THE WHITE MANS SLAVE CODE.
The \. y. Courier d; Enquirer says it was
wei; known in Washington, tllrco days before
Dou:Ias launched Ills infamous scheme for
White Mau*s Slave Code, that Senator Bislcr
was about to introduce 4 bill for the r,inisll-
,ncnt Of crimes like John Browns invasion Of
Virginia. Mr.. Douglas was fully advised Of
the fact. liz was aware that the bill llwould
80 straight to tue Judiciary, Committee, and
would 10 thore put in the shape in which the
majority Of tho Senate would choose to have
il enacted. Therefore he {Douelas) seized an
opportunity, an hour or two before Dieler Ind
arranged to put his measure before the Senate,
to thrust in his ow'u resolution. The point VIC
wish u impress upon the frecmen Of the
Northwest is that there w;ls no emergency
cll;ug for the extraordinary haste and vim
dictisencss which Mr.. Douglas displayed in
lighting and hourishng his new tirc-brand.-
He acted in tlle nlccr waE,onncss of ,nischie-
vuus malice. Digler's sciemc wcs bad enough
ccr.a;nly-proposiug u enact n definition Of
lie crime Of treason, wholly different from,
that established br the Constitution. Of the
United States. ETe. it did not SEEK to punish
epinions or intentions. 1t did not asst1mc to

aud prevalent ideas to an accomplished crime /;
:.s, for instaucc, TO suppress all the Suas;ay-
schools in tho country aud send tile teachers

might grow up 10 10 u murderer. No; Mr.

well known as anything can be, that II
there should be IN election By the people,
Lincoln will be onr next President; and
that should the election 60 into Congress,
either breckenridge or Lane will be chosen.
No contingency can arise to prevent tic
realization Of one or the other Of these al
ternatiyes. The people Of the North who
may be 6eludcd into voting for some other
person On tie sixth Of November, will SIM
DIV perform al act Of self Acknowledgement.
