The Douglass Report Again.


The Douglass Report Again. 20
But Senator Douglass not only makes
war upon the opinions of the trainers of our
Federal Constitution, in regard to the prop
er construction of that instrument, but COM
ing down to more modern date, he hurls
his .anathemas atthat peculiar institution .
the "Mass. Emigrant Aid Society,""
Although it 81 well known fact that this
society obtained its "cSSater" from an ad-
ministration Legislature, and that the plan
was fully completed upon which it vas Or
ganized, without reference to the question
Of slavery, that among its "stock holders
were prominent supporters of the present
administration, that no man is or was exclu-
ded from it on account Of his political opin-
ions; that 1t has been conducted in strict ac-
cordance with the laws Of the States and Of
the U. S,--the N, K. Bill not accepted-yet
notwithstanding oil this, the Senator very
gravely charges the society with attempt.
ing to "aboitionize Kansas" a' .''''
The foundation of this charge is the fact
that the society published pamphlet in
which they stated their belief that ''the ter.
ritory selected as the scene of operations
would be filled with free inhitants." Ant
what good reason is there for mot filing i
with "free inhabitants?"d Is that the clas.
of population that curse a tenitOryOr State
And does the Senator mean to irsinuatt
that sIcvery is better for those territories
than treedomg Such at least is the fair in
ference from his own language, and sucl
we claim are his sentiments until the con
trary is shown. But again he tells us tha
the proceedings Of this society are in "per
version Of the plain provisions Of an act .
Congress" the N. X. Bill. To be sure h,

vetNe think the honorable Senator ought not
to be too severe upon those who adopt it,
as they may be honest men in error--think-
our beloved Washington correct when in
writing to Robert Morris he said: ''I can on
ly say that there is not man living who
wishes more sincerely than I do to see a
plan adopted for the abolition of it, (slayery)
but there is only one proper effectnal mode
in which it can be accomplished, and that is
by legislative authority; and this as far as
my suffrage will go shall never be wanting"
Or perhaps they believe Jefferson when he
says: that slavery is ''the most unremitting
despotisms on one part, and degrading sub
missions on the other!" or Franklin who
says, "that slavery is an atrocious debase-
ment Of human nature" It may be that
some one Of them have read the "Madison
Papers" where James Madisonreports him
self as saying, in the Federal Convention,
that she thought it sOrohtto admit into the
Constitution the idea that there could be
property in man. and from this might have
concluded that il would also be wrong tc
admit the idea in the Territories. 7en. n

National Convention.

BY reference to the telegraphic report of the Re-
publican Convention held at Pittsburgh the 22d
nst., which we publish in another place, it will be
seen that Republican National Convention, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of
President and President, to be held at Philadel
pha on the 9TH of June next. 1t is good place for
such Convention, and the time is not Objectionable
The times and circumstances seems to us favorable
for the triumph of the Republican cause next fali

to elect to the highest Office in their gift, the man

New York.
With such standard bearer we could go into the
canvass with the strongest incentives to sc0T6-area
sonable prospect of success aud the conviction tal
if we succeed we shall have done the greatest posi-
bic good for the country. We believe that Mr.. sew
ard is not only one of the best men we could put IN
nomiuaton, but the strongest man in the Republican
ranks.
There are either distinguished Republicans, but
none more worthy better fitted for the station 1t
is vcrv probable that no would meet with strenuous
otpos;tion from the South, well from the bogus
democracy of the North hut it would be an opposi-
ton that we should glory in-the opposition of Sla-

be allowed to run its free to cast down from
the high places it has - long disgraced. In what
more effectual manner can its demagogufsln be re-
buked then by the election Of such man as Mr.
Seward to the Presidency?
We know not what our brethren of the Republican
press NAV think in this matter, but our views are
here set forth let have expression of the press
and the people, that may compare notes. The
time for the Convention not far distant that we

Republican ORGANIZATION.

We see by our exchanges, that the Republi-
cans throughout the State are awake to the sub
ject of organization. Republican Clubs are be-
ing formed in various Cities and towns. We
see by the last Beloit Journal, that spirited
meeting was held in that place on Monday of
last week, and a Club organized, of which l..
G. Fisher Esq, was elected President. The fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted
Rcsolrcd, That We warn the STAKEHOLDER and
his supple tools at Washington, that though
their rufian hosts may drench the soil of Kan
sas in the blood of its present occupants, their
wrongs will be avenged by an outraged and in
dignant people; and that the banner of freedom
shall yet wave triumphantly, over the graves of
those devoted martyrs to liberty.
ResOLred, That we recommend Mass Meet
ing to be held at Madison, at the earliest prac-
ticable period; that the people may consult to-
gether, and devise suitable means to meet the
exgencies which are pressing upon them.
The time has arrived, when, if we would stay
the tide of inquiry that is flowing over the coun-
try from the institution of Slavery, we must act
act unitcdly and tremendously, and thorough
ly. The friends of freedom at the North must
learn their strength, to man, and when the time
comes to use it, see that it is all brought to
bear. This can only be done through complete
organization. Let us have it.
There is no longer, time to doubt the neces
sty of this, or to indulge in the hope that il may
turn out better than we fear Every gale from
the west, bears OH its wings the tale of outrage
and violence in Kansas, and the cry ofhelp from
the Freedon-loying pioneers, against the slavery
propagating invaders. The Message and Pro-
clamation of President Pierce, shows that the
whole power of the administration and with it
the so-called Democratic Party is to be brought
to bear in favor Of the slavery propagandists
and border rutfains, and against free citizens of
Kansas, Fortunately, a Presidential election is
pending, and though blood may be shed, before
the result of that election can be determined,
yet the final fate of Kansas and other Territories
will not be decided, and that fate will depend
upon the coming presidential canvass. This is
the issue before the American people, and it be-
hooves Republicans to be prepared to meet it.
We hope to see a Republican club organized in
every town in the STATE.
