TcsDOnu 10 our dfllclcS culllug upon
him TO define his position. Before
doing so il thus touches up our "Dem.
ocratic" candidate for Governor:
But few days have elapsed since
we took occasion to refer TO the ridi.
culous position Of Henry B. Payne,
tho Buchanan Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio. This ndivid.
ual opposed the Fugitive Slave Law
in the Ohio Legislature, with the vim
of true Abolitionist, and recently,
when he responded TO the Conven
tion which nominated him for tho
post TO which we have alluded, de-
clared himself hostile TO the extension
Of Slavery in Kansas.
The Delta quotes from the Enqui-
rer's defence of Payne, and says;
The argument Of the Enquirer is
easily answered. .Slaceyy Is not Sec
tiondi, but national, II eriSts practi.
cdHy IN Kansas, and theoretically in
Nebraska, Oregon, Minnesota and
New Mexico. No right thinking man
can question this fact. In order to
destroy its national existence in the
Territories, the people thereof in the
settlement of the terms Of their State
Constitutions must exclude it by a
clause introduced for that purpose.
The right, therefore, claimed by the
South exists in its nationality
right which the Northern lreesoil
Democracy at this moment deny and
oppose with all their might
Mr., Payne charges, that II Slavery
is excluded from Kansas, 'it will fur
nish an application OF practical Dem
ocratic doctrine, and the Enquirer
endorses tho sentiment. This is what
we have said all along We have
charged Mr.. Buchanan, GOV. Walker
and tho whole mass of the Northern
Democrats with Freesoilism, and as
being in antagonsm TO the rights OF
the South" And here is an honest
confession Of the justice Of ourcharges
made by regular worshiper Of the
Grand Lama Of the Democratic party
ut the White House.
Our Cincinnati cotcmporary, in the
above extract, admits the equality OF
the South in the Union us a section.
Very good. Now lot us put an inter
rogatory or two TO the Enquirer II
the South asks that new Slave State
should be formed out Of Texas, will
the Northern Democracy assist her in
the accomplishment Of that ond2 Or,
suppose that we should, in considcra-
tion of this sectional equality, insist
upon the acquisition of Cuba or Con-
tral America, or the establishment Of
q State in Southern California, each
recognizing the institution Of slavery.
What thenY Would the Northern
Democrats assent ? IL not, then tho
assertion of tho Enquirer Is the most
unmitigated CANNON.
The North, controlled rs il is by
an unholy disposition to exclude Sla-
very from the Territories, and en-
croach upon Il in the Slave States,
would never consent 10 these propo.
sitions.
Finally, we have 10 sny that so
valuable is Southern slavery in itself,

the magnanimity Of those Northern
