Mr., douglas and the wilmot Proviso.


Mr.. Douglas is now regarded by the Democ-
racy as the peculiar champion of Southern rights
and interests. In their estimation, the mantle OF
Mr.. Calhoun has fallen on his shoulders. we
perceive that he is special favsrite OF the DEM
ocrats of Augusta, and has been invited here TO
speak at July Court. If he should come 1t
would afford him good opportunity to explain
why he voted for the Wilmot Proviso, in 1850,
and why he failed to vote for the fugitive
slave law.
The journal of the Senate discloses the fol-
lowing facts
Mr. Seward of New York proposed the fol-
lowing amendment to the bill establishing the
Territories of New Mexico and Utah:
''Neither slavery nor involuntary seryitude,
otherwise than BY conviction for crime shall be al
lowed in either of said Territories of Utah and
New Mexico"

A Clincher.

The Richmond Wing of Saturday has an able
reply to q recent article of the Enquirer, which
forces the latter paper into a corner. The En-
Guirer of the 9Th inst contained bill of indict-
ment against Mr.. Fillmore, one of the prominent
counts of which averred that he ''voted in favor
of petitions asking that slavery be abolished in
the District of Columbia and the Territories, and
that no new Territory, tolerating slavery, be
admitted into the Union" To this charge the
Wing replies that Mr.. Fillmore voted IN .taeor
of no such petition, and challenges the Enquirer
to the proof ut is true" says the Wing, shat
Mr.. Fillmore may have voted to receice such
petition; but that is very different matter from
voting IN taror of the petition" In other words,
Mr.. Fillmore and many Southern members OF
Congress were opposed to the famous 21st Rule,
which in their opinion infringed upon the right
of petition, and indirectly contributed to keep
alive the Abolition excitement.
But the Wing shows that Mr.. Buchanan did
the same thing long before Mr.. Fillmore was in
Congressman that Mr.. Fillmore was only follow
ing Mr. Buchanan's example!
NAY more" says the Wing, "did they [edi-
tors of Enquirer not know that Mr.. Buchanan
was himself the man who offered the petition to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,
which led to all the excitement in the Senate
that Mr. Buchanan was the champion of the petit
TONERS on the question of receptionn several Ella
horate speeches. in the Senate, in opposition to
Mr. Calhoun that Mr.. Buchanan, in company
with the late Vice President King, Silas Wright,
Felix Grundy, and many other Democratic
Senators, voted for its reception, and that when
the proposition was carried, by vote of SO to
10, he made jublent speech over his victory!''
These facts are substantiated by reference to
the Register of Debates. vol. -, part |. p, 200
Having thus placed the facts as derived from the
authentic archises of the country before the
public, the Wing asks the Enquirer, whether as
fair men, they are not bound either to abandon
Mr.. Buchanan, or to admit that these counts Of
their Indictment contain no sufficient ground OF
objection to Mr.. Fillmore.

Mr., buchanan in ls4s.

We alluded last week to Mr.. Yancey's adj
dress in 1S4S, in which he charged that Mr..
Buchanan held the doctrine of Squatter Sover-
eighty. Since then we have seen a letter adj
dressed by Mr.. Buchanan to I. Sandtord, Esq,
under date of August 81 1S49, in reference to
the matter. After stating that Mr.. Yancey put
wrong construction upon his language, and
in his opinion the people ola Territory could
neither interdict nor establish slavery, except
when assembled in Convention to form a State
constitution, he says:
"Any other construction of the letter would
render it essentially inconsistent with ITSELF
Having urged the adoption of the Missouri
Compromise, the inference is irresistible that
Congress, in my opinion, possesses the power to
legislate upon the subject of slavery in the Ter
ritories. What an absurdity would it then be,
if, whilst asserting this Sovereign Poacer an
Congress echich p0rer from its nature mast
be eeclusire, | should in the very same breath
also claim this identical power for the pop
ulation of Territory in an unorganized capaci-
tyr"
This is pretty much "jumping out the frying
pan into the fire :" to escape Scylla Mr.. Bucha-
nan has run against Charybdis; for the South
generally, and the Democrats especially, repudi-
ate the doctrine that Congress can exclude
slavery from the Territories, as much as they do
Squatter Sovereignty itself. 1t is nothing more
than the doctrine of Wilmot Proviso, which is
now so stanchly asserted by the Republi-
cans If however, Congress possess this "sover-
eign power" may they not delegate it and
may they not have done so, in the case of Kan
sas comforting the power upon the Territorial
Legislature? This must be Mr.. Buchanan's
view of the case, as in 1s4S he held that the
power of Congress was sovereign and ''exclu-
sive," and now, in 1856, he says that, by virtue
of the Nebraska-Kansas act sthe people of q
Territory, like those of State, shall decide for
themselves whether slavery shall or shall not
exist within their limits"

