against " any sectional party" North or South.
He tells us that his object is to destroy" these
sectional parties. Such being his purpose, how
is he most likely, as sensible man, to begin the
work? Undoubtedly he win begin it by an ahso-
lutte abandonment Of the ruffian Kansas policy Of
poor Pierce, and in the substitution Of the policy
of the constitution and the organic Territorial
law. In this way he viii demolish that 1isorga-
nizipg pro-slavery sectional party of the South,
the object OF which is TO widen the existing
breach upon slavery between the two sections
into dissolution of the Unien, and the establish
ment Of a vast Southern confederacy "upon mi
litary principles - and at the same time he will
take the main plank OF the Northern anti-slavery
agitation from under their feet in this recurrence
to the simple policy Of law and ORDER in Kan
sas. We feel entirely assured that it will only
require an honest administration of the organic
law of Kansas 10 secure her admission into the
Union free State The law OF races, the Laws
of climate, products and emigration, are all
against the establishment of slavery there under
firm and impartial enforcement Of "squatters'
rights as laid down in the KansasNcbraska
bill. At this day We have no doubt that at least
fourfths of the bona fde settlers Of Kansas are
free State men; nor are they all from the North
ern States. We see, too, that poor Pierce is be-
ginning to repent or reient; and that with the
suspension Of the terrors Of ruifian sovereignty,
Northern settlers are rapidly increasing in the
Territory, and establishing themselves in it under
the full conviction that its destiny is that o.
free State.
Let Mr.. Buchanan, then, only restore and al
here faithfully to the constitution and the Kan
sas organic law. aud he will set out on the right
road TO put down these sectional parties on sia-
very. The South win lose Kansas; but the con-
servatiye Southern masses will override the fire
eaters iu loyal acquiescence to the test of th"ir
own choosing. The Northern ant-slavery agita-
tors on the other hand, will be relieved Of their
present stock-in- trade of sectional excitement
and the republican party, organized against the
forcibe extension Of slavery into Kansas, will ne
cessarily fall to pieces And such, we believe
viii be the policy of Mr.. Buchanan policy Of
strict adhesion TO the Kansas organic. law and
the constitution as the true conservative policy
not only for Kansas but for all the Territories Of
the United States, leaving the balance, for or
against slavery, to be determined by the laws of
latitude, climate proaucts, emigration and the |
superior adaptation Of tree white LABOR or black !
