John Wentworth, ashrevd politician and gem
herman Of considerable influence, who Is pretty
widely known. s5ss
The proprietor Of this papsr for the last twenty
years has supported the regular nominations Of
she democratic party, and all his sympaihies now
are with the principles Of TINT party, as iHustra
ted BY the administrations Of Jefferson, jackson
and Van Buren,. These principles now, which he
deems primary, seem to hive become secondary
70 the schemes Of aspiring demagogues, who are
continually disturbing our slavery compromises
and endeayoring to profit by the i'll feeling
which they themselves provoke between the
North and the South. 81 y
Il would take the democratic party not fifteen
minutes to settle the whole slavery difficulty and
restore the party to its original harmony. Kan
sas applies for admission, With her Constitution
In accoriaice with the United States Constitu-
ton. She has elected her two Senators and q
Representative who are ready TO take their seats
and to act with the democratic party the mo-
ment they are sworn ia. II but the free State
Senators, alone, would vote for the admission of
Kansas, in fifteen minutes she would be in the
Union and the whole slavery controversy set
tied. But if they should settle the slavery con-
troversy, such agitators as Douglas & Go. would
lose their vocation. II is evident from the refu-
sal to admit Kansas that Douglas and his party
intend to keep slavery agitation alive as an inn
portant element in the coming Presidential cleo
ton.
In view Of this fact we have been looking
| around for gentlemen as deeply imbued with the
principles of democracy as the rankest demo-
crat could wish, and yet gentlemen who are anx-
ious to arrest the agitation of slavery, whom We
could support at the coming election. III ssii FL
Whilst we have not now, nor never had, any
| sympathy with the party with which Willard Fill
! more has always acted, we look upon the plat
| form of the convention which nominated him
as an entire approval of the course Of Douglas
| & Co. in relation to Kansas. We are therefore
1 satisfied that there has got to be new man and
! a third ticket brought into the field, and in or
der to attain success, that ticket must be the en-
bodiment of the principles of the great demo.
cratic party, which accomplished SO much good
under the administrations of Jefferson, Jackson
| and Van Buren,. We must 60 back and take dem.
ocratic hearts wherever they may have been
found for the last ten years, and organize them
into one great, national, democratic party, which
shall respect the rights of the Shareholders, and
1 vet arrest their attempted inroads upon the
/ rights of non-slaveholders in our territories.
We therefore hoist, upon our own individual
responsibility, the following ticket of true ano
decisive, national democrats, who will resist up
I on all occasions the re-opening of our well set
| tied slavery compromises, and who will adorn
| by their talents and integrity, the Offices to
which we hope they may be elected. "a asfe I
