Jeftr,on sanctioned BY Washington, Of both The
| last Continental and the first Federal Congress, OF
nearly oil the eminent founders Of this Republic, OF
hew-Ycrk and the entire North in the Missouri
struggle, and Of large majority Of the People OF
the Free States in still later collisions. We en-
deavored TO bring TIL, AdGs to scrutiny of our
poat!oDs thus pTopounded, Offering TO proceed
thence 10 more direct discussion of The Atias's
statement as to "what Mr.. Bdehsnan's election
has settled"
bu. The Alas refuses 10 follow us, IN an article
hat We copy entire, asking assaant 10 copy our
reply but not expecting bin to do 50. Here il his
new article:
The NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE is ut at all pleased
with article under the caption, What Mr.. b l.

been greatly surprised il it had been Having con-
Quoted the whole campaign on fase pretense-, being

posture il will coubtess be the last 70 be satisfied Nth
any fair staten of the real issues Of the contest
Of the questions which have been actually decided By

1T would have been more manly fpr The TRIBUNE,
II had chosen TO reply article ~ have met L

out WHEREIN our error consisted. But skuiks the
point and dOdges the seue which article presented,

that We prefer discuss live ssucs and eavethe

election. The RepUblCsn parry had not the courage

creed.
The piih ard poilt of our article which has iodnced

TRIuSE, was simply the follosiog which We repeat
for the benefit Of that print and win view Of giving

p-oIriety of tie Tepeal of the Missouri CsDprOme.
Dos THR TRIBrxE deny that our statement OF whist
Mr.. Buchsnan's election has settled /, correct
LIT us have plain answer-no lodging. The game
Of false ssuts is played out
Reply by The Tribune.
TIL. Atlas when complaining OF misstalemen,s
On our part, should have avoided that Of charging
us with seeking "a discussion Of the propriety OF
"the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise" We
have made no such issue We seek not a revival
Of the Missouri Compromise but return to the
policy iDaugurated BY Jefferson Of shutting Siarery
out Of all tic Federal TrTtory by posre prohibition.
Had there never been a Missouri Compromise, our
position and demand would have been jus. what
| they now are. We propose no compromise, adSc-
cate none, seek none. Ii ia very possible that ii
We were offered half way measure, shutting SaS
cry peremptoIDy out Of half the Federal Territories,
and silently eavDg the other half as at present, we
should not feel 81 Liberty to reject il. But there i.
70 such proposition now before the country; and
Ube Compromise being no mOre) we insist on the
exclusion Of Human Slavery by act of Congress
from all the Federal Territories, present and proc
Pectve.
Now as to The Ailas's sta ement of ''wha. Mr..
'Buchapsn's election has settled
We believe it radically false; and here are part
OF the documents:
The KaDsas-Nebraska act is the basis OF Mr..
Buchanan's position. This act repeals 10 terms the
preee1istng Missouri Restriction whereby Slavery
wss excluded from all L. s. territory north and
west Of Missouri ard declares that i. is
"The true intent and meaning Of this &c. not 20
oeslaie Slavery Into any state Territory, nor to ex
cude theTefrom but 10 leave the people thereof per-
iecty free TO form and regulate their domestic nseta
tons in their way subec only to the Constitution
Of the Ubi.td Staes.
Adopted: yeas, 80; nays, TO- Whereupon, Mr..
Chise of Ohio, moved to add as follows:
Under ehiek tAe people If tie Terr'iocy, through
her appropriate rePresentdtirs', may, hey Sc ri,
PROHIBIT TIE TxIsTEscg OF SLAVERY THEREis" -
which was rejected by the following ycre

Here every Nebraska Senator voted that the pep
pie of Kansas and Nebraska should not, while every
nt;-Nebra.ka Senator voted that they should, have
power to prohibit Slavery in said Territories. OH
eIs MAY be able to reconcile this majority vote with
the assumption Of The Alias: We cannot.
Again: Last Summer July ~ when the Toombs
bill for pacifying Kansas was before the Senate,
Mr.. Trumbun of III. moved to ameni i! by adding
| as follows:
"And be it IurtAeT enacted, Tia. the prov sion 10
the act 10 orgsLze the Territories OF Nebraska and
Kansas which declares il 10 be the true nen, aud
meaning Of said act rot to legisate Slavery into any
Territory or State, TO exclude K thererom, but ID

PEOPLE Of the Territory Of Kansas full power, at any
