Significants

Mr. Cumback, of Indiana, a democratic
free-soier, made a speech in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES on the 18th instant on the
Kansas contested election case. de Is
represented in the " Y. Tribune as declar-
ing that "HE STOOD BY THE OLD DEMOCRATIC
DOCTRINE, AFFIRMING THE RIGHT AND DUTY OF
SLAVERY INHIBITION IN THE TERRITORIES BY
CONGRESS-. THE DOCTRINE PROCLAIMED BY
NORTHERN DEMOCRATS BEFORE THE PASSAGE
OF THE NEBRASKA ACT, WAS, THAT THE ACT
WAS INTENDED NOT ONLY TO MAKE THOSE TER
RIroRrEs FREE, BUT TO ESTABLISH GORDON
OF FREE STATES TO THE PACIFIC" The
country is becoming acquainted with the
real Slavery sentiments of the Northern
Democracy. Evidence is accommodating that
their doctrines and intentions are pract-
cally as effective in making the new Terri
tories free-soil, as the most ardent avOwed
free-soiler could wish. The suggestion Of
Mr.. Buchanan that the new doctrine"
was an eLuCleuI SuDSllluIC lOi Ii'C w i'iO'
proviso is being acted on. The NEW doc
trine" is the squatter sovereignty doctrine.
Mr.. Cumback says that the Northern DEM
ocrats declared it would make Kansas and
Nebraska free and establish a Gordon Of
free States. This Northern Democracy is
now an integral part Of the much boasted
National Democracy, to whose hands
Southern men are exhorted to entrust their
rights. Be it remembered too, that the
squatter sovereignty heresy which atlantis
them, meets with uudisguised sympathy
from distinguished members Of the South
ern Democracy, Howell CoBB of Ga, and
GEORGE w. JONES, of Tenn.

-sIne 18TH Sectnon-NEen. A0bAfcOhters
The 18th section of the American Plat
form censures the Administration for its
course touching the repeal of the Missouri
Restriction, &c The Union and american
comments upon the apparent inconsistency
between this and the section which af-
firms the principle of nonintervention, as
enuncated in the Kansas-NebraSka act;
and amongst other things, says:
"Our Representative, Gen Zrllicoffer, was
one Of the most Jealous and influential of the
supporters of the Kansas Nebra-ka bill. He
now stands by add Sees the Administration de-
nounced for the passage of that bill, by bis
party friends, without remonstrance."
The Union and American is not well
posted in regard to the proceedings of the
National American Council; nor can it be
until it searches for information in other
sources than newspapers opposed to the
American party. Gen. ZoLLcoFFER did
not stand by and see the 18th section adj
opted without remonStrance." When the
platform was before the Council, he made
a speech in which he urged the striking out
Of all the Specifications in the 18th section,
so the section would read
oI3th-OppOstion to the reckless and un-
wise policy of the present Administration in
the general management Of our national at
fairs"
He failed in his object-the specifications
were retained He did his duty, and hav-
ing failed to accomplish his purpose, like
good soldier, did not deem it necessary to
resist the authority which determined upon
adopting policy different from that which
he thought best. The matter is not of
grave Importance, as it does not affect any
practical issue of the day. The Nominal
ing Convention, which followed, expressed
its opinion upon the Missouri Restriction
quite emphaticaIly, when it voted down, by
a vote of l4I yeas to 90 nays, the follow
ing resolution:
"ResoIUed, That the National Council has
no authority TO prescribe platform OF prncl-
pies for this Nominating Convention. and that
we will nominate for President and Vice Pres
ident no man who is not in favor of interdlct-
ing the introduction of slavery into territory
North of sc deg 80 min. by Congressional
action"
With this resolution voted down, and
the 18th section of the platform endorsing
the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska act
to back him, Geu ZoLLICOFFER can well
afford to let the specifications of the 18th
section "slde"-the more readily as Mr.
FILLMORE, the nominee Of the Convention,
in afixing his signature to the New Mexico
ana Utah territorial bills, affirmed his adj
herence to the doctrine Of non-ntervention
originating in them, and copied from them
into the Kansas Nebraska act.
