The weekly American banner. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1855-18??, 1856-05-02

One of the reasons given by some of ne boascs
for leaving the AmGicaa party, is. that the Demo
cratic party North il soondr on the slavery ques-
hon than the American. Those who read Northern
papers, know full we'll the hypocrisy Of this asser-
ton. They know, and those who make that lame
excuse for leaving the Americans aud going over 10
the foreigners know, that there 10 not to-day single
Abolition paper that supports Mr.. F.LLxorx for the
Presidency whereas, the main body of Mr.. Pierces
supporters in New England are Black Republicans.
They know that the supporters Of the Nebraska.
Kansas bill in the North aver it will do away with
slavery extension while in the South it's advocates
support it as pro-slavery measure This is the
Janus-aced Democracy that is to save the country
A short time ago, q New Hampshire paper,
strong Pierce Nebraska Journal in an article of some
power held forth to its readers the advantages of
the Nebraska bill as final settlement of the slavery
question in the Territories. 1t is useless for the Sag
NIGHTS to say that Mr. Pierce, or his party, or his
administration, not responsible for what edi
tor in a New Hampshire village says-whea it was
announced, only four weeks ago, that the editor of
the Coos Democrat died in Boston, on his soay to
Washington City, achere he had been offered an office
by Cen Pierce. This same Coos Democrat editor,
the special friend of Pierce in one of the last edito
rails of his life said:
when the war with Mexico was begun, on ae-
count of unbearable Mexican insults and aggres-
sions, IL was said by the abolition disunionists oil
the North to be God-abhorred war; because, hey
said, its object was to extend slavery.
"Now, what was the result of this 'God-abhorred
wary 1t gave us between fve and six hundred
thousand square miles Of territory, within every d
versity of climate and production with the untoli
and apparently inexhaustible riches Of California
it added than onesixh to all the territory tn
Union possessed at the beginning of the war, anC
over the whole of it spread the benign influence
our government. The institutions of every part o
that vast territory settled and fixed and not
rood of il Is or euer ,ciH be slape territory Now
was not that lying clamor, was it merely sill,
feeling of apprehension that initiated against com
mon senseS At any rate, it was false, and the re
suit has proved it 80"
But, like the old wine at the feast, we have KEEP
the best for the last. Everybody remembers tn
Hon Harry Hubbard, one of the most active sup
porters of the Kansas Nebraska bill. Let US sc
what results he anticipated from this measure 70
r freedom" when he addressed the good people {
Dalton. We quote from the same Democratic al
thority:
"Mr Hubbard discussed the State issues presente
in this campaign with his usual ability; then too
up the slavery question, and discussed it in all il
ever-vurying phases, and in manner which coul
not fail to carry conviction of the sincerity of Ii
t speaker and with array of facts logical arg,
:, mcnts, and sound common sense views, that conl
not fail to convince all far-minded persons presen
all whose minds were capable of receiving and al
precating the truth, showed that the acts of Il
President and the Democratic party were Just, an
that our present position uron the slavery question
the leaving the whole matter with the peoples III
/, deniaby correct the only fair just, fair and prop
mode Of settlement that by that manner of treatiI
y the question: is rendered almost certain that not
: rood of siaoe territory tciH hereafter apply for
mission into the Union.
Do Southern people believe in the honesty of al
:, man, no matter what were his former political pi
:, elections who, in the face of these facts,
the Democratic party is sounder than the America
sounder than Mr.. FILLMORE, who has been tried, al
= found true to the South-to the whole country
