AN IMPORTANT DEBATE.-There was
a debate in the L. S. Senate one day last
session, among the so-called Democratic
Senators, which showed that that party
is demoralized and disorganized. The de-
bate arose on an amendment to an appro-
priation bill, offered by Mr.. Hale, provi-
ding for striking out the English restric-
ton against the admission of Kansas.
Messrs. Toombs, Davis, Mason, Gwin and
other leading Southern Democratic Sena.
tors spoke, denouuciug popular sovereignty,
and insisting that the Democratic policy
hereafter must be to legisla,e in accord
ance with the Dred Scott decision of the
Supreme Court, and pass an act in Con-
gress establishing and protecting Slavery
in the territories, whether the residents of
the territories desire slavery or not. This
astounding position brought Douglas, Pugh
and Bigler to the floor, who asserted that
such policy would totally destroy the
party in the North. To which the South
ern Senators responded, let the consequen.
ces be what they may, the Democratic
party, and the nominee of the Charleston
Convention, must make up their minds to
stand upon that platform. Our Demo-
cratic friends are, by this time, we think,
becoming satisfied that the remark made
by one of their Oldest and ablest men
who left them on account Of the Slavery
despotism-we mean Francis P. Blair,
was correct, when be said, that every con-
cession to the Slave power invited and
was followed BY further aggression. lfit
has not yet been settled that salt-petre
will explode, i. is no longer a question
about the explosion Of this Democracy. l