The wings of Albemarle.

The Wings of Albemarle held meeting on
the 9TH inst to take into consideration the state
of the country and appoint delegates to the Rich
mond Convention V. W. Southal, Esq., presi-
ded, and the Hon. ". c. Rves, being called up,
on, delivered an address. Alexander Rives, Esq,
chairman of committee appointed for the pnr-
pose, reported long and able preamble and Sc
ries of resolutions. We regret that we cannot
publish the report in full. The following is an
extract;
"When they 1.-THE meetingl turn to the Wanted
guarantees offered by the Democratic party re-
Gently assembled in Convention at Cincinnati,
they are compelled to say that the remedy they
profess to have discovered for the practical
maintenance of the equal rights of all the States
in the common Territories of the Union, is but
mockery. Theif grand specific is to leave to
the few inhabitants of each Territory, in its
crude probationary state, Gncluding unnatural
lied foreigners equally with native citizens, and
thus fatally increasing the chances of decision
adverse to the South, by inviting into the cru
SAGE against slavery, fanatics from foreign lands
as we'll as at home.) to decide whether domestic
servitude shall be permitted or not within its
limits, and by necessary consequence, whether
the people of the Southern States shall be al
lowed equally to participate in the advantages of
the public domain. Whatever doubt may have
existed as to this dogma, while overlaid with
the redundant verbiage of the Convention, is
now dispelled by the deliberate ard well consid-
cred Interpretation OF the distinguished nominee
Of the Convention, who, in his letter of accep-
lance, unequivocally announces its meaning to
be that the people of a Territory, like those eta
State, shall decide for themselves, whether
slavery shall shall not exist within its limits ;
and this, as is abundantly shown by the context.
while they remain in their inchoate Territorial
condition"
The fifth resolution takes strong ground a.
gainst the Introduction OF foreign influence into
the administration of our national affairs, the re-
Taxation of the naturalization laws, and the bid
ding of rival parties for the foreign vote at Pres
idential elections.

