And then 10 addition let us give the fol-
lowing authorities, oil Of which have con.
nectiOn with the history Of the past eigh-
teen months that rended them interesting
as we'll as valuable.
In the Died Scott decision occurs this
passage:
'The African race was 80 inferior that
they kGd 10 righls aUhich the white man
'i0ds tOuad TO respect; and that the negro
might justly and lalgfully DO reduced to
slavery for his benefit
Thus far we hsye given official docu.
mentH, We pow add TO them the declara-
tion made in speeches Of leading men and
champions Of the Democratic party.
Mr. A. G. Brown Of Mississippi, in a
speech delivered on tho lth Of July 1857
made the following statement:
4 heard it from the Presidents (Bu.
chansn's) own lips. that this thing Of
Squatter Sovereignty was one of the
MOST DAMNABLE HERESIES
THAT WAS EVER BRoACHED in
this or any other country, and that he will
leave nothing undohe TO THROTTLE

He 1.-THE President) had no doubt that
Walkers appointment could be cancelled
The Hon. L. NJ. Keitt, in recent
speech made use Of the following language:
The Democratic patty, be thought, was
sounder now than it had been for years.
1t was so because THE SOUTH WAS
NOW THE MAJORITY IN THAT
PARTY, and had driven of from its nan.
bets all the tainted, timid and feebl, mem.
ber of it from the North. lie would not
predict, but in his judgement the Black

He went 10 Washington at the begin.
ming Of the last session, resolved TO oppose
tho administration, but when ke got there
he found Mr.. Buchanan upon tie platform

and pngrndgingly.'
Yes, the Democratic party is sound be.
cause i is controlled by the South. Who
doubts kbaL il is 80 controlled, and who
doubts that Mr.. Buchanan is devoted body
and soul TO the interests OF the south?--
Mr.. Ke'tt became satisfied OF that fact,
and therefore concluded to surrender bis
Prejudices against him and yield bis sup.
port to an Administration which be had
resolved TO oppose.
But be will close the Testimony by pre-.
seOti 'g tie opinion Of Speaker Orr, of
South Carolina. lilo said:
with regard to Slavery, he thought il
beiierproteeted under Tie GOvernmem than
ahad been for thirty years. AS to the
future, he WAS for cooperation with the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY. He would |
go into Convention, go into caucus, seek !
TO have an Influence in it Ly ruling AND
