but the proper spirit. Some are dissatisfied
because Douglas was not nominal ed--some
plume them elves too much on the nOmina-
ton of Mr. Buchanan-nOne defend General
Pierce aud his administration Is they should
be defended-some say the platform goes too
far-others that it is not up TO the mark-in
short there is a spirit here, among our leaders,
that the Democratic masses should rise up and
condemn.
The city of New Orleans is, we suspect,
type of the whole country The thar

their leaders full of bleeding wounds in
flicted by brothers hands and were it not
for the potent power of the spoils, they
would be scattered like chaff before the

Preparing for "A bargain with the BIack
Republicans.

Democratic leaders in Tennessee
art attempting to create the Impression
that the American party, by running Mr..
Fillmore, will probably throw the election
of President into the House of Represen-
tatives. They are also boldly charging
that Mr. Fillmore is a worse abolitionist
than Mr.. Fremont What does this
mean? Is it not a crafty policy adopted
with a view to familarize the Democratic
masses, and Others who may believe the
charge, with the idea that Mr.. Fillmore's
election would he a greater evil than Mr..
Fremont'S and thus pave the way for a
ready acquiescence in the election of Mr.
Buchanan by bargain with the friends of
Fremont, should the people fail to make q
choice, and the election devolve upon the
House Of Representatives. If they can
make the people believe that Fillmore is
more dangerous to the South than Ere
mont, would not their party excuse them
for coalescing with Fremont's friends to
defeat Fillmore People of Tennessee,
keep your eyes on the Democratic leaders.
Men who have the hardihood to call Mr..
Fillmore an abolitionist are prepared for
any thing to elect their candidate for the
Presidency. We shall not be surprised if,
as Mr. Buchanan's chances continue to
wane, his party bent all their efforts to the
single point of carrying the election to the
House, to give them all the advantages Of
bargain, intrigue, and corruption"

A Question for the Union and Ameri-

We direct the attention of the editors of
the Union and american to the following
passage in Mr.. Buchanan'S letter of &C
ceptance, and desire to know whether they
consider it as embodying the famous doc
trine Of Squatter Sovereignty ? This leg
islatiOn is founded upon principles as an
cient as free government itself, and in &C
cordaDce with them has simply declared
that the people Of a tsrritOry, LIKE THOSE OF
A STATE, shall decide for themselves achether
slarery shall or shall not erist 1cithim their
limits"
We desire an explicit and categorical
answer, and in view of the valiant oppoSi-
ton to this most insidious and dangerous
doctrine which has characterized the course
Of that journal we think we have a right to
demand it. 1t has spoken of it, as of all
doctrines the "moSt unjust and odious,"
aud as unconstitutional" and during the
tendency of the Kansas bill before Con-
greSS in the spring Of 1854, it burdened its
columns with long articles to prove that
that Legislation" contained no such princi-
pies. Mr. Buchanan says that the Kansas
Legislation" does contain the principle,
and gives the principle in a few brief and
expressive words. We wish to know what

they can support him, after having denoun-

Ohio, we learn from the Cincinnati En-

Buchanan. He says he went against the
Democracy in the last two Presidential
elections on account of the slavery ques
ton. We suppose Mr. Buchanan's anti
slavery extension autecedents. and his pre-
sent views in favor Of squatter sovereignty
are quite as acceptable TO Mr.. Heiner as
were Mr.. Van Buren's freesoil notions ia

another Leaf from the Record

The record of the Democratic candidate
on the question of freesoil and opposition
to slavery extension is complete and un-
assailable. With it he could go before the
most ultra Northern constituency, and
challenge their SURFACES. he has also de-
nounced slavery as moral and political
evil" and "a curse" and we now have him
upholding by his course in the Senate the
insane rawlings of abolition preachers. Be-
hold the proof again In the winter of
1887, Mr.. Calhoun submitted q series of
resolutions relative to the anti-slavery
movement at the North, which we're at that
time in their incipiency. Among them was
the following
ResOlUed, That in dele eating a portion of their
power TO be exercised by the Federal Governm ent
the Stairs retained seVeray the exclusive and sole
right over their Own domestic institutions and DO
lice, and are alone Responsible ( them; aid that
. any intermeddling Of any one or more States or
combination of their citizens with the domestic in.
situations and police of the Others on any groun,
or under ally preteIt whatever political moral or
religious, with a view to their alteration or subver-
sion, is assumption of superiority not warranted
by the Constitution, insulting the States inter-
tered with, tending TO endsnger their domestic
peace and tranquility, subvrrsive to the objects
for which the Constitution formed and, by un
necessary consequence, tending to weaken and de-
stroy the Union.
An abolition Senator from OHIO, Mr.
Morris, moved to strike out the words
moral or religious" which motion was ne
gatiVed by the decisive vote of Yeas IA,
Nays 81. The negative vote consists en-
tirely of Southern Senators, and all the
Northern conservative Senator's but JAMES
BUCHANAN, OF Pennsylvania, votes AYE with
the abolitionists. Thus we see his anti
slavery sentiments are of a darker hue than
those who merely call themselves freesoil-
ers. He, on this occasion, arrayed him.
self against moderate Northern men, and
lent his influence to rank abolitioniSm in its
most OdiouS and pernicious shape.
