Of the greatest riumphs permitted to living states
manan almost universal acquiescence in the principles
he FIRST laid down in great emergency and upon no
other principles il is clear the Union be preserved
We will close this article by briefly stating General
Cass position for the benefit of the Richmond Enquirer
and of everybody else who is ignorant of it, He main
tains;
That Congress had power to pass the Wilmot pro-
yiso;
That Congress has constitutional power slavery,
either in the States Territories except to provide for
carrying into execution the fugve-save requisition;
That the Territories entitled selfgovernment in
all respects not controlled by the constitution;
That slavery can only exist by virtue of the law of the
place.
That there is no provision in the constitution which
res slavery into any Territory where il did rot exist at
the time of the acquisitions
That it can only exist there by virtue of law passed by
the territorial government
All this Gen Cass has steadily maintained And this
right of segovernmen from which these results flow has
been nicknamed by its opponents squater sovereignty
Let it be called what il may, it exists in the principles and
in the hearts of the American people,
Every man who voted for the Nebraska bill voted In Ell
feet for the establishment of these principles for II the
constitution gives the right to take slaves to Territory
then Congress authorize the territorial legislature
TO take away this right
And this constitutes the triumph of Gen. Cassthat the
South, which first peculiarly opposed to the view
this local power slavery has come up almost
as one man. to its support Wswi wager our democracy
against the Emperor Nicholas and his advocates that the
writer of the article in the Richmond Enquirer has had TO
surrender of his extreme anatica opinions to the
march OF truth and that he has not the magnannity TO
forgive the man who contributed much to the estab
lishment of correct principles,

of the last session of Congress the depart
ment having the supervision of Indian affairs
mended to Congress the propriety of ordering three adj

frontiers from the Indians Congress failed to grant this

GEN. CAss AND HIS SOUTHERN AssAlLANTs.
We invite careful perusa of the article from the De-
troit Free Press vndicaton of the political orthodoxy
of Gen Cass against late violent attack by the Rich
mond Enquirer 1t has long been matter of surprise to
that any portion of the politicians of the South should
cherish feelings of hostility to statesman whose public
services pre-eminent as those OF Gen. Cass Ii
southern will tolerate differences of opinion as to
the abstract question Of slavery and Will prosefoe all
northern men who do not eoncede that the institution
moral social blessing there is OF necessity an emu 10
all hope of fraterna relations between the free and the
slave States Northern fanatics denounced with JUS
,ce by southern men because they seek interfere with
the local institutions OF the South thereby prescribing
southern because they tolerate slavery in their midst
With what success can northern be thus appealed to
against the aggressons Of anatcism southern men are
equally intoerant towards northern men who believe
slavery an evil yet acknowledge and abide by the con-
sttutona which recognise and protect as
lawful institution? Those raternal feelings ON which
alone the Union be pepetuated cannot be maintained
unless spirit of forbearance and federation is mutually
cultivated between the North and the South The obga
ton is as strong southern northern men to Guilt
vate those sentiments but such assaults as the enquirer
INDUCES in towards Gen. Cass wholly irreconcabe
with this necessary spirit
The injury resulting from such course or intolerance
is strongly illustrated in letter which we have from
Chicago in Illinois We informed that the reesoerS
there using the article of the Enquirer in mat quarter
to excite preudces against Judge Douglas hss Serious
embarrassing the contest in which that fearless champion
of democracy is engaged But we heed not dwell upon
the practical consequences of such attacks upon northern
democrats They are obvious that it is only matter OF
surprse that the able editors of the Enquirer did not abb
stain from ndugng in such structures Without further
remark we surrender large space the very able vnd-
cation of Gen. Cass by the Free Press.
