Now and Then.

At present the Anti-Lecompton party claims
that according to the Kansas Nebraska bill, and
under the Cincinnati Platform, Territorial
Legislature can exclude slavery from Territory
by positive enactment. A few years ago Mr.
Buchanan addressed letter to lot of New Eng
land ministers, in which he laid down the fol-
lowing propositions:
l. Slavery exists in the Territories under the
Constitution of the United States.
2. The Territorial Legislature cannot abolish
it, as that power can only be exercised by the
people of the Territories when they come to
form State Constitution.
3. These principles having been finally dec-
ded by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott
case, should be maintained in good faith by all
aw-abiding citizens.
At that time every Democrat in the land, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, endorsed those pro-
positions of Mr.. Buchanan. We remember dis
tinctly that Forney, of the Philadelphia Press
spoke of that letter as being patriotic and most
able and statesmanlike. Now, however, the
same Press, and all Anti Lecompton men preach
entirely different doctrine Were they right
then, or are they rightnow?
The Shasta courier., 1859-09-03
How Is 1t :

The Anti-Lecompton Democrats claim that
they constitute the true Democratic party O
California. But Jo McKibben, in his Sacra.
mento speech admitted that " he had never beer
strictly within the line of the party since 1882
This is an admission, of course, that he is not
within the line now 1t is likewise an admis.
sion that he cheated the Democracy several
years ago, when he sought and won the nomi-
nation for Congress at the hands of the Demo-
cratic State Convention. We are free to say
that this confession has greatly lowered Mr.. Nc
Kibben in our estimation politically speaking.
If he was not strictly within the line of the
party" when he asked the nomination for Con-
gress at the hands Of the party, he was acting
under false pretences-he was indulging in mis-
representation-he was holding out as truth that
which was false-he, in short, was endeavoring
to palm himself off for what he was uot, and
striving for the sake of office, to cheat the Dem
ocracy. He may think this was honorable con-
duct. We think just the contrary. He knows
we'll that the Democracy of this State would not
have sent him to Congress if he had, when ask
ing their votes, stated what he did at Sacramen-
to, that he had not been strictly within the
lines of the party since 1852" Therefore he
cheated the Democracy and now proclaims his
own shame.
