Tie mouth-piece ol Nr. Douglas is filed

and its master WILL il possible, excel their
rivals in inEamy, in order that he may secure

Tie Democracy, bclvipg their history and
and their name, have become thoroughly conf
m;tted to tic protection and the extension ci
slavery. There is, perhaps, one other pri,l-
ci1le in their crecd-"thc cohesive power
Of the public plumber" but each is involved

turn hopefully from the politicians to thcpeo-
pic Of the country. They have the power to
correct all the abuse, which have crept into
high places, and to cleanse all beneath them,
and VIC haro entire confidence that they mean
to use the great aud growing Republi--
can party to do it. True, every man in the
employ Of tho government from President
to Postmaster, from iycricd coachman
to the lowest lacquey, must contribute
largely to carry the election. yet tic PATRIOTISM
Of the people il stronger than money and
h:ial power combined The ballot bn1 Of
1850 will drive into hopeless obscuri,y those
who l.ave SO basely betrayed the principles Of
tue Declaration Of Independence, and changed
tho entire public policy Of tho country from
tue promotion Of freedom to the protection and
the extension Of Slavery. In this warfare Of
the people upon the corrupt hireiings Of the
government, the independent press Of
tho country mist bear mort important
and efficient part. Its ceaseless vigilance and
tireless energy will cooperate with the people
in their Efforts to bring back the government
to the principles and the policy on which it
was founded. Tolerate slavery, if it must be
so. protect it where it exists hut consecrate
every other foot Of the American continent to
freedom. Let the territories become the homes
Of poor free white mcu, not the property Of
purse-proud oligarchists with hordes Of slaves
