which, until they werc promulgated by th'
present administration, no man except Johl
G. Calhoun ever dared openly to defend
doctrines which send Slavery wherever th'
Constitution of the United States is para
mount law, and wherever tho govcrnmen
is protected by the American flag. TVo
ters Of the Ninth Congressional district
voters Of Sandusky county, remember tha
a support of the Democratic party in any
shape, is support of this slave extending
doctrine, The Administration has no
failed to make its points clear, or to expires,
its viows in language so plain, MS to be in
telligible 10 all; and under the discipin,
of tho Democratic party, indiuiduals ar,
permitted no latitude Of either expression o.
opinion. The law is clear and emphatic
that "he who is not for us is against us >
and il is enforced with as much rigor a,
marks TIE execution of the mandates oI
Brigham Young himself Had the Rcpub-
licans in 1886, either through the press OF
on the stump, charged the Democracy with
any such schemes as have been declared by
the administration for the extension of sla.
very, it would have been idiculed--laughed
TO scorn. But the President has not aban-
'doned one single measure which he has in.
itiated--has not abated one ''jot or title
Of the dogmas he has uttered. He finds il
polite just at this time to say but little in
regard to his policy-but tho principles
that govern his administration are fixed and
interchangeable, and his adherents must bow
to his direction. To show what bis position
is we propose to give II few items, from
which it will be seen, that we do not false
ly charge him and his party with determi-
nation to uphold the institution of slavery
and to permit its expansion as far as it can
be induced to go.
In his letter to Prof Sillman, Aug. Is,
1857, Mr.. Buchanan said:
SLAVERY existed at that period Us
54) and still exists IN KANSAS EgUN-
DER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES. THIS point has at
last been RgFLNALLY DECIDED
by the highest Tribunal Judge Tancy)
knoWn to our ldps How IL could ever
have been doubted as u MISTER Y"
That is plain and expressive. 1t speaks
for itself and needs no comment. Let all
who believe that slavery legally exists there
now, vote the Democratic ticket. But lest
his letter may not be deemed by all as con-
elusive lot US look at nm extract from his
message which is as follows:
1t has been solemnly adjudged by the
highest Judicial Tribunal that Ess- SLA-
VERY EXISTS IN KANSAS BY VIR-
TUE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES.
"ES- KANSAS IS THEREFORE AS
MUCH OF A SLAVE STATE AS
GEORGIA OR SOUTH CAROLINA"
And then in addition let US give the fol-
lowing authorities, all of which have a con-
nection with the history of the past eight
cen months that render them interesting
as we'll as valuable.
In the Drcd Scott decision occurs this
passage:
The African race was so inferior that
they had no rights which the white man
,Cas boundto respect; and that the negro
might justly and lowfuuy be reduced to
slavery for his benefit"
Thus far VIC have given "official" docu-
mcnts. We now add to them tho declara-
tons made in speeches of leading men and
champions of the Democratic party.
Mr.. A. G. Brown of Mississippi, in
speech delivered on the llth of July, 1857,
made the following statement:
81 heard it from the Presidents (Buchan-
ans own lips, that this thing of Squatter
Sovereignty was one of the MOST DAM
NABLE HERESIES THAT WAS EV-
Err BROACHED in this or any other
country, and that he would leave nothing
undone to THROTTLE 1T. y
He (thoPrcsdent) had no doubt that Walk
cr's appointment would be cancelled"
The Hon. L. NJ. Keitt, in n recent speech,
made use of the following language:
"Thc Democratic party, he thought, was
sounder now than it had been for years.
1t was so because THE SOUTH WAS
NOW THE MAJORITY IN THAT
PARTY, and had driven off from its mum
bors all the tainted, timid and feeble men,
bers of it from the North. He would not
predict, but in his judgment the Black Re
pu6lieanS would win the election in 1850"
ale went to Washington at the begin
ming Of the last session, resolved to oppose
the administration, but when he got there
he found Mr.. Buchanan upon the plotform
of THE SOUTH 1t was then he de-
termincd to sustain the President cordially
and ungrudgingly,"
Yes, the Democratic party is sound be-
cause it is controlled by the South. Who
doubts that it is so controlled, and who
doubts that Mr. Buchanan is devoted body
and soul to the interests Of tho South -
Mr.. Keitt became satisfied of that fact and
therefore concluded to surrender his preiu-
dices against him and yield his support TO
