"The Slave DemocracY.'

We invite the attention OF the fusion press,
which charges the Democratic party with
being in favor of>Slavery in Kansas, to the
facts mentioned below. although the
charge is made knowing it to be false, yet
having The documents before US, we will
prove il so:

"A Fact for Reflection.

The Pittsburg Post, remarking upon the
Democratic Territorial policy for Il series Of
years. says: "enough of Territory has been
annexed to make twenty or mora States of
large size, and that, too, without dividing
Texas at all; and dividing that into three
States we have at least twenty three States
out of the Territory acquired, not more
than six of thsm slave States, and the re.
naming seventeen, at least, free Sta es -
Such is the sum ofiDemocraic annexation.
And observe, too, not one. foot of free Terri
tory has been annexed and converted into
slave Territory. Here is a state of facts
that all politicians inclined to run after the
false lights of Greedy. Seward d Co., would
do well 10 keep in view.

on Saturday of electing one, than they had
when they commenced on Monday morning

Short Sessions

high taxes, and all that kind Il talk. The

they would place the power Of the State in
the ha1dS of certain gentlemen who call
themselves Know Nothings, lusiOnisss, Re-
pubicans, &c, that we should have short
session, the money would be taken care of,
the taxes reduced, and everything else that
the most avarcous could desire. The peo.
pie, (through folly have elected and will
soon. place these genry in po~er, and be-
fore they have done so, we hear squam-
i,h squalI going up from all fusonism that
it will be utterly impossible to amend
the tax law, the salaries Of certain State of
icers must be increased; and as for short
session Of the Legislature, they say that
that'is an utter imposSibillty. They have
so much to do that IT cannot be do le.-
They have U. s. Senator to elect and
they have got to legislale for Kansas, Utah,
take some action in regard to The Crimean
war, every member mast make ,two aboli-
tion speeches so as to exclude slavery from

see IT, at they are all fit to be merabers of
Congress, and perchance Presidents of the
U. s. and a host of other such matters as
they say will engage their undivided atten-
ton; and if any one who voted fer them
thinks that they are going 10 have short
session they will be "verv much deceived,
besides being sucked in" We think so
too. Let fusioyism have full swing, and it
will not be long before it breaks its neck.

CINCINNATI, Dot. 90, 1855.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 22d ult. is
just received. AS almost all the events in
respect to which you ask my opinion are
past and recorded facts, my opinion would
now be of no value. cannot doubt, how
ever, that the friends Of Freedom have act
ed wisely.
AS to the application of Kansas for ad
mission as State, am not prepared to sub.
nit an opinion The course TO be pursued
in making or granting such application de
pends very much upon circumstances. In
my judgment the true policy was the origi-
nal policy: to organize Territorial Govern
ment with prohibition Of Slavery, and sew
orally admit State after State of convenient
size until the whole Territory be absorbed.
That sympathize deeply and engrossing.
ly with the Free State men of Kansas, you
will not doubt. Most earnestly do | pray
that as Territory and as State, that
great region, consecrated to Freedom, may
escape the blight Of Slavery. A leading
motive with me in .laboring for the great
victory we have gust achieved in d0hio was
to contribute its moral influence 10 that
proud result. " Very truly
and respectfully yours,
s. P. CHASE.
