No unprecedented man at the time when Judge
Douglas proposed 10 repeal the Missouri Com
promise, could deny that the object sought BY
that repeal was the extension of slavery
Much less can auy man deny at this late day
after the border ruffanism in Kansas, and the
still more detestable border ruffanism on the
part Of the pro-slavery administration and the
democratic members Of Congress, that that was
the sole object Of the repeal When all see
that every means, OF force and fraud, that the
Federal Government could bring to bear upon
the people of Kansas, to coerce tham into ac-
cepting slave constitution was resorted to. how
can any one deny that the object Of the Gov
ernment was the extension oil slavery? 1t 10
useless to 60 into the details of all these At
tempts, they have been reiterated so often,
that the public is sick and disguised with the
subject.
But, we might say, that the disposition on the
Iart OF the Government to make Kansas slave
state, was most openly and unmistakably man-
iiested, when Mr.. Douglas, a. Chairman Of the
Committee on Territories, proposed to amend
the original Nebraska Bill by dvdng the ter
ritory into two. This was strictly in accordance
with the Southern balance Of power doctrine, of
which Jefferson Davis, at the South, and leb
Cushing at the North, are the most distin-
guished advocates. The Government and the
Democratic party felt certain, that ii they made
cure at least one Of them, and that, the bess -
regarded climate, soil, &C., 70 slavery. When,
however, the action Of the North, In promoting
emigrant societies, &C., thwarted their plans,
their rage could not be restrained, and from
Douglas down to Candle Box Calhoun, they de-
nounced, vilfed and slandered the free labor
ers, Who went to Kansas TO build up homes Tor
themselves and their posterity.
In this connection We might add, that the
editor of he New York Day Book, who was in
Washington at the time, and whose paper il
leading organ Of the pro slavery democracy,
now comes forward and admits that the object
OF the Democratic leaders, northern and south.
ern, and foremost among them Judge Douglas,
was to obtain the admission OF Kansas a. .
slave State. The following frank and emphatic
article from that journal should be preserved
tor future reference. The editor openly avows
that he was one Of the conspirators against
freedom; and while he has no wish 70 escape
