the future and she must have it. There Is
now no excuse-we are in power. Extension
of slavery is the testing crucible. The South
demands an equality in the Federal Senate;
hence the first step is to admit Kansas as
a slave State, an offset to Californis-this
equilibrium never, hereafter, to be disturbed;
for every free State one slave State; the prin-
ciples Of the Nebraska-KaLsas bill so far as
they touch slavery or non slavery never to
be repealed"
There Democrats of the free North-that
is what you were duped into voting for. How
do you ike it? Are you content with your
work, or will you not repudiate the slavery

Before the election the Black Republican
papers were filed with quotations from the
Delta, the Charleston Mercury, and other
"fire eating7 journals Of the South, whose
ultra pro slavery dogmas they attempted to
palm off upon the people of the North as the
Democratic sentiment of the South. A more
shameless and barefaccd imposition was never
practiced. This was done with the view Of
manufacturing abolition votes for Fremont.
They knew that the universal feeling of the
North stood arrayed against the ultra views
and purposes Of these Southern extremists,
on the subject of slavery. They knew also
that the great majority of Southern Democrats
stood with the Northern Democracy on the
.nciples Of the Cincinnati Platform, and
trst common ground was occupied by both
alike.
They had not one set OF doctrines for the
North and another for the South. Under q
state of facts so well known and established
we had reason to expect that with the close
ofthe canvass, these Misrepresentation Of the
true position of the National Democracy
would cease. Butt seems to have been de-
termined otherwise. For some reason o!
other, the wild vsgaries Of the Delta and the
Mercury are still to be kept before the people
of the North as the Democratic plan for the
future" Neither of those journals pretend

z The fanatics OF the South, who wish ;,

against its will, are IS few and as powerles
here as the fanatics st tho North who wish 3,
prohibit it. The Democracy Of the Nortl
have met and conquered the Northern enc

OF the South will meet and conquer thei
Southern enemies. Those presses of the Soutl
who belle the soundness Of the Northern
Democracy are treated here with as mucl
contempt as those Of the North who shriel
for Kansas. The great Democracy Nortl
and South say, with one voice, Z" we hav,
agreed that every new State shall regulate it
own institutions without the intervention O
Congress" Our glorious party in Pennsylva
