his country, to do otherwise. Yet at the
unconstitutional, and indecent solicitation
of the President-backed by what other
consider atoms than those of "party," he
does not say-he did skulk vote on the
questionable stite his manhood-did de-
bauch his conscience--did betray his high
trust as a Senator, and so far as was in
his power subverted the Constitution of
his Country to make james Buchanan a
DICTATOR of the destinies of the people.
Scarcely any less evidence than his own
avowal, would have convinced us of the
fact. But we have that avowal publicly
made, and with the apparent confidence
that it will be approved by the party, in
deed, with the seeming understanding that
the party expected it at his hands, and
adopts the doctrine as its cherished and
most vital principle of action. We give
the letter of the Senator, as published by
himself, and which Democratic papers are
copying as an exhibition of true DemOc-
rocy. 1t is dated and reads as follows:
PnrLADELPH1A, May 9, '58.

of the Kansas compromise bill. did not

Eg-We shall look with much interest
for the returns of the election held in Mis-
souri, on yesterday. (Monday.) We do
not expect the election Of any Republican
Congressman from that State, except +.
p. Blair, jr, of the st. Louis District.
We have some hopes of his success, but
confess our fears Of the result.
There Is large German population in
st. Louis, who in sentiment and feeling are
with Mr.. Blair, but every unfair means
have been resorted to to prejudice them
against him.
There are three candidates-Adminis-
tration, American and Republican. The
Administration and American parties, seem
to understand each other perfectly, and
while as loving as cousins between them
selves, make an unceasing warfare upon
Mr.. Blair.
The Administration party denounce him
as a rank Know Nothing, and appeal to the
Germans with fanatic earnestness, to vote
tho Democratic ticket and thus save them
selves from slavery. The American
party denounce him as their worst and
most dangerous enemy-as wishing to
make Missouri free State, and thereby
invite a further emigration of foreigners to
her soil, which they say will forever ruin
their party. And then both Administra-
ton and American unite in denouncing
him as an "abolitionist," and use all the
choice language employed by MedilI, Olds,
and that class of politicians in Ohio, when
speaking of Gov. Chase, and other Re-
publicans.
With this double fire and desperate war
fare, we fear that Mr.. Blair has been de-
feated, but whether defeated or not, the
canvass itself is triumph. Freedom Of
speech and the press has been gained in
Missouri. and success must soon follow.
We will be able to announce the result next
week.

ored name of Democracy.
But with all this we shall not despair of
elecling the Republican candidate. We
know the people are hoSc,t, and mean to
do right, and do not believe that they can
be SO far msled as TO elect tool of the
slave helder's, TO aid in establishing n
despotism OH the ruins of our constitution.
We are sure they will not do SO purposely,
and believe that if the issue could be
fairy presented, the majority would be
overwhelming.

ES- Some of the Democrats of Ohio,
claim that the Kansas question is settled
by the English Bill. Cox, and the other
Democratic Members Of Congress, who
fought the viiany SO bravely last winter.
and then caVed, say the thing is settled.
Douglas, and his friends III Illinois, are
fighting the swindle to the death. While
Forney, who made Buchanan President,
through his "Press," talks in this fashion.
He says:
"The English finality cannot be accepted
by any true Democrat, and least of all by
any one who desires the success Of his
party. Or the contrary, 1t will be repu-
dated by them all as an incubus upon it,
paraly ling its powers, which it is their
duty to the party to shake of as soon as
possible. But it may be asked, how is it
to be shaken off? Easily. BY clecti"g
members of Congress who will do justice
to Kansas-who will admit her into the
Union rs soon as she requests it, and pre-
sents a Constitution approved by her peo-
pie. This the English fnality refuses
this the Democracy must do or it will not
only be defeated, but disgraced and de-
stroyed. 1t will not do to say 'the Kan
Sis question is ScHIed,' and that those
who deny this are agitators, enemies of the
Democratic party, and allies Of tho BLACK
Repubicans.'

Presidential Dict:ltiom.

