The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1859-12-30

in Kansas, Il has been repudiated, and II
| understand the position which the south
occupy to-day, Il ia that they viii have
nothing 40 do with this ching Of squattcr
sovereignty. Thoy wash their hands Of T.
H.
Now here is the hrst, the second, the
third, the fourth and the ffth compromise
which the North have entered into with
the South upon this all-absorbing SUBJECT
OF slavery; aud tlsA North charge upon
the South that IN. every single instance
% Compromise they have violated them
after having received tho benefit, Or tried
70 receive the benefit arising from tioir
side OF the bargain. Aud these charges
have to be answered, not here merely,
but at other places. They will have ~ -
be answered next year, and assume now
4 the position that the South have got TO
wash their hands Of these things, OF they
have got to give % he Fcderal oliicoa.--
IlApplause and cries Of "0uUdV upon the
Republican side. Now the South have
rights guaranteed under the Constitution;
/ but tho Soath have not All the riahts--
/ Tho North have few. individually, I
would not withhold from the S0nth, or
| from any portion OF the South, the least,
as would not the greatest right, guar
nntcod so her either BY fundamental law
or statute lwoud treat her as wodld
/ treat younger sister; ] would give her
more than she was entitled 70, rathcrthau
less. becnuso she Is tho weaker party 4
would bestow bOunties even upon hof;
bu, WHEN she comes here or anywhcrU
else and demands, as dght, what was
not her right, and seeks 20 wrest from
the North what she 10 not entitled 70,
would deny her. That Is nay position,
and those are my principles utthe present
time; for II understand the politics Of
the conntry nt The North; IL have not
been blinded for the last fotF ycaYs, there
Nrs no politics In the United States now
but "nigger" The whole politics OF ths
country are reinvolyed In the negro question.
Shall slavery travel into the Territories
OF shall Il notl that is tho question.--
There IL no other question, and there
will be no other question in the p7esidon-
| tial contest Of 1860, aud II am coustrain-
ed to choose between the party which in-
sists that slavery shall travel evefywAsrs
against right, and that party which says
Il shall not 20 anywhere, even when a Il
right, cannot help t. That Is al. !
stand upon the principle Of the Kansas
Nebraska bill. / believe Il Il sGfhciUnt
for us Il Is anyhow tho bond between
tho North und the South, aud will try
Il little further, aud am with the mon
who are for that principle. / know heW
il will result exactly where the Republi-
cans desire Il should eud--it will end IN
the exclusion Of slavery from ell the Ter
lritories of the United States. If there "a
any man who is committed % the prfnci
piles of the Kansas-Nebrska bill, who doos
not answer that question In that way
when Il Is propounded 10 him, all have TO
sdy is that he is either willlully blind or
slghty dishonest.
Sir, ! have mover uttered a political
: sentiment in my life, that can remem-
Der, that would not utter here in the
hearing Of tfe South-nst one. I have

} 20 the principles Of the Democratic party;
, and have always opposed that pvrtY
: when believed It TO be wrong and IN
{ tend 10 do so forever. There shall not BE-
: any Misunderstanding between any gens
! Itleman upon the Democratic side Of the
HousS and myself feel perfectly GER
tain that the party has been bankruptcd
by this Administration Of James BuchEn-
an. / know Il. ! know; for whenever
the Democratic party can no lOnge= con-
troll northern masses, then that party is
bankrupt; and that il the condition Of that
party to-day. There is not a northern
State, not one, as there Is scarcely q
northern county, that can be carried upon
. the doctrine upon which Mr.. Buchanan
this day bases the Administration.

Charleston; and, IL il will not put itself
right, / want Il to put itselfplainly wrong.

North, or Of the South, TO be deceived BY
any platform which can be interpreted in
