Mn. DOUGLAS AND SLAvERY.-Senat0r Doug
las, in his great closing speech against the Le-
compton Constitution, took the occasion to lay
the groundwork of . future radical position ON
the general slavery question, in sympathy alike
with that of the republican party, and the policy
and practice Of all parties and the government
itself down to the time wnen John G. Calhoun
obtained his fatal ascendancy in the democratic
councils:
II recognize" said Mr.. D., "the right of the
slayeholding states to regulate their own d0mes-
| tic insttutiOns but l do not admit cannot
admit-thas the right of property in slaves is
higher than any State constitution, or that the
| State cannot abolish it. But such is the doc
triue Of the Washington Union-such is the
doctrine Of the Lecompton Constitution. That
doctrine, if accepted, ia. . fatal blow to the
principles of our government l felt it to be
such when frst saw it, and hence / refused TO
vote for the editor Of the. Union" Mr.. Douglas
then read from the Cincinnati platform various
propositions upon slavery, to each Of which he
gave his assent, saying that he stood upon
them laet year, and stood upon them still. They
related chiefly, - did his inferences FROM them.
to the proposition that each State must decide
for itself upon the status or condition OF its
, negro population, without interference from
Congress. The right Of each State 20 regulate
) it's own institutions he dwelt upon with much
} earnestness, Is the cardinal principle OF Oul
government. The proposition that property II
, slaves was above oil law, was monstrOus pro
position, against which he protested, in his owl
name and the name of his constituents.
