people of
Missouri, and you heard Atchison, through
the Congressional Globe, admit ii in Con-
gress by voting an exercise Of ii time and
again. Now, Crisis, in all candor, tell It's
which is the worst-to deny The potCer here
before TIE people, and then rots 10 exercise il
after you get to Congress, or TO ddnla The
abstract power here before the people, but rOtc
against the exercise Of ii by Congress as IN
tair aid euJugt? Now answer me, Crisis,
which is the better politician of the two,
and which is the more deserving Of the con-
lldence of the people, the former or the lat-
ter? Atchson denies the power of Con-
oress, but has voted its exercise time and
again in the U. S. Senate; Lindley admits
the abstract power, but will vote against its
exercise by Congress, because he believes
it unfair, unjust and inexpedient.
Now which is the worse freesoiler of the
two, Lindley Or Atchison? The man who
is ever ready TO stand by and support the
constitution, not wishing to exercise pow
ers simply because they are granted, but
only when their exercise will foster and
promote the common veal of our common
country, or he who tramples the sacred con-
stituton of our model Republic under foot
violates the sacred rights Of the States,
and forfeits the sanctity of his Senatorial
oath?
Mark the distinction: Lindley denies the
expedency-Atchison denies the constitu-
tionality. Lindley votes against The eXer-
else of the power, as inexpedient-Atchison
votes for the exercise Of an uycoNsTIrU-
rloSAL POWER. Now, Crisis, if you can
reconcile Atchison's position before the peo-
pie, with lis votes in Congress, then you
are my man for the Senate, to ell his place;
for he cant reconcile them, and the people
are going to keep him at home for his du-
plicity.
Atchison's days in the Senate are num-
bered, and for you to be satisfied Of this
truth, you have only to call up to your mem
DRY the unamented fates of Green, Jackson,
Birch, SC. They were all, at one time,
high in the esteem and confidence Of the
democratic party of this State, but now,
alas! where are they? The yawning billow
of party strife has swallowed them, and
they have gone down to their political graves
''unwept, unhonored, and unsung."
Crisis tells us, ''that the wing party will
change its position, protempore, and fincss
upon the people, in order to keep in power
This l deny, and demand Of him something
more in its support than his bare "ipse dix
it," But let US see how the charge applies
to his pure, immaculate, and inSophiSticafeo
.Anf- Benton, .4tchiscn party, Of this State
The celebrated Jackson resolutions & nunc
requiescat en- pace" declare the long cher.
ished doctrine Of John c. Calhoun, ''tha
neither the Congress of the United States
nor any other power beneath the heaven
has right to prevent the people Of the
southern States, from carrying their SLAVE
property into the common territory CT OIL
common country" and this was but yester-
day the doctrine of this consistent Atchisol
party. To-day, Crisis tells Us, (and W.
suppose he speaks by authority,) that Doug
! las bill contains the true doctrine Of his par
ty. How is this, Crisis? Douglas bill pro
claims 10 the people of the Union the tri
umph of the "squotter Sovereignty" doe
triue the doctrine of Lewis Cass, the anti
fugitive slave law man. And you have de
serted your Jackson resolutions, and are il
for this new doctrine, like q flash, are you
, and give the wings in Congress thunder be
cause they are for it too, do you? But yo
, say they are hypocriical in supporting ths
r bill, because il is an administration measure
and they voted against Pierce for President
Well, that's very strange conclusion, frol
the premise-rather bad logic, l think
. Did you Crisis, vote for Pierce becaus
he is in favor of this bill? No sir, you di
not. You voted for him because he stood O
the Baltimore Platform, and there is not on
E word about that Nebraska bill in that Pla
form. Lindley, sir, was not sent to Cor
e gress to oppose the Administration, but fc
