from Mexico? What says the bill from
the House Of Representative now on
your table, repeating the slave code in
New Mexico established by the people
themselves? II as part Of the history o,

J ple Of Nc,c Kerico haze ia,r,ducea and

yet you say that this is sac.ahce OF
Southern rights?
These are the fruits of this principle
which the Senator from Mississippi re-
CARDS as hostile to the rights Of the
South. Where did you ever set any
other fruits that were more pa'tabe to
YOUR t;st, or more refreshing to
your strength? What other inch OF free

Here we have it confessed BY Douglas
himself that his doctrine of non inter.
vention has converted into slare terrific

tho State Of New York and all Of which
was once free. We ask now in all can
dor how any man conscienciously op
posed to the further extension Of slav.
cry can support this putativo father Of
non Intervention for the highest Office
in the gift Of our people.
His principles if carried out fully
, would not only convert free territory
: into slave, but would countenance and
support illibustsring. So at least it is
understood and interpreted at the
South.
The Tuc Delta, his principal organ
in Louisiana, and the Mobile Register Of
Alabama so understand it, and while
they have been favoring Douglas and
his doctrines they have also been strong
advocates Of the 6llibuster movements.
But stronger proof than all, that it is
doctrine that smiles upon fllibusterism
is, that be is supported By that great re
/ lentless scourging fllibuster Gen. Wm.
Walker, who spread havoc and murder
in the province of Nicaragua.

who support Douglas; those who advo-
cate fillibusterism and tho opening Of
the slave trade, because the doctrine Of
non Intervention when fully carried out.
supports these wild and furious schemes
In further proof Of this We here present
some extracts from the speech Of Mr..
Gou!den, at the Baltimore Convention.
He was Douglas delegate from Geor-
