Cincinnati Platform denies the right OF Con
gfess to refuse admission to State for such a
cause. The South have gained all that they
asked. They demanded permission to intro
duce Slavery into Kansas and all the Terrific

slavery exists to- day in Kansas, as a conSe-
quence of that permission. Il makes no dif-
ference whether it was Introduced by the
blue Lodges" Of Missouri, or the ''Emigrant
Aid Societies of New England The fact is
the same: .SioUery nolC ex SIS. II could not
hoUe ecisted if the Missouri Compromise had
not been repealed; and the Democratic party,
after thus putting it into the power of bad
men to establish slavery in Kansas. have no

of the Territory come to form a .State CoHSti-
