EDWARD EVERETT'S CONFESSION OF FAITH
SHORTER CATECHISM.


Responses of Everett to questions asked hir
by Hon. Nathaniel Borden:
l BELIEVE that Congress has, by the Constitu
tuition, power to abolish slavery and the slav
trade in the District of Columbia, and that Their
is no legal or moral restraint on the exercise o
such power.
BELIEVE that Congress ought to take meas
ures to effect the abolition Of slavery in the Dis
trct Of Columbia.
BELIEVE that the .:rights of humanity, the
claims of justice, and the common good alike,
demand the suppression, by Congress, of the
slave trade carried on in and through the District
Of Columbia.
BELIEVE that Congress has, by the Consttu-
ton, power to abolish slavery in the Territories
of the United States
BELIEVE that no new State should hereafter
be admitted into the Union whose Constitution
shall permit the existence of domestic slavery
therein.
BELIEVE that Congress has, by the Constitu-
lion, power to abolish the traffic of slaves between
the different States of the Union.
BELIEVE that the exercise of this power
is demanded by the principles of humanity and
justice.
The above confessions were made in 1859, but
they have not been disavowed or racanted by Mr..
Everett at any time from the day they were utter
ed Down to this good hour
A Bell and Everett man in Alabama. wrote to
Mr. Everett the other day, ssking for an explana-
ton of these resolves but the honorable gentle
man, instead of replying like man and saying
frankly and honestly whether he still entertained
the above sentiments or not handed the letter of
enquiry over to a Mr., LeIerett Satonstall,
(Ph9bus! what a name, and who is he y who
replies that Mr.. Everett supported the compro-
mise measures of 1850, and that hey were :" re-
garded as a fair and practicable basis of united
political action between the two great sections of
the country We submit to all men of sense
and fair dealing, if this is not the most pulling,
puerile; contemplate dodging and begging of
plain, simple question, that ever was fesorted to
by any leading man Of any party. This evasige
gubterfuge of the Chevaier Saltonstal will not
avail Mr. Everett. The people have right to
know, and they will know, if he has recantcd
these damnable heresies. He must answer fairly
and unequi7ocay or be condemned and if
he answers not be is condemned already His
sullen Silence will be confirmation as strong as
proofs Of holy writ of his consistent and per.
sstent rottenness on the great question Of States
and Southern rights. We repeat he must an
swer, or be damned Do you still hold to your
ancient faith on the power of Congress over
slavery in the States and Territories? Speak or

are almost as good Union men as tile Bell

best joke of the season is a united effort now

which Breckenridge is cognizant; and a

THE MEMPHIS APPEAL EMASCULATED.
In its issue of the 18th inst, the Memphis
Appeal contains the vaclictory of Leonidas
Trousdale, its principal editor and eading writer
severng his connection with that paper Mr.
grousdle, in a fey words, gives his reasons as
follows:
" 10 wit hdrawing from the post which have
held, it is due to myself as well as to my re
spected colleagues, to announce that have not
been responsible for the conduct and policy of the
appeal for several weeks past. While my col
Leagues, who now control the policy Of the paper,
yield their support to Judge Douglas, who has
ever been their fayorite, I feel it incumbent on
me to raise hearty and decided voice in favor of
Keniucky's gifted young statesman, John G..
Breckenridge, who, it is well known to many
have heretofore designated as my first choice MS
the nominee Of the Democratic party for the
Presidency. 1t is my purpose soon to place my
self in another field whore | shall have occasion
more fully to explain my sentiments"
IN losing Mr. Trou.daIe from its editorial corps,
the Appeal newspaper has lost largely more than
half its respectabiHty, influence, backbone and
brains. We have constantly lamented its defec.
ton and folly in giving in its adhesion to the
desperate fortunes of Douglas, partly because
Of its ancient fame and influence of the pure
Democracy but chiefly because of the damage it
was calculated TO do the cause of the Constitu-
tional, States rights party of the nation.
The last of the reasons for our regrets is re-
moved. The cd Appeal is now emasculatcd, and
as impotent to DO harm to our party as good to
ITS own.
We welcome the able, gallant and accomplished
Trousdale to the new field of bis labor, where he
ia free and unfettered to speak and write in de-
fence of his country's cause, his eountry's and
his own honor.

