The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1858-09-30

Q
We believe not
Lefingwell endorses the Administration
Gy- Last week we published the letter
of Mr.. HEATH, post master at Dubuque,
to the Davenport Gazette, stating that all
differences between Mr.. LEFF1NGwELL
and the friends of the Administration
had been removed, and that the former.
if elected, had pledged himself to sup
port the measures and policy of Mr. b.
cHANAN. In view of this, Postmaster
HEATH has taken the stump for LETTING.
WELL, and the Administration journals,
which had before either openly opposed
LEFT. or silently acquiesced in his nomi-
nation, have become jubilant with his
praise. They openly urge his election
because it would show that Iowa endors-
es the Administration. The Davenport
Meas says:
"Of our own District we have little
fear; the prospects of Judge Letting
wells election are promising, and, if full
filled, will AMPLY SHOW THAT
IOWA ENDORSES THE ADMINS
TRATION."
Here you have it, Douglas Democrats.
Vote for Mr.. LEFF1NGwELL, and that vote
endorses JAMES BUCHANAN. You can
not gainsay it. You may say it will not
endorse his Lecompton policy. Let us
grant this. That question is now an OBJ
solete one, and Mr. BUCHANAN cares but
little whether you endorse it or not. All
he wants is men who will endorse his flu
ture policy. Will Mr.. LErF1NGwELL do
this No man doubts it. And what is
that policy :? One important part of it,
distinctly foreshadowed by his organs
and his partizans. is to refuse Kansas ad-
mission into the Union, until the provi-
sions of the English bill are complied
with-until she has a population of
$4,000. Mr.. LEFFINGwELL, when ques-
toned upon this point, said, that in his
individual opinion, no State should be
admitted until she had population enough
for a representative. Does not this, in
connection with the good feeling now
subsisting between LEFFINewELL and the
friends Of the Administration, show con-
clusiyely that he will support Mr.. BU-
cHANAN and the South in their policy Of
preventing the admission of Kansas p
Will you, Democrats of Buchanan cour-
ty, support man who is ready thus to
discriminate against freedom-who yir-
tually declares that while 40. 900 inhabi-
tants are enough for the formation and
admission of slave state, 10000 alone
will suffice for free state /? This is the
policy which You must support, it you
vote for WIN. +. LEFFISGwELL. You
cannot avoid it,
Again: In voting for Mr.. LETTING
WELL, you vote for the extension of slay-
cry into all our territories. This also you
cannot avoid He tells you he believes
in Popular Sovereignty, and this you in
terpret to mean the right of the people Of
a territory to establish Slavery therein or
exclude it therefrom. But he is to sup
port JAMES BUCHANAN and the bred
Scott Decision, and does either the one or
the other acknowledge such Alright? No,
The Died Scott decision distinctly as
serts that Slaves are property under the
consttution-that the territories are the
common property Of all the states, and
are held in trust by Congress for their
common use--that no power exists to
prevent any citizen Of a State from going
into them and carrying with him any