..F,rinciples and Practice. >,

We publish in another column an article from
the Baltimore American, headed Democratic
Vagaries of Principles and Practice" The facts
commented upon are striking and interesting,
and the article is worthy of perusal.
The recent Convention of the American party,
held in this place, expressed objections to the
Nebraska bill on account of its alledged recog
milton of SQuatter Sovereignty. and the right it
extends to unnaturalized foreigners to vote
These objections have now been admitted by
the United States Senate, largely Democratic as
it is, and both matters corrected, far as that
body can do it. 1t will be recollected that the
New Mexico and Utah Territorial bills expressly
reserve to Congress the right to supervise the
laws passed BY the Territorial Legislatures; but
this provision is omitted in the Nebraska-Kan-
sas bill. and, taken in connexon with the langu-
age Of the act, seemed to justify Gen. Cass in
claiming the passage of the bill as triumph of
Squatter Sovereignty. notwithstanding the
right of supervision has been generally regarded
as abjured the Senate has proceeded to exercise
it in summary manner.
practice" is still more marked in regard to the
internal improvement bills passed over the
Presidents veto. President Pierce undoubtedly
acted consistently in vetoing the bills--certain-
ly in accordance with Democratic faith as ex-
pounded in Virginia. but we find cardinal
doctrine in the creed denied by the great leaders
Of the party. and the constitutional power of the
Government to construct works of internal inn
provement broadly asserted. Upon this impor-
tant question Cass and Douglas stand arrayed
against Mason and Hunter, yet all are orthodox
members of the only true political church! In
some quarters, however, we observe signs of
alarm. One of the party organs at Washington
is evidently displeased by the action of the SEN
ate. The Star says it is high time the States
rights-men and strict constructionists should
duly appreciate the strides that atitudlnarianism
is taken in the name of Democracy" Things
have come to q pretty pass when the course of
Cass, Douglas, and other shining lights of the
party calls for such reproof and warning.
But the facts Of the case show that Demo-
crazy in Virginia is a very different thing from
Democracy in Illinois and Michigan. Hence
according to the paper just quoted, the Demo-
Gratis in Washington, from each of the States
have formed separate Clubs for the dissemina
ton of documents, the reason being, that the
Pennsyyanians know best ''what is required
for their cause in their own State, the New
Workers in theirs, the Indianians in theirs, &C.,
&c' And yet, strange to say, the whole party
stands united upon the Cincinnati Platforml

The Wings of Maryland.

The Wing State Convention Of Maryland met
in Baltimore on Thursday last, large majority
of the counties of the State being represented.
A series of resolutions, reported by committee,
were adopted unanimously and enthusiastically.
The resolutions declare that both the principles
and candidate of the Republican party are I'M
worthy the support of the National Wings of
Maryland; "that the platform OF the Democratic
party, of which James Buchanan has declared
himself the embodiment, proclaims doctrines
and purposes with regard to our foreign policy
calculated to tarnish the national character"
&C.; that as one of the participators in the Os-
tend Conference, Mr.. Buchanan is an unsafe
man to be entrusted with the Executive power
of the country and that in the present position
of the Democratic party and its candidates there
is nothing that promises termination OF Sec
tional agitation, We give the following resolu-
tons entire:
7. That as Wings who delighted to honor
Henry Clay whilst living, and revere his me-
mory as one of the great good men of the nation
knowing him to have been honest, pure, pat
riotic, and devoted to the glory Of our common
country-we regard James Buchanan as the
man who, above all Others, knew the utter fall
sity of the calumnious charge of ''bargain and
corruption" and who, through partisan animos-
ity, not only withheld his testimony but indirect
" countenanced and promulgated the charge.
g. That we recognise Willard Fillmore as one
from whose antecedents the country can expect,
in full security, a truly national Administration
firm, moderate, and tranquil--an Administra-
ton equal and impartial to the North and the
South, regardless of all sectional issues-faithful
to the Constitution and the laws-a National
man with national principes-whose conserve
tive character and views are calculated to allay
the sectional strife that now threatens the sta
bility of the Union, by compromise, concession,
and purpose single to the welfare,the harmony
and the prosperity of the whole country
TO- That in the Hon: Willard Fillmore we re-
cognize consistent and conservative Statesman,
in whose whole political career and history
there is nothing to fear from excessive partizan-
ship, national mischief making, or selfaggrandize-
ment,-but everything to expect that will tend
to the national tranquility, and the honor and
glory of our common country,-and in the
language of Henry Clay we commend his claims
for election on the ground shat he las admin
istered the ErecutiUe Government @ith signal
success and a6ility-he has been tried and fond
true, faithful, honest and conscientious"

Election of President by the House.

As it is possible-but not probable-that the
election of President OF the United States will
have to be decided by the House of Representa-
tives, the mode of proceeding and the chances
Of Fremont, particularly, become matters of gen
eral interest. Many persons presume that be-
cause the Black Republicans were able to elect
Banks Speaker of the House, they could also e.
lect the President by the same vote. The cases,
however, are entirely different.
The constitution provides that if no candidate
Cor the Presidency receive q majority of the
whole electoral vote, the House shall choose a
President by ballot from the three persons hay
ing the highest number. But the vote is to be
taken by States, the Representatives from each
State having but one vote, and Rhode Island,
therefore, counting as much as New York. IT
the House shall not choose q President before
the fourth of March, the Vice President, elected
by the Senate in the event of no election by the
people, shall be President for the full term.
The party divisions of the present House Of
Representatives, upon which the election would
devolve, is as follows: The Republicans control
the Delegations from Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connee-
ticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin-thir-
teen States. The Democrats are represented by
majorites in Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia. Hi
nois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and California
eleven States The American party numbers a
majority in Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, and Deaware-fiye States. Iowa pre-
sents tie--one Republican aud one Democrat,
as also does Texas, represented by one Democrat
and one American.
Thus the Republicans have thirteen States,
and the combined opposition sixteen, and the
election of Fremont is therefore impossible
Neither party having o majority, the contest
would doubtless be excited and protracted.-
Should it be maintained until the fourth OF
March, the Senate will elect Vice President,
who will act as President; and the Democratic
party being in the ascendency in that body, Mr..
Breckenridge would, of course, be chosen. So
much as mere matter of curiosity-the proba-
bity is that the people will elect the President.

The Virginia .sRepublicans.''

J.C. Underwood, of Fauquier, who was a
conspicuous member of the Black Republican
Convention which nominated Fremont, has been
compelled by the people of that county to leave
the State. He has published letter in which
he denies having undertaken to represent any
body but himself in the Convention.
A public meeting was held in Shenandoah on
the 7th to consider the course of Mr.. George
RYE. citizen of that county, and on associate OF
Underwood in the Philadelphia Convention
Resolutions wero adopted eondemning Rye's con-
duct, declaring that he attended the Convention
of his own accord without having been delega-
ted, and announcing to linn the determination OF
the meeting to take steps to protect the commu-
nifty if he persists in agitating the subject OF
slavery. 1t seems that Rye is an ayowed and
active anti-savery man. John j. Allen, Esq.

TIE Wines AND Mr.. FrLLMoRE.-The New
York Herald, which has heretofore affected to
believe that Mr.. Fillmore would not carry sin
gle State in the Union, now says:
''Of late, however, resurrection of the sold
line Whigso of Maryland, in formal State Con-
vention, have declared him their cold line" con-
didate upon the good ideas of the old wing par
ty. This proceeding in Maryland has been
heartily seconded by the"Old line Wings of Vir-
Virginia, and will doubtless be followed up sim
liar movements throughout the Southern States ;
and this restoration Of Mr. Fillmore to the res
pectable position of the "Old line Wing" candi-
date will be very apt to give him tour or five, if
not full half dozen of the Southern States
This consummation will carry the election
into Congress, should Fremont fail of an
election by the people by his vote in the
Northern States. In this resurrection and
reaction of the"Old line Wings" therefore, Mr..
Fillmore ceases to be an Insignificant figure in
the perspective, and becomes prominent OBJ
ject in the foreground Of the picture. The stiff
ness is taken out of his joints by the Old Wing
liniment, and he began to jog along on the South
side of the course at q fair and promising pace
and in a free perspration."
1t will thus be seen that Fillmore is becoming
a formidable antagonist Of Fremont, and the
question will soon be narrowed dow to these
two candidates.

Martin Van Buren's endorsement of James
Buchanan as good enough" free-soil factionist
for him, is causing quite stir among the South
ern Democracy. The very name of Van Buren,
is offensive to Southern Democracy, and his ad-
herence to Buchanan will greatly increase the
strength of Mr. Fillmore everywhere South of
Mason and Dixons Line.
