GAINESVILLE, Dec. lS;h.'5
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is said by many Of the
so-called Democracy, that the Republican
party was formed to meet the extension Of
Slavery, therefore can not survive Il e ter
imitation Of The attempt at its extension in
Kansas. II this be true then the Democratic
party loses the basis upon which it rests;
he extension of Slavery. The Democratic
arty is i combination Of pol ~iticianS Of all
the Did parties, 10 overthrow the Missouri
Compromise, and 10 govern the country on
a Southern basis, and uphold End extend the
interests or the Shareholders, aud a terri
torial expansion of their peculiar system.
Ii such expansion is no longer possible
then the party formed to favor it, no less
than the party formed to oppose it, loses the
basis on which il rested. Bat this question
is fur from being settled. The Missouri.
Com promise was repealed 10 extend slavery,
the South was backed by the Democratic
Federal government, Federal bGyonets, Fed
| erai meney, official tools, II ssauri invasions,
Palmetto reg menls, q host of warriors, Gen.
| ALchiscn, Col. Titus, Gen. Reed, Msior
Buford, and other Br;gand leaders, but the
energies of ell could nor make Kansas Il
slave State; therefore, the convention de-
signed TO Force a Pro-slavery constitution
upon the PEG Die; being exactly in character
and keeping with every Prec, ding step o.
the Democrac y in the Trrritory, in the
South, and at Washington, in reference q
the policy OF the parry. I'VE will subdu,

Why sir, the New York Day Boo, a well
known leading Northern Democratic paper
saws. NEGRO subordination, or s~o-cal!eC
slavery, is the basis, the foundation, the
corner stone of our Republican ediioe, ana
the time has come when this must be open,
ly avowed and boldly pro:lAimed-as the dis
~tinctive badge of Democracv.' This is
Progressive Democracy. Mr.. james Mali
sen, one OF the Fathers and Founders Of the
Republic, land he is claimed To have been !
good Demo rat,) speaking Of the Constilu-
ton of tie United States, said. ave in:enc
the Constitution to b. tie great Charter o.

never STE that such an Institution as Slav-
cry was ever known in our midst" Here
see the cohtras'. james Buchanan the Head
of the Democratic party, says: "Slauery
pOto erisfS in Kansas under the Constitution .
THIS confirms the words OF the Da, BOot,
that Slavery is the basis and the corner
stone of the party. The last place, the Con-
stilutiunal Convention, to frame Il Constiiu-
ton for the people of Kansas, the delegates
elected by IL small minority, protected from
the people by United States bayoneis while
in session, then lodge in the Constitution
let tie vote be as il may, all the ''3lltk
laws" are kept in force, aud Slavery as much
an existing institution as in Missouri. The
Democracy know this aud approve it too,
aud they are very jealous in the usurpation
in Kansas. when their proceedings are
without Il parallel or a precedent. The Con-
s|tituiion OF the United States, all popular
rights, territorial forms and usages, are set
at defiance, by the Slave Democracy tor the
extension OF their beloved system The
next step will be to extend slavery by the
purchase of Cuba, or the piracy OF Walker
to restore and keep up the balance OF poWci
for the South, but we hope the scale ii
which her weight is placed, will trip the
, beam to the end of time.
Yours, truly. U. WILSON.
