WHAT THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE TODAY.

the editor Of the New York Herald by the democrats O
Pennsylvania and Indiana the l4th ut Ii has serious
y affected his memory well spoiled his amiablity OF
temper Within less than week past he made elaborate
effort 70 show that Mr. Buchanan elected the result
could be regarded approval by the people OF the
foreign and domestic policy Of President Pierce but that
it would only prove that the cowardy Fr6moners at the
North have been frightened out Of their votes by the scare
cry OF dsunion" Forgetting how vehementy he ar
gued these positions only the other day the Herald Of Satur
day last with leader in which the editor says
that from all the existing aspects and prospects Of this mo-
mentous presidential contest feel free TO say that there
appears be scarcely the sadOU Of chance for any other
result than The election Of James Buchanan and then goes
on add ale WiH be elected he representative Of The poll
cy Of Mr. Pierce al home and abroad This home policy in
wolves the extension of southern slavery into north lat
udes at the point of the bayone and this foreign policy
comprehends the pracal doctrine Of sezng such OF the
territories of weaker neghbors may be desirable
If we have the power"
Here is a distinct and unmisakable admission that we
were right in conroyertng the Herads position and
aintaning that the election of Mr.. Buchanan would be
popular verdict of approval of the policy of President
Pierce But do not make the foregoing quotation 80
much expose the treacherous memory the reckless
Inconsistency of the Herald to expose and denounce
for the thousandth time the two distinct fasehoods
therein repeated for the thousandh time viz fret that
President Pierces "home policy involves the extension
of southern slavery into northern atudes at the point
of the bayone; second that "his foreign policy
prehends the praca doctrine Of seizing such of the
territories of weaker neighbors may be desirable
These two assertions comprise the total of all the
eleetoneerng capital which black republcanism de-
pended during the canvass for obtaining sectional tr
umph. In referring to them at this time cannot be
suspected of any purpose msrepesent the true position
of the democratic party with the view of influencing the
election Our object is disabuse far can the
northern mind impressions made by the
stan repetition of these unfounded Misrepresentation II
has part of the policy of the democratic party
of the present administration extend slavery into north
ern atudes at the point of the bayonet any other
way and Just often any black republican, whether
editor speaker preacher private electioneerer has
asserted just often has he borne false testimony The
democratic party believes that the constitution recognises
and guarantees the perfect equality of the several States
and perfect equality of the citizens of the several States
This equality, in the judgment Of the democratic party,
violated and destroyed by any act Of Congress which
dscrmnates between the rights of the citizens of different
States The sole object of the Kansas law to secure
this fundamental principle of constitutional equality both
as to States and individual citizens and in doing to
enable those who might choose to make their homes in
Kansas, whether they from the North the South
to come the Union State terms Of perfect equal
ity with the other States President Pierce bas claimed
right the bayonet either for the extension
of slavery into Kansas any other northern latitude
exclude it from Kansas any northern latitude but
whenever and wherever he has resored TO the bayone 1t
has been the bona de inhabitants the
barassed enjoyment Of the right either extend exclude
slavery they might choose Whoever attributes him
the democratic party any ether policy msrepresens
both We need scarcely add that the second assertion
the foreign policy of President Pierce is equally false
with that in regard TO his home policy.
We have doubt that hundreds of thousands Of votes
will be given to-day under the deuson that the repeal
the Missouri restriction not only measure OF slavery
extension but that il designed be- and that it
has been the policy of the administration carry slavery
into Kansas and into the northern States by forcbe
We should be surprised the prevalence of such
delusion if we did know the appliances which have
been resored TO- the first place. for producing it. and
then keep it up Ii lamentable fact that the contnu
ance OF the deluson has been effected mainly by the in
huence exered the religious sentiments Of honest minds
the bold and perseyerng misrepresentation Of political
parsons through their elgous papers from their pulpt
and from the stump The votes cast under this deuson
will be given against the policy of the administration
but against imaginary policy hatched in the wicked
brain Of scheming political leaders and nursed by
tho guardian attentions OF misguided pulpit fanatics
The election Of the democratic candidate under such
circumstances would not only give assurance Of the
popular approval Of President Pierce's home policy
but II would authorize to affirm that the vote cast
against Mr. Buchanan was no true indication Of the
strength of the opposition TO that policy When the
citement Of the shall pass away the slow march
Of truth will dspe the delusion which has blinded the
minds Of thousands upon thousands Of honest men Then
there will be day Of retribution for the pupit-pot-
clans who have dsgaced their cangs by lending their
influence to tho base purposes Of demagogues II Is be-
deem Of the utmost importance that the popu
lar mind should be promptly undeceived to the real
character Of the presidential issue and that the reaction
against the false teachers political and religious should
be speedy and overwhelming, that again place on
record even before the result OF the election can be
known, the truth TO the policy of President Pierce
which has been shNpeully misrepesented and ls6ed
With the view, intend to prosecute the subject
after the election.
