the cause OF their favorite in the anti-slaver,
sections: Of the Union, We publish the following
extract from speech delivered BY Mr.. w S
Groesbeek, a leading Buchanan man of Ohio
and 9 delegate to the Cincinnati democratic ma
tional convention. The Cincinnati Enquirer Il
| Buchanan journal, edited by Judge Walker
lale Of tbe >. Q. Delta published the entir'
speech On tie 4th July, but is it too long TO
our columns. The extract below is sufficien
to demonstrate the abolitionism of the speaker
and no one at the south can honestly doub
but thai he is thoroughly conversant with the
principles advocated By bis chief. He said:
"Gentleman, we al desire treeacm in Kansas
land no one doubts that 1t will come into The
Union as free State, whether the election falls
Ito Buct lanan or Fremont. Undoubtedly there
have been ogtrages committed there, and that
by MlsSourials as well as BY emigrant aid So
cetes 5rom New England. Probably the lat
ter haze beer most at fault: but we should not
be led dR' by the cry of homicide from the true
principles at stake. We 90 for free principles
and for Tansss;; but we rest our cause upon
Il
haad the principles ( hare adgocoted, and With
ttem re s4ruive,; and aoithom them ace perishf'
The spcaker informed his hearers that 'Mr.
! Buchanan holds in his hands the principles, y
the most1ultraffreesoil principles. that he. Mr..
Groesback adv COATES, and that the Buchananites
| in Ohiof tall dssire freedom in Kansas" all
go for free principles and for Kansas and
| rest thei.. cause upon their faith in Buchanan
But thi4 efforts of the Buchananite orator to
crowd tito black republicans off their platform,
is nothing new. Merely reassertion Of tenets
always h%ld and acted upon by the democracy
Of Ohio. The democratic convention, held in
that State, on the 9th of January, passed the
following resolution:
Resolved, Chat the people Of Ohio, now,
as they have always done, look upon slavery as
an evil aid unfayorable TO the development of
the spirit and practical benefits of free institu
lions; AND that, entertaining these sentiments,
they will 1T all times feel it to be their duty to
use all power clearly given BY the terms of the
national compact, 10 preventls increase, to nit
igate, andfnally to eradicate tie eva,'
Let Us 20 little further north, and We find
that democratic convention held at Syracuse, |
New York. promulgated the following resolu-
ton:
RESOLVED. That. while the democracy of
this State will faithfully adhere to all the COM
promises OF the constitution and maintain all the
reserved rights Of the States, they deem this an
appropriate occasion to declare their fred hos
hly TO Tie trtenSion Of slavery into free terrific
ry.'
Take a look at New Hampshire, president
Pierce's own State We find, on the evidence
of the Concord Patriot, democratic senatorial
district contention unanimously adopting the
following resolutions, reported by H. D. Pierce:
'Resolyei, That we are opposed 10 tie 3D.
mission Of aay neso States into the American
Union with the provision that slavery shall be
tolerated.
"ResoIveI, That it is the duty OF the mem
bers of our State legislature, whenever the sub
iect of slavery shall be brought before them TO
give their influence in favor OF freedom.
Resolved, That those democrats whose
opinions do not accord with the sentiments OF
the preceding resolutions are unworthy our sup
port.
Resolved, That we hope the time is not far
distant when threats OF southern members of our
nationaF legislature may be put to the test in
relation to a dissolution Of the Union,'
How do southerners ike the foregoing spec-
men Of northern democracy? Are those who
propagate the doctrines advocated by Mr.. Groes-
peck at Cincinnati, ior by the Ohio convention
u by Mr.. Pierce, in New Hampshire, likely to
)rove friends of the south?
