Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1858-09-03

The Phil ,delphis North American, the organ Of
the Black Republicans Of Pennsylvania, Hon Thos.
CorWin, Horace Greeley, the Cincinnati Gazstte,
snd others Of the leaders and organs, are already
sbating their demsnds and taking sand beside the
northern Democracy in regard to the admission OF
slave States.
So says the Patriot. Now see what GREELEY
says:
In 1920, New York, by her Legislature, and
many Of her Representatives in Congress-, objected
10 tie admission of Missouri as a slave State. Now,
although his judgment would concur in the policy
and rueiple inulca'ed by this resistance, yet be
spPTehended that, Tracrieally, the resistance was
o'de a. he VIZ Rg point d.
'Whatever might be said of the policy Of exclud
ing State, be thought that thy rouid Be
able 10 szcude staUe STATE on the ground Of being
slaOs State :"
He stood upon Mr.. Clay's principle, enunciated
in 1850 that slavery has erstsee IL e abSeacc Of
posture lar. [APPlause.] lie did not think they
need discuss the question whether Congress had the
right to abolish slavery in the Territories first
the question aoheteT any has The rght to esablish
IL there He said one had until The people to
frame their State Constitution and not till then"
Mr.. GREELEY's Judgment coHeuys in the policy
and principle" Of opposing the admission of slave
States. lie Acknowledges however that they will
be able to exclude slave State that ground
alone He thinks they should change the point OF
resistance, and therefore ASSERTS still more ultra
and offensive doctrine which would exclude slavery
entirely from the territories. He denies that any
power establish slavery there. If that doctrine
is sustained We can never haveany more slave ter
ritOry, and if we can have no more slave territory
we can certainly have no more slave States.
Mr. GREELEY has, therefore, yielded nothing to
~ II Il
his opposition to slavery, but stands prepared re
sist It's extension Poiat where he thinks resist
ance will be most efectuaL We deny that the lead
srs and organs Of the Black Republicans s'are
sbating their demands and taking stani beside
the Northern Democracy" The Northern Democ
raoy, like the Southern Democracy, maintain
that slave holders have q right to 90 into the
territory with their slaves and that the Consti
tuition protects them in the and enjoyment Of
their property. GREELEY aud his followers contend
that the slave would be free as soon as he set his
foot outside the limits Of the slave States aud that
there is no power earthto enact law by which, he
could be held in bondage in the territories. If
neighbOr the Patriot is really ignorant of the oh
jecls and schemes of the Black Republican leaders
aud organs we commend the follow ng extract from
the Tribune Of August %, 10 his attention:
