II is impossible TO deny the general truth OF this.

years ago with consterpa,ion, which caused Their

coes too far in declaring tha: these theories were for
msy recognized by Congress in the repeal OF the NE
sour restriction The fact is notorious that he theory
which was chiefly employed 10 60 away with the hs-
rour Compromise was that of Squatter Sovereignty
and not Mr. Calhoun's theory, that the Constitutes
carries Slavery wherever goes. Mr.. buchanan him
self went before the people acsnddase for the Prs>
dency a. supporter of the former theory and no: Q,
the latter In bis letter accepting the nomination, be
employed this explicit language:

Surely there can be no mistste about the meaning
Of this 1t asserts the right Of the majority Of the
people of Territory to determine for themselves
whether Slavery shall shall rot exist within their I'm
it's. That was Mr.. Buchanans doctrine siteen months
ago. wss that doctrine alone upon which be dared 10
20 before the people lie now says in his letter TO the
Ntw-Haven memoralists:

He absndons the Squatter Sovereignty doctrine, esd
adopts the Calhoun theory without qualihcsaon-
and not only without qusfc stiop, but with ether
an extraordinary forgetfuness, with sesstutih-
cation even mo extraordinary, he declares The; 10
a mystery how IL could have ever been seriously
doubted. Such complete and yet appareatly tn
conscious change Of mind on the pst Of statesman
of Mr.. Buohanan's character and anteceden,s, 10 .
most significant sien Of the times. IL shows the pro-
diRous rapidity with which is drawn or driven 70
the most ultra positon In the direction OF slavery,
when orce he sets loose from the old moornge OF our
fathers And Mr.. Buchsnaus experience in that re-
spect il but an exponent of toe transition his whole
patty is now undergoing. Once adnf, there hss been
no stopping until stranded helplessy high and dry
upon the black adsmant Of the Carolina doctrine.
But the fact that the Democratic party, In s rest
LEES efforts TO proptiste and win the slave power, nss
at last found itself in the hard embrace Of dcgmas
which il once sbrapk from with unaffected horror, BY
no NEAR fixes the fact that these dogmss are hereafter
to rule the country That Ia mater yet 10 be settled
The contest upon it has but jus, begun The earnes
ness with which Daniel Webster and Henry ClAy
combatted these identical theories OF Mr.. Caho1n ~
utterly repuenant 10 the letter and spirit Of the Cor
stitution and as fearfuy dangerous to It's existence
though those great statesmen ase dead yet survives
It strs in the understandings and the hearts OF 90 IN
mense majority of the intelligent freemen Of these
Northern States, and will animate every political osls
that is to be fought this mary yeer The Const'tu-
ton of this free Republic intended TO be
Slavery propagating instrument, and whatever fses-
dent Buchanan and the party his heels may d. 20
make il uch, there Is yet popular power thai VII
resist TO the last any such profaca'ion The slavery.
