State organization 10 the people of the Ter
ritory, who have the natural and best right
to decide for themselves.
1t appears to me to be perfectly absurd
for us to grumbe abont "squatter sovereign
ty' at the present time, when squatter SOW
ereignty will make free every inch Of ter
ritory now belonging to the United States.
After the acquisition Of California, with the
prospect of the addition Of more Mexican
territory, when Gen. Cass proposed the
doctrine Of non-intervention, it was an i'm
portant question, as it might have led TO the
introduction of so many slave States; bnt
after the South had been completely check
mated by Califcrnia's declaration in favor Of
Freedom, we had no reason TO object TO tho
doctrine fnon.intervention; Of squatter SOW
ereignty.
We have now, besides Kansas and Ne.
braska, New Mexico, Utah, Minnesota, Or
egon, and Washington. Making seven ter
ritories, which will give us sevenfree States.
Some think the fate of Kansas doubtful: but
the invasion Of Missouri rowdies, indepen
dent Of natural causes, will make it free
State. These borderers came over first
to vote for pro-slavery men-the second
time to vote against them in the location Of
the Capitol--and the third time 10 make
buster under Shannon, plunder the people,
and drink whisky. This is the last and dy-
ing struggle of slavery. Under such cir
cumstances cannot conceive what we can
possibly gain by resisting principle which
has hitherto excluded slavery from our ter
riories."
Mr.. C.'s avowed object in writing thus
is to persuade his friends in the North to
stick to the National Democratic party
He reiterates the views of Cass and Rich
ardson and others. Theirs is Abolition
Democracy; the whole Northern Democracy
Is abolition Democracy. Northern Democ.
racy has one tongue, and Southern Democ-
racy another. The Norhen Democracy
boast, that, by the repeal of the Missouri
compromise-they have given the cause ofthe
South death-blow. They boast, as Presi-
dent Pierce did in the presence of Senator
Clemens, that the operation of the principle Of
the Nebraska bill will render it impossible
for slavery ever to extend over another foot
of territory even though we absorb the
i whole of Mexico, The entire Northern De-
e mocracy teach that few sguatter sover.
: eigns, nimble from having no slaves TO lake
- with them, can, under such law as tho
g Kansas law, hurry into territory as soon
: as it is opened FOR settlement, and pitch out
y or shut out the South forever. While the
/ South hold that the squatter sovereigns
e cannot control the matter of slavery till they
J. are numerous enough 10 form q State, the
Northern Democracy insist that any number
i of them, however small, can do it, and that
e no black can be held for single moment
5, as slave in any territory until an express
d law TO authorize it has been made either by
20 The squatter sovereigns or by Congress-
IS The Northern Democracy say to the people
L. of the South, you cannot 60 with your slaves
r to any territory until we who own no slave,
lie first go there and decide for ourselves and
< for you whether slavery shall be tolerated
Of there or not.
We do not misrepresent the Northern
o. Democracy. The sentiments we have lin
ne puted to them are held by the best of them
d. They are held by Pierce, whom the South
he ern Democracy aided in eleGting to the Pres
ri idency. They are held by Cass, whom tn
oy Southern Democracy supported for the Pres
70 idency. They are held by Douglas, WHOM
=, the Southern Democracy are talking of 70
Fa the Presidency. They are held by Richard
&C. son, whom the whole Democracy have bee
in supporting for an Office next in importanc
d. to the Presidency. When The Southern De
t,, mocratic organs ask the South TO trust tn
:! Democracy of the North, the agrarian, radi
cal, iacobinical, subterranean Democracy {
the North, upon the subject slavery, thos
re organs insult the South most atrociously.-
