The Administrations.
The main and forcible argument used by
the accompanies, or rather the Southern
democrats, is that it is necessary to settle
the question by admitting Kansas as u State
under the constitution as presented, or it
will bring about dissolution Of the Union.
Such has been the seare-crow used by the
ultra Southern men for many years. First
1t was the tariff when old Hickory threaten
ed to hang them the next was the Texas
question, and then the admission of Califor-
MIA. This bugbear has always been held as
a threat to the North, and too often intimi-
dated them. But why should the South as.
sumo to herself any superiority over the
North Have they more talent, more euer-
gy, more claims on the county for services in
the revolution, or more patriotism displayed

reason of his own comes to the conclusion
that pure Democracy is dangerous in the
hands of the people, that is, "the people are
not capable of self government" The pnre
Southern statesman is a diiFsi ent being al

institution under which he has been brought
up, yet he takes high and patriotic grounds,
and will compromise under principles bene-

for dis union, but rather to strengthen the
bonds that cement US together. The doc
