the Democratic party, who are alone re-
sponsible. (Cheers.) Well, now, how
are they going to disturb slavery as it
exists in the States? Are they going to
send an army down here to do so! /
don't understand by what process they
mean to do it.
will tell you where the danger is.
In your runaway slaves-an evil which
has been greatly aggravated by the adj
ditional facilities of travel afforded by the
railroads, and the greater intelligence
which the slaves acquire by increased IN
tercourse through the same medium.
Your remedy is, to prevent as best you
can, and punish an abducter wherever
YOU find him. There is another danger
and that is, by keeping the Democratic
party in power. (Cheers.) =
Why do you want eighteen, nineteen
or twenty slave States, instead of fifteen?
Why; is 1t not because you have not got
land enough to occupy all the slave labor
at your command. 1t is not that. 1t is
not because your limits are ciscumscrib-
ed; it is because you want to increase
the political power of the South, to give
her additional power in the Senate of the
United States. For the same reason
that you want it, the North do not want
you to extend it. 1t does not increase
the number of slaves, but increase the po-
litical power, and for that reason the
North is opposed to it.
Well, now, if you erpect, on the other
hand, that Fremont, the Black Republican
candidate. as going to disturb the institu-
ton Of slarery, yOa are mistaken. That
either he or his party will do so, very
much doubt. Do not mistake this for an
abolition sentiment mean to say, that
power being the object of the party, ]
doubt very much if they would not be-
have themselves in power better thar
out of it"
Mr.. Bolts draws faithful picture Of
Mr. Buchanan, concluding as follows:
"Mr. Buchanan bears the character
with all who know him of being this day
which I say in all honesty and SINGER
ity upon my honor and belief q may
do the gentleman an injustice, but I DE-
not mean to do it, I say, he stands will

use the term accomplished in such con
nection-demagogue aE're this day, ee
cept Gen. CaSs. (Cheers.)
Mr.. Bolts then says if there was NJ
other objection to Mr.. Buchanan but tn,
, Ostend principle of " might makes right,
it should be enough to damn him in tn
\ estimation of the country. As for MI
Fillmore, he says:
Having said this much about Buchan
an, Ihave very little to sag about Fill
more. I know it is not necessary
should speak of Fillmore. He has bee
President of the United States, and ha
shown himself what he was. I am YER

not such as l would have approved up t
the time that he succeeded to the Presi
dency after the death of Gen. Taylor;

:. In another part of his speech, NJ,
Bolts again refers to Mr.. Fillmore g
y follows:
1T has been charged upon Mr.. FL