REcKLEssNEss OF THE v1cksBtkG wHlG

RECKLESSNESS OF THE VICkSBURG WHIG.
Some weeks ago We noticed in the Wing an
article purporting to have been taken from the
Charleston Mercury, which contained severe and
unjust reflections upon our ticket, and the man
ner Of its nomination.
We knew the whole thing to be a fabrication at
the time, and fully expected that the Wing would
maze the proper acknowledgements when it
should COME to correct knowledge ofthe facts of
the case. Since its first appearance in the Wing,
this extract has been republished by it once or
twice, and its authenticity stubbornly insisted on
We, therefore, take this occasion to inform the
Wing that the extract alluded to never appeared in
the Mercury, and has been emphatically disavowed
by it. Here is the extract, which the Wing is
so fond Of parading with typographical display.
Speaking of the Breckenridge and Lane ticket
the extract goes on to say:
1t is a ticket of mere faction that has split off
from the Democratic party. and so far as appears
from the record is pithout the prestige and credit of
nationality. Gentlemen from several Northern
States participated in the action of the Conven
ton, but there was not one we apprehend who
went there duly accredited by tie people at home
1t remains to be seen whether or not the popular
sentiment at the North will redeem the ticket
from the sectional character with which it is
ushered to the country. UnsappOrtedin tie North
is Obliged 10 DO harm By dividing the anti Repubi
can strength, and thereby rendering certain Tie elec
tioa Of Lincoln. 1t cannot be elected even should
it carry every Southern State, which is not to be
presumed; for, while the Democratic party will
be divided with Douglas, THE WINGS HAVE A
TICKET In THE FIELD FULLY EQUAL TO 1T
IN DEVOTION TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS OF THE SOUTH, AND IMMEASUR-
ABLY ITS SUPERIOR IN POINT OF ABILITY,
EXPERIENCE AND PUB.
Lie SERVICE.
Now read what the Mercury says about this
thrilling paragraph, from which the Wing derives
such consolation and delight. In its issue, as
long ago as Of the 18th of this month, tho Mer-
curry says:
Below our readers will find an article from
The Selma Sentinel-Alabama--i which the SEN
inel published what it is pleased to represent as
an extract from the Charleston Mercury We are
sorry to give "cOld comfort" to the Sentinel by

HON. B. F. HALLETT ON TIE CINCINNATI
PLATFORM

HON. B. F. HALLETT ON TIE CINCINNATI
PLATFORM.
At the grand sercnade to Breckenridge and
Lane, the nominees of the Democratic Natonal
Convention, at Washington, among other good
things, Mr.. Halett said; =
And now permit me to point out to you
the line of division which clearly marks the
two positions of the Democratic party touch,
ing the platform. believe in platforms as
essential to the very existence of political
faith. The Democratic party has always re,
lied on platforms since the resolutions of
'98, and it has never before refused to explain
its platforms when subject to double con
struction. Is not that the present condition
of the Cincinnati platform, which both Con,
ventions have adopted entire? In that con
nection, may say here tonight that I
made all ofthe Cincinnati platform achich
bears on This question, and therefore I hidh
l understand 1t and haze some little right to
erpound 1t. And I affirm Of that portion
that II has not, noachere IN 1t or ander 1t, by
line, or sentence, or aoOrol, or construction, or
possible conceptions one particle Of "squat or
sovereignty"
"Squatter sovereignty" if it have any
meaning, means that tho Legislature or a
newly organized Territory, at its first session,
can prohibit and destroy the right of the
citizens of all the States to come into that
Territory or live in that Territory with their
slave property. But the Cincinnati platform
denies that power in the most explicit terms
After announcing "NoNINTERFERENcE'' by
Congress as the rule, it fixes the precise
time when alone, and not before, the PEOPLE
of a Territory can intervene and act upon
slavery and that is when forming a Con
stitution for State. 1t sums up the whole
power of the Territories over slavery thus !:
"Resolved That we recognize the right of
the PEOPLE of the Territories, (not the Leg,
islature,) whenever the number of their in
habitants jasti6es it, to form Constitution,
with or without slavery, and be admitted into
the Union upon terms Of perfect equality
with the other States"
Thus it is defined that the right of the
people of Territory to settle the sta us of
slavery begins only when they begin to form
| Constitution and not before. That is the
Cincinnati platforms clear and palpable, and
n no wise liable justly to double faced
