He Would not Swap the Union for
all the Eiggers.

Some of our Bell Everett friends have de-
MED that Gov Neill S. Brown, of Tennessee
ever said he would give up all the negroes in
the country before he would the Union. We
have the Official proceedings Of the Baltimore
Convention which nominated john Bell. pub
Iished in the "Union Guard" +" the Washington
organ of the Constitutional Union party In
that Baltimore Convention, Gov Brown made
speech, from which we extract from the
Union Guard. Said he;
am one of the men who say here in the
presence Of my brothers all from the North,
and before the world, that / would not swap
the Union of these States for all the niggers,
and all the manufacturers and all the railroads
in this country, and all the ships that swim
the ocean, Applause For you could lose
all this, vast as the amount of wealth would
be-yes, you could all see it float off into the
gulf of oblivion; but you could look forward to
see their places supplied from other sources Of
wealth. 1t is your Union that has made Xou
rich, has made your public credit, has given
you a large commercial marine, has given us
our share Of property in the South, or at least
protected it.
We can only repeat what we have said be-
fore: Great God, whittier are we drifting?
When Southern men, for partisan purposes,
utter such sentiments, we think it is high
time the true men in the South were taking
counsel together, in order that they may see
how best they can protect and defend that in
stitution upon the maintenance Of which de-
pends not only our equality, but our social
and political existence as people.

Mr.. Douglas Consistent.

1t is the boast of the friends ofMr Douglas
that he has been consistent-and that in all
the mutations Of parties lie has stood firm
For the editication of these admirers Of his
consistency, we invite their attention to the
following extract from his speech in 1850
as found on page LIS and 1,116 of Con-
gressional Globe, volume 81, part 2:
"But, sir do NOT hold the doctrine that
to exclude any species Of property by law from
a Territory, is violation of any right to
property. Do you not exclude banks from
most of the Territories? DO you not exclude
,rhisky from being introduced into large
portion Of the Territory of the United States
are properly recognized as such in the States
where they are tol 2rated And has any one
contended that the exclusion of gambling
tables, and the exclusion of ardent spirits was
a violation Of any constitutional privilege or
riqhti And yet it is the case in a large portion
of the territory Of the United States; but
there is no outcry against that because it is a
prohibition of a specific kind of property, and
not prohibition against any section of the
Union. Why, sir, our laws now prevent a
tavern-keeper from going into some of the
Territories of the United States, and taking q
bar with him, and using and selling spirits
there. . The law also prohibits certain other
descriptions Of business from being carried on
in the. Territories. / am NOT, therefore, pre.
pared TO say that UNDER THE CONSTITU.
TION ace hare NOT the po1oer to pass la,u,
EXCLUDING NEGRO SLAVES from t.,
Territories '''
It will be seen that tie late declaration o
his, that slavery is entitled to the same pro
lection as any other property is in exact ac
cordance with his views in 1850, when h
thought slaves, as well as other property
could be excluded from the territory unde
the Constitution.
