OF the American party and the policy to
the adherence of which Mr. FILLMORE
stands committed, and the loose, imperfect
and slip-shod character of the correspon-
dent provisions of the Cincinnati plat
form, which make general distribu-
ton of the most inestimable prerogative
of freemen; which deal out indiscrimi-
nately, hurry-skurry, helter-skelter, a right
which justly appertains only to the ma
tive-born; and gives, without stopping to
see what will be the result of it's self-in-
terested generosity, into the hands of pau
pers, criminals, aliens, ignoramuses, ad-
venturers, hirelings and traitors, the ob-
sotute and unrestrdined Poaoer and right,
by virtue of the wanton exercise of IRE
sponsi6le Legislative authority, to divest
portion of the citizens of this Republic of
their fee in property. which is recognized
as chattels by the highest courts of judica-
ture known to the land Such is recog-
nized to be, and such is endorsed as, the
result of carrying into effect the princi-
Piles of the Democratic party by Mr.. BU-
CHANAN's letter of acceptance, and by the
letters of the VAN BURENs wherein they
announce their adhesion to the cause of
BUCHANAN. 1t is folly for the opposition
press to attempt to deny this for that this
provision did exist in the Kansas bill,
and by virtue of the endorsement of that
bill by the Cincinnati Convention, in the
Cincinnati Platform, is proven by the fact
that the Senate passed a bill expressly re-
pealing this provision
1.-The provision is repealed, stricken
out ! Why do you taunt us with it ?''
We hear some astute member of the oppo-
sitiOn cry out. We have already, in cur
feeble capacity, awarded all the honor due
the noble men who passed the act repeal
ing this Odious clause; but, as we said last
week, '.the snake is scotch d. not killed. -
Alr. BUCHANAN is ON the record in favor
OF Squatter Sovereignty CAss and DoUG-
LAS, the leaders-the master spirits of
DemJcracy-are on the record against the
repeal OF this odious heresy. And again
we say it is but fair to suppose that they,
having the control of t e public policy,
would bend their giant energies to the
doing away of the recent work of the
Senate. Again, then We ask, where are
the guarantees which justify the South in
the support OF the BUCHANAN party
We ask Southern men again to look at the
nature of this Squatter Sovereignty See
who are its aiders and abettors and theil
eo-adjuto
BUCHANAN and DOUGLAS arcacIes on,Jt
I-CAss and WILLIAM H. SEWARD pa
mobile .jrohum. These men on the record
together against the South! 4 holy alli-
ance, in very truth.
Again VIC ask Southern men-nationsI
men-to look at the solution of the
impending difficulties which is offer
ed, by the endorsement by the ua-
tion, OF the provisions of the seventh
section of the February Platform and the
selection of President who is committed
to the policy therein set forth. Again we
ask them to examine and decide between
a reckless, demagogueical frittering away
of rights and privileges, and the Legitimate
exercise of a strictly constitutional restric
ton The one puts their property and
rights in jeopardy-the other preserves
and defends both Choose ye. for the time
is come.
