strange that Southern gentlemen should lbs~

that the sentiments of Helpers book were caisl

He denied, in response to aremark made by ;
MI. Curtis Of Iowa, that the Democratic partYa
was Pro Slavery party, on the other hapd, the
Anti Slavery party was aggressive, while the
Democrats stood on the defensive. What the
Republicans mean by the protection of thsg.
rights of all the States he understood TO mean

of their platform that Congress is the sovereign
over the question Of slavery in the Territories,
and if they had legislative control Of the Gov
ernment would they not consider it competent
10 exclude slavery from the Territories by act
OF Congress. Under that claim they would al
so abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia.
Georgia ard Mississippi, in their resolves de-
clare that they would consider the destruction
of their constitutional rights and would resist
even to dissolution o! the Union.
Tie called on the southern Opposition in view
Of these facts to co operate with the Democra-
cy, the only National party, and present an un-
broken opposition TO the enemies Of the South.
Anything calculated to injure one section in
jures the whole country. He would see that
no sentiment goes out calculated to mslead and
deceive the public mind at the South .g5.--
