The Republican defends the vote of Mr.. Bocook
for the admission of Oregon and Minnesota into
the Union as States. on the ground that the
doctrine of the South has uniformly been that
when the people Of territory, possessing sufi
cient population, and acting in obedience to law =.
adopt constitution and apply for admission into
the Union as State, it should be admitted with
or without slavery as determined by the people.
This say is the doctrine of the South and the
doctrine of the Nebraska bill. We go further
and say that this is the true doctrine"
Some time last Fall or Summer leading ar,i-
Gle ia tho Richmond Enquirer opened with tho
following sentence :" We regret to find the doc
tr1e becoming current that territory with the
requisite amount of population, tina; adopts n re-
publican form of government, has right upon
application, TO be admitted into the Union
The Enquirer is understood to be an organ of
Southern (DemocratcI sentiment a supporter of
the Kansas bill. and expounder of the true
(Democratc) doctrine. But here is a papable
collision between that journal aud the Repubi.
Which is right!
The Republican goes further and pronounces
the Enquirer's new position requiring the pari
passu admission of free and slave states as thing
that it is idle to talk of. The Enquirer is for
making this requirement an utimntum, and fight
ing on it, and for it, THE Republican says no it
is idle 10 talk Of it. Yet the Democratic party
is unit aud its dcta the inexorabe aud infali
