Facts for the Peonle.

There are certain undeniable facts
which no honest or candid man will at
tempt TO get round, which weihink ought
to be read in every political gathering in
the country. Here are some Of them:
The Democrats party passee The Ne
braska Bill, which professej TO give the
right of determining for or against sla-
very to the people Of HE Territories.
This doctrine-o of the people oft Ter
ritories, especially Kansas. dete roining
the slavery q~nestion-they advocated
Throughout the canvass Of 1876, against
Fremont, i1 Ohio and all The Northwesf.
and on this d~octrinc was Cox, Groesbeck,
PendIeton and others elected.
la open defiance of this doctrine, the
Democratic Administration attempted 10
force through Congress the Lecomplnn
Constitution, which was formed by fraud
and was not sustained by oneftth of the
people Of Kansas, as the subsequent eiec-
ton proved; thus openly contemning and
dsfyipg tie doctrine Of Popular Sovereign
ty, which placed it in power.
Having failed in this, the English Bill
was passed, which admitted Kansas Nth
slavery, but kept it a Territory olher-
wise. 1t shut the door on freedom, and
opened it to slavery. This fact is in the
letter Of the law.
Buchanan, the Democratic Presi.
dent, declared in his letter to Sillimsn,
that Slavery EXISTS in Kinsas, in spite of
the people:
Judge fancy, in his Dred Scot opin-
ion, says that slavery can exist anywhere
in the Territories.
To CROWN II WHOLE, the President
now says-and the last number of the
Union his official paper, says-that SLAVE
ry crisis in Kansas, and the people of the
territory HAVE no RIGHT TO L%EGISLATE
UPON IT. If any one doubts this fact, let
Them be referred TO several plumbers of
the Union for the month Of September,
1853.
As a sequel TO those high handed yio-
%lations of popular rights, and solemnly
avowed doctrines, the Administration, by
lis official organ, the Union, makes war
upon Douglas. Though the best repre-
sentative of Northwest Democracy to be
found in all the Northwestern States, he
is denounced in the most vindictive man
ner By Buchanan, by the Union his Off
cial pap9I, and by every loyal subject of
The King-President. The Democratic
Monarch defies the Democratic people.
Buchanan has been in office one year
and a half. AMI in that time has made a
debt OF forty million Of dollars.
The official report of Cobb, his Secre-
tary of the Treasury, shows that in the
year ending Both of June 1853, The ex
penses of the Government were EIGHTY
ONE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
The same report shows that to pay this
The Government had 10 use tUenty three
millions of borrowed money.
Since said report was published the
Administration has borrowed twenty mil
lions more.
The summary of these facts shows
that the Administration has thrown over
board The whole doctrine of Popular Sow
ereigniy; has openly sided with the Pro
Slavery party; denies all power in the
people of the Territories over Slavery,
and is, in lis conduct, pnrsuing an extrav-
agant career. and incurrng a great pub
lie debt.
These facts should be submitted 10
every man of sense in the country for
their consideration aud their final verdict.
If the people are in favor of these things
lei. them say SO. lfnot, let them honestly
say that Cincinnati Gazette.
