Last week we published the fact that the Lou
isana territory was purchased by Thos Jeffer-
son and that the two territorial acts signed by
that great Statesman left the people of that ter
ritory free to regulate their own domestic con-
Germs in their own way. On the outside Of to-
days paper will be found two letters of Mr.. JEFF
ferson relative to the Missouri Compromise, the
repeal of which our opponents declare was such
gross out rage. We commend them to the
attention of black republicans who announce
their Intention to ''bring back the government
to the principles of Jefferson"
We wish to notice at present the terms upon
which Louisiana was purchased At the time
of the treaty, and in fact since its first settle
nient, Louisiana had been a slaye territory, and
France in ccedihg it to the U. S.proyided for pro-
lection ofthe inhabitants in all their rights
privileges and immunities, Il was not the in
tention Of either party to rob the people of rights
which they had enjoyed while subjects o
the King gof France, ard to make this plain and
unmistakable, the following article was incor
porated in the treaty between the two govern
ments: ,,u,.
|. CART. 3, The inhabitants Of. the coded Ter.
litory shall be Incorporated in the Union of thu
:, United States and admitted as soon as possible
according to the privileges of tie Federal Con
stitution to the enjoyment of all the rights
privileges and immunities Of citizens of the Uni
4 ted States, and in the meantime they shall b.
maintained and protected in the free enioymen
oftheir liberty, property and the religion the,
profess" ~" u
Mr. Yaple, in his speech before the Fremon
club in this place, claimed that according to thi
article, negroes as we'll as white people were en-
titled to citizenship, and that Mr., Badger ofth
United States Senate, entertaining this opinion
had endeavored to have an act passed giving tn
treaty different construction.
1t is very probable that Mr.. Yaplo did gres
injustice to the intelligence Of Senator Badger
for the above quoted article expressly guaranty
to the inhabitants Of the ceded territory the
property. Now ifslaves were not property, ur
der the laws Of France governing Louisian,
then we confess the treaty did not mean to rt
4 cognize slavery. a2 'ai e @
The anti slavery sentiments of j. q, Adam
are well known. He was among the first agita
tors ofthe subject in this country, but we az

eyP,mge d.is article from her constitution She
is entitled to admission as a slave State, as Lou
isiana, and Mississippi, and Alabama, and Mis-
souri, have been admitted, by virtue of that arti-
Gle in the treaty for the acquisition of Louisiana
which secures to the inhabitants of the ceded
Territories all the rights, privileges and immu-
mites of the original citizens of the United
States, and stipulates for their admission, con-
formally to that principle into the Union. Lou
isiana was purchased as a country acRerein stor-
cry aoas tie established lae0 Of the land. As Con,
grcss has not power in time ofpeacc to abolish
slavery in the original States of the Union they
are equally destitute of tie power in those parts
the territory ceded by France to the United
States by the name of Louisiana where slavery
existed at the time Of the acquisiHoi. ....
Slavery is III this Union the subject of inter
nal legislation in the States, and in peace is
cognizable by Congress only as it is tacitly tol
Grated and protected where it exists by the Con,
sttution of the United States and as it minges
III thcir intercourse f3itli other nations. .Arkan.
sas, therefore, comes, and has The right to conc
into the Union with her slaves and her slave
laws. 1t is written in the bond, and, however
Imay lament that it was ever so written, mus
faithfully perform its obligations. ...
Mr.. Adams position is q true one. In all the
territory west of the Mississippi including th'
present States Of Louidiana, Arkansas, Misscu
ii and Iowa, and the territories of Kansas, Ne
braska and Minnesota, extending from the Gul
! of Mexico to the British possessicrs and from
the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains
Mr.. Adams says, slace,y ,cas The established la
Of the bnd! He further says that slavery is th
subject of internal legislation in the States ant
S .cognizable by Congress only as it is tacitly
tolerated where it exists by the Constitution
and as it mingles in our intercourse with othe
nations. All treaties made by the United State
the Constitution provides, shall be the su
pcerc law Of the land" Let old Wings retlec
upon the remarks of Mr. Adams and then de
eide whether The Democratic party is correct o
not in leaving the people of Kansas and Nebras
j1s to settle the question Of slavery for them
selves. ,sA~ -7~s

its constitutional powers, to provide for the
same.
Is. That emigrants and exiles from the old
world should find cordial welcome to the
homes of comfort and fields of enterprise in the
new; and every attempt to abridge their priv
illege of becoming citizens and owners of the
soil among US, ought to be resisted with infex-
ible determination.
16. That every nation has clear right to al
ter or change its own government, and to ad-
minister its own concerns in such manner as
may best secure the rights and promote the hap,
Piness of the people; and foreign interlerences
with that right is dangerous violation of the
law of nations. against which all independent
governments should protest, and endeavor by all
proper means to prevent; and especially is it
the dutyAof the Aricrican government repre-
senting the chief Republic of the world to pro-
test against and by all proper means to prevent
the Intervention of kings and emgerors against
nations seeking to establish for themselves re.
publican or constitutional governments
II. That the independence of Haiti ought to
be recognized by our government and our COM
mercial relations with, it placed on the footing
of the most favored nations.
18. That as by the constitution "the citizens
of each state shall be entitled to all the privil-
leses and immunities of citizens in the several
states" the practice of imprisoning the colorcd
seamen of other states, while the vessels tc
which they belong lie in port, and refusing tC
exercising the right to bring such cases before
the supreme court of the United States to test
the legality of such proceedings, is fragrant Vi.
olation of the constitution and an invasion O.
the rights of other states-utterly inconsistent
with the professions made by the Shareholders
that they wish the provisions of the constitu.
ton faithfully observed by every Statc in the
| Union.
49, That we recommend the introduction in
to all treaties hereafter to be negotiated between
the United States and foreign nations, of somt
Fprovison for the amicable settlement of Difficult
ties by resort to decisive arbitration.
20 That the Free Democratic party is no
organized to aid either the whig or democratic
wing OF the great slave compromise party o
the nation but to defeat them both; and tina
repudiatlng and rcnouncing both as hoselessl,
corrupt and utterly unworthy of confidence
the purpose of the Free Democracy is to TAX
possession of the federal government and ad
minister it fer the protection of the rights ant
interests Of the whole people. ...
