Iaparisaiity OF Executive Power.

This expedition was planned and put in ex-
eca.ion with the full knowledge on the par,
OF The Government that such an enterprise
was on foot, and i. has proceeded in viola
ton Of the laws OF the land and the laws OF
nations to make war upon friendly people.
Another squad of the same class Of PEG
pie, short time since, brought a cargo OF
free people from Africa, landed on the south.
ern coast, and sold these people as slaves to
the citizens of that section Of the country
This oct was also in violation Of the laws Of
humanity and the laws and treaties OF the
United States.
On the other hand, about the same time,
a 49,
arrested by the officers of Government for
feeding and clothing and helping on their
journey two persons who were escaping from
oppression.
In the one case the laws of God and
nan have been openly violated BY men band.
ed together for the preparation of the high
est crimes known to mankind and the Gov.
eminent, with oil the immense power Of the
Nation at it's disposal, has suffered these
criminals to accomplish their wicked schemes
unmolested. In the other case, men prompt
ed by feelings Of sympathy have relieved the
sufferings of their fellow creatures in tech
meal violation Of political law; and immedi-
stely the veilant officers of Government are
on the track to run them down with the scent
and the ferocity Of blood hounds in pursuit
Of their victims.
This is but fair sample Of the spirit Of
impartialty which is exhibited by the Ad-
minstration in its entire policy in the treat
ment Of the North and the South.

Douglas affiliated with the Republicans
against the National Democracy, he proposed
TO give Frank Blair Jim Green's place 10 the
Senate Of the United States. The Democ.
racy have now turned the tables on Doug
las by giving Jim Green his place ms Chair
man OF the Committee on Territories. Thus
is the chalice offered to his own lips.
But that is not the only case in which Mr..
Douglas has been overtaken by retributive
Justice. lie got up the humbug of popular
s0sereieniy and procured the repea! Of the
Missouri Compromise, in order to promote
the Interests of the South and secure the sup
port OF the Shareholders 10 his efforts to OBJ
tain the Presidency. The Shareholders ap-
proved his treason to the North and ayailed
themselves Of the benefits Of IL, but they now
spurn him with the just and indignant con
tempt his treason merited.
CO Tie sIaveocracy Of Congress are all
in favor Of the admission OF Oregon with
population Of 10000, and opposed to the ad.
mission OF Kansas with population one
third larger. The Oregon Senators will vote
to uphold and extend the domination of the
Shareholders, while the Kansas Senators
would vote with the North. In this fact il
found the grand reason Why Oregon IL to be
admitted With 10000 inhabitants and Kan.
sas is 10 be kept out till she shall have o.
4u0 inhabitants, since she refused TO come in
ne a Slave State last session with half that
number.
