while Wiimot, Seward and Greedy are con.
vulsing the ccunuy with their lamentations
ior the Missouri Compromise the people will
remember that in 1920 every vote agains,
mat Ccmprom,se ia the U. S. Senate was
from Norh Of Mason & Dixon's line. The
nrsl atlemptto disturb the principle of that
compromise was in is46 by the Wlmo, pro.
yiso, which proposed 10 prohibit slavery in
all the territory to be acquired from Mexico,
while in the Missoati Compromise it might
be tolerated by the people south of So 3O'.
This attempt TO disturb the old settlement Of
the troublesome slavery question was tioubly
mischievous IN beias nfTarad 20 an ameu,-
ment TO an appropriation bill designed 10 se-
cure treaty Of peace, and before we had yet
obtained one foot of territory 10 which il could
apply.
The Democratic party through Polk, Doug.
las and Buchanan proposed 10 settle the sla-
very question on one side of the Rocky
Mountains as il had been settled on the other
10 extend The Missouri Compromise line
10 the Pacific. To this the leaders oil the
present Republican party would not assent,
and they renewed the agitation. In 1S4s Mr.
Polk in his last message 10 Congress urged
that territorial governments be established
in Utah and New Mexico, and that The Mis-
souri, Compromise lint be extended 10 the
Pacific. The Democrats tried TO do this and
the Aboli,ionisIs and Wings prevented it,
When the ore effort TO extend that line, and
The other 10 prohibit slavery had failed on.
ly two things remained 10 be proposed.
The one was 10 establish or legaize slavery,
and this was not attempted by any parry. Tie
other was what MIR. Clay from the Commit.
lee of Thirteen in 1850 proposed IN the U. S.
Sena!e--to leave this subject TO the people OF
The several territories. The Kansas Nebraska
bill of 1854 only reiterated The principles of
The Declaration of independence OF i776 for
the right OF sell government by the people.
Municipal Legislation for the territories by
Congress would be just like the Legislation of
The British Parliament in l776 for the Amer
ican colonies, and the principle of self.goy-
eminent is the very basis of our repu Sican
institutions.

the Legislature of Indiana by one vote.
The Best Man.-There are hundreds of
thousands of people who profess 10 poll their
votes always for "lhe best man." Can any
one doubt that Buchanan is a thousand times
better man than Fremont, so far as regards
qualification and ability? The truth is. Blu.
chanan possesses every desirable requisite
for the office--honesty, capacity, and expe
rience-while Fremont has no presidential
qualifications whatever.

II new qualification for the Presiden.
cy has been discovered in Col. Fremont, Of
more SD bslanial merit, We think, than the
fac, of his having parlaken of roast dog and
mule pie. II has been ascer,ained that he
is in possession of certain housewifeish ac-
complishmerIs which would be of eminent
service in keeping The White House in tidy
condition. This interesting discovery was
made by one Of the Massachusetts delega-
lion, which lately made visit 10 the Colonel.
The "Boston Journal" Fremont paper, thus
describes il:
''In the course Of the interview, Mrs Ere.
mont happening 10 be sitting on the sofa in
the parlor, and the delegates having had an
introduction 10 her, the question was put, in
course Of conversation, by one of them, iI
casual manner, rs il true, Mrs Fremont,
thai while in California you refused 10 en-
ploy slave labor, prefening 10 perform your
own domestic labor? 'Oh, yss,' replied
Mrs. F., 'bul my husband ought 10 have part
of The credit, fol he assisted in sweeping the
rooms" At -'t
Glorious Colonel, you ought to be Presi-
dent! Trne, you know no more about the
affairs OF Stale than green gosling, but then
you would be so handy about the White
House. AS an exemplifcaton of the re-
publican principles of oui Government, what
could be more gratifying to Americans visit
ing the National Mansion than to see their
President sweeping room, or changing a
diaper? ayhf a-..a - s3l tia l2@s .
