And since Mr.. Stuart has returned
again into the full faith and confidence
of the administration, we propose to
give a few points in the creed which
he endorses, and of the platform upon
which he must now stand. He said
that next to the God he worshipped
he esteemed the principles of the
Democratic party The following are
a few oft hem. We extract from Presi-
dent Buchanan's letter to Professor
Silliman, August 18th, 1851 srewlr
s. l"rSLAVERY existed at that period
(IS54) and still ecists IN KANSAS
sW UNDER THE CONSTITU-
TION OF THE UNITED STATES.
This point has at last been Ia FL
NALLY DECIDED By the highes,
tribunal Judge Taney) kmown to our
fdacs. How 1T COULD EVER HAVE BEEN
DOUBTED I,SA MYSTERY 'm vss
| The following'is from his Message:
cit has been solemnly adjusted by
| the highest Judicial Tribunal, tina,
"a SLAVERY EXISTS IN KAN
SAS by VIRTUE OF THE CON
STITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES. ~ Kansas is therefore
as much A SLAVE STATE as GEOR
GIA or SOUTH CAROLINA" =
From the bred Scott decision
@ The African race was so far infe
rior that they had no rights aokich tht
schite man acas bound to respect; and
that the negro might justly and laac-
fully be reduced to Slavery for his

Such are the doctrines to which Mr.
Stuart announces himself as being SC
strongly attached. Such are the .prin-
ciples of the Democracy. 49,
The National Democratic press in
the State are jubilant over Mr.. Stuart's
return to the policy of the administra-
ton, and his friends are sorely disap-
pointed. We apprehend that many OF
them cannot endorse such dnplicity-
such two-faced conduct such dis
honesty. To the former friends of Mr..
Stuart, those who respected him for his
former opposition to the administration.
we would ask to read the following from
the Detroit Herald, an organ in the
full confidence of the administration,
and which speaks by authority, which
will show plainly how he now stands
with the administration:
Mr.. Stuart, one of the most active
and determined opponents of the Pre-
sident in the Senate, has not only s,sr-
rendered has opposition, bit has also
gicen his aaweserced adhesion to the
41dministration and supports ALL
Of ats policy. With this movement OF
Mr.. Stuart, Amti-Lecon,ptonisna has
ceased to ecist among Democrats in
Michigan, and the whole party now
stands undivided upon national
grounds.
Mr.. Stuart supports ALL the acts OF
| the administration Voters of Michi.
gan, can you support man for the
governorship of your State that sane
tons the enormous expenditures of the
present Democratic National Admins
tration? Can you vote to elevate a
man to the Chair of Governor of your
State that endorses the infamous Kan
sas policy? Can you support man
who because he cannot secure his cleo
ton to the United States Senate by
opposition to the administrator, turns
around and avoacs himself IN .favor OF
1t for the purpose Of securing ats sup
port to elect him Governor We ask
you to consider well the past and pre-
sent positions and professions of Chas.
E. Stuart, and see if you consider him
an honest man, and one whom you
would desire to Nave take charge of the
affairs of your State. You know well
the policy and platform of the Admin
istration, and upon them stands Mr..
Stuart and asks for your suffrages.
Ponder well over the consequences be-
fore casting a vote IN his favor.
