ted States recognizes slavery.
10th. That the territories are the COM
mon property of the United States. and
that the Constitution guarantees the right
of the master to carry slaves, the same
as other chattels, into the territories, and
hold them there the same as other goods
and chattels, despite any Congressional
or territorial legislation whatever. I'm
der this decision, where is the Great Prin
eipIe of Douglas Popular Sovereignty /?
Were ever men so humbugged as the
Douglas Democrats! Yet it seems they
love error.
18th. That tho 9Th section of the Mis-
souri, Compromise act is contrary to tho
Constitution, land therefore imperative
and void"
Now you will see that there are no less
than eleven main points in this case, aud
that the Court was obliged to pass upon
them i'll this order, SO that it could finally
render the judgment that it did. But
the poor, discounted Comocrats, upon
examination find that the decision goes
a little too far, that the people have too
much love ofliberty to be enslaved by
such disgracefll, contemplate, corrupt,
partisan decision as this; and although
Buchanan, Douglas and Breckenridge, all
shout that it is the acme of perfection and
entreat, nay demand, that the people
shall not criticize it, but must unqualifi-
eddy and unhesitatingly obey it, these
poor demagogues are learning that t e
people will not only wipe out the disgrace
of this decision, but these knayes and
poor fools along with it.
am not surprised noa0 that these
cowardly Democrats undertake to jump
from under the effect of their pet decis-
ion, which was announced before deliv-
cry, by the President-the Cincinnati
Platform ;-and "cvery good citizen
conjured to obey it, which was got up
at the time that Dou.l rs effected tho re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise in 1854
ana for The especial purpose of carrying
slavery into all the territories, and under
which decision, Douglas declares, "sla-
very is as firmly established in Pennsyl-
vania to day rs in the State of Mississip-
pi." Ard yet those maniacs have the
brazcn effrontery to tell us in all apparent
sincerity that they care as much opposed
to slavery as the Republicans. Would
to God that they were in rs honorable
an occupation as 'peddling Helpers I'm
pending Crisis, at the South" But the
poor. deluded niger worshipers defend
and uphold the slave code in Texas, and
the murders that have been committed
to enforce it, and with this Texas Demo-
cratic code, the bred Scott decision.
their opposition to the Homestead Bill
the Tariff Bill, the corruption of the
present Administration the fugitive slave
law, the acquisition of Cuba. and many
other similar iniquities, too numerous to
mention, hanging on their backs, the
the guilty wretches will cry out,
1.-THE lights burn blue,
Our conscience hath a thousand several ton
gues,
And every tongue brings on several tale,
And every tale condemns us as the villains.
On the ides of November, they will
shrink in the depths of despair, and call
for the mountains to fall upon them, but
the Union cannot, will not be Dissolved.
Patriots, never falter, the day is break
