Tno common ..hue and cry"

The opposition to the true Democracy con-
tinuo 70 howl over "Broderick and Black
Republicans" "thinkinglthat they will keep the
people deceived as to the true issue before
the country. until the great contest in 1860
This "hue and cry has become perfectly
sickening to every man of ordinary intelli-
gence and information. 1t is we'll known to
every man who pretends to know anything,
that some of the most distinguished men of
the South are opposed to the Lecomptonism
of President Buchanan, and that the fiercest
spirit in all the South, on that side of the
question, HenryA Wise, of Virginia, is not
only iayorably inclined to the institution of
slavery, but a perfect Slavery Propagandist,
and would glory in seeing slavery perpetua-
ted forever where it is, and extended to eve
ry conceivable quarter of the earth lie be-
lieyes that slavery is an institution ordained
of God, sanctihed with the divine blessing,
and destined to produce in the future, un-
counted benefits to the human race. Many
of the strongest opposers Of the Presidents
Kansas policy here, in this State, are men
who were born and raised in the South, and
are thoroughly imbued with pro.slavery
sentiments. Thousands of men are here, too,
who never were the followers of David G.
Broderick, but approve of his vote in oppo-
sition to the Lecompton iniquity. They are
not Broderick men, but they are Douglas men,
They acknowledge Douglas for their leader
and not Broderiek. 1t was not Mr.. Broderick
who led the anti-LecomptJn Democracy in
the Kansas struggle but it was Mr.. Douglas
1t was not Mr.. Broderick who immortalized
himself as the author of the Kansas Nebraska
Bill, but it was Mr.. Douglas. 1t is not Mr..
Broderick that the Washington Union, the
Presidents organ, is leveling its thurders at,
but it is Mr.. Douglas. 1t is not Mr.. Brod.
erck against whom the whole Lecompton
Southern and Northern press are splitting out
their wrathful venom, in perfect hurricane
of viperous hisscs, but it is Mr.. Douglas
lie is the great head and front of the Popu.
lar Sovereignty party, or, in other words,
the true Democratic party. Is any man silly
enough to suppose that this great contest is
confined to the State Of California? How
can it be, then, Broderick movement? No,
sir, it is not by any means confined to Cali
fornia; it extends throughout the length and
breadth of the United States, and the master
spirit that leads, upon the side of the people
as against Federalism and Lecomptonism
combined is Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois.
A"Broderick and Republican movement"
What idiotic nonsense Any poor benighted
apology for a man who thinks, in the honest
sincerity of his little, shallow, Lillputian
soul, that this great struggle between Popu-
ular Sovereignty and its enemies, is either
Broderiek or Black Republican movement,
deserves commiseration. He might easily be
persuaded that the moon was made of green
cheese
Southern men-and we know what we
are talking about when we speak of South
ern men-Southern men, we say, who agree
with Mr.. Douglas, on this question of Popu-
lar Sovereignty, do so, because it is right
and because it is good Democratic doctrine.
but they do SO, at the same time, the more
willingly, because they believe that the prin
ciple must eventually operate as much in fa-
yor of slave States as free States. The day
must come, they are well convinced, when
Cuba will become portion of the American
Confederaey, and when the most valuable
portions of Mexico and the Central American
States will be swallowed up in the advancing
boundaries of the Union. The result of the
free exercise and operation of the Kansas
Nebraska principle must, in that case, result
in giving very great preponderance to the
slave States, because the character of the
countries in question is fully adapted, for the
most part, to slave labor, and there slavery
must inevitably CO. The South, by opposing
the doctrine of the Kansas Nebraska Bill
gains nothing and loses everything if she bc
successful in her opposition. The time will
come, when she will be glad to acquesce in
the principle, because it will be in a ease
where majority of the people are slave
holders and have established a Slave Consti-
tuition. If she persists in her present course
and defeats popular sovereignty, she will
have erected a bar to her own interests over
which she cannot pass. The principle is a
fair one, equal and just in its operations, and
must ultimately greatly benefit the South.
