c0ifsTta very able argument has reet0tly shown
there S6 much reason to believe 4hey can do sIis
psNpoIten.ent 81 admission viii give them the bene
ft Of ahe decision Of the Supreme Court. They can
carry their slave property into the common territory
and participate fairly in its ultimate organization.
The difference between action which puts Kansas
under bonds to keep quiet for several years, and
policy OF naction which leaves her affairs perpet
uai subject OF agitation and scandal too practical
and pa'pabe in its influence upon the political in
further calculation.
The Black Republicans are frantic to prevent
settlement of the Kansas controversy In sublim.
ity OF their inpudence they appeal to the most
high mnded men Of the South to aid them, because
of the injury which the admission would infct upon
the slave interest!
What is the object of these agitators? Solely to
carry the question Of Kansas INTO the Presidential
canvass OF 1860. II they succeed the divisions Of
the Northern Democracy upon that issue, with the
vItuperaton and SANDER with which those who are
true to the interests and rights Of the whole Union
Will be assaied will render it complimentary to any
Southern or Democratic candidate say that the re-
suit Of the election " i'll be doubtful
Thus far the South has undoubtedly triunphed -
1t has overthrown the doctrine that Congress could
forbid slavery in the Territories 1t has repealed
the Missouri restriction, and organized pro slavery
government upon soil dedicated by that prohibi-
ton to "freedom." The Aboli.ionists have recent.
ly voted for the conditional admission of slave
State erected upon the "consecrated " Territory
They have abandoned the ilmot prohibition
They now contend for the right of the people of
Territories well as States to requisite their own
domestic institutions in their own way, and acknowl
edge their claim of admission into the Union with
out slavery, as their Constitution shall prescribe.
This is progress! Giddings has thus taken ground
in relation to territorial slavery ultra than Mr.
Calhoun ever ventured TO occupy.
Under those suspicious circumstances we are con.
tent to leave Kansas TO her destinies, and make
some practical application of the great principles
which we have established.
We wish to continental policy announced
and enforced by the government.
Central America is under The tutelage of foreign
powers. Mexico is breaking up like stranded YES
sell and important questions of salvage are likely to
arise amongst the nations.
That Wiimot Provso imposed by Messrs. Clay.
ton and Bulwer, is still unrepealed. We wish to see
the great principles Of non intervention applied to
the ntrgues Of foreign powers in the affairs of Ame-
rican States We wish to see those States exercise
the right organize and regulate their own affairs
in their own way.
These matters involve grave and responsible issu-
es, and they affect to mind the de>tinies of the
South and the duration Of the Union We impati-
ent to proceed TO their discussion ard de,i ion.
In the mean time, if the Senate Conference Bill
pass, Kansas may come into the Union slave
State, or she cannot come in a; all That is the is
sue.
