race, but were to be respected in even
the meanest of those who possess Gods
image. Only an apologst for slavery
would assert otherwise, and only ne
cessity for apologizing for connection
with slavery, has forced Northern Dem
ocrats to take any other position. We
have heard Democratic leaders in this
village many times repeat this Infamous
proposition, and we denounce them for
using Shareholders argument in order
to uphold slavery extension party.
If the color Of the skin alone is to de-
eide the question of these natural rights,
where will it lead us I? The unnumbe
millions of the Monaghan, the Indian,
and the African races would become the
lawful prey of the Caucasian. There are
grades of color in the latter race, and
the lighter might refuse to recognize the
darker as white men, and declare them
devoid of the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. Slaves and
their masters would change places, for
confessedly, in many instances, at the
South, the slave is whittier than his mas
ter. Mr.. HEDGES himself might become
the victim Of this outrageous distinction
of color, should fairer complexioned
man apply his argument. We say, then,
that the idea Of grading natural rights
by distinction Of color is both absurd
and infamous, and that to assert that
THOMAS JEFFERSON and his coadjutors in
tended to do so in the Declaration Of In
dependence, is to utter foul libel upon
them.

The Douglas Democratic Platform.

ET The Douglas Democracy, al
Charleston, it will be remembered, re.
endorsed the Cincinnati platform, but de
clared, as they did not know what thai
platform meant, and as one part said il
meant one thing and another part another
thing, they would leave it to the Supreme
Court to say what it did mean, and what
should hereafter be the party creed
This not being entirely satisfactory, {
Southern delegate, at Baltimore, moved
to add the following resolution to those
adopted at Charleston, which was unani
mously done:
Resolred, That it is in accordance with thu
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
of Territorial Governments, the measure of re
striction, whatever it may be- imposed by the
Federal Constitution on the power of the Terri.
toral Legislature over the subject of the do
nestle relat ions, as the same has been or shall
hereafter be finally determined by the Supreme
Court of the United States, should be respected
by all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch Of the general
government.
Now what does this mean I? II il is
not a covert endorsement Of the bred
Scott decision, what is it ? 1t speaks Of
decision that has been made, relative TO
the powers Of Territorial governments
over domestic questions, and pledges
their part of the Democracy to uphold
such decision. Now, in the 10Th vol
ume of Towards Reports, page 1876, il
is stated that among the six points dec-
ded in the bred Scott case, are the fol.
lowing
Sd. Every citizen has the right to take " it'll
hlm into the Territory any article OF property
which the Constitution recognizes as property
1th. The Constitution of the United States
recognizes slaves as property, aud pledges the
Federal Government to protect IL.
This is part of the official record Of
that decision, and under it, and under
the above resolution, we ask any Dem
ocrat if the doctrine that the people Of a
Territory have right to prohibit Slav-
cry, is not wholly, totally repudiated in
the Douglas Democratic platform ? II
certainly is, but the party has not the
honesty to say SO in terms which the
people can readily understand. We are
to have a Northern and Southern con
ssruction Of the platform again, and if it
were possible for Mr.. DOUGLAS to win,
Northern Democrats would fnd, as they
have since SO, how badly they would
be cheated.

re- The Douglas nominees and their
supporters seem TO be expecting spe'
cial interposilion Of Providence in their
behalf Both the candidates, in their
speeches, solemnly and piously indicate
their reliance on Divine assistance, while
Dom, and few more Of the graceless
followers Of tho graceless leader, seem
to be expecting and Giscoursing more OF
Providence than they do of the people
1t is difficult to tell what they base their
expectations upon, for there is 10 prece-
dent upon which they can rely. We
know of no instance in sacred history
where Providence permitted mercy to SO
override justice as TO save from destruc-
ton such a leader and such party,
when the bolt was suspended. Us it is
now.

Our NeishbOr on the Declaration of In
dependence.

EE We understand that Mr.. HEDGES,
in his enthusiastic, splurge to the two or
three dozen Douglasites who met to ratify
the nomination of the Lilliputian giant
repeated the Infamous pro slavery libel
upon the signers of the Dec laration of
Independence. that when they enunciated
the great abstract truth that all men are
entitled to life. liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness, they did not mean all men,
but simply all white men. We say that
this is libel upon the illustrious franz
ers of that instrument, because it charges
them with assuming to be lovers of man
kind when they had sympathies for only
n small portion Of the human family
because it charges that instead OF enun
eating a great declaration of human
rights, they merely declared for the priv
ileges Of a race-bccause it denies they
were actua,ed by love Of principle, but
asserts that they were prompted to action
only by regard for selfish privileges
because it is an attempt to dwarf the
proportions Of the struggle in which they
were engaged. to limit its effect, to des-
troy its moral force, TO lower it in the
eyes Of the world. Mr.. JEFFERSON got
up no Cincinnati platform. no ambigu-
onsly wofded declaration OF principles,
no document designed for two opposite
constructions. He declared that ALL
MEN are created equal, that they are en-
lowed by their Creator with the inalien-
able right to life. liberty, and the pur-
suit Of happiness. In the words "all
men," he INCLUDED the African as well
as the Anglo Saxon race. because he
meyer failed TO recognize negroes as men.

Can Douglas be Elected.

Ev We have yet to see the Demo
cratic journal which has the confidence
or the effrontery to pretend that Mr..
DOUGLAS can reach the Presidential
chair through the electoral college and
if the assumption should be made, it is
too absurd to gain any credence. 1t is
| true we find some, like the DUBUQUE
Herald, who are anxious to make it ap-
pear that DOUGLAS is the choice of the
rank and file Of the Democracy of the
South, but where is the evidence L? Is
any one credulous enough TO believe that
the whole Southern delegation in both
houses of Congress-men who are poll
ticians, and like all politicians trim their
sails to the popular breeze--is it likely
that these men have been thus continu-
ously disappearing their constituents?
Has any Democratic State Convention in
the South denounced them for their
course Not one. What was the re-
suit when the seceders from Charleston
went back to their constituents In v-
cry case they were endorsed. Tire bod
les which sent contesting delegates from
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia and Ark
ansas, were confessedly irregular and ir-
responsible, and of no responsibility in
point Of numbers. They did not repre-
sent the sentiment of the people and yet
even they were not satisfied without a
virtual endorsement Of bred Scottish.
But admit that DOUGLAS will divide the
vote in each Southern State with BREcK-
ISRrpGE. He yet can carry no State, but
may give several of them to BELL and
EVERETT. Admit that LINCOLN can car
nv only such States as went for FREMONT
This would throw the contest into the
House of Represen talives. There, only
the three highest candidates can be bal
loted for, and these would be LINCOLN.
BELL and BREckINRrDGE. Or supposing
Mr.. DOUGLAS should be one Of the three,
what then ? In the House, in such a
case, each State casts one vote, the ma
jority deciding for whom it shall be cast.
