ADMISSION or OREGON.

The democratic papers are loud in their
exultation over the admission of Oregon
II has come in as a democratic state, hence
the jubiation. It presented a constitution
which embodies the bred Scott decision,
and makes practical the abominable theory
Of that decision, viz, "lhat black mon have
no rights that white men are bound to re-
spect." For the first time in any written
constitution claiming to respect and main
tain human rights, has this accursed doc
trine found expression. We have no par.
ticular regard for black men, but VIC have
a high estimate Of man as man whether
white or black; and we regard this assault
upon the rights of man with adherence.
But Oregon could never have been admitted
without this vile spot. But this denial Of
human rights will prove plague spot
which if not removed will fill the bones Of
the new state with rottenness. Ifany class
of men can be denied their rights, then dny
other class may share the same fate when
a tyrannical majority, or even minority
with power to back them, so will it. But
as we said, without this foul spot Oregon
could have obtained no admission. Demo
cracy scents the plague spot afar and hugs
the corruption to its breast. This denial Of
all civil rights to one whole class of men,
obtained the votes of the Shareholders and
their friends, the northern doughfaees. A
few of the representatives calling themselves
republicans, had not nerve enough to stand
up against this vile wrong. This then is
the fashion of modern democracy. 1t ad-
mits Oregon without the $4,000 inhabitants
because it comes with constitution which
denies all rights to men with tawny skin.
1t shuts out and keeps out Kansas because
it comes with a constitution which though
not republican in the fullest sense, yet is
opposed to slavery. To this complexion
has democracy come at last.

We find the following, under date Of The
Sth, in the Lawrence correspondence Of the
Leavenworth Times. ~ Y. Post
"Council bill to abolish and prohibit sla-
very was Then taken up, with only two
hours to receive the Governors signature OF
compel him to return il. An exciting scene
occurred None like it has occurred this
session The friends Of tho House bill ad-
mitted that Council bill was not what they
wanted in all respects, but that Dr. Root
should not DO allowed TO carry their bill in
his pocket for weeks as the confidential agent
Of The Governor, for the purpose of its do
feat. The most persistent efforts were
made to prevent final action by a few mem
bers; but the matter was pressed through
and final vote was taken at p. M, when,
by large majority, slavery was forever abol-
ishcd apd forever prohibited in the territory
of Kansas. OBSERVER
And yet, Slavery is not abolishedl We
see by the Tribune correspondence, Law
renee Feb. 18th, that the bill which passed
by so large a majority was sent to the
Governor for his signature. This be it un-
derstood, was but few hours before the
Legislature was to adjourn. DR.. Root, the
delegate from Wyandot was to deliver the
bill to the Governor two delegates were al
so sent with him to see the bill placed in
the hands of Governor Medary. They
called on tho Governor, the delegates saw
DR.. Root present the bill and they turned
away. But for the sequel. The next day
it was found that DR.. Root still had the
bill-and when questioned on the matter,
be said Cor. Nsdary refused to accept ii.
Thus by the treason of DR., Root the bill
failed to become law. For if Gov. Media
ry had vetoed it, it would have been re-
passed by an overwhelming majority over
the Governors veto. The writer con
eludos his letter by saving, "If there is to
be a groan over the failure of bill by the
Kansas Legislature aboiishing Slavery; lot it
be because Federal satrap is sent here to
mancuver by mean trickery to defeat the
popular will" The treason of such men as
Root pretending to act with the people on
the side of freedom and free labor is what
has kept the heel of tyrants on the neck Of
Kansas so long. The right will yet tri-
umph! and the indignation of a long out
ragged people will then sweep all such trait
ors into oblivion.

MORE DEMOCRACY!

Mr.. Buchanan has just sent in message
to congress in which he asks for power to
make war on the Central and South Amer
ican Republics at his pleasure. What next
With thirty millions in his pocket, and the
power to make war ad HJitum what more
willie have Weare really anxious to know.
We earnestly hope there is something more
he can ask for towards turning this govern
ment into thorough despotism, but are at
a loss to know what it is. He might ask
for power to imprison and hang without
trial like Bomba of Naples, and if the pow
er could be enforced upon the men who are
backing him up in these mad schemes we
would go for it heartily. But what say the
people TO these developments of modern
democracyl Let him that would know
wait little, and he will hear such thunder
as will make the knees of this Belshazzar
and bis courtiers knock together with fright.

Real Backbone Taik in Congress.

Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois, was reelected
to Congress last fall in his district by a
large majority, and no marvel. He is one
of the able men of the House, as we'll as
among the most Independent and fearless.
He talks right out in the presence and to
the face of the would be masters, as the
reader of the following verbatim report Of
a recent discussion, taken from the Con
gressional Globe, will be ready to certify.
Mr.. Loyejoy.-I move to amend the
clause by striking out the words, "and for
the safe keeping of prisoners" I under
stand that that means for the safe keeping
of fugitive slaves.
Mr., John Cochranc .-Oh, no; there are
none in Nov York,
Nj. Loveioy.-This being my understand
ing | move to strike out these words. l
will not dwell now on the mora! considera-
tions pertinent to this matter. | do not be-
lieye that the constitution confcrs on this
House the power of taxing me and taxing
my constituents to feed and clotho and keep
these fugitive slave till their trial comes on.
If there is anything in the constitution
about it, it is that they are simply allowed
to be taken aud carried back. And, sir, it
is thing so utterly odioas to the people
Of the free states, so utterly degrading and
so abhorreut to the feelings Of humanity,
north and south, chat 60 for adhering to
the letter Of the bond, giving nothing more
than the pound of flesh. That is all we
can give; and we give that reluctantly. IT,
therefore, do not inisapprehend the mean
ing of this clause, | trust that it will be
stricken out.
Mr.. Singleton-The gentleman talks
about giving "the pound of flesh" would
be very happy indeed, if the gentleman
would return the negro whom he helped to
steal away from one of my constituents.
Mr. Loveioy.--l thank the gentlemen for
calling the attention Of the committee 10
that matter. never stole away any of the
gentleman's negroes-he never rightfully
owned a negro Every human being that
God made belongs to himself against the
universe. And, sir, if this committee wish
to know--as my attention has been several
times called to this, and as scurrious letters
have been read here-whether help fugi-
tive slaves, | march right up to the confes-
lsioual and tell them that do.
There is no human being, black or white,
that comes to my door and asks for food
whom hungry, or shelter when houseless, buI
reeeivesit; and if the invisible spirit Of sla-
very expects to cross my threshhold and for
bid ine 10 feed the hungry or shelter the
houseless, / bid that demon defaiice in the
name Of my God.
Mr.. Singleton.--I would ike the gentle
man to define what he calls "stoaling7 i
that be not stealingl
Mr.. Lovejoy.--Stealing is to take a mar
and keep him slave. sHe that stealetf
a man and selleth him, or if he be found Il
bis hands, he shall surely be put to death
