FROM WASHINGTON.
THE NEW DEMOCRATIC CREED.

WASHINGTON, May a, 1856
II has become the leading article of the Demo
cratic creed that Slavery shall be sustained ana
protected by the Federal power everywhere, Oh
every acre of the Territory Of the United STATES
where it shall be carried, which is not now en-
braced within the limits Of the Free States. by
The Missouri Compromise it was agreed that
portion Of our unoccupied domain should be pre-
served to the Free States. 1t was the smaller
portion, to be sure, that was thus preserved, and
the arrangement was not satisfactory to the North,
because the rights Of Freedom were thereby
abridged but still, as it left portion Of our
Territory out Of which to make Free States, the
North acquiesced in it. This bargain, solemnly
made, was treacherously repudiated in the repeal
of that compromise, and the demand has since
been put forth that Slavery shall be excluded from
no part of the territores-that it shall hence
forth have all, and Freedom not an inch. This
position the Democratic party has been
forced into, and holds to-day as the fundamental
artic!e of its faith. Observe that the Free States
OCCUPY a certain portion, and much the smaller
portion, Of the national territory. The Slave
States occupy certain portion, and much the
larger portion, of the territory. The charac-
Ter of these two great divisions is fixed. In one
part the institution of Freedom prevails, and in the
other and larger portion Slavery is permanently es-
fabished. There is, beside the territory thus Oc
cupied, a large domain belonging to the Republic.
The Slave States have long said that in the occu-
patton of this domain they demand an equality with
the Free States. They resisted the application
of the WilmOt Proviso to our acquisitions
from Mexico, which comprises large
part of it, on the ground that if it was
applied they would be excluded therefrom,
and degraded by the exclusion. 1t was to
shis, that Mississippi and Georgia emphatically
declared, by resolution of their Legislatures and by
their Representatives IN Congress in 1850 that they
would not submit Then they declared they would
have equality in the Union, which they defined to
be their share Of the Territories, or they would
withdraw from it. JEFF. Davis in the Senate and
Toombs and Stephens in the House, led of on this
tack, and were very violent and threatening. The
demand then was an extension Of the Missouri
line, and the dividing Of the joint domain, giving
TO the Slave States what was south Of it, aud TO
ffe Free States what was on the north side. No
Southern State demanded OF pretended TO claim
any more. No Southern Legislature and no South
ern Member Of Congress eIacted anything but
what they termed their share of the National terri
tory. They claimed division of 10 much of it as

The Clereland Leader appears to differ with The
TRIBUNE as to the selection Of a candidate for
President; but, instead of letting its readers see
what we said that objects to- it undertakes to set
forth cur ideas In its own words, and does 1t very
erronepusly-as follows:
ain an article in The TRIBUNE Of last Tuesday
morning, we find some extraordinary Presldentla n
specustons The leading ideas in the ohoo are
these First that the Republican parry xSo viii mite
The mojt political elements; secondly, that we shouu
sk no further pledge than that he VIII favor the al
omjp alton of man distinguished for his opposition to
Slavery would insure our defeat. Other propositions
THE TxIBUSE lays down; but these give tone and
completion to all the rest
Whereupon THE TRIBUNE says:
I. II The Leader means by &" the most political
Settlements" the greatest number OF Electoral
Votes, we object only that it has very awkward
and obsure way Of stating plain proposition.
We do hold that the fit and worthy champion Of Free
Kansas who can probably secure the largest Elec-
foral Vote is the very man we would wish to see
nominated. For,
9. We do not think it wise or right to risk de-
feat ON the Kansas question if we can possibly
avoid it. A victory as to Kansas will open the
pay to many others; defeat here will probably
prove the precursor Vi many hioio' Ao' "' 0A
deavor to succeed.
g. We cannot remember ever saying anything
Equivalent to this. We have not assumed to decide
what views q candidate must entertain to render
him most available. Let the Philadelphia Conven-
ton consider that point If ca man distinguished
s.: for his opposition to Slavery is strongest, we
are for that man, and we have no doubt the Con-
yention will be, likewise. Give us an issue on
which the People are heartily and justly with us
and 6t candidate who can be elected-we ask no
