Doue his letter of acceptance ndorses ts resolution

Hare Is clear and unnistakable declaration that every right
by the Constitution must be protected oy law where
egaon necessary to Its enjoyment H. therefore the gu
Court of the United States de ded shall decide
that the people Of South have right under the Constitution
10 20 to the Territories and carry with them that which prop

Las declares that such lesstn be had Whatever opdn

with the Baltimore resolutions take the broad aud comprr
hesye ground that whenever this Judicial question shan Do

IN GOOD faith and that, he President of the Ued
State, be would use ali the necessary power Of his Office to
enforce and carry therefore, bound to conclude
that whatever differences Of opinion exit between North
ern and Southern Democrats the Abstract question: practically
their action would be the same"
Such is the eround-the only ground--ol
which even q show of contrasting any Slave State
is or can be made by the supporters OF Mr. Doug
lac. Let them take bo dy the ground which they
have done a, the Nor'b, and the vote for Douglas
in the South will fall below that for Lincoln. They
are saved from their own reproach OF - Section
alism only by holding two radically different
creeds-one for the North the other for the South.
In the impossible event of their triumph they
would be forced to disavow their Northern creed
altogether, as Mr.. Noel shows that Judge Douglas
has already virtually done. .......--
Again we ask honest men Of all parties to judge
with what truth and fairness Mr.. Douglas is
still commended to support as champion OF
Popular Sovereignty"
