as 4 State, to frame their own laws,
with Or without slavery, IS to them
seemed meet. (See 1st sec. above,) lnI
other words hefncorpo the clause
from the Compromise Of l85O-put
there and sanctioned BY AZ. Clay.
This Bill did not repeal the Mis-
souri, Compromise line, but left It
where the Compromise measures Of
1850 left 1t.
The Wing prrty IN Congress from
the South charged the Democratic
party with avoiding the issue, IS to
whether the Nebraska bill repealed
the Missouri Compromise Or not, the
Democrats Of the Senate replied that
In their construction Of the Compro-
mise measures Of 1850, they in them
selves repealed the Missouri restric-
ton. But the Wings insisted that it
should not be left to construction.
and to test the honesty Of the Demo.
cractic party and the Democratic
Senators who supported the bill. Mr..
Dickson, q Wing Senator from Ken
lucky, introduced the above amend
ment, (see sec. IA. Some Of the
partisan presses charged it upon the
Wing party of the South, that they,
through Mr.. Dickson's amendment,
Es'were seeking to elnbarrass the DEM
ocratic party and destroy its ascen-
dency at the North for electioneering
purposes in the Presidential election
for the present year. These facts
are familiar to every one who remem-
bers the history Of the times. The
Wing party Of the South, through
Mr.. Dickson and other Wing Soma
tors, repealed the charge, saying that
when Southern rights and Southern
honor were at stake, they knew no
Democracy and no Whiggery. These
patriotic and great sentiments were
fully responded to BY the democratic
Senators, and the bill was referred
back to the Committee, the amend
ment of Mr.. Dickson incorporated
into it, and thus it became the
law. This is the unvarnished1truth.
Oh, shame to the old line Wing
Convention, that has proved SO treach-
erous to the Wings of 1854, and
would barter away Southern honor
for the mere and meagre chance of
(making the man who dencunces the
Kansas Act President Willard Fill
more. 49,
Let honest men say whether OF not
the >Old-Line Whig gonyention has
sought to profit BY thetreason Be q ae
leaders Of the Know-Nothing party;
who, we submit under.another name,
are seeking to profit by the Kansas Act
and the more securely To effect so base
a design, ''are seeking to embar-
rass the Democratic party and destroy
it's ascendency at the North, for elec-
tioneering purposes, in the presf
Dental election, for the present term.
Can it be that the honest, the proud
and lofty sons the South can support
such treachery and sanction such a
fraud! We will see. If they do, 1t.
will be because they have not looked
Unto the matter with as calm investi-
CATION as its Importance demands.
