Sensible views.

The Columbus gazette" which main-
tains an independent course towards the
different political parties, thus speaks out
on the subject Of Slavery and Democracy:
Our readers have had our views OF The
comparative merits of the systems Of free
and slave labor in all their bearings upon
The material prosperity, intelligence. NOR
ais, DC, DC, of the country. In no sin-
gle respect can slavery have any claims to
the favorable consideration Of enlightened
minds. Free institutions, are therefore de.
simbe. The free laboring people of the
land. both North and South, demand the
predominance of fee territory, and free la
bor principles in our national government.
They are not for moment willing 10 sub
nit 10 the new and monstrous dogma. that
there is no free soil out Of the free Sts'ee,
and that all our. mighty territories are Just
rs much slave soil as South Caroliua.--,
They have been educated by Jefferson and
the Fathers Of the Republic, the good and
great men who made our Constitution, TO
believe that slavery is local institution;
that it was the creation of local lsws. and
that beyond the limits of the Stales where
it was recognized, it had no exislence.--
They knew that Washington, and Jeffer-
son, and all the Presidents down TO Pierce,
have recognized the right of Congress,
not only to declare that it did not exist.
but that it should never be tolerated in
the territories. They have supposed that
our vast possessions were for the Inherit
ance of treemen, where free labor could
find home withou, encountering the DOM
ineerihg insolence of the slave owner, OF
the depraving influence OF slave labor
But our modern Democracy has reversed
all this, and has sci up new Standard
Slavery with them is national. 1t extends
everywhere, wi'biu the limits Of the iede-
ral Con st,tut on. Freedom has become
sectional. II exists only by virtue of To-
cal law. The influence of the general gov
ernment, as we have all seen in Kansas.
has been constantly, and openly ex .rted to
plant slavery, and to drive out and pxter-
minale free labor. No man Of ordinary
intelligence is ignorant of this fact. The
leading men of the party have now two dar-
ling sci" MS. which they are pressing upon
the country: the enao ment of slave code
for the Territories, by the general govern
ment. and the repeal of laws against the
African slave trade.
Rothot there propositions are the logical
and inevitable results Of the position which
that party has assumed by sustaining the
dnc.rines Of the bred Scott deci>ion.-
There is no escape from them. They are
as certain as fate, unless we ran bring the
freemrn of the nasion to total reputation
of the principles of that decision. a.. --s
