| Gov. Medary, the verltabIe Samuel Nc
Diary, late of Ohio, and representative
Democrat of the Douglas stamp, has
VETOED the bill recently passed by the
| Legislature of Kansas, prohibiting Slavery
| in that Territory. Let the people of the
Northwest read, mark, learn and inwardly
digest this striking event of current politi-
1 cal history.
Ifnevef before, the fact is no,s clearly
| demonstrated that the Sham Democracy
has made it a special object to force
Slavery iuto Kansas. They have, indeed,
already shown this, in many ways, but
| in the recent yetees OF Coy. Black in
| Kansas, we have the boldeSt, most shame
| less, and most undeniable- demonstration
of this often disavowed purpose. This
fnal test removes all chance for cquivoca-
| tion or evasion. The exact value of the
\ much vauBted doctrine of popular sover-
eignty,n broachcd by Douglas as lucky
after thought to mitigate the enormity oil
his sacrilegiou5 crime in disturbing the
Missouri Compromise, is now SO plainly
seen, that those who run may read. An
Executive VETO, under dictation from
Washington, is interposed with u view to
thwart the viii of the people.
Let us see what Douglas-the great
| Demo cratic champion i'll the Northwest
promised US in his Dill organizing Kansas
and Nebraska. He and his party pledged
| themselves, in regard to those very Terri
tories, "to leave the people thereof per-
fectIy free to form aud regulate their
domestic institutions in their own Way
In due time, the people of each OF those
Territories, in n manner perfectly legiti-
mate, and through their Legislatures,
chosen in accordance with the provisions
of the organic acts given to each by Con-
gress, decreed that slavery should not
exist therein. And how has the solemn
pledge, thus made to them By the Demo-
cratic party, been redeemed2 Why, Gov.
Black, Northern Democrat, in whose
appointment they had no voice whatever.

clares that they shall have slavery in Ne

| And now we have an act of the Kansas
Territorial Legislature, strictly coniormed
| to all the conditions prescribed by the or
| ganic act, and passed in the exercise of a
| right which Douglas and the Democratic
party have solemnly pledged themselves to
| defend and maintain, in like manner tram
| pied under foot by Governor Medn-y, a
Douglas Democrat, who, in the name oI
| his masters. repudiatcs and contemns the
Voice of the peoplcl He must bolster up
| Slavery by the exercise OF a veto power,
always and everywhere odious, unless ex-
ercfsed in extreme cases, and so partieu-
larly disliked in the State from which he
is taken to do this dirty work" that no
such prerogative is allowed to its Cover
nor, although chosen directly by the Peo-
lc. Rather than submit to such infnmy, 1t
| would haYe-beell u thousand fold better
for Medary,A and for the Ohio Democracy,
had he resigned his office, or suffered his
name to be added to the list of beheaded
Kansas Governors. Yet tn Douglas Dem
ocrat has proved himself most plant tool.
Douglas himself would have been found
equally obseqUious, had he been in Media
RVS place.
Let US be told no more that the great
object of the Democracy-of the Douglas
Democracy-i5 not to extend Slavery, and
to force it into the Territories, in utter de
fiance of the popular will, and in direct
reputation OF the sham pretense of squat
ter sovereignty. The record is now com
plete. 1t is in words that no man can mis-
take. 1t will be held up prominently be-
fore the people, all through the coming
canvass. These last acts of degradation,
this crUwning infamy in Kansas, had to be
pcrpetrated, that Douglas might have a
chance at Charleston. Let the Democrn-
cy reward this treachery. Let them graf
ify the people with an opportunity to ex-
press their estimate of the mischief done
by DougIns in 1854, and of his corsum-
mate political knavery, from the beginning
of this Kansas business, except when for
Il brief time restrained by the exigencies
of pending Senatorial canvass, down to
the present moment.

Democrat. Medary. Slavery will be abol-
ished there, despite the otiicious intermed-
ding of Democratic Supreme Judges and
tue uubIushing treachery Of Democratic
leaders. Meantime, Kansas is to be kept
out of the Union, in punishment for choos-
ing free labor, and in spite of the fact that
she was long since voted in, on the sole
| important condition of agreeing to accept
Slavery. z.s-.s- ID
