strength that the Nebraska bill doeS not concede TO
the People of the Territories the right to exclude
Slavery therefrom, while sll the AntI-Nebraska
Senators Intellectually voted TO give that sct 8 con-
struction which would scout rhe miserable Impu'
tation of civil superiority in the men OF the
States over the hardy and enterprising men OF
- the Territories"
Now. Sir, we are ready for glance at the vital
clause of your Cincinnati-D emocvatic PLATFORM
that into which Mr.. Buchanan has resolved himself,
and which he told Senator Brown he . stood upon
&" aud indorsed every part OF It, Here is the
" Popular Sovereignty" plank Of it:
Rt.sd That recognize b. right Of ;he people 81 the
Teriio. ncladrI Kansas and NebTa's eating through n
r,dtns aid t- whenever the number Of their Inhabitants
syt it, to tG 3,ta @ le u Ta u pr TS. Of
equs ~ with the other states
Here you see the same miserable imputation'
on 1.-THE hardy and enterprisng men OF the Terri
tories" "Hh,ptt,r The nun'6,r Of their inhabitants
jusiif,s IT," they are conceded the RICH. 'to form
"a Constitution, with or without domestic
Slavery" but until they have such population,
no right at all to prohibit Slavery is allowed them.
Hear this canon of the new Democratic creed ex-
pounded by Mr.. j. CLANCY Jones, the eminent rep
resentatye of Old Berks in Congress, and the
especial friend aud spokesman of Mr. Buchanan:
In Ms opinion ad Mr. Jones in speech in he Hou-e lsst

Here you find the same /" miserable imputa-
ton" that you scout so Justify. The people of
state may abosh Slayery-nobody dcnies h0t-
but the people of Trritory can do nothing in the
premises but pass laws guaranteeing aud securing
10 the stakeholder his human chattels. Ten thous-
and hsrdy and enterprislng men,, inha6ltng
Territory may be utterly hostile to Slavery, aud
only ten Shareholders or doughfaces in all the re-
gi, n; yet these fen according to the Democratic
creed. may compel the ten thousand opass laws
affirming and enforcing their claims to the unpaid
services Of their bOndmen-there is no escape or
alternative Such is Popular Sovereignty in the
Territories as expounded and enforced by theapos
ties of your sect. Now, let US hear Dir. Bu-
chanan himself on this point. | cite from the
letter of his personal and political friend, who
visited and conyersed with him on the 9TH of
August last, and wrote to Thu Huntsville (Nd.)

cause of which you opposed and defeated Gen.
Cass in A.. your master is ridicung it at Wheat

votes You proclaim it 50 miserable lmputstiOn"
on the people of the Territories that they should
not b.. allowed 10 adopt or reject Slavery az they
may see III; but your Platform denies them any
control over the subject while they remain In a Ter
ritoral condition. or until they are in the act of
emerging thence into that OF State. You declare |
il - miserable imputstion' on the People OF the
Territories that they should not enjoy as perfect |
control over the subject of Slavery as is conceded
to the People OF the States; yet your Platform,
