The coalition for 8 s

q Every DAYS developments lead to the
Conclusion that the Black Reputiicans,
the Know Eothipgs, and Stephen A.
Douglas aud a portion of his followers,
are fixing up a coalition Tor the sPresi-
Dental race in 1860.
Douglas has abandoned all hope OF
obtaining a Presidential nomination as
the hands of a Democratic nationaicon-
vention. Not only that, but be hnds
himself about to "go under as ene,ot
the Senators from the State of Illinois
His only hope of remaining IN public
life turns upon the Black Republicans
of Illinois. and it is now understood
that he has made an arrangement with
the uatiopal leaders of the Black Repub-
lican party, that if that party will re-
turn him to the Senate from Illinois, he
in turn will support w. n. Seward, or
whoever else may be the Black Repub
lican nominee, for the Presidency
Such is the programme now laid down
for the Presidential canvass In $780,
The evidence that such a coalition IS
projected accumulates with each sue
ceeding day. All the big guns of the
Black Republican and Know Nothing
parties, as we'll as the ablest of the anti
LeconIpton Democrats who can be press
ed into the service, are advertised to
stump Illinois this fall, in hopes of re
turning members to the Illinois Legis-
lature favorable to the reelection of
Douglas, while the more bold of the old
Douglas organs are openly aud in terms
proposing such an incongruous aud spolls
seeking union. That is the first move
in the coalitioni the balance will follow,
We advise old Democrats Who have felt
an ieclination TO follow the lead of the
Illinois Senator, to pause and reflect
If they follow his lead, they will fiud
themselves in all human probability ar
rayed against the old Democratic party
before two years roll around.-Sttubcn-
ciHe Union.

DOUGLAS OPINION.

We copy below an extract from Senator Doug
las speech in New Orleans, which states his posi-
ton in regard to the rights of slavery in the terri
tories. If be adheres to his opiniono as here ex-
pressed, which indeed has hitherto been the opin,
ion Of the whole south, he will find himselfat vari-
ence with Buchahan and the Shareholders in their
purpose to enact a slave code for the territories.
"All citizens of the United States no matter
whether they come from the North or the South,
from a free State OF a slave State, can enter a Ter
ritory on equal footing.
but I apprehend when you arrive there with
your property you are subject to the local law Of
protected without local law? The Constitution
gives you a right to go into o Territory and carry
your slave property with you but it does not pun.
ish a man for stealing your slave, when you get
there. 1t does not punish a man for stealing any
otter property when you get there. Congress new.
er yet passed a law to punish q crime or protect
property in any organized Territory.
Congress never yet pasted a criminal code for
any organized Territory. It has simply organized
the Territory aud established a Legislature, that
Legislature being vested with Legislative power over
all rightful subjects of legislation, subject only to
the constitution of the United States. Hence, what
ever jurisdiction the Legislature possesses over
other property, it has over slave property, no more,
no less. Let me ask you, aS Southern men. can
you hold slaves anywhere unless protected by the
local law would not the ~inaction of the local Leg
islature, its refusal to provide a slave code. or to
punish offences against that species of property.
exclude slavery just as effectually as a constitution
al prohibition? Would it not have that effect in
Louisiana, and in every other State? No one will
deny it, Then, let me ask you, if the people Of a
Territory refuse to pass a slave code, how ars you
going to make them do its When you give them

THE ANTI.SLAVERY BUGLE.

power to l~egislato on all rightGul subjects Of legis-
l%ation, ii becomes a question for them to decide,
and not for me.
"lt the local Legislature imposes a tax on horses
or any other Kind Of property, you may think it o
hardship, but how are you going to help it? Just
80 it is with regard to traffic in liquors. If you
are dealing in liquors, you have the same right to
take your liquor into thel Territory, that anybody
else has to take any other species of property
You may pass through and take your liquors in
transitu, and you will be protected in your right OF
property under tho Constitution Of the United
States but it you open the packages they become
subject to the local law and should the Main law
happen to prevail in the Territory, you had better
travel with your liquors Hence, if the local Leg
islature has the same right over slave property rs
over every other species of property, what RICH,
have you to complain of that equality But il you
do complain how are you going to help it? And
let me say to you that if you oppose this just doc,
trine, if you attempt to exempt slaves from She
same rules that apply to every other kind of prop
erty, you will abandon your strongest ground Of
defence against the assaults of the Black Republit
cans and Abolitionists. If the people of a terrific
ny are in favor of slavery, they will make laws to
protect it if opposed to slavery, they will moi
make those laws and you cannot compel them tc
do it. 1t comes simply to this-they don't wan
it; they wont have it, and you can't force it upon
them"
