Daniel Come - J0A0nene.
editor Of the Council Biuffs Bugle take
-, ,..k for asserting that the efforts OF tn
n.mosr.,ic party have for long time be.'
"a q, the extension Of the area Of slavery
"a 70 ccu6ne the area Of freedom, and sccues
:. of deliberately penniDg . falsehood. W
IN consider the source and give the fact
~, the Bugle states just ~ much consider
!. though the editor had written courts.
.,.l, no, to say candidly.
~. plea which the editor puts in by way O
-, 70 our charge that the extension Of sla
!. the only distinctive principle Of the
n.roc,.,ie party is curious one. and one, ve
.,.,. 10 say, entirely new with him. Il ID
SINCE the Administration Of Washington
o.. .,es and but seven Slave Statee have
.Aoilted into the Union-the Democratic
a...s its existence from the close OF
T..l;,v,ou,s Administration and claims the
.,.di, Of having brought oil thsse States into
-. family. and there being . majority Of three
!, favor Of freedom, therefore the Democratic
,,,,, !. the party Of freedom!
And then our very astute friend Babbet
,,o,e. die Republican party to be the party Of
.,.,s,v bv s.ijug that Republican members Of
coo,ress voted sgsins. the admission Of Minne-
~. md Oregon. To bis pind this is entirely
cs., and perfectly conclusive.
A.Mr r desires 10 know what reasons We
h,r. If any, ior asserting that the Democratic
n.a, i sedded TO the extension of slavery and
The are. Of si.rs Iabor, and equally anxious 10
/ c;reumscnbe the area Of freedom and of free
,,bor. We shall state few for his benefit only,
beiesihg that the public mind is fully made up
in regard to il. and desires to hear nothing
| more.
The Democratic party has never been anxious |
TO acquire territory except in southerly direc.
tion contiguous to the slave States, and certain
TO breome Slave territory. II has acquired |
| forda Louisiana, Texas, California and Ar. |
sans and would If it could, have planted slA-
very on every acre. |
ltrspc~lsd the compromises in order to plant |
fasery IN Kansas, North Of 80 Q 3O' and then
satred premium to that Territory in large
| pho lands and an admission into the Union |
.td her then population, If she would come in
"a Slave State, or exclusion from the Union
uaui her population was loo. 900 if she persist
ii in presenting herself with free Ceusti,u-
ton.
Tie Democratic party, through the admins
,raton, has always been ready anxious and ex-
ceedngy prompt in using all the powers OF the
Government in enforcing the fugitive slave law,
returning slaves TO their masters aud Furnishing
sl xLo interfere; while it has allowed those en-.
S,ssd IL opening the African slave trade to
escape Scott free.
The Democratic party is now exceedingly
anxious 10 steal Cuba, Central America and the
balance Of Mexico in order to make more Slave
States.
The Democratic party has, through the Su-
preme Court, opened all the territories to Sla
very. in violation Of on, Constitution, and OF the
'pirt Of our free institutions making slavery
TIE rule and freedom the exception. Wherever
oar donanion extends and our fag floats, ac- q
cordng TO the Dsed Scott decision the negro is
property uL,ess made free by the laws of SOW. Z
erign State.
On the other hand the Democratic party has
Tot only not desired to extend our dominion
northwHd. but it has sacrificed our rights by
giving away one hail of Oregon TO England,
aud would doubtless now be very willing to give
away the oiher halt if it could b. done without Y
bringing upon itself the indignation of the 1
people, jo
ihe DEMOCRATIC party is now divided upon IL
The prcDfiety Of complying with the last South
e'l demand, that OF Slave Code for the terri
tore. to give emphasis TO the Dred Scott deci-
son.
iae,e are a lew Of the reasons which lead us C
to oeheye tnat the Democratic party is q part, h
Of but one idea, anu that idea is y negro slave. j
