That the so called National Democracy
is pro slavery party; that Il is controlled
by the slave-holding oligarchy, who frame
its platforms and shape its policy, and com
pei their Northern allies to 'aequiesce IN
It's DEGREES under pain Of expulsion from
the party. Does any one want evidence
of thisl /. is abundant. We have al
ready published The testimony Of Col. For.
ney that Mr.. Buchanan splemuly pledged
bimself to secure to the people Of Kansas
the right to frame their constitution IN their
own way, yet he too trod in the footsteps

duction of infamous couspirators against
liberty, the Lecompson Constitution

lipfamy, and in bis letter to Prof. Silllman.
