Is triumphant vindication of the administra-
tion Of President buchanan from the charges Of
fraud and corruption, and Of the principles and
policy advocated by the Democracy Of Kentucky
upon tile question Of slavery, which constituted
SO prominent an issue in the late exciting can
yass. The Democratic party endorsed fully the
doctrine OF the Dre1 Scott decision. In the
tanguuge Of that decision, they hold that the
right OF property in slaves is distinctly and ex-

is the power coupled with the duty Of guarding
aud protecting the owners in their rights. The
power to protect does not carry along with it
the correlatiye power to impair or destroy.

taken up pretty short by Aszofin's inaugural.

between the Magazine paper, "by Stephen A.
