Congress.
Although the Northern organs of sham
democracy will attempt to ignore the fact,
or to cvadc its force. it is nevertheless true
that the South is now demanding the enact
mcnt by Congress of STARE codes for the Ter
'1tOrics. 1t demands that, inasmuch as the
democratic party has accepted the bred
Scott doctrine, Chat the Constitution per
mits shareholders to carry their human chat
tells into all national territory the party
must also provide for the protection of that
property after it arrives in the territories =
And this demand is not merely from the fire
eating journals ofthc South, 1t is put forth
by the more moderate and cons ryatvc or
g'ns Of southern democracy. The Charles
ton News, Oh behalf Of the advanced guard"
of slavery says;
II. the Constitution eonftrs upon Slavery
the right to 20 there Ito the Territories - as
according to the Kansas Nebraska bin and
the bred Scott decision 1t does. then it also
imposes the duty of protecting that right,

CODE FOR The TERRITORIES
This is plain-but it is no palmer than
the endorsement given to this very language
by the R"hmond Inquirer. the organ Of the
moderate >outaernor>. and by the New York
Day Book, confidential Northern organ Of
Buchanan and the modern democratic PARTY.
Read what the Richmond Enquirer says
on this subject.
The right of property in slaves, in the
NGt,S. is now placed practically. rs well as
legally, beyond the reach Of federal le-sla-
tive entertainment. But in the Territories
the case is different. Its not sufficient that
the decision OF thc supreme Court prevents
Congress and all its delegates from the pro-
hibition of slavery in Territory. TdGr

and criminal e9as for dte profcrftoa 2t STARE
FroPsrtyW tic 1o9iorisS ought Ia be pro-
rid,d. TO u limited extent, this is already
provided. In every Territory containing a
majority of pro slavery men. the power Of
the Territorial Legislature is all sufficient
for the purpose. In other Territories, it is
at least doubtful whether the Legislatures
will exercise this power. and there is 10
power elsewhere to compel such exercise
In such case of omission. and under the
present state of federal legislation, much if
not all, must depend upon the loyalty and
efficiency of the President of the United
States. He it is who appoints the Territeri-
al executive and Judiciary. 1t will be the

aries to a jealous performance of their scy-
eral officers. Hence, we cordially unite with
the Day Book in the assertion that the neIi
Democratic nominee for The Presidency SiouH
be P'tdged 10 the protection Of STARE property
IN al The Ter4to1ics.
AND WE GO FURTHER. IT IS VERY
DESIRABLE THAT CONGRESS SHOULD
PASS ADDITIONAL LAWS FOR THE
PROTECTION OF SLAVE PROPERTY IN
THE TERRITORIES. Tie present cods Of
tcdcfal legislation IS insufficient fof tbs par
pose.
And to all this the Day Book obsequiously
responds on behalf Of the New York dcmoe-
