serts in an editorial, that it is no test of De- n
mocraoy-that it is no test of National De- r.
mocracy, for aman to be an emancipationist; "
that it is the doctrine that any man in the
State may be an emancipationst and yet W
National Democrat. can't misundersta L
this doctrine, ,and after this fghtof eight years
the National Democracy has gained the as r
tendency in this State, and, humble as l e
am, as l have contributed my mite toward
that result, if they are going to take the
ground now, that it is cardinal principle l
in the National Democracy of Missouri to
favor emancipation Of slavery in the State
Of Missouri, want 10 understand it now,
when we are about TO establish an organ at
the seat Of government, TO advocate the prin-
ciples of that party.
Mr.. ZEIoLER, (interrupting). Will the
gentleman allow me to ask him few ques-
tions.
Mr.. DARNEs. Certainly.
Mr.. ZrroLER. would ask the gentle
man who of all the presidential candidates,
was ever his greatest favorite since he be-
: came voter.
Mr.. DARNEs. General Jackson, SIR
(Applause).
Mr.. ZEIeLER. would ask whether Mr..
Clay was not at one time great favorite Of
the gentleman from Scott.
MIR. DARNEs. Yes sir.
Mr.. ZEIGLEN. understood that the gen
teman was slavery propagandist.
Mr.. DARNEs. l am sir.
: Mr.. ZEIcLEn, Was Mr.. Clay slavery
propagandist, or Was he in favor of emanc-
> patton? .-.... -.r.s..
g g Mr.. DARNEs. will answer the gentle
man from Ste. Genevieve Mr.. Zegler. y
g understand that Mr.. Clay, at one time,
q was in favor of the gradual emancipation of
, slavery in the State of Kentucky; that Mr..
= Clay conceived it to be 10 the advantage Of
u y the people of Kentucky, that slavery should
- at some future day, be gradually emancipa-
10 ted, so as not to injure any person who, al
10 that time, or at any future time, should be
:, STAKEHOLDER. understand that Mr.. Clay's
- doctrine was the doctrine Of comfy, provid
- ing for the negro as we'll as not to iniure tht
~ owner. hold this to be a very diiferen
IL state of affairs; consider this to be new
:" party organization, entirely different from
AS the emancipation of the time Of Mr.. Clay
:, recollect, sir, two years ago, at that tim
" that the people of Virginia, the people o
Maryland, and those in Delaware, were al
'N more or less in favor of the gradual eman
u cipation of slavery. Times have altered
'.' It's different now. do not wish, sir, TO b
VIZ considered fastidious in this matter, but
'c. will read from the Leader of Saturday las
- it says: f.s .a. eFr
=. "The passage on which the charge {
he Freesoilism is brought against Mr. Palm,
: as follows: ..s..a a..- ....aI.
y est is well known here that am in ia
~ vor of the gradual abolition of slavery
90, this State, combined with the removal of tn
-, negroes without our border, and that / al
ready to make sacrifice for the same.
!, \ But this is our own business, and other State
shall not interfere in it, no more than W
act have ever interfered in the legislation or at
in ministration of New York.
ION "Now, il this is all Mr.. Palm is charge,
t a BILE with, it is certainly absurd TO impute
ion him either Freesoilism, or any other heres.
asst We decidedly differ from Mr.. Palm in ii
hat sentiment or opinion above quoted. but il
in point on which difference of opinion
vas allowablsin the Democratic party"
the The point wish to reach is this: it
he allowable for the man not only to be an I
\ of mancipationists but to advocate their. doc
ex- trine. Again says the Leader:
| "Have we not always maintained that Il
ere Democratic party is not a rro-slavery pa
Ma TYP" a
un- If so, l have not been aware Of it; / haV
md understood it TO be pro-slavery party, at
The on that principle few days ago, vote
De- for the Hon. James S. Green, and our e,
MS, cellent Governor Polk for the United Stat

for The Leader says, further, "Have we n
md always maintained that the Democratic par
wn, is not pro-slavery party-that it is neith
mi for slavery nor Sgainst it but just for ettiI
it nlone?" -sr -.,-.....-,
is What kind Of a party is it? Isit a mu
party9 IT'S neither Tor slavery nor again
sir, slavery. Is the gentleman, whom we pr
has pose to elect here as State Printer, in III
iion kind Of a ipredieiment, that is neither {
lse, slavery nor against slaveryp' And if
y e should happen to be an emancipotionist, is
Mr. allowable in him TO advocate that doctri
