Congress has at last adjourned

Is THE DEMOCRATIC Party Pro,
SLAvERrl--This question is easily
answorcd. Our Democratic Prcsi-
dent, who may certainly be referred
to as good authority for one division
Of their party, congratulates himself
and the country in his messages,
letters, &c, on the triumph OF the
doctrine that slavery is the normal
condition OF the territories. He
claims it as the crowning glory OF
his life, that during his administra-
ton, this curse OF civilization has
been carried beyond it's ancient lin
Ito, and firmly established on soil
consccratrd to freedom.
Stephen A. Douglas, who is to
sweep the North next Fall, boas,ed
in the Senate three months ago, tha,
he had done more for the extension
Of slavery into free territory, than
any other man living. These are
facts which no Democratic journal
dare de3y.

An Unimpeachable Record.

1t is now nearly three months
since the nomination of Abraham
Lincoln as the Republican candidate
tor Presidency. During that time
his political adversaries have hunted
in vain throughout his Congressional
and public record and his published
speeches orpoints OF attack. These
have stood the test OF the severest
scrutiny. There is nothing in the
past career of Mr.. Lincoln that is
not in perfect accordance with his
present political opinions. There
arc no crooked turns, no evasions,
no duplicity in his past life, official
or private. All is plain, manly,
straightforward and consistent; aud
consequently his opponents finding
nothing in the facts to justify an at
tack, have resorted to misrepresenta ,
ton.
We are sorry to observe that no less
parsonage than Gen. Lane, the Vice
Presidential candidate on the Breck-
inridge ticket. has lent himself to q
deception which has been frequently
exposed. In his speech at Phladpl-
phia he reiterated the exploded story
that during the Mexican War. Lin.
coin voted against the bill providing
supplies for the army. The records
o' Congress show the falsity OF this
charge, and Mr., Douglas in the great
Illinois debate between himself and
Mr.. Lincoln, candidly admitted that
it was without foundation. On
page 236 Of the volume Of debates.
VIC find the following rc'uta'iou o, the

were arrested lately and held to an
examination before Justice uf the
Peace in that place, for the purpose
OF establishing their supposed con.

Perhaps the severest shock the
Breckenridge party has yet irct with
was the public endorsement of their
Platform and candidates by James
Buchanan, in a recent speech at a

stand his bllghting friendship. Only
four years ago, he was held up to the
people OF the United States by the
Democratic patty, az the purest
patriot at1d &isest statesman OF mod.
ern times. Now, his very name is
cnrse to any party whose cause he
may espouse. This being the case,
the question naturally arises, what
has produced so great change in
30 short time? Was James l}u-
chauan, during all his previous pub
