for admission to an Editors 'valuable

type with favors Of this sort, from almost
every quarter, on almost every imaginable
subject We Ike to receive them, and yet

Republicans, unless the latter throw down
their arms and march into the South
American camp as servile subjects. The
Douglas doctrine that even Democracy
can not protect Slavery in the Territories
if their local Legislatures abolish it, Mr.
Marshall declares to be as heterodox as
the ordnance of 81 by which Congress

Of the Ohio-a doctrine which was last
applied (by rolk) to keep Slavery out Of
