Ii the South is tired Of this discrimination against
slave property, which has existed since the Govern

the South should propose abandon also the privileges
that such property enjoys. Surely rs only lar thAs

Mr. Bates doss not therefore, regard the nonadrnis-
sion OF Slavery into the Territories OF the Union as
establishing distinction between property; but simply
as maintaining distinction aready estabshed, will

InasInuch the entire Democratic party OF the Free
States decidedly opposed even the Republican
party the extension of Slavery territory previ-

themselves whether honor or advantage Is gained
by asking what cannot be had and submitting 10 the

II the National Democracy offer more TO the South,
we know they offer what they cannot give, ana 90 NOT
mean 10 try 70 give The history of Kansas IL too re-
cent and too instructive, in which we the most
violent Pro-Slavery Democrats, as they proieesed
themselves, after getting men ana money rom
the South by hundreds and by thousands, to ave
Kansas to the South, suddenly became Free Demo
Gratis when they found success doubtful under the
Pro-Slayery banner, and sought office "a Free Demo-
cras unblushngly declaring that Slavery never had
been an issue in Kansns The principle OF the kansas-
Nebraska BILL in the shape Of Squatter Sovereignty,
has rendered the introduction of Slavery INTO Ierro-
res impossible and the passage OF that OIL Is tne work
-. NJ. Mr. ma holds
as a prtzciple that which the Democracy have estab-
lished as fact. The question of Slavery Extension
is no longer before the people 1t is discussed sow only
as an abstraction.
II Mr. Bates does not believe Slavery 70 be wiee
and useful insttutionf he is opposed 10 its extension
into Territories already free-he nevertheless Just az
firmly adheres TO the rights of property in slaves m all
the States where Slavery exists and will go 1nst as
far 10 protect the rights Of States in that species OF
property long those States choose TO keep 1t, as
any man living.
TAvoRs rnr pRrYcIrIEs or rHE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
Mr.. Bates believes in the unqualified right OK the
owner 10 recover his slaves ii they escape TO Free
State and II President, he would execute the tngi-
tive Slave Law if the army and navy OF The iovern-
/ ment were equal 10 the task. And II the Fugitive
| Slave Law should be repealed, should be found
! inadequate 20 the servce of returning absconding
slaves to their masters, Mr. Bates would earnestly
recommend TO Congress to pass some law ina, womb
more certainly and aeceptabiy, carry out the con
stituona guarantees of the rights of Southern slave
holders He would consider the Union broken com
pact these plain guarantees were DENIED by ths 1e-
iberate and perseyerng action Of any part oil the
Confederacy.
If Congress clearly representing the viii Of the
country, should pass laws legalizing and protecting
slave property in Territories previously Free Mr. Bates
would execute those laws promptly as any other
laws Of the land. II Territory should organize into
State, with sufficient population 70 justify its all
