the Disunion humbug:
"Ths people of Louisiana are not to Dc
dragooned into the support Of Buchanan oy
threats of breaking up the COnfederaey'
On the contary, the masses, whether hiss'
Americans, or Democrats, arc firmly attach
cd to the Union, and are numerous enough
to overwhelm the feeble but noisy crew tha'
send forth the traitorous cry Of 'disunion. !.
Once let the citizens Of Louisiana fully un
derstand that the Buchanan leaders are IN
earnest when they talk dissolution oil the
Union Us the inevitable consequence oil the
defeat of the Democratic nominee, and an
nounce that it ought to be dissolved, ana
we shall behold such stampede from the
ranks Of the Disunion Democracy as has not
had its parallel since lsiO."

Tue RIGnrs OF SLAVERY. Southern dem
ocnts now contend, and their dough-faced
allies at the North assent, that Shareholder
have right to to carry Slavery anywhere
within the jurisdiction of the United States,
But these claims are at utter variance with
the decisions Of all our judges and eminent
jurists, who have ever declared that Slavery
can only eIis. where protected by local law.
In letter dated July 2sth, lS4S, Judge
Mclean says -
Resting upon the principles of the Con-
stitution. as they have been judicially set
tied, tho Free States, by moderation, vigi-
lance and fairness, may prevent the extern
sion of Slavery to free Territory lately an
ne1ed. Without the sanction Of law Slavery
can no more exist in Territory than can a
man breathe without air. Slaves are not
property where they are not made 50 by
municipal laws. The Legislature of a Ter
ritOry can exercise no power which is moi
conferred on it by an act Of Congress"
