John Quincy Adams In 1870, and
the american party I'm 1855.

In the lecture Of Rev. Mr.. Day,of Boil
lows Falls, in this village. some weeks since,
on "Romanism in the Unlied Slaes - Our
Dangers and Du,ies." reference was made
to lhe opinions and State policy of John
Quincy Adams, while Secretary ef State,

question which is now so prominently be.

our national and STATE government 10 the

one principle which pervades all The inslilu-

Of the United States has no right to pfchib-
il slavery in anu of its territories, and that
slavery may be carried into any territory of
the United States, if the people who emil
|grate. choose to carry it there. In other
words. that the people eiofths territories may
do just as they please, not only in regard 70
slavery, but also, in regard to every thing
else, and that Congress has no right to in
terfere with them,
Once more: The so.called Democratic
party Of Ohio, endorse all the acts of Presi-
ident Pieree's Administration, and defend
all his measures. What are some of these
acts and measures? We shall mention but
one or two, When the territory Of Kanzas
was organized, Gov. Reeder, a friend ofthe
President, a good modern Democrat, and
a believerin the Squatter Sovereignty hum
bug, was appointed Governor Of that terri.
tory. He ordered the election Of a Telrito-
rial legislature. He invited, the sqaatler
sopersigns to come up to the polls and vote
for men to make laws for them. They did
come up to the polls; but an armed mob,
from bordering State came also; and this
mob drove the squaiter sovereigns from the
polls by force Of arms, took possession
themselves. and elected legislature COM
posed OF men who did not even profess to
reside in the territory. and because this
Governor refused to submit TO the acts 81
this lawless mob in all things, he was re-
moved, and q man appointed who would dc
their bidding. TWAS known to the Presi'
dent all this time, that this mob was organ
ICED for the purpose Of extending slavery
over this territory BY force Of arms, and a
all hazards; and yet the poor, pitiful Presi
dent dares not resist them, but grants al
their requests without delay, and encourages
them in all their aggressions. Bro. Fro
endorses all these things the party in Ohi'
endorses them, and yet he has the impu
dence to tell us ''there is no army in th'
field in Ohio, in favor Of the. extension 0
slavery" We admire noble, frank, man
ly opponent one who openly avows hi
sentiments, and endeavors to "give reasol
for the hope that is in him." even thougl
he may strike us some sturdy blows, we cal
freely forgive Linn; but the Lord deliver u
from acowardly assailant-one who skulk
. and lodges, and twists and turns, endeav
oring to avoid the true issues. But perhap
we are too severe. Perhaps, after all, Bro
Firor does not really know in what an un
enviable position he is placed by his con
nection with the Administration party. Or
perhaps, he only intended to play a littl
before he began the fight. We shall see.

The Discussion.

81, The Discussion.
We regret that our limits forbid the pub.
licaticn of, our neighbor's argument in full.
We shall endeavor to give the substance
He says that we asked him to affirm what he
ispleased to call ''this silly, nonssasicol, rain
ehimsrieal platform, . and also that we wish
to denyit. We did just no such thing, nor
can our language be tortured into any such
meaning. He then fayors us with some
nonsensical twaddle aboutmonopolies. bank
ing institutions, federal tariff, internal i'm
provements. and all that sort Of stuff, which
have about IS much to do with the question
under discussion, as has the editors sore
toe. We are perfectly willing to discuss any
or all Of these questions at a proper time;
but we insist on first disposing Of the ques.
ton now before us:
Shall SLAVERY [negro slavery] be extended
orer our national territoriess
Our neiehbor says we have no negro sla-
very In Ohio. Granted. But be goes far
ther and infers from this fact that we have
nothing to do with the question. He for
gets that he is also citizen of the United
States--that Slavery does exist in the Uni;
eed States, and that as a good citizen he has
something todo with the question. Sup
pose aforeign foe invades our national ter
!ritory, and the question of expelling this
foe agitates the country. And suppose we
propose to discuss the question with Bro.
Firor. Would he reply by saying: We
have no foreign foe in Ohio; therefore, we
have, nothing to do with the question? Is
this Democracy? Shades of Old Hickory,
defend us! Yet this is precisely the posi-
ton Of Bro. Firor on the Slavery question
A soorss than foreign foe has invaded one Of
the territories of this Union--a territory
larger than thirteen States like Chic, and
capable ofsustaining population ten times
as great as is contained in the whole United
States at the present time. They have bro
ken down the partition walls erected By the
wisdom Of our forefa,hers, and actually ta-
ken possession of this territory, once conse-
Grated to freedom. We now propose to dis
cuss the question of resisting and expelling
them, and Bro. Firor says: We have no
business to meddle with the question.
"There is neither Slavery, nor defenders
Of Slavery in Ohio" says Bro. Firor.
Thanks to Thomas Jefferson, George Wash
ington, Benjamin Franklin, and a host Of
other revolutionary patriots and statesmen,
thereis no slavery in Ohio. The ordinance
Of 1887, re-enacted during the Administra-
tion,of Mr.. Jefferson, and, in spirit, incor.
porated into our State Consultation, has
thus far preserved us from the withering
curse Of Slavery, But Of the other propo-
sitiop --that:thefe are no defenders of sla-
very in Ohio, we are not so certain. Nay.
tits not even clear to our mind that Bro. Fl.
ror himselfis not one of these very defen-
ders Of slavery. 1--WE tell you cOolly," says
our neighbor, ''that there Is no army ia the
field, in Ohio, In favor Of the extension Of
slavery" Let us see about that! We
think it will require no great amount Of re-
search to show there is an army, Ia very
small one, however) in Ohio. in favor OF
