The South molds the policy of the Dem
ocratic party, and it is against that policy
for the West to expand; they only desire
Slavery Extension, and for this policy they
oppose the West and her interests. As
long as the Democracy lives you get mo-
thing, unless from God himself, who plant
ed the gold at Pixies Peak, which has been
so opportunely discovered, to give a new
State and a central route to the Pacific,
for the defeat of that party.
3 You must look elsewhere than the Dem
ocratic party for aid. Our interests as a
State are opposed to the South in this
matter. Missouri lies north of the Slave
States; she is surrounded by the Free
States, with which her interests are iden-
teal. fHisses and cheers. Cries of "Go

We must look, in our national concerns,

you l should speak freely of Slavery-it is
the question of the day, or you'd not see
gentlemen from this section vote as they
do. As understand it, the Dred Scott
decision is the nd-peint of Democracy
on Slavery. Calhoun first promulgated
the doctrine that the Constitution, per Sc
carried Slavery into the Territories. You
know what his Democracy was in the days
of Jackson-theu no prominent statesman

calhoun was right.n] think not. He
vas opposed to the doctrines of Jefferson.
If you refuse Jefferson and take Calhoun,
do so boldly, and don't s'steal the livery of
Heaven to serve the devil in." At the re-
quest of Monroe, Calhoun, when in his
Cabinet, signed a writing asserting to the
Missouri Compromise, and admitting its
constitutionality. 1t was an afterthought
of Calhoun's as of the Democratic party,
that the Constitution carries Slavery into
the Territories. l but ask the protesting
Democracy to deny the name they disgrace.
From the days of Washington to Pierce
the Territories were held to be under the
control of Congress. Now, one slavehold
er with his negro can go into a Territory
and frame laws of all that follow-this is
Squatter Sovereignty.
True. Douglas says the people of Terri
tory may decide whether Slavery shall ex-
ist there, but he admits the constitutional
ity of the Dred Scott decision, which car
ries Slavery into the territories by the Con-
siitution, thus knocking Squatter Sover-
eighty in the head. In this way Douglas
rides both sides of the fence. hold with
the fathers of the country, that the Repub-
Lean party is right. [Appiause and hiss

no fault with those who differ from me !,
but how can any one call himself Jeffer-
son or jackson Democrat, and receive into
fellowship Toombs and such men, who al
ways abused Jackson! The sentiments
uttered by Jefferson, Jackson and Others
are now called abolition, and for which any

party. Half of your delegation, half of
the Legislature and of the Democratic del

have said Congress ought to keep Ter
ritories for white men, and not for slave
holders and their negroes; and this is call
ed Abolitionism. Thank God have lived
long enough not to care for names. This
struggle going on is the same as that
fought under Jackson--the combination of
capital against labor; the banks against
Old Hickory. A part of the shareholders
in the United States Bank wanted the Uni
ted States deposites, often fifteen millions,
to loan; for this they proposed to regulate
the exchanges, and make uniform curren-
cency. Shareholders are another lot of
capitalist, who wish to seize the Territories
for themselves and negroes, and throw out
the poor white men. The plea is plausible
similar to the bank plea. But the Ter
ntories should be kept for the general good,
and not for q few shareholders. l go for
keeping these Territories for free white men
for the good of our State; to build up
rich States west of US. Whoever opposes
this is against the good Of Missouri. Ap.