In theory, our Government is separated
into three coordinate branches, each OF
which is independent Of the other. The
duties and prerogatives of each is dis
tinctly marked out and clearly defned in
the constitution. The greatest anxiety OF
the wise and good men who framed that
immortal chart of our liberties was, to
prevent one branch of the Government
from absorbing the functions of the others.
The experience of all history, as we'll as
sound reason teaches that whenever, and
wherever this takes place, practical des-
potism is the result, under whatever forms
the machinery of Government may con-
tinue to be conducted
The people, in their capacity of sover-
eigns, elect members of Congress to rep
resent their wishes-their will-their
intS ests. The representative holds his
position, wields his influence, and casts his
vote, not for his own personal agSrandise-
ment, but as a trust the most sacred that
can possibly be devolved upon man. lie
embodes in his official position for the
time being, and by delegation merely, the
sovereignty of his constituents. A be-
trayal Of the confidence thus reposed in
him-a violation of his high trust, is an
o6ense-a crime, whose magnitude is as
much greater than that Of the petty swim
dler, as the consequences flowing from the
corruption of the vital principles on which
society is based, are of more lasting i'm
portance than individual pecuniary loss.
But if it be crime in the single Repre-
sentative thus to betray the will of his
constituents, or pervert his influence, or
cast his vote in favor of the wrong, what
language can portray the internal atrocity
Of him, who, through the confidence of
the people, has reached the high position
Of President of the United States, and
having sworn to support the constitution,
which expressly separates him from the
other departments, shall dellber-
ately use the influence which that ex-
alted station gives him, to corrupt the
Representatives of the people, and induce
them to betray their trust?
In the better days of the Republic, the
President who would have dared to tam
per with the Representatives of the people,
would have been instantly impeached.-
But such is tho degeneracy OF latter-day
Democracy, that sucn corrupting inhu-
ences are openly avewed, and apparently
without shame.
The late Hon. Mr.. Henderson, was a
Democratic Senator in Congress. He was
utterly opposed TO the Lscompton swim
die. lie had declared his adherence of
the thing, and his fixed purpose to vote

Democratic State Convention.

We learn from the Cincinnati papers OF
Friday, that the Democratic State Con-
vention was controlled by the Lecompton-
ties. Itpassed among others, the following
resolution omphatically endorsing Bu-
chanan:
"Resozred, That we have full and abb
ding confidence in the ability, patriotism
and elevated purity of character of James
Buchanan, the present Chief Magistrate
of the United States, and in his wisdom
and experience to administer our national
atli,irs.''
How the Douglas men stood that, we
are not yet advised. Perhaps the following
reconciled them TO it. 1t will be seen in
this that if they will endorse Buchanan,
and vote the ticket, they will be considered
good enough Democrats for practical pur-
poses. That's good
tRcSolVed, That we regard the Le-
compton controversy. so called, ut an end,
and as being settled issue; therefore, we
refuse to recognize it as test to be pre-
scribed by either side of those who differed
in opinion, believing that all who uphold
the cardinal principles of the party, and
sustain its organization by voting the
Democratic ticket, are good enough Demo-
Gratis for all practical purposes"
But the 9Th resolution is the lowest
pros:ration that any party in Ohio has ever
made to the demands of the Slave Power
1t is in these words
"ResOzved, That, in future, we are op-
posed to the admission of new State into
the Union until the population thereof
shall equal the ratio for Representative
in Congress. and until, rs in the case of
Minnesota, it's proposed constitution shall
have been submitted to, and approved by
a vote Of the people"
There you have it. 1t is certainly not
in the power of dough faces to go beyond
that Look at it "M future aOe are OPP
posed to the admission Of a ne,o State into
tie Union, untI tile population MereQf
sAaU equal tile ratio for a Representative
IN Congress-" The ratio now is 93,48O,
and after 800 will probably be very near.
if not quite l5o, ,ooe., Now, take the
Democratic doctrine as held by all factions
of the party, from Buchanan down, that
the Constitution carries, and establishes
slavery in all the Territories, and that
neither Congress nor the people can pro-
hibitit until they come to form a State
Constitution, and you have the most ultra
demands of the most ultra Slavery extern
sionist, adopted by the Democratic Con-
vention of Ohio. BY the platform, Slavery
must go into all the Territories, and be
maintained there as long as they remain
Territories, but they shall not change their
condition until they have population Of
over 100000. This, of course, will re-
quire many years, during all which time
slavery is absolutely there, and has time
to mold the habits and laws of the people
in such a way as to. secure its recogni-
tion when State Constitution is fl
nally formed. And yet the intelligence
of the people will be insulted by pro-
fessors of popular Sovereignty! Can the
people be so humbugged ?
