The great constitutional principle for which the South
ntens il il thus seen, unqualhediy recognised and
affirmed in this BILL and that, repeat is all thai Was
involved In the contest No expects Kansas to
man permanently slave State. The South would re-
Give no practical benefit from her immediate admission
INTO the Union That event may now be postponed by
the rejection Of the proposition submitted by Congress
without the slightest damage to the interests or homer OF
the south We have secured all by this bill which I'M
her the circumstances of the slightest value 20 us
and while it is more than probable that Kansas will ac
sp its conditions and come into the Union it is mat
Ter of no consequence to the South whether she does or
not
There is not dissenting voice amongst the democracy
If Old knox, far hear, in regard to the re-
ent settlement of the Kansas question All satisfied
md heartily rejoice that this hitherto unfortunate subject
Of agitation has been got rid of The democracy now
an come together and work together most cordially,
without having any hard feelings towards each other
Let ygones be bygones and let every democrat
to make no reference past differences in spirit of the
east unkindness. Let man be known as t'Lecomp-
ton democrat = or an santi-Lecsmpton democrat nor
let any test in regard TO that subject be applied here
alter.
We every day see unmstakable signs that the democ-
mcy will carry Knox county next fall With good
ticket and continuation of the existing good feeling,
our triumph will be certain and overwhelming ~ Nornf
