Perhaps the Democrat is better posted
in reference to the position Of the Presi.

that they do differ, 10 the least, We have

from "a careful perusai Of the Uo4s...
ton" 1t would be sad affair II the
President should not ''agreer perfectly
with U.s." Bat let US sec how they do
agree. Above, We have the opinion oil
the Democrat, Las. winter the Presi-
den, sent the Lccomptou Constitution to
Congress, with q special message. In
that message we find the following: rs
at has been soIemnly adjudged, by the
highest Judicial tribunal known to our
laws, that slavery exists in Kansas by
virtue of the Constitution Of the United
States. Kansas is, therefore, at this mo-
mcnt, as much sieve State as Georgia or
South Carolina. Without this the equal
ity of the several States composing the
Union would be violated, and the use and
| enjoyment Of Territory acquired by the
| common treasure Of all the States would
be closed agains, the people and property
of nearly half the members OF the Con.
federacy. Slavery can, therefore, nerer
be prohibited in Kansds, excepting BY
means Of a constitutional precision, and
in no other manner can this be obtained
so promptly, il majority Of tho people
desire it, as by admitting it into the Tn
ion under the present Constitution. :"
| Note the Differetc &c: the Democru
says ia local lar" will prohibit it. Th'
President says, "Slsery can, therefore
ncrer be prohibited IN Kansas except b,
means of Constitutional pror,sion, y 4
vast difference exists in their positions.
and yet they are all Democrats. TIL
President occupies the democratic ground
The Democrat, is still harring on tn
long since exploded humbug Of Squatte
Sovereignty. There are many Democrat
in this town, who openly repudiate tn
doctrine of tie Democrat They ar
honest enough to declare the true positio
of their party. The Democrat wei! know
. that its party holds that slavery eannc
be prohibited in Territory. In til
words of the President, "Slavery ca
therefore nercr be prohibited in Kansas
(or any other Territory Excepting b
means of constitutional precision"
Where's squatter Sovereignty!
