"SOI!ND ON THE GoOSE,,s
We have profound respect for man who
boldly avows his principles who comes square
II up TO the mark and hews to the line. You
always know where to find such q person.
There is no double dealing about him He
fights you facc to face, and ncvc. resorts to
hypocridcal expcdients saying ono thing aud
meaning something else. Whether his opin-
ions are likely to receive the sanction Of the
majority or minority Of those about him, he
7aces the music md let's consequences take
care Of themselves. The editor Of the Chicago
HeTatd belongs to this class Of people, aud
while we dcspiso and a1hor his political code,
VIC admire his courage III ayowing and defend
ing it.
In view Of the proposal to establish third
Democratic paper in Chicago, the editor Of the
Herald defines its position Oh the great issue,
and asks the hackers Of the ncw organ what
more do they want than the pure Democracy
it breaches, 1t titus lays down the Democratic
platform as understood by the cxpoande.s Of
Democracy and believed hy the great mass Of
that party:
"The HrdM understands the doctrine Of the
democratic party, respecting slavery in the Ter
ritories, 10 be this: that neither to~yrtts nor
zhe ptoplf # t1t Territories rdn prohibit *2drffy
7A<'ssa; hut that the Constitution. rs interpreted
by the Supreme Court Of the United States,
guarantees IN the Shareholder the ,iyht to take
liz SURE into tie Territories dAd hold Afm there
az property, and pledges the Federal Govern
mcnt t. protect him in the peaceable possession
OF such property in any Territory Of the United
States; that when tile people Of Territory
form Constitution, preparatory to their admis-
sion ~ State, 1h<u, and not until then, can
they decide to prohibit slavery; and tl.ut when
they shall lave framed Constitution And a>k
10 be admitted Us u State, it their Constitution
be republican in foru1,' and if they have com
piled with the proper laws in other respects,
Congress must admit the new State, whether its
Constitution permit or prohibit slavery. The
Herald will nluiutain this doctrine until the
Charleston Convention, nnd, VIC doubt not, that
Conventions platform will justify its course, and
vurrant it in continuing in it thereafter"
The doctrines here laid down By the Herald
are strictly in accordance with the Cincinnati
platform, as interpreted and explained by the
Drcd scott decision. And beyond all doubt
the Charleston Convention will endorse and
avow them i'll their full length and breadth.
Ne question whether any delegate will be per
mitted to l4old a seat in that Convention WHO
cal faith.
All persons wllo call themselves Democrats
are hereby notified that unless they nre will
ing and ready to subscribe to this creed,
without equiyocation or mental 1escrva-
tion, they are no longer members Of
the great Democratic household, lut
alicus aud hcrctics, having no future part or
lot in the Mother Church. They are further
and hereby notified that, all such hercsies rs
popular Sovereignty" and such humbnes as
+'unfricndly Legislation" on the part Of Sqaattcrs
OIL tile territories, are denounced and repudl-
nted as 4Anti-Democratic by the Pope, Cardi-
mails, Bench Of Bishops and High Priests and
rulers Of the Democratic Church; and that all
persons calling themselves Democrats, and
protesting OF. preaching tue herc*cs and hum
bugs aforesaid, are schismatics and apostatcs
from tile true faith. None but those who swal-
low the Immaculate Conception, k,lowl. as the
Dred Scott decision, are recognized as Demo
Gratis or will receive tile right hand Of party
fellowship. Let I'LL Democrats take heed and
govern themselves accordingly.
